Volvo S60 (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Restrained and classy design inside and out	No diesel option
Smart hybrid tech	Rear-seat space a little tight
Comfortable seats	Relatively pricey

Quick Summary

The Volvo S60 (2019-present) is a compact premium saloon that rivals the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Built on a new Scalable Product Architecture platform, this third-generation model offers significant dynamic improvements over its predecessor. The S60 impresses with its restrained and classy design, both inside and out, featuring an elegant interior with supportive seats and premium materials. Standard equipment is extensive, including dual-zone climate control, heated seats, a 12.3-inch driver's display, and the nine-inch touchscreen Sensus infotainment system with satnav. Safety is a key strength, with the S60 achieving a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating.

The S60 is available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol T5 engine producing 247bhp, or a T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid combining petrol and electric power for excellent performance and efficiency. Whilst the steering is accurate and the car generally composed, it lacks the outright driving engagement of rear-wheel-drive rivals. Running costs are moderate, with the T5 achieving around 41.5mpg, though the absence of a diesel option is notable. The T8 plug-in hybrid offers impressive efficiency on paper, with claimed emissions as low as 40g/km, though real-world figures depend on driving habits and battery charging. Servicing costs are reasonable for a premium saloon, with annual services starting from £255.

Best for: Buyers seeking a refined, safe, and well-equipped premium saloon with smart hybrid technology and elegant design, particularly those unconcerned about diesel options.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising rear-seat space, those seeking diesel efficiency, budget-conscious buyers, or keen drivers wanting engaging handling comparable to rear-wheel-drive rivals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the S60 if: You seek a refined, safe, and well-equipped premium saloon with smart hybrid technology and elegant design, particularly if unconcerned about diesel options.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise rear-seat space, require diesel efficiency, are budget-conscious, or want engaging handling comparable to rear-wheel-drive rivals.

Competitive Position: The Volvo S60 (2019-present) is a capable and well-appointed premium saloon that competes credibly against established rivals. However, it faces stiff competition from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, which all score higher on CarGurus ratings and offer better value propositions. Whilst the S60 excels in refinement, safety and equipment, its lack of diesel options, tighter rear-seat space and relatively premium pricing make it a less compelling choice for many buyers. The BMW 3 Series remains the benchmark in the segment, whilst the Mercedes and Audi offer superior value. The S60 is best suited to those prioritising Scandinavian design elegance and hybrid technology over traditional German engineering appeal.
