Inspired Driving

Distinctive details enhance the powerful character of the S60 and identify it as one of the new generation of Volvo cars. The prominent front grille wears its Volvo emblem proudly, while the long bonnet and deep front bumper express power. Full LED headlights with Volvo Cars’ unique T-shaped light signature create an unmistakable presence, day or night. At the rear, the boot edge kicks upwards for a sportier attitude and better aerodynamics at speed.

The S60 offers a choice of drive modes, so you can tailor the driving experience to your journey or your mood. There are three default settings for the engine, automatic gearbox, steering, brakes and stability control system that put the focus on dynamic driving, comfort or fuel economy and emissions. Or you can create your own combination with Individual mode.

The S60 is tailored for a spirited drive. The sleek centre display with touch screen is your intuitive command centre, while unique air vents have slender, metal-finished controls with diamond-pattern finishes. The same finish is used for the starter knob, driving mode controller and steering wheel controls. R-Design trim highlights the athletic nature of the car, with Metal Mesh Aluminium décor panels and contrast stitching for the seats, tunnel console, doors and gearshift gaiter. Inscription trim includes decor panels in Driftwood, a unique wood treatment.

A centre display with touch screen is at the heart of the effortless way that you connect with the S60. It has a portrait format that makes reading information easy and reduces scrolling, while the 9-inch screen has a special non-reflective coating and is so responsive you can even use it while wearing gloves.

The optional panoramic roof available for the S60 bathes the interior in natural light. It’s large enough that those in both the front and rear seats can benefit from it, while special tinted glass reduces unwanted heat and UV radiation. It features a power-operated sunshade that makes it easy to keep strong light out if necessary, while the front part of the roof can be tilted or opened to provide extra ventilation.

Pilot Assist is a support function that helps make driving in heavy traffic less tiring. This semi-autonomous drive feature builds on the active cruise control function – so as well as keeping a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, it also uses steering inputs to keep you in the centre of your lane. Pilot Assist works at speeds up to 130km/h, helping to reduce the effort required when driving on busy highways.

City Safety is a Volvo Cars innovation that helps to protect people inside and outside the S60 by spotting potential danger and helping you avoid it. Radar and camera technology identifies other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead, day or night. City Safety warns you if it detects an imminent collision and, if you don’t react in time, it can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In the S60, City Safety also includes Steering Support, which helps you to steer away from danger as effectively and safely as possible.

*Please note: the driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, the functions described here are only supportive. 

Give the S60 your own look. For an even more purposeful presence, add an exterior styling kit that includes front and rear splitters, sill mouldings, a rear diffuser and integrated split tail pipes that create a powerful impression.

Optional alloy wheels enhance the car’s spirited character.
