The purity of line and purpose that epitomises good Scandinavian design defines the Volvo V60. Dynamic and elegant, it is a wagon car that projects confidence.

The V60 has LED headlights that create a strong identity, and give you the best possible view at night. The T-shaped light signature radiates strength, and LED Illumination technology switches between dipped and full beam to provide the best view and avoid dazzling road users. Our range-topping Full-LED Active High Beam Illumination technology adapts the light pattern on full beam, giving you a larger area of light, and includes Active Bending Lights that turn in the same direction as the steering wheel (up to 30? in either direction), for a better view through corners.

The V60 has one of the most practical interiors in its segment. Slim front seat backrests and sculpted rear seats help to provide excellent rear legroom, while maintaining comfort and support. The load compartment has a volume of 529 litres up to the top of the rear backrest, including the storage compartment under the floor, and up to 1441 litres when both parts of the rear backrest are folded.

The power-operated tailgate for the V60 makes loading and unloading easier. You can open or close the tailgate using a button on the car's remote control, tailgate or dashboard. Combined with the keyless entry option, it also offers a hands-free function that allows you to open or shut the tailgate simply by moving your foot under the rear bumper.

Many of the functions in the V60 are controlled from the centre touch screen, which blends sleek design with ease of use. Designed to reduce distraction, it has bold, clear graphics and a vertical format makes reading information and maps especially easy. The 9-inch screen is so responsive that you can use it wearing gloves, while the surface has a special coating that reduces glare.

The interior of the V60 is designed to delight, with a sleek centre touch screen and distinctive air vents featuring a vertical central strip with a metal finish. There are diamond-pattern finishes for the air vents’ control knobs, starter button, driving mode rotary controller and steering wheel controls.

The materials used in the cabin of the V60 enhance the feeling of modern Swedish luxury. Inscription trim includes decor in Driftwood – a unique wood treatment that is satisfying to look at and touch.

With a chassis that provides exceptional control, the V60 has a dynamic character. The front suspension is a double-wishbone layout, while the rear features Volvo Cars' innovative 'integral link' set-up. Advanced, lightweight materials are used throughout, reducing overall weight and ensuring sharp responses. As well as providing a sporty feel, the V60 delivers a ride that provides excellent comfort over any road.

The optional Four-C active chassis is an electronically controlled damping system that makes the V60 even more adept. It makes up to 500 calculations per second to assess current road conditions and driving style, adapting the responses of the shock absorbers to provide the optimum balance of comfort and control.

When switching between the car's drive modes, the Four-C system also adjusts the suspension characteristics. Comfort mode prioritises a smooth ride, while Dynamic mode sharpens the steering response and handling. Individual mode allows you to create your own combination of settings.

The optional Bowers & Wilkins audio is the top-level sound system for the V60. A collaboration with the acclaimed audio manufacturer, it delivers 1100 watts to its 15 speakers, including a unique air-ventilated subwoofer that provides powerful bass tones. Each speaker is positioned to optimise acoustics, and there is a dashboard-mounted tweeter to cut down acoustic reflection from the windscreen.

Three different room modes allow you to tailor the sound to your music or mood, while visual details such as stainless steel speaker panels, Bowers & Wilkins logos and yellow speaker cones create an exclusive impression.

Every V60 provides strong performance, thanks to our state-of-the-art petrol engines. Each one is a compact, lightweight four-cylinder unit that keeps weight at the front of the car to a minimum, to improve handling agility. Low-friction technology helps to balance smooth power with exceptional efficiency, giving you responsive acceleration with low fuel consumption and emissions. The top-of-the-line T8 engine has a supercharger and turbocharger, for even stronger low-rev responses.

Safety is at the heart of every Volvo car, and the features that make the V60 a safe place for you and your passengers are the result of decades of innovation. Ultra high-strength boron steel – one of the strongest types of steel available – forms a rigid safety cell around the car's occupants, while crumple zones front and rear dissipate as much energy as possible away from the passenger cell in the event of a collision.

Run-off road Mitigation helps make accidents where a car leaves the road – a common type of accident – less likely to happen. It detects if the car is about to leave the road unintentionally between 65-140km/h and then uses steering and, if necessary, brake support to guide the car back on the right route.

If the car does leave the road, Run-off Road Protection – another Volvo Cars innovation – reduces the chances of serious injury. It features an energy-absorbing structure in the front seat frames that cushions vertical impact in the event of a hard landing. In addition, optional safety belts will tighten electrically to hold occupants firmly in place.

Volvo Cars' Pilot Assist is driving assistance technology that helps keep a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you and uses steering input to keep you in the centre of your lane. Pilot Assist works at speeds up to 130km/h – it lets you know when it's active via a gentle vibration through the steering wheel. It can help reduce some of the effort required when driving at higher speeds or in heavy traffic.

For the EU and US, Pilot Assist is connected to the navigation system and has an 'electronic horizon' function that increases accuracy and performance in curves. Western European markets benefit from Curve Speed Adaption, a function that uses map data to adapt cruising speed in curves to a comfortable level.

Park Assist Pilot is like having a valet park your car perfectly for you, every time. It uses sensors to gauge the size of parallel or perpendicular spaces as you drive by them, and lets you know if one is big enough. It can then steer the car into a parallel space just 1.2 times the car's length. You operate the gears and brakes according to the screen prompts, and your car does the rest. In addition, Cross Traffic Alert helps you to reverse out of a parking space with increased awareness by warning you of potential road users directly behind you.

A range of load accessories helps you use the abilities of your V60 to the full. These include a strong, lightweight bicycle holder and a folding towbar that slides out electrically when you need it.

Load compartment mats help protect the interior of your V60, while an accessory steel grille provides a strong barrier between passenger and load compartments to help you transport your pet – or bulky loads – safely and securely.

Bring your own style to the V60 with our range of styling accessories. Each one is designed to perfectly complement the crisp, confident lines of the V60, whichever trim level you've chosen. The exterior styling kit includes front and rear splitters, sill mouldings and a rear diffuser that give the V60 an even more purposeful stance. An integrated split tail creates a powerful impression, while bold 20-inch alloy wheels that perfectly complement the styling kit and tail pipes are also available.
