2024 Volvo S60 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

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)
  • 12.3-inch digital driver display screen
  • 9-inch touchscreen display
  • Google Maps navigation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Four USB-C ports
  • 10-speaker audio system (11 speakers with Recharge T8)
  • Whiplash-protection front seats

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)

Which S60 trim 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.
