2022 Volvo S60

Other brands have caught up, but Volvo maintains its deserved reputation for safety innovation and quality fit and finish. Volvos also stand out for its attractive exterior styling and for having some of the nicest interiors in the industry, with especially comfortable seats. The brand’s XC line of SUVs range from compact and two-row to midsized and three-row. Volvo also sells sedans and station wagons, along with several EVs, ranging from small to large. Most of Volvo’s new cars scored average or below-average in our reliability rankings, and the infotainment systems on many models are less intuitive than what you’ll find in competitors’ cars. Our testers have also found that Volvos aren’t great at absorbing bumps, and have average fuel economy. Among used Volvos, some models have proven to be reliable enough to earn our recommendation.

The redesigned 2019 S60 sedan is quiet, has an uncluttered and elegant interior, and comfortable seats. The T5 uses an energetic 250-hp, turbo four-cylinder engine that drives the front wheels. This combination returned 26 mpg overall in our tests. The T6 brings all-wheel drive, plus a more powerful 316-hp four-cylinder that is both turbocharged and supercharged. In typical Volvo fashion, the ride is stiff. Handling is sound but unexceptional. Unfortunately, the S60 is plagued with Volvo's unintuitive infotainment system, which requires too much swiping, tapping and eyes off the road. The S60 comes standard with automatic emergency braking with the ability to recognize and respond to pedestrians and cyclists. Updates for 2021 include standard blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning. For 2022, there is only one engine, a 247 hp 2.0-liter turbo employing mild hybrid technology. 2025 is the final model year for the S60 sedan.
