The Volvo V60 brings a sense of style that you’d associate with older models with the innovation and insight of today.
Based on the reliable S60 saloon, the V60 is a very sensible choice for anyone looking for a safe, spacious vehicle that won’t break the bank. With more than a decade on the roads, this car is a solid pick for anyone looking for a reliable car.
This blend of affordable running costs and modern appeal makes it ideal for a family car. If you are lucky enough to pick up one of the more recent models you’ll also enjoy the updated style for that is sure to turn heads on the road.
As a luxury estate the V60 is a little boxy, spacious and benefits from Volvo’s great reputation for safety.
It comes in a number of trim levels that scale in features as you move through the trims. The main trims that we look for are the Inscription with a leather interior trim and enhanced stereo, and the R Design that brings heated seats and keyless entry. You really can’t go wrong with any V60 though.
Driving this Volvo will give you a comfortable and enjoyable ride quality. Suspension is soft not to feel bumps on the road, steering is light and responsive, seats are supportive to avoid discomfort on longer trips. Altogether, you're up for a relaxing drive every time.
Manoeuvring in tighter spaces such as city centres is not a challenge given its somewhat compact dimensions for a car of this class. The light steering also helps with this.
You also have a choice of a wide range of engines to choose from that range from a smaller 1.6-litre all the way up to a 3.0-litre engine for those looking for something a bit more powerful. Most have the option of having an automatic transmission.
The Volvo V60 will comfortably seat five and offers plenty of legroom in the back. So adults sitting in the back over longer journeys will be comfortable.
Storage space throughout is also ample. With the glove box, door bins, cupholders and a 430-litre boot. While not class-leading it is more than enough to look after your needs day to day. No matter if you are just doing the shopping or trying to pack everything for a long weekend. The Volvo S60 offers more than enough.
Volvo has an excellent reputation for creating cars that put safety first. The V60 lives up to that reputation. Taking all five stars on the Euro NCAP crash test. During the 2018 facelift, the V60 also received a host of other safety upgrades enhancing its safety features on top of what you’d expect. Even to the point that there are safety features that can prevent a collision in the first place or stop you from veering off the road by automatically controlling the brakes and steering. No car manufacturer truly puts safety at the forefront of their decision making the way that Volvo does.
