The Volvo V60 T5 comes in at a reasonable price of $60,990 plus on-road costs, and for that sum there is also a fairly healthy list of standard equipment.
Highlights of the V60 T5 Luxury include 18-inch alloy wheels, Volvo’s Dynamic chassis, bi-xenon headlights, puddlelights, foglights, satellite navigation, leather trim, a configurable digital instrument cluster, 10-speaker stereo system, reverse-view camera and rear parking sensors, and Volvo’s standard City Safety autonomous emergency braking system. There have already been a few interesting tales on that technology â€" we’ll see how it fares over the next few months.
Its wagon body means it will make for a welcome buddy for those of us in the office who have kids â€" especially littlies, as the V60 gets Volvo’s clever integrated outboard booster seats in the back row. The practical body means those who like to take their pushbikes or surfboards with them will be well served, too.
As such, the main ‘custodians’ of this long-term loan Volvo are CA’s national sales director, Benn Sykes, who recently had a new bub and doesn’t mind throwing a board in the back, and founder Anthony Crawford, who will tell anyone who’ll listen about his nine-foot one-inch long board.
The guys will be living with the car over the coming months, trying to get a grip on whether the CarAdvice editorial team got it right when choosing this Volvo variant over all other options.
