Volvo S60
How can the S60 compete with the big guns from Germany with just two powertrain options left? B5 models feature a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 247 horsepower, with mild hybrid technology adding a modest 13 horsepower. The S60 Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid combines the same engine with an electric motor for a total of 455 horsepower and 64 km of zero-emission range. The seats are uber-comfortable, but drivers need to get used to the infotainment system.
