Volvo S60 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The S60 is Volvo's compact luxury sedan. It was sold with a mild-hybrid gasoline engine and with a plug-in hybrid option, and it was priced against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes C-Class. Volvo has reportedly stopped building the S60, so the 2025 model year is likely the last, and anyone shopping now will mostly find leftover new cars or used ones.

Because of that, check with a Volvo retailer about availability before you rely on the figures below. Remaining cars may carry discounts, and pricing for used examples will depend on the market.

The B5 Core with front-wheel drive is the entry point at $42,600, and the all-wheel-drive version lists at $44,900. The B5 Plus with front-wheel drive lists at $45,400, and the B5 Ultra with all-wheel drive at $50,300. The plug-in hybrid T8 in Ultra trim lists at $57,400, which is the top of the range in this table.

The jump to the plug-in hybrid is the largest single increase, and it brings electric driving range and all-wheel drive in exchange. Whether it pays off depends on how much of your driving can be done on electricity and whether you can charge at home.

For comparison, the 2024 model year had a similar structure.

The starting prices of the two years are close, which suggests Volvo made few changes to base pricing between the 2024 and 2025 model years. Compare the equipment on each car, though, since trims and names changed.

The prices above are before Volvo's destination charge.

Add sales tax, title, registration, and any dealer documentation fee. For a plug-in hybrid, also check any state or federal incentives, which depend on where you live and the rules in force at the time of purchase.

Because the S60 is out of production, many buyers will end up in a used example. Volvo's certified pre-owned program adds an inspection and an extended warranty, which can justify a higher price. For any used luxury car, get a vehicle history report, ask for service records, and have an independent shop inspect it. Plug-in hybrids are more complex, so ask about the battery and the charging system.

The Core trim is for buyers who want the Volvo badge, the brand's safety reputation, and a clean Scandinavian interior at the lowest entry price. The Plus adds equipment that many people end up wanting after a test drive, and it is the trim dealers most often stock. The Ultra is the fully equipped version, and its price brings it close to the next class up, so compare it with a similarly priced BMW, Audi, or Mercedes before you decide.

All-wheel drive adds to the cost on the B5 models. If you live somewhere with snow, it can be a worthwhile addition, and if you do not, front-wheel drive saves money at purchase and at the pump.

• Call several Volvo retailers to ask whether any new S60 remain in stock.
• Ask for an out-the-door price in writing.
• Check Volvo's current incentives and lease offers.
• Compare a new leftover against a certified used car.
• Decline add-ons you did not ask for.

Luxury sedans cost more to insure and service than mainstream cars. Premium fuel is typically recommended for performance-oriented engines, so check the manual. A plug-in hybrid can lower fuel costs if you charge it regularly, but it adds complexity, and repairs outside the warranty can be expensive. Ask about warranty coverage before you buy, particularly for the hybrid battery.

Resale value for discontinued models can be less predictable, so check used-car listings in your area to see how similar S60s are priced.
