Looking for a sport sedan that feels premium without being flashy, efficient without feeling dull, and safe without compromising style? The 2025 Volvo S60 hits that sweet spot. With its clean Scandinavian design, whisper-quiet cabin, and a tech suite that makes every drive easier, the S60 is ideal for commuters, weekend cruisers, and anyone who wants luxury that simply works. Whether you’re shopping new inventory, a lightly driven service loaner, or a Certified by Volvo example, this compact luxury sedan delivers a refined, confident experience from the first test drive.
Design that ages gracefully
The S60’s proportions are classic sports sedan—long hood, short deck, and a poised stance—accented by Volvo’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlights and a crisp, uncluttered body. Subtle chrome or gloss-black details (depending on trim) highlight the grille and window line without drawing too much attention. Out back, vertical taillamps frame a wide trunk opening, and wheel options range from understated to assertive. It’s a shape chosen to outlast trends, and it works: elegant at the curb, purposeful on the highway.
Performance and efficiency
Powertrains in the S60 focus on smooth, usable performance rather than headline numbers. The mild-hybrid B-series engine pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder with 48-volt assistance for quick, seamless starts and confident passing. All-wheel drive is available on many builds for extra traction in bad weather, while the standard eight-speed automatic keeps revs low and shifts unobtrusive. For shoppers who want quick response off the line and the ability to do around-town trips largely on electricity when charged, look for the S60 Recharge plug-in hybrid. It blends strong torque with serene EV cruising, and on longer drives the gasoline engine steps in smoothly—no range anxiety, just fewer fuel stops.
Ride and handling
Volvo tunes the S60 for composure. Steering is light but precise in parking lots and reassuring on the highway, and the chassis filters rough pavement without floating. It’s a sedan you can drive all week without fatigue, and one that stays relaxed and quiet on weekend road trips. Available drive modes let you tailor throttle and steering responses, while larger wheels and adaptive damping (where equipped) add a touch of athleticism without compromising the S60’s calm demeanor.
A cabin designed for people
Inside, the S60 feels like a high-end lounge more than a gadget lab. Materials are carefully chosen—soft-touch surfaces, metal accents, and available open-pore wood—and the seats are outstanding. Volvo’s front chairs are famous for support on long hauls, with available power thigh extension, heating, ventilation, and memory. Rear passengers get generous headroom and adult-friendly legroom for the class, and the trunk is wide, flat, and ready for carry-ons, golf bags, or a week’s groceries. Small details make daily life smoother: deep door bins, a covered console, and charging ports where you actually need them.
Google built-in and intuitive tech
The S60’s infotainment centers on a clean, vertically oriented touchscreen with Google built-in on most trims—so you get native Google Maps, Google Assistant voice control, and access to apps through Google Play. It’s fast, modern, and updated over the air. Apple CarPlay is supported for those who prefer their phone’s ecosystem. A crisp digital driver display keeps essential info front and center, while available head-up display reduces eyes-off-the-road moments. Audiophiles should sample the upgraded systems: the Harman Kardon unit is richly detailed, and the available top-tier setup adds a spacious, concert-like soundstage.
Safety, standard
Volvo’s safety reputation isn’t just marketing. The S60 is engineered with a strong safety cage and advanced airbag coverage, and it equips an extensive suite of driver-assistance features. You’ll find forward collision mitigation with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping aid, blind-spot monitoring with steering support, and rear cross-traffic alerts. Many examples include Pilot Assist—hands-on adaptive cruise with lane centering—that lowers stress in traffic and on long highway stretches. Large windows and thin pillars improve outward visibility, and available 360-degree cameras simplify tight downtown parking.
Trims and popular options
The S60 range is straightforward, with well-equipped core trims that can be tailored via carefully curated packages. Highlights shoppers often seek include a panoramic roof, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, head-up display, 360-degree camera, and premium audio. If you drive in cold climates, the climate package is a must-have; if you parallel park frequently, the surround-view system quickly becomes indispensable. Ask to compare builds with different wheel sizes—bigger wheels sharpen the look, while smaller diameters preserve the plushest ride.
