Nearly four years ago, Volvo
Nearly four years ago, Volvo announced that it would electrify its entire lineup of cars and SUVs. Now, every vehicle it sells in the U.S. has a mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric powertrain as standard or optional equipment. And for the 2021 model year, the automaker launches a new sub-brand called Recharge to describe its growing family of plug-in hybrid electric and electric vehicles.
There are six Volvo Recharge models from which to choose. The XC40 Recharge P8 is the only full electric, a compact SUV with over 200 miles of driving range. The rest are plug-ins, available in S60, S90, V60, XC60, and XC90 model series. For 2021, these Recharge T8 PHEVs add more affordable variants to make them even more appealing to customers.
Additional changes to the 2021 Volvo S60 lineup include standard blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, full curve adaptive LED headlights, and keyless entry. Connected Safety car-to-car communication technology debuts for 2021, and the available Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system gets an update. Like all 2021 Volvo models, the S60 comes with a 112-mph speed limiter and a Care Key remote fob owners can program with a specific top vehicle speed.
Exterior
When Volvo redesigned the S60 a couple of years ago, it was the last of the automaker's models to move to its Scalable Product Architecture platform and adopt modern Volvo design themes. The result is a handsome sedan (and wagon, in V60 format) that avoids the humpbacked look so many 4-door cars are adopting in the name of aerodynamics.
Led by its signature Thor's Hammer LED running lights and rolling on 19-inch Y-spoke forged aluminum wheels, the S60 Recharge T8 Polestar Engineered looks every bit the part of the sleeper sports sedan, right down to its gold-painted brake calipers. They're the only blatant outward signal that this plug-in hybrid might be a performance vehicle to contend with despite its power port cover on the left front fender.
Interior
That same gold color Volvo uses for the brake calipers repeats within the cabin for the seat belts. Otherwise, the S60 Recharge T8 Polestar Engineered's cabin is black, black, and more black, interrupted only by gray contrast stitching and aluminum trim and accents. A standard panoramic sunroof lightens the mood.
Materials are of top-notch quality, storage is decent, and the dashboard and center console offer Volvo's now-familiar look and layout, from the 9-inch portrait-mounted Sensus Connect touchscreen infotainment system to the knurled metal engine start knob. Minimalism is the rule, but once you acclimate to Volvo's design quirks, a driver quickly makes sense of it all.
Some versions of the S60 offer a four-zone climate control system, and Volvo's available Air Quality System filters airborne particulates to PM 2.5.
