Volvo S60 to remain on sale in Australia, despite US exit

The 2024 Volvo S60 will continue to be available in Australia for the time being, despite production of the mid-size luxury sedan wrapping up in the US.

Australian-market versions of the Volvo S60 are sourced from China, which enables the sleek four-door to continue here for at least the current model year.

Its days are numbered, however, given Volvo Car Australia has committed to becoming a full-electric brand by 2026.

All-new EVs are in the pipeline, although there’s a question mark over where Volvo takes its next-generation mid-size passenger cars.

“We always monitor market and segment trends,” a spokesperson told carsales.

“For the now [current model year] S60 remains part of our local model portfolio.”

The Aussie S60 line-up was bolstered last month by the arrival of the limited-run 2024 Volvo S60 Dark Edition featuring black aesthetic treatments inside and out, additional equipment and, not least of all, a powerful 311kW/670Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged plug-in hybrid powertrain.

We wouldn’t be surprised if a dedicated swansong S60 special-edition emerges in the months ahead.

US production of the S60 will wind down by the end of this month to make way for the all-new 2025 Volvo EX90 electric large SUV, which will also be built in China for a variety of markets, including Australia, where first deliveries are due in January.
