2016 model year changes
The biggest news for 2016 is the availability of a S60 Cross Country sedan. Previously only available on wagon models, the Cross Country trim lifts the ride height by about two and a half inches, while adding all-wheel drive. This combination gives Volvo a vehicle type that few other companies can boast about having in their lineup: a sedan-style crossover. Plenty of people want a bit more off-road capability and ruggedness in their car but don't necessarily want a station wagon body style. They now have a great reason to be excited over Volvo's new offering.
Competitive comparison
Strong yet economical new 'Drive-E' engines; versatile new V60 sport wagon; beautiful cabin appointments; excellent safety ratings; safety and technology features
Special features for 2016
The 2016 Volvo S60 sedan lineup spans the range from practical, smart luxury sedan to full-fledged luxury sedan; and the svelte V60 follows suit, appealing to active people who need a little more versatility but don't necessarily want an SUV.
With a lineup of 'Drive-E' engines, these cars have become much more attractive to those who want a fuel-efficient luxury car; and with Volvo adding more to the feature set each year, they're better-equipped than most other luxury models for the same money.
The S60 line also has a very strong reputation for safety, with top-tier results from both of the U.S. agencies.
