2025 Volvo S60 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Volvo S60 is a five-passenger compact luxury sedan. It comes in Core, Plus and Ultra trim levels, and you can upgrade the Ultra with a Black Edition package.

The S60 B5 features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology (247 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The S60 T8 has a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on the B5 engine (455 hp, 523 lb-ft) and offers about 40 miles of electric range before the gas engine turns on to continue the trip. It has the same transmission and standard AWD.

Core
Highlights of the base S60 Core model's standard features include:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats (AWD only)
  • 12.3-inch digital driver display
  • 9-inch touchscreen infotainment display
  • Google built-in with Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play Store
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Advanced driving aids and safety features include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
The Plus builds on the base model's standard equipment with:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Interior air purification system
  • Upgraded interior ambient lighting
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Volvo and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the S60 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Front parking sensors

Ultra
The fully loaded S60 Ultra adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Front seats with power lumbar and thigh supports
  • Passenger seat memory settings
  • Four-zone automatic climate control (B5 only)
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

The optional Black Edition package is exclusive to the S60 Ultra and adds:

  • 19-inch black wheels
  • Black grille emblem
  • Black badging
  • Crystal gearshift
  • Ventilated front seats

The S60 only offers a few other options, including:

  • Climate package
    • Heated front seats (FWD only)
    • Heated rear seats
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Headlight spray cleaners
  • 19-inch wheels (Core and Plus trims only)
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system (Plus trim only)
  • 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system (Ultra trim only)

Which S60 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Volvo charges more than seven grand to upgrade to the plug-in hybrid powertrain, but we think the S60 T8's impressive electric-only driving range and added performance are worth the price. That's why we recommend the S60 T8 Plus. Compared to the base Core trim, the Plus features an upscale interior and more standard driver assistance technologies. Worthy upgrades include metallic paint, 19-inch wheels, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system.
