Volvo V60 Estate 2.0 B4 Ultra MY 25

from £369.19 per month

Volvo is famous for its estate cars, and while the Swedish brand temporarily tried to cull such cars from its UK line-up in favour of its SUV range, popular demand saw the trusty Volvo V90 and Volvo V60 load-luggers return

The Volvo V60 focuses on technology, practicality, and subtle Swedish design, making it a real competitor to the German establishment. Many of its rivals focus on driver appeal, but the Volvo takes a more comfort-oriented approach. We also like that the cabin design is brighter than that of its rivals from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes, and the quality throughout is impressive.

Prices for the V60 start from just under £44,000 for the mild-hybrid petrol and rise to just over £58,000 for the plug-in hybrid, which is more or less on par with rivals. The V60 trim range has been slimmed down to just Plus Dark and Ultra Dark. All versions come very well equipped, with the former Plus Dark coming with 19-inch alloys, an electric tailgate, sat-nav, leather trim, and blind spot monitoring. The Ultra Dark adds a panoramic glass roof, Harman Kardon sound system, and upgraded Pilot Assist driver assistance system with adaptive cruise control.
