2023 S60 Interior
The interior of a luxury sedan needs to be a lot of things to live up to expectations, and the Volvo S60 doesn't disappoint. Only the best materials are used in its construction and styling is the epitome of Swedish simplistic elegance. Real wool inlays are present even in the cheapest models, but the quality goes up as you spend more. Unfortunately, there is not quite as much space as we'd like, especially in the rear seats, and the trunk is only passable. Where we can't fault it, though, is the comprehensive list of features. Naturally, safety comes first and the number of driver aids is staggering, but the infotainment system is extensive too. The nine-inch touchscreen is not as large as what some competitors offer, and it can be tricky to navigate at first. But, once you get used to it, you'll find that it is intuitive and requires little effort to operate.

Seating and Interior Space
The S60 is not quite as spacious as the full-size S90 executive sedan, but there is enough space for the whole family. The roof is a little low, though, in the name of style, but it's high enough to accommodate most tall adults. Legroom is a little more of a mixed bag; front-seat passengers have more than enough to stretch out, but they may find themselves being asked to pull forward a little so that those in the back can have a little more than the standard 35.2 inches of legroom. The rear seats are definitely not the ideal place for taller adults, but you can squeeze them in for a short jaunt around town. The ease of getting in and out depends entirely on the height of passengers, due to the aforementioned low roofline. Luckily, visibility is quite good, so you won't find yourself relying on the driver-assistance features very often.

Interior Colors and Materials
Only the highest-quality materials are used inside the Volvo S60. The entry-tier Core's seats are upholstered in soft leatherette in a choice of Blond or Charcoal with wood inlays. It is also the only trim that offers the option of the Blond City Weave Textile seats, in which case the inlays change to Alloy. The Plus and Ultimate upgrade to plush genuine leather. The available color schemes for the Plus include Blond or Charcoal with Driftwood inlays, while the Ultimate adds Maroon Brown with wood inlays. The Polestar Engineered S60 Recharge is restricted to a Charcoal Nappa Leather/leatherette/textile combination. The cabin is extremely well put together, and there is nary a piece of hard plastic in sight.
2023 S60 Trunk and Cargo Space
Based on how little space there is in the trunk, one might believe that Volvo has completely abandoned the idea of the sedan as a practical body style. This is hardly a surprise considering that SUVs have all but replaced the daily driver for most families. Behind the rear seats of this luxury sedan, there is a mere 11.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity. This is enough for some light errand running, or to stow a few bags for a trip to the airport. But, for anything more elaborate, you'll have to ask a friend if you can borrow their crossover.
Small-item storage around the cabin is rather average. A pair of cupholders up front are complemented by the pair in the rear fold-down armrest. The glovebox and center armrest cubby can store a few larger items, and the door pockets are wide enough for water bottles.

2023 S60 Infotainment and Features
Features
You can settle for an entry-level Momentum and still feel like you're getting a top-tier trim considering just how much comes standard. 12-way power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat memory, along with dual-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch driver information display, keyless entry and ignition, and a panoramic sunroof are all included. The list of safety features is just as comprehensive. Blind-spot monitoring, an overtaking sensor, and rear cross-traffic alert are included as basic features, bolstering the cruise control, a rearview camera, rear park assist, hill-start assist, front and rear collision avoidance, and lane-keep assist. Even more is unlocked as you move through the trim levels, adding front fog lights, passenger seat memory, front cushion extensions, quad-zone climate control, and front park assist. The hybrid models add 14-way powered and heated front seats and a 12-volt cargo area power outlet at the base level, as well as a head-up display, heated steering wheels, a 360-degree camera, and Pilot Assist on the upper-tier trim without the need to resort to packaged add-ons.
Infotainment
The infotainment suite on the Volvo S60 sedan can be a little tricky to use at first. Everything is accessed through a portrait-oriented nine-inch touchscreen, and the menus need to be learned through trial and error. Standard applications include built-in Google, Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, FM Radio, and SiriusXM. There is also an auxiliary audio jack for more old-school devices like an iPod, and various USB ports spread throughout the cabin allow for the charging of devices. Navigation is also added to the upper trims in the form of Sensus Navigation Pro. The entry-level model receives a ten-speaker sound system, while the B5 Ultimate upgrades to a 14-speaker Harman Kardon setup and get wireless charging, too. If you so choose, the top-tire trim can replace the sound system with a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins setup, though this is standard for the S60 Recharge Polestar Engineered.
