Horrible decision

I bought my 2021 & problems with it began 2 weeks after purchase with condensation in the headlamps. The condensation didn’t remain long enough to satisfy Volvo’s standards to rate replacement so the issue continues intermittently. The problems are ongoing- issues with the anti-collision activating for no reason, not receiving notifications regarding when service is needed, the fobs not syncing, Car Play not working, seat memory not storing- too many more to list. $42,000 and countless hours at the dealership. Worst. Car. Ever. Should’ve gotten a Mercedes.

Best car I've ever owned!

I live in the Midwest where charging infrastructure is lacking to support EV travel. The hybrid system is ideal for this part of the country. I charge in my garage and start the day with a fresh 40+ miles every day. It's like somebody stops by by garage and puts two gallons of gas in the car every night while I'm sleeping. Seriously, I do all my local errands on battery and only use gas for distance driving. I'm retired so I don't have the daily commute and only fill up about once a month. If I need to replenish the battery I can do that on the highway without stopping to charge. The one pedal driving and regenerative brakes save lots of wear on brake pads. The seats are very comfortable and the interior is very quiet. All in all it is the best of both worlds; EV and ICE.

2023 Volvo S60 B5 AWD HIDDEN GEM

2023 Volvo S60 B5 Plus Dark 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

This car is beautiful inside and out! Ride is supple, stable and transmission is smooth as silk. Seats are excellent! A few things to note: The mild hybrid controls the Auto Start Stop system and it is seamless. In my older Volvo I used to disable Auto Start Stop immediately but in the 2023 is nearly invisible. NOTE: You cannot DISABLE Auto Start Stop in the new Google Infotainment System. At first, I was very worried about this but like I said--no problem at all with the Mild-Hybrid. If necessary, when you are in really heavy stop and go traffic, just put the transmission in M mode (Manual) and this will disable Auto-Start Stop system. I find the new Google Infotainment system very easy to use. Google Assistant can do almost everything with voice commands! Google Maps is in the center of the dash display--LOVE THIS! Car has optional 19 inch wheels with 235/40/19. Even with the larger wheels (which I did not want but came with the car) the suspension is still very comfortable. This car is made for luxury not sport! Superb materials throughout the car. Panoramic moonroof gives light and airy feel to interior. Harmon Kardon sound system worth the upgrade! Denim Blue/Blonde Interior is a gorgeous combination, in my opinion. The 2023 Volvo S60 is built in South Carolina. Treat yourself and go test drive the car! The PLUS trim is outstanding--leather. 360 camera, Pilot Assist, etc. GREAT CAR!

They just discontinued the best hybrid sport sedan

I just read that Volvo is discontinuing the S60 line in the US. I went from a BMW 550xi to this car last year and am amazed that I like driving it better than the BMW. The 550xi had a supercharged V8. The combination of the electric engine with the 4 cylinder gas engine in the Volvo is surprisingly quicker and the car is more responsive in the Polestar mode than the BMW was. The added benefit of driving in electric mode for the majority of my miles commuting to work and around town has gotten me about 70 miles to the gallon. I considered going to an all electric but am so happy I did not as I know I would have suffered from fear of the battery dying and I just like to get to where I am going, not planning on long stops. So far I have had no problems whatsoever with 18000 miles of mixed driving. The all-wheel drive is similar to other sedans. It's going to get you around in the snow most places with the right tires unless ground clearance is an issue. I took it skiing a few times this year and felt secure. The additional weight from the battery helps it to feel more secure in the snow. Overall, I am thrilled with this car. I am just a little shocked that the word did not get out and their sales have caused them to discontinue it going forward.

fully charged battery can truly go over 40 miles if you are not too aggressive hitting the gas. more than enough acceleration and handles nicely.
