Pros

Wonderfully comfortable and supportive seats
Impressive power and electric range from available plug-in hybrid model
Optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system sounds great

Cons

Frustrating touchscreen interface
Less trunk space than most rivals

What's new

High-performance Polestar Engineered model discontinued
Dark appearance theme now standard
Heated seats added to Climate package
Part of the third S60 generation introduced for 2019

Overview

One of today's underrated compact luxury sedans, the Volvo S60 doesn't typically find its way into the conversation with class standouts like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. And while the 2024 Volvo S60 isn't as athletic as those rivals, or offer Mercedes-like indulgence, it provides its own brand of ice-cool luxury, with high-quality cabin materials, sublime seat comfort, and advanced driver and safety aids. It also offers a rarity for the class: a plug-in hybrid option. For drivers who prefer fluidity to fireworks in a luxury sedan, the S60 earns its place alongside its more vocal peers.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Volvo S60 B5 Core 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: Plug in for power

Among the features that set the 2024 Volvo S60 apart from its rivals — exceptionally comfy seats, understated style, standout Bowers & Wilkins audio system — is its optional plug-in powertrain. The Recharge T8, as it's called, pairs a rechargeable electric motor with a turbocharged gas engine for both increased fuel efficiency (the EPA rates it at up to 530 miles of range on a full tank and battery) and about 40 miles of all-electric range. The S60 Recharge also adds a wallop of horsepower and nearly double the low-end torque of the standard gas engine, and it can refill its battery in five hours on a 240-volt charger. We'd take the Recharge for its extra performance and efficiency, even with the nearly $10K premium.

Competitors to consider

The compact luxury sedan class is flush with choices, starting with established benchmarks like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Then there are more affordable alternatives like the Cadillac CT4 and Genesis G70. All offer sharper handling compared to the S60 (the Mercedes leans into its luxury roots more than any performance pedigree), which is closer in execution to the similarly cushy Lexus IS 350. The S60 has an edge with its optional plug-in hybrid, though. BMW offers the only other rechargeable rival.

Which S60 does Edmunds recommend?

The base trim comes well equipped, but we think it's worth the stretch to the midlevel Plus trim. It builds on the Core trim with upgrades that make daily drives more pleasant, including leather upholstery, cabin air purifier, and additional safety aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane-centering for reduced stress on long drives. A surround-view camera and front and rear parking sensors also make parking easier.

Volvo S60 models

The 2024 Volvo S60 is sold in Core, Plus and Ultimate trim levels. All trims offer either the B5 or Recharge T8 powertrain. The former pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (247 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque) with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive (AWD only for Ultimate trim). The Recharge T8 combines the B5 engine with a plug-in hybrid system for more power (455 hp, 523 lb-ft), greater fuel efficiency, and up to 40 miles of all-electric range. It only comes with all-wheel drive.

Core
The base trim comes well equipped with:

18-inch wheels
Adaptive LED headlights
Panoramic sunroof
Keyless entry and ignition
Interior ambient lighting
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Synthetic leather upholstery
Heated front seats (AWD only)

Advanced driving aids and safety features include:

Forward collision mitigation (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

Plus
The Plus expands on the base model with:

Leather upholstery
Upgraded interior ambient lighting
Power-folding rear seats and headrests
Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the S60 and the car in front)
Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the S60 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Front parking sensors

Ultimate
The fully loaded Ultimate adds:

19-inch wheels
Front seats with power-extendable seat bottom
Passenger seat memory settings
Four-zone automatic climate control (B5 only)
Crystal gear shifter
14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

All trim levels come standard with the Dark exterior styling theme, which adds gloss black exterior trim. The optional Black Edition package goes a step further by adding the crystal gearshift, front seat-bottom power extension, passenger seat memory settings, and black 19-inch wheels (Core and Plus trims only), along with a black grille emblem, black badging, and black interior upholstery and headliner (only available in Onyx Black and Crystal White paint colors).

The S60 only offers a few other options, including:

Climate package

Heated front seats (FWD only)
Heated rear seats
Heated steering wheel
Headlight spray cleaners

19-inch wheels (Core and Plus trims only)
14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system (Plus trim only)
15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system (Ultimate trim only)

5/5 stars, 2020 s60 review inside info

Brian mc, 11/07/2019

T5 Momentum 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

This is my second Volvo S 60 in a row. I’ve had BMWs and Audi’s before but like the Volvo driving, transmission, and safety. I purchased a white t5 momentum with the premium package and heated seats and the blonde leatherette interior. It drives much nicer than my 2013 s60 and much more rear leg room. Overall it feels like a bigger smoother version. Here’s my buying advice. Blond …

B5 Inscription 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

This is my first Volvo ever, I’ve owned many brands of automobiles and this. Volvo by far is quality and attention to detail inside and out! Superb interior finishes and materials, comfortable and has great looks as well. I am very impressed.

T6 Inscription 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)

I love the interior, technology, and exterior styling. What I hate is the unreliability and nagging little alerts that require a service visit. Purchased new in June 2020, the T6 Inscription model massage, heated and cooling seats. As of March 2021, I’ve driven a total 2600 miles. I’ve had service lights to come on three times and one being URGENT SRS Failure—take immediately to …

T6 Inscription 4dr Sedan AWD w/Prod. End 11/20 (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)

This review is describing the experience with 2021 Volvo S60 T6 AWD Inscription, having last for VIN digits 3850. The car was ordered in June of 2020 and delivered to the dealer from factory on 10/23/2020. It was equipped with all available options, including Polestar software, with out-of-door price of $57,450. The car was received from the dealer (Volvo Cars Mission Viejo) on … 10/29/20, approximately 90 miles away from my residence – no San Diego dealer was actually willing to order the car using preconfigured specifications from Volvo website. The car failed at mile 28 away from the dealership – the odometer was at 34 miles. The first indication was that “signals are at fault”, immobilizing the left turn signaling. When the dealer was contacted the same afternoon, we were told that the car needs to be towed in (from 90 miles away), since one should not drive without operational signals. We never heard from them again. That was just the beginning of the S60 experience. During the next few days, we tried to contact Volvo directly, who advised us “that it is now dealership problem”. Not receiving any response from Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we tried to schedule local (San Diego) service. We were put thru gauntlet, being berated by “why did you not buy the car from us” and “it serves you well since you did not buy the car here”. Finally, the car was taken to San Diego Volvo, by scheduling the appointment and the car loaner. The “customer adviser” did not show up at scheduled time; we were told to “wait until someone shows up”, since “he owns the appointment”. Hours later, he did show up and informed us that there is “no car loaner” – in spite of guarantee that one would wait for us. Having no choice, we left the car with the dealership overnight. The next morning, I was informed that the car is “repaired” – the claim was that the entire left-side electronic module (responsible for 360 camera and signaling) was faulty and was replaced. Attempting to collect the car the next day, we were presented with the same fault (no signal, no 360 degree camera) and were sent back on our way (sans car), forced to leave the car over the weekend. The next week, we were summoned again to collect the car. This time around, the car functioned for 3 (three) full days, resuming the same fault. It then escalated: it refused to start, at random intervals. We are now stuck with a brand-new vehicle (less than 500 miles on the odometer) and no recourse other than to hire an attorney. As far as buying this car – please pass. While it looks good on paper (which is why we bought it), it is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever had – including the garage queen Audi Q5. When it does drive, it is inferior to A4 and much, much worse than any Lexus sedan we owned (LS and GS). Any comparison with BMW 3 series (presumed competition) is just laughable – its handling is boat-like for anyone accustomed to BMW precision and stiff chassis. However, much, much worse than the vehicle is actual Volvo customer “support” – it turns out that there is no such thing in existence.
