Vehicle Overview

Volvo surprised some in the auto industry and thrilled many wagon enthusiasts when it introduced the V60 wagon as a 2015 model, injecting new life into what had been a dying market segment. For Volvo, the V60 was a return to familiar territory: Wagons were key players in its lineup for decades.

The V60 is based on the S60 sedan, seats five and has a 40/20/40-split rear seat designed for easy folding. It is available with front-wheel drive as the T5 Drive-E and with all-wheel drive as the performance-oriented R-Design, limited-edition Polestar and quasi-SUV Cross Country. Competitors include the Audi Allroad, BMW 3 Series wagon and Subaru Outback.

(Skip to details on the: V60 Cross Country)

    Love this car.

    This car is perfect for me. I didn't want an SUV, but wanted decent cargo space. This is a great size wagon with plenty of space. Love it!

    Very good comuter car

    This is a small wagon chosen because I did no want a SUV but did want some space for hauling boxes. Volvo has not been a brand I've paid attention to, was surprised at how good it is to drive. Gas mileage is moderate but that probably a result of my driving style. The negatives: the AC is weak in this climate; the car is very nervous about any fixed object. Guess no one in Sweden parks facing a wall, pulls up to a curb next to a tree or goes up or down a sharply inclined driveway. Have turned off most of the proximity warning system because they're way too sensitive.

    I love this car

    I purchased this Volvo because I had driven a similar model on vacation a year and a half ago and fell in love with it then. Although the acceleration speed does always bother my wife, the handling allows us to go on curvy roads and now her car sickness is almost non existent.

    there is only one item about the car I questioned, e.g., gas mileage was way below posted..... also, the multi function center dash screen too complicated.

    Reliable as a Volvo

    I really like volvo for the safety and the fact that the interior is purified. Not too many gadget, buttons, or other things that disturbed you from driving. I love this car for the wagon style even if honestly the volume is smaller than some other wagon. However, the T5 270hp with all the features, easy maintenance and very quiet is a pleasure. For sure, will look for a Polestar as next one

    Great car!

    For a "wagon" it's a really fun car to drive. Very understated styling, not like the cookie cutters out there. The T5 is a very responsive engine with power to spare. Lots of car for the bucks, and all wheel drive!

    When you need an SUV but don't want an SUV.

    SUVs are great, and they are certainly popular. But if you want car-like perfomance, handling, comfort and price, with cargo capacity similar to an SUV, the V60 should be at the top of your shopping list.

    Very good design

    We bought the car in April 2016, after having driven Toyota Solara for 12 years. On general my wife and I like it a lot but there are several issues: 1. For the price Volvo could have offered automatic closing of the trunk 2. The design makes the back of the car very dirty, especially in the winter. A related problem is the backup camera that in the winter is constantly dirty and consequently useless. 3. I have frequent issues with connecting my iPhone through the USB port- the car keeps unrecognizing the phone and consequently making it impossible to operate music through the buttons at the wheel After eight months no problem with driving and it's super comfortable on long distances- like over a thousand km.

    Glad That I Bought It!

    My old V70 turned 251,000 miles and needed two major repairs in the same month so it was time to look for a new wagon. The V60 was on my radar, but I had not done much research on it. After reading what I could about it I went and drove one and loved it. I did drive a Golf Sportwagon and an Alltrack to compare. The Sportwagon just did not have the same quality as the V60 and I really didn't want an AWD vehicle. I've been driving the V60 for 3 weeks now and love it. Since my V70 was ancient I had to get used to modern conveniences which are very nice in the V60. My car does not have BLIS or a backup camera so I can't comment on them but I will say that I don't miss them either. There is a button in the front console that controls the rear seat headrests so you can lower them when there are no passengers, nicely increasing the rear view which is good since the side windows at the back are small. This car did have the climate package which is very nice as it heats the front windshield and keeps ice from accumulating on the wipers in a snowstorm, also the steering wheel is heated and the rear passenger seats have seat heaters. It has plenty of head room and adequate cargo capacity. Plenty of room for a dump run. I am disappointed that I have to buy a new Thule rack to carry my kayaks due to the integrated roof rails. My commute is 50:50 local driving:highway. So far I am averaging 31 MPG. As to reliablility I gave it an average score because it is a new car. Maybe in a year or two I'll update this. One comment about the back seat. It is very comfortable seat wise. There is plenty of length for the thigh, but passengers sitting behind the driver end up with their feet under the seat if the driver is tall. It is a great car for a couple or maybe a family with one child. It would be a small vehicle for a larger family. It has good pick up and a decent turning radius. I salute Volvo for continuing to produce front wheel drive wagons!
