Volvo S60 2021 Performance

Calling the Volvo S60 2021 an automotive icon is no overstatement, as its heritage stretches back more than 30 years and its cheerful driving demeanor has always been its strongest character attribute.

The mid-range Club trim strikes the best balance of features and performance here, especially now that it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration as standard. Although the Volvo S60 2021 is available with an automatic transmission, we believe it’s best equipped with the crisp and joyful six-speed manual.
