Which is the most popular engine in the Volvo V60?

Even though the diesel models weren't offered in the final years of production, they are the most popular among used V60 models. With efficiency ratings of up to 55.4mpg, the diesel motors are among the cheapest to run.

Which are the most popular model variants?

Volvo offered several model variants during the production of the V60, including Momentum, Momentum Pro, R-Design, R-Design Pro and Inscription. The Momentum is a top choice for budget-conscious shoppers with its standard automatic LED headlights, Bluetooth and automatic emergency braking system, while the Sporty R-Design is also popular because of the half-leather sports seats and special styling.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Those looking for a more premium experience will want the Nappa perforated leather upholstery. It is also possible to find electrically adjustable front seats and a heated steering wheel. The head-up display is also worth looking out for.

Is the Volvo V60 a good family car?

Yes, with more boot space than the comparable S60 saloon, the V60 makes a great choice for busy families. The back seat accommodates tall adults, while the boot space is able to hold several suitcases with ease.

Is there a hybrid version of the Volvo V60?

Before the V60 was discontinued in 2023, Volvo released several hybrid options. The mild-hybrid B3 and B4 variants use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder, and there is also the 345bhp PHEV T6, which provides up to 54 miles of electric-only driving.

Is the Volvo V60 available as an automatic?

Yes, the V60 has been available with an automatic or a manual gearbox. Among used car models, the automatic transmission tends to be more popular and easier to find.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Volvo built the V60 with an available four-wheel drive configuration for added traction and stability. However, the majority of used V60 models come equipped with front-wheel drive.

Used Volvo V60 buying guide

Engines and transmissions

Volvo offered many options through the years of V60 production, with petrol, hybrid or diesel engines, automatic or manual gearboxes, and front-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Petrol

Mild-hybrid B3 and B4 variants use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine to produce 160bhp or 194bhp, with an efficiency rating of between 44.8 and 45.6mpg.
PHEV T6 generates 335bhp for a 0-62mph time of 5.2 seconds and a maximum speed of 112mph, allowing for up to 54 miles of electric-only driving.
T8 twin-engine hybrid produces an impressive 385bhp combined and around 30 miles electric-only driving.
Older 2.0-litre petrol engine creates 246bhp for a 0-60mph time of 6.4 seconds, with an efficiency rating of around 43mpg.

Diesel

D3 produces 147bhp with a 0-60mph time of 9.6 seconds and an efficiency rating of up to 55.4mpg.
D4 creates 187bhp for a 0-60mph time of 7.6 seconds, offering the same efficiency rating of around 55.4mpg.

Practicality

The Volvo V60 is a more practical version of the S60, creating ample room for passengers and cargo alike.

Interior space

Front seats are supportive and comfortable with newer models including in-seat heating.
Rear seats hold tall adults with ease with plenty of legroom to spare.
Available four-zone climate control helps to keep all passengers comfortable.
Rear ISOFIX mounting points for child seats are easy to find and access.

Boot space

519-litre boot is larger than the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant.
Folding down the rear seats increases the space to 1,441 litres.
Volvo includes a low boot floor, no lip and tie-down points for easier cargo carrying.
Available hands-free tailgate opening and closing helps when hands are full.

Bodystyles

V60 is the estate version of the S60 saloon.
V60 Cross Country is the off-road variant.

Safety

2018 Euro NCAP testing gave a perfect five-star rating.
Adult occupant rating was 96%, while the child occupant rating was 84%.
Standard safety kit includes dual-stage front airbags, full-length curtain airbags and an autonomous emergency braking system.

Technology

12.3-inch digital instrument cluster replaces the older-style rev counter and speedometer.
9.0-inch infotainment screen sits in the centre of the dashboard, providing compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
DAB radio is included with a standard 10-speaker sound system or an available 13-speaker Harman Kardon setup.
