With the Volvo S60, you can choose a mild hybrid or plugin hybrid powertrain. Mild hybrid powertrains save energy from regenerative braking in a battery. Mild hybrids have the advantage of not needing to plug into electricity at all. A plugin powertrain gives you the advantage of a greater range because it has a more powerful battery.
Both powertrain options will reduce gasoline usage driving around Winston-Salem and beyond. The mild hybrid version of the Volvo S60 achieves 33 miles per gallon on the highway. The Volvo S60 Recharge plugin hybrid version gets 33 miles per gallon on the highway and 74 miles per gallon equivalent, with a total output of 455 horsepower. The Volvo S60 Recharge has the advantage of hybrid powertrains because they deliver smooth and powerful acceleration with their electric motors. Plus, it can go over 40 miles using only electric motors.
As expected from an upscale luxury vehicle, the steering and the suspension is tuned to provide responsive steering and a plush ride that makes driving around Salisbury fun. The Volvo S60 will seat five passengers and can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
