2020 Volvo V60 Preview summaryImage

In 2019, Volvo redesigned its compact V60 wagon. For 2020, the V60 gets several updates, including the addition of the Cross Country and Polestar Engineered trims.

The V60 is available with three powertrains. The T5 includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that makes 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to an 8-speed automatic transmission. While front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard, all-wheel drive (AWD) is available. The T5 delivers fuel economy as high as 23 mpg city, 34 highway, and 27 combined on premium fuel.

The T6 employs a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged inline 4-cylinder engine that makes 316 hp and 295 lb-ft and comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. Fuel economy stands at 22, 31 and 25.

Finally, the all-new T8 Polestar Engineered package arrives for 2020. It’s a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that comes with the same engine as the T6, but with an electric motor and battery, making a total 415 hp and 494 lb-ft, and standard AWD. The fuel-economy ratings and all-electric range aren’t available as of this writing.

The Momentum trim defines the V60’s standard content, which includes LED active headlights, an 8-inch driver display, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and 18-inch wheels. The R-Design trim comes with paddle shifters, sporty styling, and some track-optimized features, while the Inscription grade focuses on luxury and refinement. With the Cross Country trim, you get as many as 3 inches of increased ground clearance, AWD, rugged black-plastic lower cladding, an off-road driving mode, and some unique design touches. The Polestar Engineered gets added performance goodies like bigger brakes, improved suspension, and a unique exhaust setup.

Every V60 comes standard with a reversing camera, oncoming-lane mitigation, lane-keeping assistance, and rain-sensing wipers. Options include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic braking. Neither the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has evaluated the current V60.

The Volvo V60 offers plenty of space and the latest tech features.

Drives great with a minimum of issues over our almost 3 years/32000 miles of ownership. Control screen does take 10-15 seconds to boot up which has been covered already by many. Not a huge deal but there must be a faster option… Overall been very satisfied. Mar 06, 2022
