2023 Volvo S60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Volvo S60’s biggest change is a mild styling refresh with a revised grille and rear bumper. It also gets a Google-based touchscreen system across the lineup and a new three-tier equipment structure, but it is not a full redesign.
About the 2023 Volvo S60
3rd generation (2019-2025), mid-cycle refresh year
Volvo positions the S60 as a compact luxury sedan centered on Scandinavian design, supportive seating, safety technology, and calm everyday comfort. It is less focused on sharp cornering than several German rivals, instead emphasizing an uncluttered cabin and an easygoing ride. B5 models serve conventional luxury-sedan use, while Recharge models add electric driving without changing the S60’s understated character.
The 2023 S60 lineup starts with models featuring a panoramic roof and digital instruments, while midlevel versions add leather, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and a 360-degree camera. Higher-equipped versions feature Harman Kardon audio and a head-up display, while the plug-in-hybrid Polestar Engineered model stands apart with specialized Öhlins dampers and Brembo front brakes.
