The 2025 Volvo S60 marks the final year for this generation of Volvo‘s compact luxury sedan in the United States. As Volvo shifts its focus towards electrification, the S60 sees minimal changes for its farewell year but remains a compelling option in the competitive luxury sedan segment.

Key Features and Updates

• The S60 will only be available as a plug-in hybrid model, now called the T8 AWD plug-in hybrid instead of “Recharge”
• Trim levels have been simplified to Core, Plus, and Ultra (replacing Ultimate)
• Limited color options: Crystal White, Onyx Black, and Vapour Grey for the Core trim
• Interior choices reduced, with black leatherette as the primary option
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now standard across all trims

Performance

The 2025 S60 T8 AWD plug-in hybrid combines a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, producing a total system output of 455 horsepower. This powertrain provides impressive acceleration while offering an estimated electric-only range of over 40 miles on the WLTP cycle.

Interior and Technology

While the interior design remains largely unchanged, the S60 continues to offer a clean, Scandinavian-inspired cabin. The 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system now features wireless smartphone integration, enhancing convenience for users. The simplified trim structure means some premium features may be more widely available across the range.

Safety

As expected from Volvo, the 2025 S60 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including City Safety collision avoidance technology, Lane Keeping Aid, and Run-off Road Mitigation.

Conclusion

The 2025 Volvo S60 may be in its twilight years, but it still offers a unique blend of Swedish design, advanced safety features, and efficient plug-in hybrid technology. For buyers seeking a luxury sedan with a focus on comfort and sustainability, the S60 remains a worthy contender in its final year of production.
