Volvo S60 2010–2013 car dimensions: 4628 mm long, 1865 mm wide and 1484 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,481 kg. Braked towing is 1,800 kg.
The cabin is driver-focused with supportive front seats and a floating centre console. Sensus presents audio, phone and other info on a 5-inch or 7-inch colour screen controlled by steering-wheel scroll and centre buttons. Dual-zone electronic climate control and cruise control come as standard. City Safety provides low-speed automatic emergency braking on every car. Rear parking sensors appear on mid and higher grades, with front sensors, a reversing camera, BLIS blind-spot warning and lane departure warning available as options or in packages.
Boot space measures 380 litres with the seats up. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand the load area but do not fold fully flat, and the opening shape can make loading bulky items awkward. A folding load divider, bag hooks and elastic strap help secure cargo.
Most versions are rated to tow 1800 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked, though some lower-powered automatic models are limited to 1600 kg braked. Trailer Stability Assist is available. Payload varies with engine and equipment but is not quoted as a single figure across the range. The car suits occasional light trailer use rather than regular heavy-duty work.
The cabin is driver-focused with sports seats that provide strong side support from thighs to shoulders for long drives without fatigue. Dual-zone electronic climate control keeps temperatures steady with B-pillar vents for rear passengers. Quality materials and a floating centre stack create a refined feel. Power seats with memory and lumbar are available on higher grades. A power glass moonroof opens the space to light when fitted. Heated front seats, rear seats and steering wheel options add warmth for cold weather.
