Volvo has recently released a refresh for multiple models of its 2013 range, with the carmaker focusing on tech upgrades for the S60, V60, V70 and S80. We'll start with the main novelty: the automotive producer offers a new 2.0-liter five-cylinder diesel unit that allows the driver to use 140 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.
The list of tech developments also includes active high beam headlights, which assist the driver in switching between the low and the high beams, with a tunnel feature that automatically switches on the lights when the car enters a tunnel.

We also have a few changes for the cabin, where the automatic transmission models receive an illuminated gear shifter. The carmaker has also introduced a system that reads road signs and displays them in the instrument cluster.
