Volvo is adding AWD to the S60 solely to enhance road-holding and stability, so don't think of this car as some kind of Swedish Subaru Outback sedan. Ground clearance is the same as a regular S60, and the tires are designed for pavement performance.
In fact, so transparent is the all-wheel-drive system's operation that most people might not realize the car has four driven wheels until they encounter a situation where added grip is required. We drove the new S60 2.4T AWD on wet paved and gravel roads in New England and came away impressed with how unobtrusively the car's AWD managed the power and how well it held its ground.
Full-throttle starts on loose gravel resulted in an instant of front wheelspin and torque steer followed by the rear tires digging in and thrusting the S60 forward in a rush of turbo boost. During tight turns taken in the wet, the S60 AWD tracked confidently with steady power applied to the appropriate wheels. And during slalom runs on slimy grass and dirt, the S60 could be deftly drifted from cone to cone, the all-wheel drive keeping the car on course as we threaded the needle.
With a 2.4-liter 197-horsepower, turbocharged five-cylinder engine under the hood (currently the only engine offered), the S60 AWD is no screamer. And with an additional 150 pounds of drivetrain, it's also not likely to be any quicker than the front-drive model, though we expect acceleration times to be nearly identical thanks to the AWD version's increased grip off the line. Still, this is a pleasing motor, thanks to a maximum of 210 pound-feet of torque available at a low 1,800 rpm.
