Apart from their safety department, the other thing Volvo vehicles are good at is in their interior department. On the inside, the 2022 S60 gets a simple and straightforward design with an uncluttered dashboard. There are minimal but tasteful chrome inserts throughout the interior and the dashboard gets a soft-touch treatment on the upper half as well. The center stack isn’t too wide and houses only a few controls including the gear selector stick. The front seats offer superb comfort levels and get heating too along with power adjustments. The rear seats are superbly comfortable too; moreover, the outboard rear headrests get a power-folding option with the Premium package. As standard, the cabin gets a dual-zone automatic climate control but that gets upgraded to a quad-zone automatic unit on the R-Design trim for additional comfort. The only disappointing bit is the sub-par trunk space of 11.6 cu-ft only.

The Audi A4 has one of the best interiors here among its rivals and the overall design is sportier and more appealing than the S60’s interior. The dashboard of the A4 gets a continuous air-vent design that integrates the actual air-con vents and the silver accents on both the dashboard and the center stack give the much-required premium feel. The seats are equally spacious and comfy as compared to the S60’s cabin while the trunk capacity is marginally better. The BMW 3 Series also gets a driver-focused cabin that is quite well-appointed too. The Beemer, however, gets a respectable trunk space of 17 cu-ft which is much better than what all the rivals here offer. The Cadillac CT5 gets a premium but busy interior, especially at the front due to the button-heavy dashboard. The trunk capacity of the CT5 is identical to the S60’s space.
