The Underdog Of The Class? Volvo's 2019 S60 May Be Worthy Of The Title

The Underdog Of The Class? Volvo's 2019 S60 May Be Worthy Of The Title
You might write off the Volvo S60 as another cog in the subdued Swedish machine. Call it a carbon copy of the S90 with XC60 and XC90 powertrain options if you like, but in truth, it’s much more than that. The Volvo S60 is a complete package – it’s the culmination of Volvo’s best elements wrapped up neatly. Compared to the last generation S60, this one offers extra equipment, better tech, hugely improved styling, and even a performance option (not that the old S60 Polestar wasn’t endearing or anything).

Between the scenic views of the Santa Monica coast, where our drive started, and the sleek lines of the S60, there was no shortage of eye-candy on display. The S60 wears the Volvo design language exceptionally well. It's the best application of the family styling to date – more so than the S90, even – and puts the Swede single-handedly at the top of its class visually.

Volvo makes some interesting vehicles - some that are pretty good looking - but they remain a second tier Luxury Brand - but their pricing is too high for it. I do not see the value.

What is wrong with Volvo and their sedans. I've loathed the S90 from the C-pillar back and this one is no better. From the Swedish attempt at the Hofmeister kink back, the two Volvo sedan fail miserably. Those taillights might be the worst abomination for a singular automotive design element, ever. Thankfully Volvo did not try to incorporate this design to their SUVs.

There is a LOT of Dodge Charger in the side styling.
