Volvo V60 2020 review

The Volvo V60 is perhaps the best representation of how far Volvo has come in recent years. Why? Because it’s not an SUV - it’s a wagon. It’s a modern-day counter-argument to the XC40 and XC60 models that have impressed many over the past few years.

But is there a place for a mid-sized Volvo wagon? One that sits low to the ground and isn’t nearly as boxy as those of old?

The new-generation Volvo V60 is a luxurious family wagon for those who don’t want an SUV. It’s a conscientious objector’s car, for someone who wants to think outside the box - while also, in a weird way, thinking inside the box, too.

Had the pleasure of renting one on a trip into Swedish Lapland, north of the arctic circle. Best car I’ve ever driven, coped with arctic snow and ice with aplomb. When it started without issue after being parked overnight in -30 Celsius, that was the moment I decided that this would be my next car. Cannot recommend highly enough!

“You get wagons, and I love you for that”. Right on. I just don’t get SUV’s

While I hardly ever bother with voice commands in my XC-90, a quick way to adjust the temperature with the Volvo infotainment system is just to press the button and say, "set the temperature to X, " or even, "I'm too hot, " and it will adjust the temperature down in two degree increments. Pretty neat feature.

Actually using the touchscreen for the car climate has been the best experience I've had in any car. The buttons are huge, you choose the temperature in the way that is more convenient to you (arrows, sliders, direct touch on scale...) and overall it is very intuitive.
And you still have the real buttons to quickly clean a fogged up window.
(a very happy v60 owner here :D )

I have the T8 version and I’m very happy with it !

even their trucks are world-class and this is car mate.

[Michael_Mears]

I like how you knew I wanted to know about the wagon and not the sedan. Very clever.

[MrTwinkie]

6:03 the R-Design package does not give you more power. You have pick pick a T6 if you want more power than the T5

Beautiful looking car, nailed the styling. Operating costs keep me away from them though.

[karlp]

This car is $30, 000 cheaper than the equivalent Mercedes (E250). Wow, that's good value.

[sticksman]

I've owned 2 Volvo's and they've both been exceptional.nowadays I find myself torn between this Volvo, Mazda 6 estate GT nav + or VW Passat R line.anyone driven all 3 of these?if so what's your thoughts? I've heard so many good things about the Mazda 6.

[afitzsimons]

Just tell the car what temp you want, how hard is that?

[Flemish]

Iam going 2 buy one. Thx for the info! Grtz

[maxregal]

Ignore those prices. Nobody needs to pay MSRP on a Volvo. Volvo seems to have one of the most fluid pricing structures of all brands in Australia. Once you have gotten a good deal find yourself a good independent mechanic because Volvo servicing is ridiculously expensive.

[gregburville]

Love that 3 year warranty. Do Volvo still stitch you up with the servicing costs?

[StallALSA]

You can talk to this CAR to set the tempe. Just day » sett temp . 18 c `, this works fine in my car !

[adamcrain-MTB]

The auto transmission is junk, I'm shocked that you think "they got it right" its so wrong! I've owned a V60 for the last 4 months - that is my biggest issue with it. Put a 6spd in it and I'd love it - I almost didn't buy it because of the auto box.

[siam]

Actually the volvos are Just soo good loking for me there Just more beautyful than an audi

[julianevans]

First-time viewer - good review.
Couple of thoughts: Most importantly, ditch the music. Adds nothing, sounds dated and cheesy, and quickly becomes irritating.
Maybe convert KW to BHP (just a note on the screen) if you want to gain an international audience (I've no idea what a KW is worth).

[JogBird]

nice cars but the maintenance cars are so expensive
