Introducing The New Volvo V60
As a premium estate, the new Volvo V60 gives you the space and flexibility family life demands, while still feeling polished and rewarding to drive every day. It suits drivers who want a practical car that is easy to live with on the school run, the commute, and longer motorway trips, without moving into a larger SUV.
Inside, the V60 feels smart and welcoming rather than overcomplicated. The controls are clear, the driving position is easy to settle into, and the boot shape is practical for real use. If you want a car that carries luggage, shopping, pushchairs, or sports kit without making daily driving feel bulky, the V60 makes a very strong case for itself.
If you want to see how the Volvo V60 feels from behind the wheel, you can book a test drive with Vertu and explore the range in person.

Can I Buy A New Volvo V60 On Finance?
Yes, you can buy a Volvo V60 on finance with Vertu, which can make it easier to step into a higher-spec estate without paying the full cost upfront. For many drivers, finance helps spread payments in a way that suits monthly budgeting, while also giving you flexibility around how long you keep the car and what you pay at the start of the agreement.
The exact options available can vary depending on the exact trim, deposit, agreement length, and annual mileage.
- PCP stands for Personal Contract Purchase. This can suit drivers who want lower monthly payments and flexibility at the end of the agreement.
- HP stands for Hire Purchase. This can suit drivers who want to pay towards full ownership from the start.
- PCH stands for Personal Contract Hire. This can suit drivers who want to lease the car for a fixed term rather than own it.

Where Can I Buy A New Volvo V60?
You can buy a new Volvo V60 through Vertu, where you can visit a Volvo dealership and explore the model with support from a team that understands the range. That matters with a car like the V60, because trim choice, charging habits, running costs, and finance options can all influence which version fits you best.
Buying through Vertu also gives you access to expert customer service, whether you prefer to visit in person, enquire online, or arrange your next steps over the phone. If you want to compare the V60 with other estate cars or other Volvo models before making a decision, that extra guidance can be genuinely useful.
You can also browse other new Volvo models and compare them with other new cars in stock when you visit or enquire. That makes it easier to decide whether the V60 is the best match, or whether another Volvo better suits your space, budget, or driving needs.
New Volvo V60 FAQs
What Warranty Cover Should I Expect On A New Volvo V60?
A new Volvo V60 typically comes with a three-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first. On plug-in hybrid versions, the battery itself is usually covered for longer, typically up to eight years or 100,000 miles. That gives useful peace of mind if you are choosing the V60 for a mix of electric and petrol driving.
Which New Volvo V60 Trim Should I Choose?
Plus suits most drivers well because it gives you the main comfort, safety, and infotainment features people use every day, including Google built-in, heated front seats, and helpful parking technology. Ultra is worth a closer look if you want a more premium cabin feel, a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera, and extra convenience on top of the core V60 package. If your focus is value and everyday usability, Plus makes a lot of sense. If you want the most complete version, Ultra is the stronger fit.
Are The Tech Features Of The New Volvo V60 Easy To Use?
Yes. The V60’s technology is easier to get along with than many systems that try to do too much at once. Google Maps feels familiar straight away, and Google Assistant makes it simple to enter destinations or change settings using your voice. The digital driver display also keeps key information where it is easy to read, so you do not have to spend as much time looking across the cabin.
Is The New Volvo V60 Easy To Park In Tight Spaces?
Yes, for an estate car, the V60 is straightforward to place in tighter spaces. The standard rear parking camera helps when reversing into bays or onto a driveway, and higher trims add a 360-degree camera that is especially useful in narrower town car parks. Good visibility and clear parking aids make a big difference in everyday use.
Should I Choose A Fixed Or Flexible Servicing Plan For A New Volvo V60?
If you like predictable monthly motoring costs, a fixed servicing plan can work well because you know what to budget for from the start. If your annual mileage changes a lot, or you are not sure how heavily you will use the car, a more flexible approach can make sense instead. With a plug-in hybrid V60, many drivers like the reassurance of sticking to a regular plan, especially if they want to keep the car maintained in line with Volvo’s requirements. You can also explore Volvo servicing for more detail.
What Insurance Group Is The New Volvo V60 In?
The Volvo V60 usually sits in the higher insurance groups, which reflects its plug-in hybrid power, safety technology, and premium repair costs. In broad terms, Ultra can come in slightly higher than Plus because of the extra equipment and replacement cost. Your exact insurance price will still depend on the final trim, your postcode, driving history, mileage, and insurer, so it is always worth checking the specific car before you commit.
