About the Volvo S60

Featuring precision craftsmanship to elevate it above the competition, the striking Volvo S60 has the honor of being Volvo’s first car manufactured in the United States at a new manufacturing facility in Ridgeville, South Carolina. Drivers will have their choice of a generously-equipped Core, Plus, or Ultra variant. Two distinct powertrain options help ensure that there’s a Volvo S60 to suit every type of driving style.

Topping the range is an advanced plug-in hybrid system that boasts a combined system output of 455 horsepower along with capable all-wheel drive to help you conquer the elements. A balanced chassis design combined with a selection of drive mode settings provide a rewarding experience behind the wheel of the S60. Inside, drivers will be greeted by a cabin finished with traditional Scandinavian design elements along with an array of advanced technology features.

What the Critics Say

“We found the S60 to be a handsome, solid, quiet, and roomy sedan with plenty of headroom, even with the large panoramic sunroof. Backseat room is equally impressive, as a 6-foot-tall person can sit with ease behind a driver of the same height. The electric-assist power steering feels natural, and well-controlled body motions help this 5-seat Volvo stay composed on twisty and undulating roads.” — Kelley Blue Book

“Volvo flaunts its superb build quality inside the S60, which delights with upscale materials throughout and uncommon attention to detail. The design is undeniably forward-thinking and replete with flourishes such as jeweled switchgear and supremely comfortable seats.” — Car & Driver

What’s New for 2025

The big news for 2025 is the introduction of the Black Edition appearance package, which includes black exterior trim and wheels, and is available with either Onyx Black or Crystal White paint. It is available only on the Ultra trim, which is the new name for what used to be the Ultimate trim, another of the changes for 2025. Other changes include power folding headrests making the list of standard equipment, and the dropping of the “Recharge” branding for the T8 plug-in hybrid drivetrain.

Volvo S60 Exterior Styling

Eye-Catching Exterior

Taking cues from its V60 wagon sibling and the larger S90 sedan, the Volvo S60 offers a completely refreshed exterior appearance. Signature design elements include Volvo Thor’s Hammer LED headlamps, panoramic moonroof, and elegant 18-inch alloy wheels. A sleek side profile, chiseled sides, and muscular shoulders above the rear wheels emphasize strength while giving the S60 an instantly-recognizable look. A longer hood emphasizes the potent performance found on every S60. No matter where you’re headed, the S60 will help you make a memorable entrance.

Volvo S60 Performance

Potent Performance

Two distinctive powertrains make it simple to find a Volvo S60 that perfectly suits your driving preferences. Standard power comes from a B5 mild hybrid turbocharged engine with 247 horsepower and front-wheel drive. Available all-wheel drive provides enhanced control and grip in all types of weather conditions. The new B5 mild hybrid powertrains recover energy produced when braking and store it in a 48V battery. When this energy is used to assist the engine, fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions are both reduced.

For the ultimate in performance, choose the T8 plug-in hybrid drivetrain which delivers a combined system output of 455 horsepower. You’ll have complete control of the standard 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Selectable drive modes give you the ability to customize the performance, versatility, and efficiency of the Volvo S60.

Volvo S60 Interior

Refined Interior

Each aspect of the interior of the Volvo S60 has been meticulously crafted to provide a serene, uncluttered environment that welcomes drivers and passengers. Enjoy the natural light that fills the cabin from the standard panoramic roof, or the standard ambient cabin lighting if you’re driving at night. Choose from three different seat upholstery materials, including Nappa leather, and a tailored wool option. If you’re craving additional luxury, Ultra models include décor panels trimmed in Linear Lime, a unique wood treatment. Optional Contour seats provide multi-directional lumbar support, an adjustable cushion extension, and improved side support for a refreshing feeling on long journeys. Throughout the cabin, traditional Scandinavian design and craftsmanship combine to produce a truly upscale environment.

Volvo S60 Infotainment

Cutting-Edge Technology

Serving as your centralized hub for infotainment, a standard 9-inch Touchscreen offers a portrait layout for easy access to information and reduced scrolling. Thanks to its special non-reflective coating, you can even interact with the screen while wearing gloves. Seamless smartphone integration is made possible by standard Google built-in and Apple CarPlay™ connectivity. The Volvo Cars app connects your phone, tablet or wearable device with your S60 and gives you complete control of numerous remote functions.

Giving you support when you need it most, the Volvo S60 includes Pilot Assist with Adaptive Cruise Control to make driving in heavy traffic less tiring. Take the guesswork out of parking with a standard 360˚ Surround View Camera which provides a bird’s eye view of your surroundings. Volvo City Safety uses radar and camera technology to identify other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead, day or night.
