In the last decade or so diesel vehicles have
become increasingly more popular on the local market and when driving cars like this Volvo S60 D5 I can clearly see why. With the latest technology engines they simply offer such
good all-round packages regarding economy
and performance that they are hard to beat.
This particular Volvo S60 D5 comes powered by
a turbocharged 2.4-litre 5-cylinder diesel engine.Besides the lovely engine note of the 5-cylinder unit, this engine also packs a nice punch
with 158kW and 440Nm of torque on tap. More
impressive is the fact that this unit delivers its
maximum torque at only 1 500 r/min, ensuring
great tractability in any gear. Put your foot down
and you would feel that there is no sudden kick
from the turbocharger but rather a smooth transition of power as the turbo spools up. Around
7.5 seconds later you would have reached a
100 km/h, while this Swede will run out of steam
at around 230 km/h. Not bad at all for a diesel
luxury saloon of this nature. Volvo quotes a combined urban fuel consumption figure of 5.9-litres
