First generation of S40, S60, and S80 remain as some of my favorite sedan designs ever. That Volvo shoulder line is just perfection.
Time hasnt passed over those designs
Fine as wine
The Volvo design team knows how to make driving masterpieces, and seeing this one go is so painful 😫
But for how long before the Chinese take over design? You have seen it with Mercedes after the Chinese (and Saudi) took over they made them .... well, Chinese.
Stupid lights and chrome in all the wrong places all over the interior those Mercedeses look now like a rolling brothel.
@@buddy1155 Mercedes got the best interior in the game, and have u seen Chinese cars these days they look incredible
@@Carfan678 Are you blind or Chinese?
@@Carfan678 they look like cheap disposable appliances.
No, no they don't
Very sad to see this beautiful car go. Something about the confident stance has always reminded me of the elegant, purposeful-looking BMWs of the early 2000s.
Not only the sedan: the estate V60 and V90 versions are even more beautiful
Another painful day😢
Why are iconic cars been killed off
What a car!
Blame the bulky, ugly, boring SUVs
Because nobody buys them :(
Because SUVs and crossovers 😭
The option to buy these are there for everyone. People choose to buy SUVs, not like there isnt option to buy these beauties instead.
Because Americans have horrible taste.
We had a black S60 from new which we kept for 13 years. It had the larger Tethis wheels & space ball gear lever. Loved that you appreciated the rear lights & strong shoulder design & the rear C pillar as much as I did.
i just purchased 2019 S60 R, with Polestar Engineering. Black on black. Easily the best looking most overlooked sedan. Such a shame to see it go.
Black on black is boring though
Best looking is such a far stretch 😂
@@rufusKSMA not in my opinion
@@Mlippy Not at all.
@@SM-wr4nn well, you must be boring then ^^
My mom had a red, 2003 Volvo V70 with tan interior and man seeing the interior of that S60 takes me back because of how similar it is. She drove that thing for 20 years and just traded it in last year for a XC40, which just doesn't have the same character or personality
Same situation in the UK. No more saloons, hatchbacks are disappearing left right and centre. Most cars you see out on the road now are crossovers
SUV market is in high demand. I’m tired of these sedans and coupes being discontinued with the current market buyers wanting a suv and not a traditional car like a sedan/coupe. Bring back the wagons please. I want to throw up every time I see a suv 🚙 everywhere.
Cry harder.
I’d love a Chrysler 300 Wagon
@@carlosandleonI disagree. Modern cars are getting more and more expensive so people choose sth more practical and spacious but let’s be honest, how often do you put so much luggage into your car that you need it to be as big as possible? Practicality chooses with mind but if we never choose with heart, we will end up surrounded by brutalist architecture and mundane cars.
Why people buy Tesla Model Y instead of Model 3 ? Model 3 is similarly size as BMW E39 which was "big" car in 1990s atleast outside USA
SUVs are fine... crossovers however super gheyyy
My neighbour has an S60 and it's so beautiful. In person the front part of the car looks sporty but not BMW like aggressive, clean but not simple like a Tesla. It's just perfect and mature.
This is just how things are now, everyone wants SUVs or pickup trucks. In the UK Volvo doesn't sell any sedans anymore either sadly.
not everyone ...
I live in Japan and rarely see the sedans. I LOVE Volvo design but honestly always find the sedans to be quite pedestrian. The estates are gorgeous and the XC90 is so stately. No surprise they are cancelling in the USA.
I really like those Pontiac sketches. The cleaning lines of this Volvo makes it a favourite one.
I remember my first Volvo.
An S40 2002 model . I was 27 years old.
My boss was horrified.
His comment was “ is just such a safe and boring choice for a young man”
And I also remember the word dull being thrown around the office .
😀😀
It will probably only come a an electric car here since it was technically do for a refresh and sales were low. It probably didn't make sense to keep around as the capacity would be better served by products with a higher price point. I do hope it comes back though
They should've thrown a proper engine in it. Nobody wants to pay premium for a 4-banger.
When I was young, I used to like a lot the design of the SAABs and wanted to have one.
Those wheels are the Polestar wheels, exclusive to the Polestar S60
Volvo is one of the few companys which ALL models looks just spot on. Beautiful design, and yes i agree the S60 is the best looking Sedan. Too bad its going away ☹️
Well sad to see this one go. At least we will still have the v60 here, though people just don’t buy it. I see less V60 and V90 than 911s on the road, so my guess it’s they won’t be here for long as well…
I hate car companies and buyers nowadays. We in Australia have already gone through this with the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore (check those out!), and it's just tragic that companies have no faith in cars with artistic and mechanical integrity. Except for Toyota/Lexus, they're all right.
People seriously buy SUVs and just drive them alone to the store .... It makes no sense but welcome to the new market
That's sad. It's a really beautiful car!!!
Always wanted one of the S60's, used ones here in the UK are for sale at bargain prices, very tempted but got to convince the wife 😄
I was at World of Volvo in Sweden this past week. Volvo design are so so beautiful, elegant while still mantaining sportiness. I saw a few mint new S60 and I was a happy person! So stunning!
If volvo offered this with a C Class-esque RWD platform, it'd be the best compact saloon car money can buy.
You come from Sweden? Smh. At least you include the rest of Scandinavia
I really love the V70, but I am absolutely biased because it's the only car we've had before our current, and we had it for 12 years after having another v70
We need to buy more sedans!!!!!!!
S60 reminds me of the Acura TLX in the front.
You can buy the s60 R manual, I love this car although my uncle had a couple D4 in black
I love my old 2007 s80, I work at bmw and it makes me happy that my car is handsome by comparison 🤷♂️
s80 looks better than new chinese Volvo. Ex90 is the shame... And new geely bus with Volvo logos... If speak about beautiful: XC90 1 GEN after restyling > 2 gen XC90 > EX90
Nice! I have an 03 s80 and I love it so much 😭
They did sell the manual t5 in the states and ive been looking for the wagon. Almost impossible, they must be extremely rare and if they do come up its got 300k on the odometer. Maybe the sedan is easier but be prepared to look for a while
I have a S40 from 1999. Still a beautiful car today, well think.
I still love the S80. I still love Volvos. I miss Saab
Saab is definitely missed
The design is ❤
I am so sad! but sedans are being killed off!
I like Volvo as a company but I hate the direction the company is going. I like the boxy wagons they made in the 80’s and 90’s and I own a 2000 V70R myself but these days Volvo makes weird electric things and a bunch of crossovers. I miss the was Volvo use to be. Sucks we lost another sedan to the SUVs.
Can you review Lexus IS300h between 2013-2017 models? I love that car and its design.
this new car market will be so boring in the coming years ... too many crossovers and suvs that a lot of ppl can barely park right at walmart 😂
Before I watch this video, wow, thanks for finally making a video on this masterpiece. I own a 2019 S60. Sad to see it go..
I got a 2005 model year S60R
It's so awesome man :D
Isn’t the reason sedans are getting unpopular due to US regulations favoring SUVs and Sedans?
The emission standards are more leniant for SUVs
Bruh this is the best looking model they have
Silhouette practically identical to BMW.
Not digging the old one, but I like the new one..lol😂
no mention of second gen?
Truly the end of an era.
Please make a video about the Polestar 2.
My dad used to have a baby blue 2007 C70 and it still looked like a new car….until my brother thought he could “fix” the hardtop convertible mechanism and completely destroyed the car 🙃
Is it me or do I see a fast back roofline like the original CLS 2000s s60.
*A beautiful car, yes. Except for its taillights. They're not hideous, but... bizarre. That's the only part of the vehicle I'm not a huge fan of.*
I hate that in Sweden Volvo has removed the Cross country and mildhybrids models but its in sweden where the cross country models sell the best and now in Sweden you can only build your own car as an EV or plug in hybrid no normal petoles anymore in Sweden only for dealerships and retail.
Where is this?
The dismiss of another good looking saloon just means more sales for the many very similar tall jelly mould SUV’s. How boring!
You act like wagons and hatchs dont have the same jelly mold look.
And that sedans dont have a copy and paste look as well. You see one sedans shape you have literally seen them all.
Im never this early for a video.... being up at 2 am is fun AND rewarding
Because SUVs are much more worse in handling, and has worse pedestrian visibility, all I'm saying is they are a safety hazard. Therefore all SUV's/crossovers should be banned 😃
Pre recession Volvo was where it was at
I hate the red lights indicators
I have 3litre diesel in a limo...without that I wouldn't buy a sedan...so this S60 was never good enough for me
Poor engine choices (T8 is not sporty and the top speed limit to 112mph/180kmh is funny in Europe)
It no longer had a manual transmission anyways, after it lost that....I lost interest.
The Volvo looks good but I hate their iteriors just can't look at that weird iterior every day
Sedans and wagons will one day be a collectors item. Time to hoard them.
Yeah - I'm planning on holding onto my 2020 Audi S4 now that Audi is killing off sedans.
Volvo has been taking a lot strange decisions lately. They removed v60cc and v90cc from the offer, they stopped offering diesel engines in Europe that constituted 50% of sales, and they want to stop offering combustion engines from from 2030, when all other brands abandoned ideas .
Honestly though, wagons
you need more subs!!!
sweet vid :)
I think sedan is dead, it's slowly turned into SUV with lower clearance. Sedan is still viable in the ultra luxury segment!
6:56 in white colour this is most boring/bland design
The only way to save the car/wagon is regulation. For non-commercial vehicles, higher hood height = higher taxation for buyers and producers. Then watch how automakers start shifting their advertising to show how cool wagons are!
In Europe they mandated hoods be TALLER for safety....but I think they are figuring out how wrong they were. 😂
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 maybe taller hood make for more crumple zone? I guess that makes sense if you're colliding with a wall or tree.
its ridiculous and unbelievable that US stopped driving manufacturing and importing sedans... its THE car.. icant see how all those trucks and SUVs are better... its insanity
I always turn my head whenever I see Volvo S60 on the street.
„Chamfer“ mentioned in this video: 6 times
I think it will get replaced with an ev
Bad decision. Ive only seen one polestar on the road so nobody wants them.
I’ve owned 7 Volvos and I work on them professionally. They are not that reliable and the build quality is slightly below Audi. They require more maintenance than most vehicles with the same level of technology.
Most cities in America you can’t even drive a sedan without hitting a pothole and cracking your motor oil tank. Fuck sedans.
Volvo makes great cars and Commercial Trucks # FH16
Holy hell 2030 is gonna be depressing
I always thought it was funny that you had Swedish for car in your username (bil). Now i know it not a coincidence because you’re Swedish
PS. Du har den bästa bil kanalen på youtube
Det är Bembli, inte Bembil :)
@@ahlsn7346 fan dyslexi 🤦♀️
Is that polestar
First they came for the station wagons and I said nothing...
I totally agree! Sedans look much more elegant than these boring SUVs.
Dude, Atacama is NOT brown 😆
It's seriously orange
Only US? Okay I'm fine with that
That's what happens when you support crossovers.
I've never owned an SUV or Crossover and I never will. I'd rather get divorced and ride a bicycle.
1:31 Soccer mamas don't care
I really wonder who is making decision of which car to import? Is it mostly up to manufacturers? Or there are laws? Is the sales number really that bad so they decides to not sell hatch backs like AMG A45 and BMW 1 series? And S60?
I just went to test drive the hybrid S60 a while ago, after seeing topherdrives’ video, a really underrated powerful car, not for me but if non-car people like my parents are in the market, I would for sure consider the S60
My dad had a S60.
Worst car to ever enter the driveway.
Left us stranded and was such a overly engineered mess.
I could do a jig. Im genuinely so happy this car was killed off. Never said that about any other model to ever exist. Even ugly cars.
Such a shame that it is still available elsewhere in other markets.
We dont really see the point in buying a sedan ever again. We have had two Camrys after the S60.
They are fine but not good enough to buy again.
These cars are SLAMMED to the ground. Hyper impractical in our areas. Been a issue a few times. Can barely clear every day curbs.
The roof line is so low. We arent tall but our heads are so close to the roof. My head hits the ceiling in the back of most sedans I sit in. They feel like dungeons. Trunks are pretty impractical. A hatchback, CUV, wagon, MPV makes much more sense. If you want sportiness buy a coupe. The sedan body style just makes no sense when you really think about it.
If only it was rear wheel drive… such a shame to waste a beautiful shape like that with a numb front wheel drive platform
Volvo Cars have lost their strategy COMPLETELY today... the company will go bankrupt with this BEV hype and they will not want to realize reality at all that they have to keep petrol, diesel and PHEVs even long after 2030... also their design philosophy with the interior is garbage too after SPA1
I will be so mad if the board fucks up the company with bankruptcy... Volvo was Volvo until 2018-2019 with everything from R, to T5-R, Polestar cars with 6-cyl and 4-cyl, SPA1 platform and all of it. There is so much history and emotion to this brand. After 2019 their strategy is totally down the drain...
Hade ingen aning om att du är från Sverige 😂 Min dotters kusin på sin mammas sida jobbade som designer hos Volvo :)
BRO WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF
The S60 tried to beat the 3 Series and couldn’t because the 4 cylinder engine and suspension dynamics were not good enough. If they were this vehicle would be unbeatable.. I have a V60 polestar- loved it but was just not as good a the 3 series.
Yeah, Volvo has been dying for years. In Gothenburg they’ve closed the original museum which included the 850 BTCC and other works of arts, and opened «the world of Volvo» which is basically just a conference center that focus on philosophical bs.
The Volvos of the first decade of the 2000s looked more elegant and expressive than the Volvos of the second decade, after being sold to the chinese
Better to be narrow eyed than narrow minded, I guess.

I believe sedans, even more generic and "bland" models are more beautiful than SUVs. At the end of the day, you're talking about a vehicle that averages the same length range of an SUV but is notably shallower. They're inherently sleek. SUVs are inherently bulbous stout stubby and blob like in comparison. I get SUVs are the craze now, but I personally care about the proportions of a vehicle enough to where I see many crossovers take sedan design language and just bloat or stretch it upwards, it doesn't look nearly as good. I'm always perplexed why so many americans now think of SUVs in a superior way to the imo classier look of most sedans.
Its the infrastructure in the unites states. The pot holes, high curbs, speed bumps, broken concrete paver slabs, etc plauge the united states everywhere. Its rare we have a smooth road anymore that doesnt rattle your teeth in a sedan. Hence why people love SUVs. Also, the high seating allows for more confident visibility. Sedans will only come back if we improve our roads Cuz lets face it our streets are pretty much turning into offroad trails
