Reviews SummaryThe Volvo S60 competes with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Lexus IS, and Infiniti Q50. But the S60 wasn't always so competitive. In fact, dating back to 2000, it was kind of its own thing, the closest competitor being Saab. Well, Saab is no more, and Volvo woke up, realizing it had to make a sedan with mass appeal. From a visual standpoint, it’s hard not to find the S60 appealing. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen Volvo brought the S90 name back to the United States in 2017, it put an exclamation point on a refreshed lineup. The formerly staid Swedish brand was now competing in the luxury field. The 2021 Volvo S90 Recharge T8 Inscription shows off the best Volvo offers in terms of design, technology, safety, and luxury, making it a fitting flagship for the lineup. | |
