Three Reasons Why the Volvo S60 Should be Your Next Luxury Car
December 08 2022,
The 2023 Volvo S60 is a stylish luxury sedan that should be on your shopping list because of its advanced powertrains, its many technologies, and its impressive level of safety.
Two powerful and efficient powertrains
The 2023 Volvo S60 stands out in the luxury segment due to its two very advanced hybrid powertrains that combine performance and fuel efficiency. The standard S60 B5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that is combined with a 48-volt battery and a small electric motor. This setup delivers 250 horsepower to either the front wheels or all of the wheels depending if the available all-wheel drive system is selected. Despite the performance afforded by this powertrain, its fuel consumption remains low, at only 9.0 L/100 km in the city and 6.7 L/100 km on the highway. For more performance and even lower fuel consumption, the S60 T8 Recharge adds a larger battery and a supercharger. This brings the total output up to 455 horsepower and drops the fuel consumption down to 7.6 L/100 km due to the 64-kilometre electric range.
All of the features you want
The 2023 Volvo S60 is available with all of the features you want in a luxury car in terms of comfort, convenience, and connectivity. These features include items such as the massaging front seats that are also heated and ventilated, the Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system, the adaptive Öhlins dampers, the automated parking assist, the 360-degree camera system, and the air purifier. Every S60 is also equipped with the advanced Google built-in infotainment system that features the Google Assistant that can answer your questions and control your compatible Google home devices at the sound of your voice.
An impressive level of safety
Like every other Volvo model, the 2023 S60 is one of the safest vehicles in its category due to its many active and passive safety technologies. Standard on every S60 are features such as the whiplash protection system, the rear cross-traffic alert, the blind-spot monitoring system, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning with pedestrian and large animal detection, and the Connected Safety system that can warn you of hazards on the road ahead.
