2025 Volvo S60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Volvo S60 is simpler lineup naming: the top equipment level became Ultra, and Recharge plug-in hybrids became T8 AWD plug-in hybrids. This was otherwise a light trim update with no major mechanical changes, and it was the S60’s final US model year.
About the 2025 Volvo S60
3rd generation (2019-2025), final US model year
Volvo presents the S60 as a comfortable, safety-focused luxury sport sedan with clean Scandinavian design and an easygoing driving character. Its strengths are supportive seating, a calm cabin, extensive collision-avoidance technology, and a choice between an efficient mild-hybrid powertrain and a powerful plug-in hybrid capable of many daily trips on electricity. It favors everyday comfort and understated style over aggressive sports-sedan behavior.
The 2025 S60 ranges from the straightforward B5 Core mild hybrid to Plus and Ultra versions with features such as adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, premium audio, and a head-up display. The 455-hp T8 models add plug-in-hybrid power, AWD, and an EPA-estimated 41 miles of electric range. Ultra Black Edition models pair the higher equipment level with appearance-focused details and 19-inch wheels.

There were no major mechanical, safety, infotainment, or chassis updates.
Did the 2025 Volvo S60 get a new engine or major mechanical update?
No, the 2025 S60 has no major mechanical update. The 247-hp B5 mild hybrid and 455-hp T8 plug-in hybrid carry over, and the T8 continues with AWD and an EPA-estimated 41-mile electric range.
Did Volvo discontinue the S60 Recharge for 2025?
