Volvo S60 model year 2023 - Overview
The Volvo S60 is Volvo’s 4-door mid-size sedan. It is built on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), Volvo’s advanced modular product platform that underpins all Volvos in the 90 and 60 Series.
Like its siblings, the XC60 and the V60, the S60 carries the proud and confident face of Volvo’s design language, along with classic Volvo styling cues. New features include the front bumper design, the emblem integrating the front looking radar, the Dark theme grille design, the rear bumper insert and hidden end pipes, along with several new exterior colours and wheels.
Inside, the S60 has taken cues from the clean, Scandinavian interior design first introduced in the 90 Series cars, raising the bar in the segment with natural materials and exclusive details on the dashboard and instrument panel.
The options include luxurious leather-free interiors and a handcrafted gear shifter in genuine Swedish crystal made exclusively for Volvo Cars by Orrefors.
The new exclusive Tailored Wool Blend upholstery, available in Recharge models, is made from 30 per cent responsibly produced wool and 70 per cent polyester with contrasting white piping, created to optimise the experience of contemporary, sustainable luxury.
The advanced air purifier system prevents up to 95 per cent of hazardous PM 2.5 particles from entering the cabin. No matter the conditions outside, the solution can help occupants enjoy better and healthier air quality, while having the possibility to monitor particle and pollen levels outside the car.
Connectivity and infotainment The Volvo S60 now comes with an infotainment system featuring built-in Google apps and services. Intuitive and convenient, this next generation infotainment system offers customers unprecedented personalisation and an unparalleled connectivity, which is further enhanced through the Digital Services package.
The centrepiece of the Digital Services package is the access to Google apps and services*, which offer hands-free help with Google Assistant, best-in-class navigation through Google Maps and a broad offer of native in-car apps via Google Play.
During model year 2023, the S60 will be enabled to receive larger software and operating system updates over the air.
Powertrain technology The S60 Recharge is powered by our latest generation plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers 350 (T6) or 455hp (T8). It features an 18.8kWh battery pack that extends the pure electric possibilities.
Powered by the 107kW motor, the S60 Recharge T6 and T8 provide up to 94km** (WLTP Combined) of pure electric range – an upgrade that enables more drivers to cover their daily driving needs on electricity.
With One Pedal Drive in the Recharge versions, the driver can use the accelerator both for accelerating and braking the car: press for acceleration and lift the pedal for smooth braking all the way to standstill.
The S60 is also available with a range of 48 Volt mild hybrid variants on both petrol and diesel powertrains. The mild hybrids offer smooth take-offs and up to 15 per cent fuel savings and emission reductions in real-world driving.
More details around the powertrain offer can be found in the technical specifications.
Safety and driver assistance The S60 is equipped with Volvo Cars’ latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) sensor platform – a modern, scalable active safety system that consists of an array of radars, cameras and ultrasonic sensors.
This platform enables the development and deployment of active safety systems, such as the detection of other road users, automatic braking and collision avoidance. Through the Pilot Assist function, it also allows for gentle driver support from standstill up to highway speeds.
