Volvo S60 News

Volvo has issued a recall on certain versions of its S60 sedan due to a faulty oil pressure gauge. The recall affects S60s from the 2011 and 2012 model years, though only those examples equipped with a five-cylinder engine bearing the engine code B5254T5, and manufactured from June 22, 2010 through...

Volvo’s V60 wagon which goes on sale across the country this month has been priced from $36,215, including $915 in destination fees. The vehicle has been on sale overseas for several years but was recently updated and now finally in local showrooms. The good news is that a high-performance...

Swedish motorsport and engineering firm Polestar is slowly establishing itself as the official performance arm of Volvo, starting off with running the automaker’s motorsport program and more recently dabbling in the world of tuning Volvo road cars. Polestar first launched a hotted-up C30...

Volvo has started production of a new long-wheelbase S60, aptly named the S60L, but unfortunately the car will be limited to the Chinese market, as is the case for many of the smaller long-wheelbase sedans. Production is taking place at Volvo’s new plant in Chengdu, China. The S60L...

In mid-2012, normally-conservative Volvo unveiled an S60-based concept, built with tuning partner Polestar, that was anything but ordinary. Boasting some 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 3.0-liter six, the car was a slap in the face of convention. Initially, it was...

The 2015 Volvo V60 wagon that goes on sale in January will offer one of the automaker’s new Drive-E four-cylinder engines. Drive-E is the name for Volvo’s next generation of engines, which consist of gasoline and diesel units and include power-boosting technologies such as direct fuel...

While Volvo's range of vehicles does get a range of minor dress-up updates for 2014, the bulk of the range remains essentially the same as last year. Accordingly, the pricing remains much the same as last year, with the 2014 S60's base price rising $500, from $31,900 to $32,400, to cover the...

Following initial reports a week ago, Volvo has now formally announced its participation in the exciting touring car series that is V8 Supercars. Raced primarily in Australia but with a handful of races held overseas, including one in the U.S., V8 Supercars pits family sedans turned race cars in...

Sure, hybrids don't have the greatest reputation for driving appeal. But would you feel better about saving gasoline if you knew that the hybrid system in your car used Formula One technology? That's just what Volvo has done in an engineering prototype it's now testing in Sweden, which adds an...

Volvo has been teasing the world with its various Polestar concepts for some time now. We finally got word that the S60 Polestar was ready for production, and the limited edition vehicle is finally set for sale in Australia. Now, that's not exactly exciting news for those of us based here in the...

Volvo motorsport partner Polestar has recently dabbled in the world of tuning road cars, originally starting with a C30 concept back in 2010 and then unleashing the 508-horsepower S60 concept on the world just last year. Along the way, Polestar started selling dealer-installed ECU tuning software...

Once, Volvo wagons roamed the U.S. landscape, shuttling families to and from soccer practice and Boy Scout meetings in the days before SUVs and crossovers. Volvo even managed to carve out a niche in the performance wagon segment with its Volvo Turbo Wagon, boasting that until Ferrari built a wagon...

Though it might not immediately pop to mind the way some German and even American sport sedans do when you're thinking of a fast, luxurious, relatively affordable ride, the Volvo S60 has long been one of our favorites. It's not the fastest, but it's one of the best all-arounders on the market. For...

If you live in the city, chances are good you don’t use your high beams much for night driving, since you’re rarely in an environment where they can be employed without distracting other drivers. If you live in the country, on the other hand, high beams provide a welcome margin of...

This week Volvo announced a series of updates across most of its 2014 model range, with only the discontinued C30 and soon-to-be-replaced XC90 remaining unchanged for the new model year. That means updated versions of the S60 and S80 sedans as well as updated versions of their respective XC60 and...

Volvos have a long-standing reputation as safe, practical and somewhat boring cars, with the possible exception of the old Volvo Turbo wagons. Sure, the S60 T6 R-Design sedan does what it can to liven things up, but its turbocharged 3.0-liter in-line six only puts out 325 horsepower, to all four...

Volvo used this week’s 2013 Consumer Electronics Show to unveil a new retrofit touch-screen interface for its S60 sedan and XC60 crossover, as well as the V60 wagon sold overseas. The new unit has been developed together with tech companies Ericsson and Parrot, and will be offered through...

We’ll admit to being fans of the Volvo S60 T6 R-Design sedan, as it’s a near-ideal blend of performance and comfort. As much as we like the car, however, it’s Volvo’s uber-sexy S60 Polestar concept that we’d rather have parked on our garage. Rumor had it that Volvo was...

Volvo will be presenting its 508-horsepower S60 Polestar concept car at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show next week, though the company is still no closer to announcing production plans. Of course, if you’re happy to fork over roughly $300,000, motorsport and engineering firm Polestar will...

It's often hard to get excited about hybrid cars these days. The new sheen of the technology itself has worn off, leaving behind the dull and often tarnished statistics about gas mileage and savings--neglecting, of course, the purchase price penalty. But in the case of Volvo's V60 Diesel Plug-in...
