After this month, the number of sedans sold in the U.S. will decrease by one, as the Volvo S60 is slated to end production at the end of June. The compact luxury car that’s sold in the States is currently built at Volvo’s assembly plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina, which is also where the electric three-row EX90 is being built.
While the S60 lineup will soon be dead in the U.S., it will continue to be sold in some other markets. That’s because Volvo’s sedan is also built at the company’s Daqing factory in China. We reached out to Volvo about whether or not those cars would be imported to our shores, but a spokesperson told Car and Driver that there currently aren’t any plans to do so.
The Volvo representative also mentioned that the S60 is still being produced as a MY25 vehicle and is available at Volvo retailers across the country. Customers who are interested in the S60 are encouraged to reach out to their local retailer or visit volvocars.com/us to learn more.
The current generation of the S60 made its debut for the 2019 model year, and its exterior and interior designs have remained virtually unchanged since then. For 2025, the lineup includes a nonhybrid model with a 247-hp turbo four engine, as well as a 456-hp plug-in-hybrid model. The latter has also changed its “Recharge” moniker to the more straightforward “T8 AWD plug-in hybrid.”
In addition to this news, it’s worth noting that Eric Stafford, an automotive journalist for Car and Driver, has been passionate about cars since before he could walk. His love for automobiles has led him to write news, reviews, and more for the publication since 2016. Despite his childhood dream of amassing a car collection like Jay Leno’s, he chose a career in automotive journalism instead. Stafford holds a journalism degree from Central Michigan University and has a collection of cars that includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
As the production of the Volvo S60 comes to an end in the U.S., it marks the closing of a chapter for this compact luxury sedan in the American market. While the S60 will still be available in other regions, Volvo has no plans to import the sedan back to the States. Customers who are interested in the S60 can still find the MY25 model at Volvo retailers nationwide, with both nonhybrid and plug-in-hybrid options available. This change reflects the evolving trends in the automotive industry and the shift towards electrification and sustainable mobility.
