Used 2020 Volvo V60 for sale 

The 2020 Volvo V60 wagon is the smaller version of the larger V90 wagon. It shares most of its underpinnings with most of the Volvo models like the XC90, XC60 and S60 sedan. The T5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and sends power to either the front or all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

We Recommend

We would recommend the Momentum trim as it comes with an array of standard features and is available at a competitive price. Here, you can choose the options you like and move on in case you do not need some features. 

The Volvo V60 comes with two engine options, the standard T5 and the performance loaded T6. The T5 powertrain returns 250 hp and 250 lb feet of torque. A supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine churns out 316 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, which has more than enough power for your daily driving needs. It comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission that offers smooth shifts.

Both engines come mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels and four-wheel drive is optional. The T6 engine always has extra power when you need it, and the gearbox manages to keep the right gear, whether you're in Standard mode or Dynamic mode.

The Audi Allroad have better power delivery when compared to the Volvo V60 and the Audi also produces more torque. The Subaru Outback and VW golf are way down in terms of power output but the price difference is significant.

The bigger engine which produces 316hp is capable of sprinting the V60 from 0 to 60 in just 5.5 seconds which is faster than most of the competitors. However, the standard engine can take 6.5 seconds to go 60 mph from standstill.

How is Volvo V60 to drive?

The spirited exterior design of V60 is complemented by the dynamic performance of the turbocharged T5 engine. In the front, there’s double wishbone suspension and in the rear, you’ll find a multilink suspension which makes the ride well composed throughout. The ride is firm with the adaptive dampers, yet the body is stable while cornering. Steering is also well weighted and it doesn’t feel slippery while turning the car. 

There are four driving modes on offer- Eco, Comfort, Dynamic, helping you with better engagement in terms of which helps you to manipulate engine power, automatic gearbox, steering, brakes, stability control system.You can even create your own combination with Individual mode. The tailor-made all-wheel drive system is the best fit for wet and winter roads and it also provides better traction. 

How impactful is Volvo V60 braking?

The brake feel is soft yet they feel powerful. Volvo V60‘s braking turns out to be consistent with repetitive use and brings in riding confidence. It is easy to control around the city and on highways. At times, it feels like driving a Sedan, such composed it is. The V60 comes equipped with an emergency braking system that automatically activates maximum braking in some scenarios such as head-on collision. 

There is not much of a difference in terms of braking performance, but you can consider VW as the best performer here because of low curb weight.

The Volvo’s turbocharged engine that churns out 316 hp is able to return 24 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Its bigger supercharged and turbocharged engine is capable of returning 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The supercharged engine brings out lower estimates because of high power output and throttle. 

The figures obtained by V60 beats the Audi A4allroad, while the Subaru and Volkswagen deliver almost the same numbers despite of underpowered engines.

The front seats offer great support and room from all corners of the V60 wagon. The big bolsters surrounding it do not disturb much but offer decent support to the passengers. The seats are large enough to accommodate 6-occupants easily. The cabin roll is not a big issue in the V60 as the suspension setup is firm. You can feel some potholes inside the cabin. In order to cover this up, Volvo has massaging seats in the top-end trim, “Inscription”, which is meant to add better comfort.

The rear seats follow the same suit. They are large in size and offer decent thigh support. Furthermore, the legroom is large enough and doesn’t make changes to your comfort level. Three full-size adults can occupy the rear seats comfortably. The wagon-structure of the cabin coupled with the panoramic sunroof makes the cabin very airy. The overall cabin is big and wide. However, there is a catch here, the Volvo V60 is a low slung car. Tall and wide-opening rear doors allow the tall passengers to get in-out easily.

The center console comes with a slide-in drawer that can accommodate small items of a smartphone size. At the rear seatback, you’ll find the capacity of 23 cu.ft that overshadows some of its rivals. Upon folding the rear seats, you get enormous cargo area of 51 cu.ft. However, the A4 Allroad offers a bigger cargo space (58 cu.ft.).
