Design & Presence

The V60 blends classic estate proportions with clean Scandinavian detailing, so it looks purposeful without shouting for attention. At 4,778 mm long and 1,850 mm wide it feels substantial on the road yet avoids the bulk of a full-size wagon. Signature Thor's hammer lights and a coupe-like roofline give a quietly sporty stance that suits both family duties and weekend escapes. The overall effect is elegant rather than aggressive — a grown-up alternative to SUV flashiness.

Interior & Usability

Inside the cabin the V60 leans on high-quality materials and a restrained layout where leather, soft-touch plastics and precise seams dominate the sensory impression. The portrait touchscreen and a clear instrument display keep controls mostly intuitive, while physical shortcuts remain for frequently used functions to avoid distracting dives into menus. Seating is supportive with good long-distance comfort for five, and ambient quietness is strong thanks to solid insulation and well-damped doors. Small practical details — decent armrests, sensible switchgear and a useful centre console — make daily life easier.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Cargo capacity is a convincing part of the V60 story, with a usable boot of 519 litres that expands to 1,431 litres with the rear seats down, which fits luggage for a family holiday or several large DIY trips. A 60-litre fuel tank and a low loading lip make trips and supermarket runs straightforward, although plug-in hybrid packaging nudges weights up and can slightly change loading geometry. Seats fold flat easily and there's thoughtful storage around the cabin for phones, bottles and smaller items. For five passengers on routine journeys the space and ergonomics hit a comfortable, practical sweet spot.

Driving & Handling

The chassis favours composure over theatrical handling, turning the V60 into a calm long-distance cruiser that still holds corners with tidy body control and predictable responses. Powertrains range from a 197 hp B4 petrol mild-hybrid (0–100 km/h ~ 7.6 s) to sharper plug-in hybrids producing 350 hp and 455 hp with all-wheel drive and 0–100 km/h in roughly 5.4 s and 4.6 s respectively, so acceleration choices suit both efficient commuters and those wanting brisk performance. Heavier curb weights — from about 1,734 to 2,064 kg — are noticeable in tight city maneuvers but the steering is well-weighted for everyday confidence. Suspension tuning aims for a balance: comfortable on motorway miles, controlled when the road starts to demand more.

Efficiency, Consumption & Electric Range

Efficiency varies by drivetrain: the B4 MHEV is rated around 6.2 L/100 km in combined figures, while the plug-in hybrids claim very low combined consumption (2.4 L/100 km) when charged regularly, thanks to an electric range of around 92 km from a 14.7 kWh battery. In everyday use the PHEV's 92 km electric range covers most commutes and cuts fuel bills, but that low combined consumption only appears if charging is frequent; long, uncharged trips revert to higher petrol usage and added weight impacts economy. CO2 and real-world efficiency depend heavily on driving patterns — city commuters who charge will see the biggest benefits. Choosing the right version comes down to typical journey length and access to charging.

Assistance, Safety & Infotainment

Volvo’s safety credentials carry through with a comprehensive driver-assist package that includes adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aids and a capable semi-autonomous pilot assist for relaxed motorway work. The infotainment system uses a large portrait touchscreen with connected services and over-the-air updates, and it supports smartphone integration for day-to-day connectivity and navigation. Active safety hardware and detailed driver alerts are calibrated to reduce fatigue and intervene when necessary, reflecting Volvo’s emphasis on occupant protection. The user interface can be feature-rich, so a quick familiarisation helps unlock its convenience during regular use.

Who Is It For?

The V60 suits buyers who want the practicality of an estate with a premium, understated character rather than SUV dominance — families, professionals and anyone who values safety and comfort. The B4 petrol MHEV will appeal to primarily motorway drivers seeking refined running without charging infrastructure, while the T6 and T8 plug-in hybrids work well for commuters with home or workplace charging who want strong performance and the chance to drive on electric power for daily trips. Competitors include premium compact estates and crossover alternatives, but the V60’s combination of style, safety and usable load space keeps it a compelling, well-rounded choice.
