Explore Similar Vehicles to the S60: V60 & XC60 Guide

VEHICLE COMPARISON

At first glance, the Volvo S60, V60, and XC60 all share that signature Scandinavian minimalism with clean lines, balanced proportions, and quiet confidence. Where the S60 embodies the classic sedan silhouette, the V60 adds a dose of practicality with its sleek wagon design, while the XC60 embraces the elevated stance and versatility of an SUV. The V60's extended roofline doesn't just add style. It also adds usable cargo space without losing the low, planted feel that S60 fans love. The XC60, on the other hand, takes that same design philosophy and scales it up, offering a taller ride height and a more commanding view of the roads around Bee Cave.

Step inside any of these three Volvos, and you'll find a familiar atmosphere rife with elegant materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and technology that enhances rather than overwhelms. The S60's interior has always been a benchmark for comfort and simplicity, but the V60 and XC60 push it even further. The V60 offers the same seating comfort and digital displays but adds more cargo flexibility, making it perfect for Austin families who need room for gear or a weekend trip to San Marcos. The XC60 goes one step further, offering higher seating, available ventilated leather upholstery, and a slightly larger cabin that feels both airy and secure, and is ideal for drivers who enjoy visibility and comfort in equal measure.

One of the reasons S60 owners fall in love with their cars is the way they drive, with balanced, confident, and quietly athletic handling. Both the V60 and XC60 retain that DNA. Each offers available mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains that deliver smooth, efficient performance with plenty of torque for merging on I-35 or navigating the curves outside Lakeway. The New Volvo V60 in its Cross Country variant also comes with standard all-wheel drive and a slightly raised suspension, giving you a subtle nod to adventure, ideal for those who occasionally venture beyond city streets. The XC60, meanwhile, delivers the most versatility, pairing its hybrid technology with a commanding driving position and confidence-inspiring traction. Both maintain Volvo's signature refinement and stability, ensuring you'll recognize that signature S60 feel the moment you press the accelerator.

Volvo's dedication to safety and technology has always been ahead of its time. Whether you choose the V60 or XC60, you'll enjoy the same cutting-edge safety suite that made the S60 so beloved. This includes Pilot Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Aid, and Volvo's advanced collision avoidance systems. Inside, Google built-in infotainment with Google Maps and Assistant provides a seamless driving experience, while the premium sound systems and minimalist interface keep the cabin as relaxing as a Sunday drive through Pflugerville. Both models offer the same serene, high-tech feel, and prove that luxury doesn't have to shout.

Ultimately, both the V60 and XC60 carry forward what made the S60 special, but with added versatility. The New Volvo V60 is ideal for those who still love the athletic, low-slung character of a sedan but want more space for bikes, pets, or weekend getaways. The New Volvo XC60 suits drivers looking for elevated comfort, family-friendly functionality, and all-weather confidence that's a perfect match for Austin's unpredictable mix of downtown commutes and hill country escapes.
