Volvo S60
The S60 line-up gets a new engine for 2012. Last year, the only version available was the T6 equipped with a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine. This year marks the introduction of the T5 and its 2.5L 5-cylinder that produces 250 hp. Whereas the T6 comes with AWD, the T5 gets FWD only. A high-performance model, the T6 R-Design, is expected to come out later this year.
