It's a good workhorse and a good luxury car that is brilliant for a family. The AWD was important to get around in bad weather

The XC60 is a wonderful car for touring and the longer distances. The seats are very comfortable and you get a god all round view of other road users. The 2.4 engine is flexible and will give around 40-45 MPG; the 2.0 litre is much more economical and has a lower road tax.

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, on sale since 2017, received a comprehensive 2025 update featuring a larger 11.2-inch touchscreen with faster software, improved sound insulation, and refined styling. The cabin exemplifies Scandinavian minimalism with high-quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, and real metal trim, rivalling the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC for premium feel and refinement.
The XC60 excels in ride comfort and long-distance capability, with a suspension tuned for smoothness rather than sportiness. Engine options have been simplified to a 2.0-litre petrol with electrification: the B5 mild-hybrid (247bhp), T6 plug-in hybrid (346bhp), and T8 plug-in hybrid (451bhp). Practicality is strong with 483 litres of boot space (468 in PHEV), generous passenger room, and a 60:40 split rear seat. The B5 achieves around 35mpg in real-world driving, whilst PHEV versions offer up to 50 miles of electric range, though actual fuel consumption varies significantly depending on driving patterns and battery charge state.
Best for: Buyers seeking a luxurious, comfortable family SUV with Scandinavian design appeal, those prioritising ride comfort on motorways, and families wanting practical hybrid efficiency without sacrificing premium quality.
Not ideal for: Drivers wanting a sporty, engaging SUV, those requiring seven seats, or budget-conscious buyers seeking value over premium positioning.

| BMW X3 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 32.9% | 4.5/5 |
| Audi Q5 | 4/5 | 4.3/5 | 38.8% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the XC60 if: You seek a luxurious, comfortable family SUV with distinctive Scandinavian design, prioritise ride comfort on motorways, or want practical hybrid efficiency without compromising premium quality.
Consider alternatives if: You desire a sporty, engaging driving experience, require seven seats, or prioritise value over premium positioning.
Competitive Position: The Volvo XC60 is a strong contender in the premium mid-size SUV segment, offering a distinctive Scandinavian aesthetic and exceptional ride comfort that rivals the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. Whilst the BMW X3 edges ahead for driving dynamics and the Audi Q5 offers slightly better value, the XC60 distinguishes itself through its refined interior, efficient hybrid engines, and cosseting long-distance capability. It's the ideal choice for buyers who value comfort, design, and practicality over outright sportiness, making it a compelling alternative to more conventional German rivals.
