Volvo XC60 review: Why this SUV became its biggest-ever hit
A week-long test finds the updated SUV’s plug-in hybrid system delivers 449bhp and helps explain why it became Volvo’s best-selling model.
- Volvo's XC60, the brand's best-selling model since its 2008 launch, recently received updates that cement its reputation as a roomy, safe, and reliable SUV for families seeking practicality.
- The interior features elegant styling and remarkable material quality that outshines German rivals, though the cabin lacks physical buttons and wireless Apple CarPlay support, limiting user control.
- Performance benefits from the PHEV system, which Volvo claims delivers up to 51 miles of electric range, though real-world driving typically falls short of this manufacturer estimate.
- Buyers can purchase an XC60 for less than £50,000, though adding the PHEV system costs around £3,000 more; premium versions approach £70,000, offering one of the market's finest SUVs.
- Families will appreciate 483 litres of boot space and convenient overnight home Charging for the hybrid battery, making the XC60 practical for daily use. Budget for 30–35 mpg equivalency.
