Have you ever wondered how the 2015 Volvo S60 stacks up against the competition in? We’ve chosen the 2015 BMW 328 to compare to the 2015 Volvo S60. We’re sure that after you get all the information, you’ll want to head on over to Beach Volvo and see for yourself!
New for 2015, the Volvo S60 gets several changes, including a couple of new four-cylinder engines (one that is both turbo- and supercharged) and an eight-speed automatic transmission. New features debut for 2015 as well, such as fuel-saving automatic engine stop-start technology and available lane-keeping assist. Finally, midway through the year, "2015.5" models (those built after June 2014) see a few changes to standard and optional equipment including updates to Volvo's standard telematics system.
The Volvo S60 will also require fewer visits to the gas station than the BMW 328, making it more convenient to drive. You’ll get 25 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. With its lower torque, the BMW 328 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volvo S60. When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 328 is significantly less powerful than the Volvo S60. One annoyance of the BMW 328 can be the oftentimes gruff restart nature of the automatic engine stop-start function, though this fuel-saving feature can be disabled. You won’t encounter this in the 2015 Volvo S60. The BMW 328’s dynamic steering option is often criticized for a response that is out of sync with the driver's input, making the car's responses sometimes difficult to predict. This certainly can’t making driving the BMW 328 feel safe to drive.
The 2015 Volvo S60 has some stiff competition in its class, but we’re sure you’ll fall in love with the Volvo S60 with your first test drive.
