Product Overview

Volvo S60 II facelift is a premium compact executive sedan in production from 2013 to 2018. It is available with a wide range of inline-4, inline-5, and inline-6 engines that displace from 1.5L to 3.0L.
Prior to 2017, the most interesting model was undoubtedly the turbocharged inline-6 found in the Polestar model with around 350hp and 500Nm of output. This was the highest power level in Volvo's unique transversely-mounted I6 before its discontinuation.
After 2017, this engine was replaced by the much smaller turbo- and super-charged I4.
It was also one of the last widely-available vehicle with inline-5 engines.
Volvo has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Volvo S60 II facelift uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
