New 2023 Volvo S60 in Santa Monica

2023 S60 Performance

Let's get into the specifics and talk about whether this is a car that's worth owning. The brand's S90 model may be bigger, but for your money, there is no finer luxury sedan than the Volvo S60 in Santa Monica.

The first thing we want to mention about the Volvo S60 is the vehicle is what's described as a "mild hybrid." It is the turbocharged, 260-horsepower four-cylinder system. In this sense, the vehicle will passively collect the energy produced when you engage your brakes and store it inside of a battery for usage later. This system isn't only powerful. It is efficient as it earns you an EPA-estimated 26 MPG on the streets of Hollywood and 35 on the busy highways in LA.

The 2023 S60 is similar to other Volvo sedans in that it drives incredibly well. It's a smooth ride all the way through, and we don't think anyone will disagree with us there. This is helped by the vehicle's finely-tuned suspension and impressive maneuverability. The sedan's eight-speed Geartronic automatic transmission also effortlessly shifts between gears, allowing drivers of all experience levels to navigate life easily and effectively.

Interior Features We Love

If you're the type of person who needs their vehicles to come jam-packed with all sorts of interior features, we understand. There's nothing worse than seeing a stylish-looking vehicle with tons of performance amenities and then investigating the cabin only to find a wasteland barren of all technological options and standard features. The Volvo S60 avoids this by packing a myriad of interior features.

• A four-zone climate control system
• A panoramic roof to let all the natural light in
• Seats are upholstered with Nappa leather for maximum comfort and breathability
• All sorts of dashing interior accents
• Google connectivity
• An advanced cabin air-purification system

We also wanted to touch briefly on the Bowers & Wilkins audio system. This is one sound system that we've been fully impressed with. Its total depth of sound lets just about any genre shines through its 1,400-watt speakers. Plus, it allows users to switch between four distinct "genre modes" so that whatever you're listening to can be heard with the proper settings. After all, you wouldn't listen to Beethoven with the bass hiked all the way up, right?

Driver Assistance Features

The Volvo S60 has been outfitted with a wide array of driver-assistance features to make it a safer and more usable vehicle. Modern vehicles have been hooked up with all sorts of technology features to make navigating difficult traffic situations an easier experience, and the 2023 model is a prime example of that. The S60 uses a complex system of sensors to help drivers stay aware of their surroundings. It gives drivers a 360-degree view of their world when navigating a tough parking situation or trying to drive in reverse. The S60 also works to keep drivers aware of potential collisions, any blind-spot issues they might have, and more. Navigating LA when roads are busy, or the weather gets dangerous can be tricky -- the S60 aims to make it a little easier.
