Taking the Volvo S60 as an example, it uses an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Below are the relevant details about the Volvo S60: 1. Design. The exterior of the new Volvo S60 has a sporty style, while the interior offers the spacious characteristics of a sedan. Its sturdy and dynamic design gives the entire car a distinctive sporty appearance. At the same time, it is spacious and practical, ensuring comfortable travel for five passengers. 2. Configuration. It is a high-performance luxury sports sedan featuring a high-turbocharged engine, a six-speed manual transmission, 300hp horsepower, and an impressive torque of 40.8kgm. Paired with the AWD all-wheel-drive system and a three-stage (Comfort, Sport, Advanced-Sport) electronic chassis response setting, it delivers the most sensitive and precise driving pleasure.

As a long-time fan of automotive technology, I find the transmissions used by Volvo quite advanced. Many of their models, such as the XC90 or S60, are equipped with 8-speed automatic transmissions, which are a mainstream choice—offering smooth shifting and fuel efficiency. From my research, it performs well in urban driving conditions without any jerky sensations. Additionally, Volvo has integrated electric motors and dedicated transmissions within their hybrid systems to enhance efficiency, with energy recovery making acceleration even smoother. Furthermore, some smaller models like the XC40 use 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions, which respond quickly and suit those who prefer sportier driving. In daily use, the transmissions are well-matched with the engines and have a low failure rate, though regular maintenance and oil changes are essential.

I've been driving Volvos for many years, and as a daily user, the transmission has always been straightforward for me. The current XC60 I drive has an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The manual mode offers freedom, but most of the time, the automatic mode handles everything effortlessly, making it comfortable in traffic jams. The hybrid version is even more impressive, with the transmission integrating electric assistance, offering both fuel efficiency and quiet operation. During business trips, its highway performance is stable, and I haven't heard of any major issues. An occasional fluid check is all it needs, making it perfect for family use.

My experience in car repair tells me that Volvo's transmissions are reliable. The common one is the 8-speed automatic transmission, used in models like the S90, which shifts smoothly and has fewer maintenance issues. With the hybrid version integrating an electric motor, wear and tear are reduced. When taking it to the workshop for inspection, just check the oil level, and regular oil changes can extend its lifespan.
