Hot on the heels of the S60’s unveiling, Volvo has
confirmed the model will be priced from US$ 35,800 in the United States. The
entry-level S60 T5 FWD Momentum features LED headlights, a panoramic moonroof
and 18-inch alloy wheels. The model also comes equipped with a dual-zone automatic
climate control system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and power front seats
with a memory function. Other highlights include aluminum interior trim and a
Sensus Connect infotainment system.
Moving up to the S60 T5 FWD R-Design costs US$ 41,900
but it adds sportier styling details including gloss black accents on the
grille, mirrors and window trim. The variant also has nappa leather sport
seats, a unique shifter and a perforated leather steering wheel with paddle
shifters.
The S60 T5 FWD Inscription costs US$ 42,900 and it
features bright chrome trim on the grille and window surrounds. Bigger changes
occur in the cabin as drivers will find driftwood trim, a four-zone automatic
climate control system and power front seats with lumbar support as well as power
extensions.
Motivation is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine that produces 250 hp and 349
Nm of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission enables
the model to have an EPA-estimated fuel economy 24 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and
28 mpg combined. Buyers wanting all-wheel drive and more power can opt for the
S60 T6 AWD. It starts at US$ 40,300 in Momentum trim, US$ 45,400 in R-Design guise
and US$ 47,400 in the luxury-oriented Inscription spec.
While the model costs an additional US$ 4,500 it
rewards buyers with a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine producing 316 hp and 399 Nm of torque. It
also has the added benefit of a standard all-wheel drive system.
Those seeking the ultimate in performance will need
to order the S60 T8 Twin Engine Plug-In Hybrid eAWD. The model is only
available in R-Design and Inscription trims which cost US$ 54,400 and US$ 55,400.
Power comes from a turbocharged and supercharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as well as a rear electric motor. This setup
enables the sedan to produce a combined output of 400 hp and 639 Nm of torque.
Prices exclude a US$ 995 destination charge and Volvo
has already launched a configurator on its American website. The S60 will also
be available with a subscription that promises to “make having a car as easy as
having a cell phone.” That seems doubtful as Care by Volvo has been an
unmitigated disaster in the United States.
Customers who are unafraid of potential problems can
get a S60 T6 AWD Momentum for US$ 775 per month. The model comes nicely equipped
with linear lime wood trim as well as the premium and multimedia packages.
Buyers looking for something sportier can opt for
the S60 T6 AWD R-Design which costs US$ 850 per month. The S60 T8 eAWD Polestar
Engineered will also be available through the subscription service but pricing
hasn’t been released.
Each subscription includes insurance, factory
scheduled maintenance, wear-and-tear replacements and a 15,000 mile (24,140 km)
driving allowance every year. The subscription lasts 24 months but customers
will have the option of changing vehicles and starting a new subscription after
just 12 months.
Customers can order and subscribe to the S60
starting today, while the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered subscription will become
available on June 28th. Customers who purchase or lease their cars can expect
deliveries to occur in the fourth quarter of 2018.
