Volvo XC60 Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Looks classy both inside and out	No seven-seat option
Efficient petrol and plug-in hybrid engines	Not exciting to drive
A very practical family vehicle	Pricier than many similarly sized SUVs

Quick Summary

The Volvo XC60 is the brand's best-selling model, establishing Volvo as a premium, SUV-led brand competing with Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The second-generation, on sale since 2017, received a comprehensive update for 2025, bringing a new, larger 11.2-inch touchscreen with Google-based infotainment, improved sound insulation, and high-quality interior materials. While it doesn't offer a seven-seat option or class-leading boot space (483 litres, 468 for PHEV), it provides generous passenger room and practical features like an electric tailgate.

Driving comfort is a key strength, especially on motorways, with smooth suspension and low noise levels, making it an excellent long-distance companion. The engine line-up is simplified to 2.0-litre petrol engines with electrification, including B5 mild-hybrid (247bhp) and T6 (346bhp) and T8 (451bhp) plug-in hybrids. Running costs are competitive, with D4 FWD diesels achieving 40-45mpg, B5 mild-hybrids around 35mpg, and PHEVs offering significant electric range (up to 50 miles for newer models) if regularly charged. Servicing costs are comparable to rivals, though PHEVs may incur higher insurance, and models over £40,000 are subject to the VED supplement.

Best for: Drivers seeking a safe, comfortable, and luxurious premium SUV with a distinctive Scandinavian feel; families needing a practical vehicle for long journeys; and those looking for efficient hybrid powertrains.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising sporty driving dynamics and agility; those needing a seven-seat SUV; or those on a strict budget, as it can be pricier than some alternatives.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XC60 if: You're seeking a safe, comfortable, and luxurious premium SUV with a distinctive Scandinavian feel, a practical family vehicle, or looking for efficient hybrid powertrains.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sporty driving dynamics and agility, need a seven-seat SUV, or are on a strict budget.

Competitive Position: The Volvo XC60 is a strong contender in the premium mid-size SUV segment, offering a lavish interior, exceptional comfort, and a focus on safety. While it may not be the sportiest to drive or offer a seven-seat option like some rivals, its blend of luxury, practicality, and efficient hybrid engines makes it a highly appealing choice. Its distinctive Scandinavian design sets it apart, providing a refreshing alternative to German competitors, especially for those prioritising refinement and a relaxing driving experience.
