Volvo S60 Pros
- Astonishingly handsome styling! The Volvo S60 looks absolutely fabulous
- Solid build quality is very satisfying
- Sweet-looking cabin that’s loaded to the gills with features. Has sufficient room too
- Spectacular Harman Kardon sound system. Easily the best ICE in the segment
- Smooth & peppy 2.0L turbo-petrol engine mated to a competent 8-speed AT
- Sorted ride & handling. The S60's high speed stability is excellent too
- Euro NCAP's 5-star safety rating & loads of tech like adaptive cruise control, pilot assist, lane-keeping aid, collision mitigation support (front) etc.
- Depth of engineering that is as good as the best from Germany
Volvo S60 Cons
- A FWD car in a segment where RWD is the norm
- Power & torque figures are lower than the competition
- No diesel engine on offer with the Volvo S60. Those with high running will look elsewhere
- The rear seat is placed too low, under-thigh support is poor and the floor hump is too big
- The S60 is missing some features like paddle shifters, 360-degree camera, cooled seats...
- Volvo's thin dealer network in India
- To many people, the Volvo brand doesn't have the badge cachet of the German marques
- Not as exhilarating to drive as the BMW 330i which is the segment benchmark
