It's not enough that the S60 is the best-selling model
from Volvo, one that comes in a smooth sedan's form with
an abundance of standard features. And it's not enough that
the S60 is thoroughly safe, as all Volvo vehicles are.
It's not enough because Volvo truly puts time and effort
into making the best possible cars for today's world. So
like all Volvo models, the S60 comes with an Environmental
Product Declaration certified by Lloyd's Register of London,
UK. This declaration certifies that the S60 meets environmental
standards throughout the life cycle of the car.
For 2004, there is a new model, plus a of bit engine reshuffling.
Other than that, the 2004 Volvo S60 remains confident, strong
and safe.
Available Models
The 2004 Volvo S60 is offered in a total of four models:
base, 2.5T, T5 and R. T5 and R models are covered separately.
Interior Features
The four-door S60 is plenty spacious. It seats five passengers,
providing up to 42.6 inches of front leg room. Up front,
the head room tops out at 38.7 inches.
The 2004 Volvo S60 is well appointed, with many standard
