-New model

Volvo returns to the wagon segment for 2015 with the V60, a longroof version of the S60 sedan that got a styling update in 2015, and new four-cylinder engines (dubbed DriveE by Volvo) and an eight-speed transmission for this year.

Engines include a new Drive-E 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, a turbocharged five-cylinder good for 250 hp/266 lb-ft, and a turbocharged six-cylinder tuned for either 300, 325 or 350 hp, and 325, 354 or 369 lb-ft, depending on what trim it ends up in. Drive-E cars use an eight-speed automatic, while the rest get a six-speed. Missing here is the 300-hp turbocharged AND supercharged Drive-E four-cylinder available in T6 versions of the sedan.
