November 23 2020,
Luxury sedans are losing ground to SUVs, but the current crop of compact luxury cars has never offered more sophisticated, refined and attractive options. Two of these alternatives are the 2021 Volvo S60 and the 2021 Audi A4.
The new 2021 Volvo S60 is more unique and quite simply different. It offers a different approach to luxury and that is part of its charm and appeal. What is also unique about the S60 is its Swedish design and style. With its premium silhouette, the Volvo S60 turns heads and don't be surprised when people ask you what you're driving. The Audi A4 is an attractive sedan but lacks visual differentiation from other sedans. We know her, and we've seen her often.
When it comes to its features, the Volvo S60 includes a user-friendly 8-inch vertical infotainment screen as standard compared to the Audi's 7-inch unit which seems rather glued to the dashboard. The Volvo display is like an iPad with great ease of use and an exceptional design. There are plenty of luxury amenities included, but when it comes to comfort Volvo has long set the bar very high for its rivals.
Its form-fitting seats, adorned with a small Swedish flag, stand out by offering both comfort and support when cornering. Spending several hours straight in the Volvo S60 is a more enjoyable experience than in the Audi A4, and most experts agree.
Performance is also at the advantage of the Volvo S60. The latter offers multiple variations of its highly efficient and powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The T5 produces 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The T6 iterations, which add supercharging, sees its power increase to 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard with the T6 and impressively its base price is similar to the base Audi A4. The latter is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that develops 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft. couple. In other words, the Volvo S60 offers better performance without costing more.
