EXPERT RATING
8

The most luxury-focused model in the Volvo S60 2020 model range is the Inscription variant, which has a list price of $60,990 plus on-road costs.

It builds upon the extensive equipment offered in the Momentum grade with 19-inch alloy wheels, directional LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, four-zone climate control, wood interior highlights, ambient lighting, heated front seats with cushion extensions, and a 230-volt power outlet in the rear console.

That’s on top of the standard LED tail-lights, a 9.0-inch multimedia touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as DAB+ digital radio, keyless entry, auto dimming rear vision mirror, auto dimming and auto folding wing-mirrors, dual-zone climate control and leather trim on the seats and steering wheel.

Safety gear is extensive, too, with auto emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear AEB, lane keeping assist with lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring with steering assist, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and a reversing camera with front and rear parking sensors. The Inscription also has a head-up display, a 360-degree parking camera and auto-parking assist.

The Inscription is available only with the T5 powertrain - a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an eight-speed automatic with permanent all-wheel drive (AWD)

The engine produces 187kW of power (at 5500pm) and 350Nm of torque (1800-4800rpm), and offers a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 6.4 seconds. Fuel use is claimed at 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres.
