east41st 3rd Gear May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 (edited) Test drove the Drive-E S60. The pickup and torque is vastly superior than previous volvos. If they put the Drive-E engine into the V40, it will be a really really hot hatch. Edited May 9, 2015 by east41st ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhicharboy Clutched May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 Test drove the Drive-E S60. The pickup and torque is vastly superior than previous volvos. If they put the Drive-E engine into the V40, it will be a really really hot hatch. Nice! Supercharged and turbocharged packing 300+ horsepower stock, all in a 2.0L engine. Less road tax, more power, gotta be vastly superior from the looks of the specs. =) Agree they should start packing these configs in a hot hatch!

But pay $10k indent fee just to do something like get the bending bi-xenons is lame... though I guess if got $$$ it's worth it for the T6! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtsjv 1st Gear May 17, 2015 Share May 17, 2015 I can imagine how fast the 4cyl S60 T6 will be, having already experienced the 6cyl S60 T6. however, if can indent should get the S60/V60 Polestar version. 350hp 6 cyl engine with AWD. 0-100 4.9s. 300+ hp on a FWD car (4 cyl T6) might not be as fun.. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 Neutral Newbie May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Anyone has tested the new S60 ? Saw the Promo price and the power looks good ! Is the S60 T5 Drive E as powerful as it claims to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashing completely! Is the S60 T5 Drive E as powerful as it claims to be? Tested the XC60 T5 a while ago. Honestly with the 8 gears, it feels a little more sluggish getting up to the top speed compared to the 6 gears It's the drive-E T5. Don't think they have the S60 drive-E T6. Yea. Went down to showroom, had a chat, had a test drive. It's a little disappointing. COE at current level, Volvo Singapore's direction of selling 'SAFE CAR', polestar tune only limited to max 245bhp and only selective models, I think we're missing out a lot on the potential and future advancements of the brand here.

Skrukawa 1st Gear August 15, 2015 Share August 15, 2015 S60 D2 end of life and no more production? Is this true? Told by SE at showroom, pushing to sell V40. Actually other countries are D3 and above. not surprised if we're getting their old stocks clearance. There is OCBC cycle Event D2s car now, but not sure when these events cars will stop having D2s if what SE say is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrukawa 1st Gear August 15, 2015 Share August 15, 2015 Really? But no one post D2s leh... Looks like SG have only 😂 Maybe D2s not powerful enough for them? I can't even find D2 thread on their forum, mostly talk about D3 up, and petrol variants. Haven't come across D2s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even find D2 thread on their forum, mostly talk about D3 up, and petrol variants. Haven't come across D2s. seems majority of countries go for D4/D5/T4/T5. We get D2 probably because of Category A + CEVS rebate and because we are a country that will pay inflated price for a car that takes 12s to get to 100km/h... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
