Volvo V60 review: Classy and understated plug-in hybrid estate

Despite being launched in 2018, the Volvo V60 remains a good-looking machine. Yes, it’s a mid-size estate car, but there’s more than a little ‘shooting brake’ cool to it. It’s cool beneath the surface too, thanks to its advanced plug-in hybrid tech that gives it a useful EV range of nearly 60 miles. Fuel economy will be better than a similarly-sized SUV when the battery is exhausted.

Volvo said it pulled the V60 from its line-up in response to changing customer preferences. But now, it’s back, due to “renewed interest in the bodystyle” as people were reminded of the many strengths a traditional estate car still offers. Common sense prevails.
