Best Volvo Vehicles for Grads
Tackle the world in the S60 and XC40
Whether your grad just finished high school or college, a new Volvo model can help them tackle the road ahead. A new vehicle offers a great way to explore the world, cultivate responsibility, commute to work, and more.
Here's what we recommend for your new grads:
2018 Volvo S60
The 2018 Volvo S60 is perfect for young drivers due to its compact size, safety features, and suite of technologies. Parents can rest easy knowing that new drivers will benefit from a host of available safety features, including stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, rearview camera, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning.
The 2018 S60 is powered by a direct-injected turbocharged engine mated to an eight-speed Geartronic™ automatic transmission with start/stop capability. Power output is a more-than-capable 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Start-stop technology can automatically stop the engine when idling at a red light or stop-and-go traffic to conserve fuel and reduce CO2 emissions. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will immediately switch back on to resume driving. This helps the S60 to save at the pump, with a conservative EPA-estimated 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.*
Inside, you'll find a host of available tech features like integrated Bluetooth® technology, advanced voice recognition and steering wheel controls, keyless entry, and the available premium audio and navigation systems. With the Volvo S60, your grad can go anywhere in safety and style.
2018 Volvo XC40
If your grad would prefer the extra capability of a crossover, take a look at the 2018 Volvo XC40. Drivers can enjoy the efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that produces 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with standard all-wheel drive. Rest assured that your grad will be able to tackle any driving conditions.
Apart from providing great performance options, the Volvo XC40 continues its reputation as one of the most versatile and appealing compact SUVs around. Like the S60, it comes with standard safety additions, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane keeping assist. Other notable features include dual-seat climate control and heated seats, six speakers, a touchscreen panel display featuring the Bluetooth® and USB connectivity.
The driver assistance features on the Volvo XC40 will keep your grad (and their passengers) safe, connected, and entertained, no matter where the road may lead.

Volvo also offers a special program, reserved for college graduates. The Volvo College Graduate Program can make it easy for you to drive a Volvo.
