Overview
The third-generation Volvo S60 entered production in 2018 for the 2019 model, going on sale in October 2018. With sales of three-box sedans steadily losing ground to SUV variants (and in Volvo's case, to the V60 as well), US production ended in June 2024 and sales came to an end in North America and Europe.
Trim levels
The S60 is available in Core, Plus, Ultimate, and Polestar trim levels depending on the sales market. Other than the Polestar, T6 Momentum, and T6 R-Design trims, all S60 models can be traditionally purchased or leased. Polestar models were offered solely through Volvo's Care by Volvo monthly subscription plan for the 2019 model year for the United States market.
Engines
The S60 comes with four engine options: the t4, 187hp/190hp, the T5, which features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder sending 252 hp to the front wheels (or all four wheels in some markets as an option), the T6, which features a Twincharged 2.0 I4, sending 316 hp to all 4 wheels, and the T8, a performance-oriented plug-in hybrid which combines a turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor, replacing the supercharger from the T6 at the rear, sending a combined 400 hp to all four wheels. The T8 produces 472 lbft and with a 11.
Safety
Standard gear on all S60s includes an improved City Safety collision avoidance system based on Volvo's Vision 2020. The system can now help the driver do an evasive maneuver and can detect and mitigate oncoming vehicles at intersections. An optional Pilot Assist system is equipped into the model.
