2023 Volvo S60 Recharge Ultimate Black Edition

The S60 Recharge sedan has a simple, stylish exterior that's typical Volvo. But, in fact, the plug-in hybrid S60 is a muscle car disguised as a mild-mannered Scandinavian luxury sedan. The S60's turbocharged 4-cylinder engine combines with an electric motor to produce 455 hp, which provides quick, responsive acceleration. It's also good for a strong EV-only range of 41 miles and an overall range of 530 miles. The S60's minimalist interior is replete with high-quality materials, including an Orrefors crystal shift knob. Overall fit and finish are excellent, and a comprehensive set of advanced safety features is standard. The S60's sport-tuned suspension delivers a comfortable—albeit firm—ride. Entry and exit from the front seats is easy, but back-seat room is a little tight. Visibility all around is good, although the rearview camera provides an odd, "fish-eye" perspective. All-wheel drive is standard. On the downside, the S60 isn’t as engaging to drive as some competitors; its steering feels light and loose, and there's little feedback from the road. Also, the center console could use some knobs and hard keys instead of inconvenient touch-screen-based controls. Trunk and interior—storage space is limited, and the S60's maximum onboard charger rate is about half that of some competitors
