The 2025 Volvo S60 is available with two primary engine systems. The B5 Mild Hybrid includes a direct-injected turbocharged engine coupled with an integrated starter generator. This system delivers a consistent 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It is configured in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive formats. Fuel efficiency is rated at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 35 on the highway for the front-wheel drive variant. The all-wheel drive version reaches 25 miles per gallon in the city and 33 on the highway, with a combined efficiency of 28 miles per gallon.
The T8 Plug-in Hybrid expands performance through the combination of a turbocharged engine and an electric motor. This dual-source system provides a combined output of 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. The maximum output for the internal combustion engine is 312 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, while the electric motor delivers 143 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque. The EPA-estimated fuel efficiency is 74 MPGe, and the all-electric driving range reaches 41 miles under tested conditions. The plug-in hybrid variant includes all-wheel drive and an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with start/stop functionality and adaptive shifting across all configurations.
Disclaimer: *EPA estimated range is 25 MPG city/33 MPG highway/28 MPG combined. Your actual range will vary for many reasons, including but not limited to, driving conditions, how and where you drive, how you maintain your vehicle, battery-package/condition, and other factors.

Engineered for Functional Utility
The 2025 Volvo S60 maintains a practical layout for daily use with a five-seat configuration across all variants. Cargo space remains consistent at 11.6 cubic feet in the trunk area regardless of powertrain. Towing capabilities are distinctly divided between the engine types. The B5 Mild Hybrid models support a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, while the T8 Plug-in Hybrid extends that capability to 5,000 pounds. All configurations use the same transmission, which enhances mechanical consistency across the range.
Integrated Connectivity Systems
The 2025 Volvo S60 includes a digital driver interface with a 12.3-inch display across all trims. Native integration of Google services supports Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store, operating within an Android-based system. Connectivity features also include Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, and access to SiriusXM® Radio with a trial subscription. Front and rear USB-C ports are positioned for convenience in both seat rows.
Remote vehicle services are enabled through the Volvo Cars app. The app provides access to features such as vehicle location, remote start, and system status. The included road sign information system actively identifies posted speed limits and other signage in view of the forward camera system.
Cabin Air and Climate Controls
A dedicated air purification system co-developed with Blueair is standard across all trims. This feature is designed to remove up to 95 percent of PM2.5 airborne particles before they enter the cabin. It operates alongside the CleanZone function, which further manages internal air quality and supports a controlled climate environment.
Dual-zone automatic climate control is included across all trims. Upper configurations extend this to a four-zone system for enhanced passenger control. Ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel are available depending on trim and selected packages. Power lumbar support is standard in all configurations, with front seats in upper trims receiving four-way adjustment. Seat memory is present for both the driver and front passenger in select variants.
Chassis and Handling Configuration
Every 2025 Volvo S60 includes an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission and adaptive shift technology. Drive options span front-wheel drive for the B5 FWD and all-wheel drive for B5 AWD and T8 AWD variants. The AWD system offers additional control for variable road surfaces. Standard wheels include 18-inch diamond cut alloy wheels for entry trims. Nineteen-inch options are included or available depending on trim and package. Tire repair kits or temporary spare wheels are provided based on specific model selections.
