Volvo V60 (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Crisp styling inside and out	VW Passat and Skoda Superb offer bigger boots
Supreme long-distance comfort	A 3 Series is more exciting to drive
An interesting alternative to a BMW or Mercedes	Interior quality good rather than sparkling

Quick Summary

The Volvo V60 (2018-present) is a stylish and practical estate car, upholding Volvo's reputation for safety and design. Positioned against premium German rivals like the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant, it offers crisp styling, useful technology, and a comfortable, refined driving experience. Its 529-litre boot (expanding to 1,441 litres) and generous passenger space make it highly practical for families, though ultimate load capacity is surpassed by some rivals like the Skoda Superb Estate.

All V60s feature an eight-speed automatic gearbox, with a range of petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid (Recharge) powertrains, some offering all-wheel drive. While not the most engaging to drive, it excels in long-distance comfort and effortless cruising. Running costs are competitive, especially for PHEV models or efficient diesels, and comprehensive standard safety equipment contributes to reasonable insurance. It represents a desirable alternative for those seeking sophistication, space, and a relaxed driving approach.

Best for: Drivers who value sophisticated design, plentiful standard equipment, long-distance comfort, and safety, or seek a practical and stylish estate car that stands out from German rivals.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising ultimate driving excitement (like a BMW 3 Series Touring) or requiring the absolute largest boot capacity (like a Skoda Superb Estate).
