The S60 is Volvo's stylish premium compact sedan. It's positioned below the larger S90 sedan. For 2022, Volvo added a mild hybrid system to the base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The new designation for the engine is B5 (it was formally T5). The supercharged and turbocharged T6 engine is no longer available, but the top plug-in hybrid Recharge T8 engine is still an option. • The range-topping Polestar Engineered model is only available with the Recharge T8 powertrain. It's the S60's performance model that comes equipped with Öhlins suspension, forged wheels, and Brembo brakes. • The Swedish sedan might not sell as well as some of its competition — which includes the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class — but the S60 still has a lot to offer in terms of advanced driver aids and style. In addition, the S60 provides a comfortable ride thanks to its superb seat comfort, handles like a true sports sedan, and has excellent build quality. • Acceleration is the big reason to get the Recharge. Our test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, which is a quick time for a small luxury sedan. My enthusiasm was somewhat dampened by the lack of a thrilling noise to accompany the speed, but this plug-in is as plucky as advertised. The power transition from electric to gasoline and back again is smooth and unobtrusive. • • I was less impressed with the brakes. They provide little to no feedback, which can make it hard to consistently stop smoothly. Emergency braking performance in testing was also lame. The one-pedal driving mode, which allows you to come to a stop solely using regenerative braking, is a nice convenience and neat trick to accrue more EV power, but I would trade that for better brake pedal feeling any day. At almost 4,500 pounds, this is a heavy sedan and you feel it from time to time. • As we all know comfort-wise, Volvo is known for its supremely comfortable seats, and those inside the S60 don't disappoint. The front seats also offer lots of adjustabilities. I also like the S60's ride — the suspension smooths out bumps and cracks quickly and the S60 remains composed even over undulating surfaces. The cabin is also very quiet, especially when you're using partial or fully electric power. • • The climate control system, however, could be easier to use. It requires diving into the confusing touchscreen interface, and it needs consistent readjusting to reach your desired temperature which I thought was a pain in the bum, you know whata mean guys. • • Moving on to the interior, The S60 might be my pick for the best small luxury sedan with a better user interface. Instead, the confusing mix of hard buttons and screen-scrolling leaves me wanting something more intuitive. It's a shame because an excellent range of adjustability in both front seats, coupled with stellar outward visibility, makes the cabin a truly comfortable place. • • The S60 has good-size door cut outs that enable passengers to get in and out without too much bending. But the S60 sits low, so taller folks might have to drop down some to get into their seats. Once inside, there is good space all around in the front. I'm small, so the back seat is roomy for people like me, those over 6 feet I don't think it'll be quite so comfortable sitting back there on longer journeys. • #Volvo #auto_tip_off #at_newsauto_cars • ⏰ Timecodes⏰ • 00:00 Intro • 00:54 Volvo S60 T8 plug-in hybrid • 01:43 What’s the S60 like to drive • 02:56 Comfort • 03:49 Interior • ✅ Source: Volvo • Leave your thoughts below! • _____________________________________________ • 💕 🚗Subscribe and Press the (🔔) to Get Notifications🚙 💕 • / autotipoff • ►🚗 Various Playlists Based on the Brand🚐 • / autotipoff • 🚙Auto Tip Off is your YouTube channel for getting news and facts about every new vehicle introduced throughout the world.
