2022 Volvo S60 price and specs

The Volvo S60 range has been trimmed down to just one model for 2022, and now features 48V mild-hybrid technology.

Gone are the base Momentum and sporty R-Line trims, while the related V60 wagon has been axed altogether in favour of the V60 Cross Country.

The 2022 S60 range consists of a lone B5 Inscription model, the most luxury-focused of Volvo’s trim levels.

It’s priced at $62,490 before on-road costs, up $1500 on the outgoing T5 Inscription.

The range was already trimmed for 2021, losing its flagship plug-in hybrid T8 variant due to slow sales.

Volvo’s SUV range now accounts for the lion’s share of the brand’s sales, with the S90 sedan and V90 Cross Country also disappearing from local price lists.

The S60 is a niche product for Volvo. Through the end of June 2021, the brand has sold just 76.

That puts it above the Genesis G70 (44), sold through just two showrooms, but behind the Jaguar XE (92) and Alfa Romeo Giulia (159), let alone the German stalwarts.
