    Volvo V60 Review, For Sale, Colours, Specs & Models in Australia

    Passenger cars might be bleeding sales to SUVs, but that doesn’t mean there still aren’t a few cool wagons available in Australia.

    The second-generation Volvo V60 entered the local market in late 2019 in various forms, but is now only offered in a single Ultimate Cross Country trim.

    Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 192kW/400Nm at its disposal and equipped with sleek Swedish styling, the Volvo V60 offers a tempting alternative to a family SUV.

    The line-up currently starts at $74,990 for the V60 Ultra B5 Cross Country Mhev and ranges through to $74,990 for the range-topping V60 Ultra B5 Cross Country Mhev.

    Volvo V60 Engine

    The V60 is powered by a 2.0-litre, all-alloy, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 183kW (from 5400-5700rpm) and 350Nm (between 1800-4800rpm). Drive goes to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission then a computer controlled Haldex AWD system built around a high-pressure hydraulic pump and multi-plate transfer clutch pack. 

    A starter/generator unit recovers kinetic energy from vehicle braking and stores it in a small 48V battery. The system is then able to pull power from the generator, assisting the engine with a 10kW/40Nm boost, especially when starting off from rest and under acceleration.

    The Volvo V60 Cross Country seats five, with back row seat split-folding 40/20/40 to increase cargo capacity.

    Volvo V60 Interior

    The Volvo V60 Cross Country’s interior is understated, yet there’s plenty of visual interest thanks to the multi-layered dash, mixing soft-touch plastics and brushed metal elements with trimmed and stitched insert panels. A portrait-oriented central multimedia screen and customisable digital instrument cluster add just the right amount of techiness, with a common-sense mix of digital and physical controls attached to various functions.
