Volvo V60 Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Crisp styling inside and out	VW Passat and Skoda Superb offer bigger boots
Supreme long-distance comfort	A BMW 3 Series Touring is nicer to drive
An interesting alternative to a BMW or Mercedes	The V60 is starting to feel its age

Quick Summary

The Volvo V60 is a sophisticated and stylish estate car that prioritises comfort, practicality and understated elegance. With 529 litres of boot space (1,441 litres with rear seats folded), it offers ample luggage capacity for most journeys. The current B4 mild-hybrid petrol engine delivers 194bhp with respectable fuel economy of 37.6-44.1mpg. The V60 excels in passenger space, offering more headroom and legroom than rivals like the Audi A5 Avant, BMW 3 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate. Safety is paramount, with comprehensive active and passive systems including City Safety with automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree parking camera.

The V60 is not an engaging driver's car, but rather a refined, laid-back cruiser that handles itself well without fuss. Its interior is beautifully detailed with a 9.0-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital display, whilst two trim levels (Plus and Ultra) keep the range straightforward. However, at eight years into its lifecycle, the V60 is beginning to show its age compared to newer rivals. Running costs are reasonable, though VED is higher due to the £40,000 luxury car tax threshold. It remains an excellent choice for those seeking a premium alternative to German marques, with desirable Volvo styling and class throughout.

Best for: Buyers seeking a comfortable, stylish estate car with premium appeal, those prioritising long-distance comfort and practicality, and drivers wanting an interesting alternative to BMW or Mercedes.

Not ideal for: Those requiring the largest possible boot, drivers seeking engaging handling dynamics, or buyers wanting the latest technology and design.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the V60 if: You seek a comfortable, stylish estate car with premium appeal, prioritise long-distance comfort and practicality, or want an interesting alternative to German marques.

Consider alternatives if: You require the largest possible boot space, seek engaging handling dynamics, or want the latest technology and design.

Competitive Position: The Volvo V60 holds its own in the premium estate car segment, offering distinctive Scandinavian styling and supreme comfort that sets it apart from German rivals. Whilst the BMW 3 Series Touring edges ahead for driving dynamics and the Skoda Superb offers more boot space at a lower price point, the V60 delivers a compelling blend of sophistication, practicality and class. The Audi A5 Avant, though highly rated by users, commands a premium with fewer good deals available. For buyers valuing refined comfort and understated elegance over sportiness, the V60 remains a compelling choice, though its age means newer rivals may offer fresher technology and design.
