Volvo now serves the S60 with Turbodiesel in the Philippines
Words by Christopher Kho



While engineers are still busy deliberating on the real world savings of hybrids, the conservative Swedes went ahead and jumped on the diesel bandwagon by adding a diesel alternative to their growing S60 line-up. With a promise of fuel efficiency figures as high as 22 km/L, the new S60 D3 Turbodiesel could just be the perfect fuel-saving solution for eco-conscious citizens, and it’s now available here through Volvo Philippines' showrooms.

Under the hood is a 2.0L five-cylinder Turbodiesel powerplant that produces 163 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, coupled to a six-speed geartronic transmission - more than enough grunt to let it keep up with its petrol-powered counterparts. And the best part is, it's at least 20% more fuel efficient than the already-frugal 1.6L T4.

Wow, when did this happen?

Wonder if it's the same five-cylinder engine family as found in the new Ranger? And I wonder if that will make it into the next Focus?

Not related to the 3.2L 5-cyl used in the Ranger, and also won't be available to the Focus.
