In the case of the 2021 Volvo S60, there are more standard advanced driver features to watch out for. It is equipped with powerful engines too. It promises excellent seat comfort as well.
Design & Style
The 2021 A5 is never short when it comes to design and style. Offered in various models, there are two seating configurations for the ride. It seats four for its cabriolet and coupe models while there are seats for five in its Sportback models. It is easy for the driver to find the most suitable driving position with its eight-way power-adjustable front seats. All seats are comfortable and supportive for this ride.

In the case of the 2021 S60, expect five people to be accommodated in its cabin. There are plenty of legroom and headroom on both rows, but the front seats are extremely comfortable when compared to the back seats. The ride is minimalistic with soft-touch materials all throughout. It does not feel as upscale as the A5, though.
Technology & Safety
Carrying the MIB infotainment system, the 2021 Audi A5 earns all the good praises when it comes to its tech features. This comes equipped with a 10.1-inch touch screen, large enough to display visual graphics, as well as simple enough to respond quickly to user inputs.

It also has the Audi Pre Sense Basic to tighten seat belts and roll up windows in case there is an imminent collision. Lane departure warning and a rearview camera is included as well.
The S60, on the other hand, is equipped with the Sensus infotainment system that has a nine-inch touch screen. This pairs well with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
