Volvo XC60 (2025) 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 a premium mid-size SUV that has established itself as one of the world's best-selling models in its class. The second-generation XC60, launched in 2017 and updated for 2025, represents Volvo's successful repositioning as a premium, SUV-led brand capable of competing with Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The 2025 facelift brings a larger 11.2-inch touchscreen with faster software, improved sound insulation, and refined styling, whilst maintaining the clean, minimalist Scandinavian cabin that defines the model's appeal.

The XC60 excels in ride comfort and long-distance refinement, with a suspension tuned for smoothness rather than sportiness. The modern engine line-up features a 2.0-litre petrol with electrification across all versions: the B5 mild-hybrid (247bhp), T6 plug-in hybrid (346bhp), and range-topping T8 plug-in hybrid (451bhp). Practicality is strong with 483 litres of boot space, spacious rear legroom, and a 60:40 split-folding rear seat. Running costs are competitive for the class, with the B5 achieving around 35mpg in real-world driving, whilst plug-in hybrids offer electric range of up to 50 miles when fully charged.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium, comfortable family SUV with Scandinavian design appeal, those prioritising ride comfort and refinement on long journeys, and families wanting efficient hybrid technology.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting a sporty, engaging SUV, those requiring seven seats, or budget-conscious buyers seeking the most affordable option in the premium SUV segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the XC60 if: You seek a premium, comfortable family SUV with distinctive Scandinavian design, prioritise ride refinement and long-distance comfort, or want efficient hybrid technology with practical family space.

Consider alternatives if: You desire a sporty, engaging driving experience, require seven seats, or want the most affordable option in the premium SUV segment.

Competitive Position: The Volvo XC60 is a strong contender in the premium mid-size SUV market, offering a distinctive blend of Scandinavian luxury, comfort, and practicality. Whilst the BMW X3 edges ahead on driving dynamics and the Mercedes-Benz GLC offers slightly more boot space, the XC60 stands out for its refined interior, efficient hybrid engines, and exceptional ride quality. It's the ideal choice for buyers who value understated elegance and long-distance comfort over sportiness, making it a compelling alternative to its German rivals for those seeking a more relaxed, cosseting driving experience.
