Volvo S60
Freshly redesigned, the S60 midsize luxury sedan became the first Volvo to be built in the U.S.—and one of its most exciting cars ever, the brand says. Two gasoline engines (rated at 250 and 316 horsepower) serve as an entry point, but the S60 also gets the plug-in hybrid treatment (400 horsepower) in its most advanced and upscale trim. An active chassis and various drive modes adapt the car to your driving style and road conditions. All-wheel drive and Pilot Assist are available, too.
