Volvo Cars is a Swedish multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Torslanda, Gothenburg. The company manufactures SUVs, station wagons, and sedans. The company's main marketing arguments are safety and its Swedish heritage and design.

What is the 2025 Volvo S60

The 2025 Volvo S60 is a compact/midsize sedan — a refined, premium sedan designed to blend comfort, practicality, and modern technology. 

It seats five people and offers a reasonably sized trunk — suitable for everyday commuting, family use, or typical sedan-style driving. 

There are multiple drivetrain options, from a mild-hybrid turbocharged engine to a plug-in hybrid setup — giving buyers flexibility depending on their priorities (fuel economy vs performance/efficiency). 

Engine / Drivetrain Options & Performance

Base / Mild-Hybrid (B5 / B4): Uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (with mild-hybrid assist). Output for B5 is 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. 

Drive layout: depending on trim, front-wheel drive (FWD) or available all-wheel drive (AWD). 

Plug-In Hybrid (T8 / Recharge): Combines the turbo 4-cylinder with an electric motor — total combined output is about 455 horsepower (with a strong combined torque output) and with AWD. 

Transmission for all versions: 8-speed automatic. 

Performance trade-offs: Base/mild-hybrid versions deliver smooth, efficient everyday driving; the plug-in hybrid delivers much stronger performance + the potential for electric-only commuting (for short range) when the battery is charged. 

Fuel Efficiency & Efficiency / Emissions

For the mild-hybrid (gas + hybrid assist) S60 (FWD), fuel-economy ratings are reasonably efficient for a sedan of its type (gas-plus-turbo). 

For the plug-in hybrid version: has an electric-only range (for shorter trips) plus hybrid-gasoline versatility — useful if you do a mix of city commuting and longer drives. 

The hybrid/mild-hybrid variants also tend to be more efficient compared to older purely gasoline, non-hybrid sedans — a good balance of performance and economy for those who don’t need full EV battery charging infrastructure.

Interior, Comfort & Features

The S60 has a premium-leaning cabin for a sedan: well-finished interiors, available nice upholstery and trim levels depending on your trim choice. 

Features across trim levels include standard and optional amenities such as a digital instrument display, touchscreen infotainment / connectivity, safety & driver-assist technologies, comfort options (power seats, climate control), etc. 

The sedan layout gives it reasonable practicality: good space for front and rear occupants, and a trunk large enough for everyday use — making it a credible choice for commuting, family errands, or moderate travel. 

Pros — What the 2025 S60 Does Well

Flexibility: With multiple drivetrain options (mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, AWD/FWD) — you can tailor the car to maximise efficiency or performance depending on your needs.

Balanced power and comfort: Even base/mid trims offer enough performance and smoothness for everyday use; plug-in hybrid gives stronger power and versatility.

Premium feel without going full luxury-car price: The S60 cabin, trim levels, and features give a sense of refinement beyond typical economy sedans.

Practical enough for daily life: A five-seat interior and usable trunk space make it practical for commuting, family use, or regular errands.

Emissions/efficiency benefits (for mild-hybrid or plug-in) — good for buyers conscious of fuel costs or environment, especially compared with older non-hybrid sedans.

Trade-offs & What to Consider

Not a large SUV or big-car — if you need third-row seating, large cargo, or max versatility, S60 will be limiting compared to SUVs or larger cars.

Even with hybrid/p-in-hybrid versions, range for purely electric driving (on plug-in) is limited — so long trips will still rely on gasoline/hybrid mode.

Cost & options matter: to get the most premium trim-level experience (comfort, AWD, features) you’ll likely pay significantly more than base trim — which means you need to judge if the upgrades are worth it.

Compared to full-EVs: despite hybrid/plug-in offerings, the S60 remains a gasoline/hybrid sedan — so you don’t get full EV benefits (battery-only range, zero tailpipe emissions) unless you commit to plug-in with frequent charging.

As with any premium sedan: maintenance, insurance, and running costs may be higher than simpler economy cars — something to budget for if you want long-term ownership.

Who the 2025 S60 Is Best For

The 2025 Volvo S60 is a good match for people who:

Want a refined sedan with premium touches, comfort and versatility, but don’t need an SUV’s size or bulk.

Value flexibility — perhaps a plug-in hybrid to save on fuel for daily commuting, with the option to switch to gas/hybrid for longer trips.

Appreciate a balance of comfort, performance and practicality, rather than extremes (neither basic economy nor top-tier luxury).

Live in suburban or urban environments but still want enough performance and refinement for highway trips or variable driving conditions.

Prefer a sensible but slightly upscale car — good for commuting, family use, or long-term daily driving without overspending on size/features you don’t need.

Bottom line: The 2025 Volvo S60 remains a very competent, flexible sedan: combining modern engine/hybrid technology, comfortable and premium-feel interior, and a balance between practicality and performance. It’s especially appealing if you want something more refined than a basic sedan — but more manageable than a large SUV.

Product Reviews:


I visited Volvo of Dallas who I called several times over a 1 year period and asked about the recalls since my car has been dying when I make sharper turns and it acts like it's going to flood out while accelerating. I have 2 small children and I would bet I have the most "unsafe" vehicle on the road. After I paid the dealership, they kept my car for a week with no diagnosis and wanted me to pay another 300 to keep it another week.I bought my car in late 2005 and it's a 2004 v70 with 1100 miles at the time. It has about 92k miles now and the plastic part of the door is peeling off, the stirring wheel has melted over the years and the most important issues are the safety issues I mentioned above. I used to love Volvo and I would not recommend a Volvo to my worst enemy today. I am going to pay thousands of dollars to replace my CAT converter and I've always changed my oil and had tune ups. I am disappointed in the service as well as the product.

This has been the bane of my existence for numerous months now (5 months to be exact)... My 2007 S40 Volvo with 60K miles will not pass the smog check. I've been back to my smog guy 6 times, had my car towed for too many parking tickets due to no registration. Paid over $1600 in fees, called Volvo numerous times, the Volvo dealership nearest me, my Volvo mechanic... etc. and I've driven over 1200 miles. Apparently because I changed my battery a few weeks before the smog check, I have to just keep 'driving' my car (illegally I might add). Well... I have driven and driven and driven and still not passing. No help from Volvo.

This new Volvo is a real success and is very advanced (re. media, etc). It reads your SMS f.i., but DOES NOT WARN YOU when you will be out of petrol. I am expecting an alert (sound, flashing sign, or...), but this car has none of this. The very small petrol pump (invisible on the dashboard) turn orange, that is all. As a result, I got stuck 6 time in 15000 km including on motorways, costly and humiliating experience. I wrote to Volvo Sweden, but did not get even a receipt, and the garage told me this is like this and Gutbrod has NO plan so far to add an alert, which you would find on a DAF in 1980! I am disgusted!

I recently drove a Volvo V90; it is quiet, easy to manage on a road or highway; enjoyable to drive. My only concern is that, since Volvo is now Chinese owned (again, Chinese owned), I am not certain they can be trusted to honor warranty issues. I brought this up with the manager and he laughed and said 'If you're talking about Covid-19 and its relationship to the quality of this car and whether a warranty on it will be honored, it is a moot issue.' I am not convinced and really didn't even have the question addressed. As a result, I moved on and bought a good Japanese Acura RDX. It is an excellent, upscale, mid-sized SUV.

S60 - A SAFE CAR, that is comfortable to ride in, does highways well, and you don't hear about VOLVO having recalls for mechanical or air bag defects! Also good service experience, so they keep the car in tip top shape.

I have been a loyal Volvo customer for the past nine years. My first Volvo was a S80 T6. Then, when it debuted in 2004, I upgraded to the new XC90 SUV. Some time later, I purchased the S60 R 2005 (VIN#..) which I still own. Once the new V8 XC90 was released, I parted with the 2004, and bought the 2007 XC90 V8 (VIN#..). Like the S60 R 2005, I still own it.Unfortunately, I've had many issues with my vehicles that make my relationship with Volvo one that is bitter-sweet. Still, I love them immensely despite the constant frustration they caused me but like any love that is abused, it can change and subsequently turned to anger and feelings of betrayal! All the aforementioned products have, in my opinion, not performed well!With the 2002 S80 T6: I had to replace the timing belt during the first year; it was fortunately covered under warranty!!! With the 2004 XC90 2004: the transmission was replaced, again during the first year and fortunately again, under warranty. They notified me at the time there was an issue with that model. Any company with due diligence knowing this should have announced a re-call to fix the issue at hand.Regarding the 2007 XC90 V8: In 2010, after just three years of ownership, the power steering pump started leaking in addition to the fuel pump needing to be replaced. Additionally, many interior trim components failed in the first and second year of ownership. Despite my belief that Volvo is a quality brand (hence the reason I still own them), my faith in, and loyalty to Volvo in general, is being tested and may be showing signs of faltering! I am sure you can understand this feeling, given the enormous amount of major/catastrophic issues I've experienced with my vehicles. The major issues alone, such as the power steering pump, leaking transmission, and failed timing belt (During the first year?) not to mention, the fuel pump in my opinion is ridiculous to the point of being absurd! I believe any reasonable consumer would at least begin to question the reliability and quality of any vehicle much less one that rests in the price range and purports the image of "High-End Quality" that Volvo, to this point enjoys! Unequivocally, none of the components highlighted in my opinion should have failed at their respective time periods and this is despite my meticulous maintenance and appropriate driving standard! People, I don't even take the XC90 off-road!One year ago (late 2009), the transmission in my 2007 XC90 malfunctioned and was again, fortunately, replaced under warranty. People are you with me? That is the second 1-year-old Volvo I've had to replace the transmission! Wait, it gets better! Exactly one year later, the now 1-year-old replacement transmission in a 2-year-old car began leaking from the transmission seals. I went to the Volvo agency here (of which there is a monopoly) and they stated that the agency was owned by another company when the transmission was replaced and the new ownership/management was not responsible for the replacement of the transmission. Note that they still have the same technicians and staff operating the dealership, only the ownership and company name was changed. They further stated that the new owners are not responsible for any of the parts replaced by the previous owners. I was under the obviously mistaken impression that an official Volvo Agency was responsible for all issues regarding Volvo! Am I or are they mistaken?

Lately, my VOLVO 2004 XC70 cross county Station Wagon the Low Beam Light not Working and also I need to have a change oil for yearly Services. But before I make an appointment to the Volvo Service, I make sure to check my car the Low Beam. I change both bulb to a new purchased and working bulb. The one on the left did not work. So possible just a fuse. I check the below base of the car and "no" leak at all, as usual I do before the change Oil appointment. After I made an appointment, the VOLVO advisor recommend me to have a total check for the 90K so easy to know whatever to be recommend for the car. I received a call after an hour and told me that there is leaking in the car and the crompton leak need to be fix and cost me $1400.00. So I told them I just need the change oil and fix the bulb, and even told them that before I went to them, there is no leaking before I sent for service. After the service, I went home and see again below the car and has no leaking. The following day upon I start my car in my car garage and back off, I see drops of oil in the floor. I know this will happen by denying their recommendation. See How this Dealer are doing instead of helping the consumers, instead just for their commission and continue to fool they keep in recommending such unworthless info. I am not telling all of these Advisors. My Mercedes Benz just happen I have a good Dealer Advisor who help us a lot by not making us fool.

The volume of service issues with this car (2016 XC90) is incredible. I am working to have all of my service records released and then will post them for proof. Issues are as follows: On 10 hour trip - autopilot cut out - this is a charged accessory upgrade. On a 5 hour trip - autopilot unavailable again. On a 5 hour trip returning home and ALL audio shuts off. Navigation was not communicating so it was then noticed that no music, not turn signal noise, no locking noise, no nothing. Coolant light came on - refilled after FINALLY finding someone who could tell me where to locate. Came on again. Dealer said they have noticed this issue a few times... Hose is clamped too tight from factory and needs replaced.

Having owned a Volvo tractor truck for 4 years, I can honestly say I will never own another. Bill Gates could take lessons from Volvo on dedicated parts. Everything on a Volvo is complicated and outrageously expensive. For example I offer: The left wiper arm mount rusted and the entire apparatus had to be replaced- $775.00. A door hinge broke and an entire panel had to be replaced along with the hinge- $680.00. The interior cabinet doors have such a complicated latch I finally removed all the hardware, drilled holes and put simple knobs I bought at Lowes for $1.24. But the hinges on those doors have 6 parts and cost $60.00. Just to change a fuse you have to tear open the top of the dashboard. Do yourself a favor, don't buy a Volvo anything.

To start I bought the xc60 based on all the research and feedback I got from people who had/have experienced Volvo and other consumer reports for its safety. All I ever heard was how long they last and how they are a very reliable brand. Unfortunately I have had less than that experience and so far the service at the dealership has to date "put a nail in the coffin" so to speak. I should begin with the oil consumption problem, which btw Volvo is fully aware of. After multiple trips back and forth to the dealer, specific testing done on the car with test results that were sent directly to Volvo themselves for a diagnosis! They offered to correct the problem and replace the parts in the engine in order for it to run and consume oil and fuel properly. Amongst many other trivial issues such as alignment, vent issues and speaker problems, the oil consumption problem is my biggest concern. I have two beautiful children I drive around in that vehicle! The first time I had an issue the car was almost completely out of oil! What if the engine seized? I spent thousands on the car which btw I bought brand new! It doesn't have much time left on its warranty and I contacted Volvo to extend the warranty solely on the new parts they replaced due to the issue. Nothing less, nothing more! They denied my request and I am beyond frustrated! So dissatisfied by this purchase!
