How Does the 2019 Volvo S60 Compare to Other Vehicle?
In terms of features, the S60 is well-equipped, especially regarding safety technology. Reliability is a mixed bag, with the S60 sometimes scoring lower than the Japanese competitors (Acura and Lexus). Price-wise, the S60 is generally competitive.
Alternatives to the S60 include the Lexus ES (for greater reliability and comfort), the BMW 3 Series (for sportier driving dynamics), or the Acura TLX (for better value). The Audi A4 is a strong contender offering similar features and performance. Each has its strengths, and the best choice depends on individual priorities.

S60 AWD R DesignThis car is fun to drive, comfortable, pleasing to look at and has quickly made itself my favorite. It has been many years since a car has made me want to go drive it. This one does.

S60 x3This is my 3rd S60 and my 4th Volvo. I keep trying others, this time I test drove the Audi S5, and the Alfa Romeo Giula, but went back to the S60 once more. My wife drive the XC90. WE are definitely Volvo loyalist.

Volvos Ride HardI like this car it handles well but lacks sufficient wheel travel to soak up bumps in the road. In fact, sometimes it really pounds. This model is the S60 R Type and even my 2017 S60 Inscription, took the bumps as hard as this one does. It is just the characteristic of the car's suspension design. But other makes do it much better.
Nice on September 29, 2020
Love it ,Fast,quit, smooth.Everything I was looking for in one car, I previously owned the s-90 which was to big. The s60 R is perfect size, ride and of course the stylish looks that made me by the s-90

New Generation S60 Similar in Size to S80After 4 consecutive Volvo S80 sedans 2000, '05, '10, & '15 I became concerned when I received letter from Volvo announcing the upcoming S90 followed by a larger S60 a year or 2 later. I loved my S80 sedans & when I test drove the S90 I couldn't wait for the new S60 as the S90 was a boat when compared to the discontinued S80. I was able to get a '16 S80 but only with fwd as my '05, '10 & '15 were all T6 AWD sedans. I considered a '16 XC70 T5 AWD as its a S80 wagon but couldn't justify replacing our 3yr old 2013 XC90 with a '16 XC70. When my Syracuse NY Volvo dealer 200mi away called & said they were getting 8 S60 sedans in, they allowed me to reserve 2 of them as they called me before they ordered them to confirm my color preferences. Not having test driven either I was stuck between the R-design pkg & the Inscription pkg both with AWD. I ended up with both as our son graduated with his MBA from SU & we had promised he & his sister a new Volvo upon graduation with their masters. His sister has a 2017 S60 CC, & our son a '19 S60 R-design and I the '19 S60 T6 AWD Inscription. We won't be purchasing any vehicles in the future as I plan to retire 12/2022 after 35yrs in business banking and plan to lease my & my wife's vehicles for the 1st decade until we get to point and no longer need 2 vehicles. I have a 2010 Toyota Tacoma crew cab that was a repo from our retail loan dept with 85Kmi. I bought for the loan balance plus a small fee. I had the local Toyota dealer go through it and provide a estimate for all repairs and 4 new tires for the OEM alloy wheels I bought online @ finishline wheels where I purchase all OEM wheels for our vehicles unless we order the vehicle and can upgrade the wheels for under $1K. ***I love the new gen S60 as much as my S80 sedans but I will drive my '16 S80 as we drove it to Florida in January & are keeping it there in our garage of the winter home we will begin living in 5-6 months/ yr once I retire. My wife wants a convertible for her FL vehicle so we will have to wait and see.

Beats my Mercedes at a lower price!Lots of room, an interior that looks better than My Mercedes and Audi, loads of features and legendary Volvo safety features thousands less than either
JMarkus on February 4, 2020
Fantastic CarI currently have a little over 3k miles on my S60 T5 (Didn't need AWD) R-Design and love it. I STILL look back at my car because the color and styling is so beautiful. Fast, sporty car to drive but since mine was lowered and has the 19' wheels it is stiffer. Still love it and am very happy with my purchase!
Patima on January 12, 2020
The bear car I have ever ownedThe car has great styling and performance. The interior is very comfortable and styling. The leather seats are spectacular and the center console displays well and functions well once you get use to it. The exterior has great and The sporty version I have has great wheels. It’s a beautiful car.
Johnny V on January 2, 2020
I've owned a previous Volvo and now I'm hooked....The last Volvo I owned I loved.... My new Volvo I am so excited about our future... I so look forward to having this car for the next decade or two.
Venus on December 30, 2019
Most comfortable, luxurious car we have ever ownedI have a bad back and it is truly the most comfortable car I have ever driven. I love all of the safety features, technology, and the design. I also love the turbo engine that allows me to get up and go, and the AWD. I feel safe taking my grandchildren in this car.
