It’s the company’s smallest estate car, but it still packs a punch when it comes to boot space.

Pick the second-generation model and you’ll also get one of the plushest models in its class.

Volvo V60 history

Following the success of the insanely practical V70 estate, Volvo launched the updated V60 model in 2010. Stacks of style came with the launch of the second-generation model.

> Volvo V60 Cross Country (2015) - rugged-looking model with slightly raised ride height and plastic body protection, also available with four-wheel drive

> Second-generation Volvo V60 (2018) - with sharp looks similar to the rest of Volvo’s range and even more interior space, this iteration is a noticeable step up in quality

> Volvo V60 facelift (2022) - introduction of new trim levels (Core, Plus and Ultimate) with some subtle design tweaks

What features does the Volvo V60 have?

If you’re looking for a used second-generation Volvo V60 for sale, expect LED headlights, a powered boot lid, dual-zone climate control with an integrated air-quality system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a nine-inch portrait infotainment display and rear parking sensors.

Look out for the Momentum Pro, an affordable upgrade that adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and active bending LED headlights for better road illumination.

Some optional extras worth looking out for include a tilt-and-slide panoramic glass sunroof, 360-degree parking cameras and upgraded sound systems from Harman/Kardon or Bowers & Wilkins.

Is the Volvo V60 reliable?

Yes, the Volvo V60 is known to be a reliable car. It has its own unique looks, but it shares its engines and gearboxes with other Volvo models that have been around since at least 2015, so everything is tried and tested.

The V60 also lives up to the Swedish manufacturer’s name for safety, with pedestrian, cyclist and animal detection for the AEB system and even some self-driving tech like a steering assist.

How much does the Volvo V60 cost to run?

Many drivers will opt for a diesel model for the best fuel economy, but Volvo also sells petrol engines.

They’re all 2.0-litre units, which helps keep costs reasonable, and newer V60s come with mild hybrid tech to reduce emissions. You can spot these with their ‘B’ engine badges, rather than ‘T’ (petrol) or ‘D’ (diesel).

There are also two plug-in hybrid models – they’re extremely quick, but still offer as much as 50 miles of electric range, depending on model year.

Who is the Volvo V60 suitable for?

A used Volvo V60 for sale is a strong choice for a family estate – it’s as luxurious as a BMW 3 Series Touring, Mercedes C-Class Estate or Audi A4 Avant.

It’s also a common pick among company car drivers, because it’s effortlessly comfortable on a long run, offers decent fuel economy and has a big boot for carrying work gear.
