2017 Volvo S60

Review

2017 Volvo S60 is no exception. It also offers a nice ride and powerful engines.Now in its fourth model year since its last major update, the 2017 Volvo S60 receives only minor changes. Despite its age, the S60 continues to be a relevant player in the small luxury sedan segment. Its gutsy powertrains have made a strong impression, and last year's introduction of the long-wheelbase Inscription version gave the S60 lineup's viability a shot in the arm.

Interior

The 2017 Volvo S60's cabin a unique personality among its rivals, even if it is starting to look its age.

But there's no denying that the interior leather, vinyl and plastic are quality materials. Dual temperature adjustment knobs and "mode man" pictograms make climate control adjustments simple and intuitive.The Volvo's controls can be operated without looking. Programming the optional navigation system or controlling more complicated vehicle functions, the S60 relies on the standard Sensus system. As is typical among Volvos, the front seats (Comfort, Contour or Sport) offer proper support and outstanding comfort on long trips. In the backseat, the S60 isn't quite as accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but space is at a premium — legroom and footroom are tight for folks taller than 5 feet, 10 inches. Both the rear seats fold down, and there's a separate pass-through for skis.The S60 comes with a raft of standard safety features that include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and whiplash-reducing front head restraints.

Exterior

The car can have a rugged Cross Country look and are fitted with fender, the latest grille, new bumper and hood, a whole new cover in addition to striking LED headlights. This new vehicle boasts 2.5 inches of increased ride height. The wheels can be found in 18 and 19-inch variants and possess high profile tires.

Driving

The 2017 Volvo S60 is a comfortable and cooperative luxury sedan with ample oomph under the hood, especially in T6 AWD R-Design guise. Despite packing both a supercharger and a turbocharger, it's always well-mannered.The all-wheel-drive system effectively apportions power to individual wheels to maximize traction around turns or on slippery roads.

One thing the S60 is not is a true sport sedan. Instead, it takes a balanced approach to sport and comfort. It's sporty enough not to be a complete wet blanket on a winding mountain road, yet it's also smooth and quiet enough for easy everyday commuting. Testing, a front-wheel-drive Volvo S60 with this engine accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is a slower than average time for a small luxury sedan with an upgraded engine.
