S60

2021 Volvo S60

Active front headlights, front cornering lights, fog lights, automatically dimming side mirrors, power-folding side mirrors, Blind Spot Information System, rear Cross Traffic Alert, power trunk and a hands-free keyless entry are now standard.

Better hope the upcoming zombie apocalypse is slow zombies, a top speed of 112 MPH is now programmed into every Volvo. The standard telematics system now transmits and receives warning of road hazards... like fast zombies, or actually ice on road or if the hazard lights are activated.

The 12-volt cigarette lighter style outlet is replaced by two USB-C ports, like the new ones on Apples.

AM radio tuners are gone, leaving FM and satellite. No word on 8-track availability. Although traffic and alert stations are on the AM band, Volvo claims that you can still get AM stations through the "Tune-In" phone app, but that requires cellular service and won't work if you don't have coverage. Wireless phone charging is now offered.

Power-folding rear seats and rear headrests are no longer standard on Momentum models, but are part of the Premium Package.

The T8 plug-in hybrid is renamed "Recharge."
