The Volvo V60 is a premium mid-size estate, blending Scandinavian design with generous space, a calm, comfortable ride, advanced safety and smart tech - ideal for families and long distance commuters. Explore used Volvo V60s prepared to Vertu's high standards, with flexible finance and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Find your next used Volvo V60 with Vertu.
At a time when nearly everyone is buying an SUV, the V60 makes the quietly compelling case for an estate: a lower, sleeker body that drives with more poise, slips into car parks more easily and still swallows the family luggage. It is one of the most handsome estates on the road, and Scandinavian design gives its cabin a calm that few rivals match.
The used market rewards that slightly against-the-grain choice. Because estates are less in demand than SUVs, a used V60 often represents strong value for the quality on offer, and the range covers efficient petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid options across a span of trims.
Whatever manufacturer warranty remains transfers to you as the new keeper, and every V60 at Vertu is checked and prepared before it goes on sale. For drivers who want premium comfort and real practicality without the bulk of an SUV, the used V60 deserves a serious look.
Yes, particularly for buyers who value the way an estate drives over the higher stance of an SUV. The V60 sits lower than an XC60, which makes it feel more agile on the road while still offering a long, usefully shaped boot.
Two current powertrains cover different priorities. The B4 petrol mild-hybrid produces 197hp, drives the front wheels through a seven-speed automatic, covers 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds and returns up to 44.8mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. The T6 plug-in hybrid steps up to 335hp with all-wheel drive, a brisk 5.4-second 0-62mph time and up to 60.9 miles of electric-only range, one of the longest in its class.
Every used V60 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. That preparation, plus any remaining warranty, makes the V60 a low-risk premium estate buy.
The V60 suits drivers who want space without an SUV. The table below pairs four buyer types with the version that fits them best.
| Buyer Type | Why the V60 Fits |
|---|---|
| Families wanting practicality without bulk | A long, square load bay of up to 1,431 litres and a low loading lip make the V60 easy to pack, while its lower body drives more like a car than an SUV. |
| Company-car and low-cost commuters | The T6 plug-in hybrid's 60.9 miles of electric range and low Benefit-in-Kind banding make it a smart choice for business drivers who can charge. |
| Drivers who don't want to plug in | The B4 petrol mild-hybrid offers 197hp and up to 44.8mpg with no charging needed, ideal for those without a home charger. |
| Buyers who prefer understated style | The V60's clean, elegant estate lines and premium cabin appeal to those who want quality without the size or shoutiness of a large SUV. |
The V60's cabin follows the familiar Volvo template of clean lines and quality materials, arranged around a nine-inch portrait touchscreen running Google Automotive Services with built-in Maps and Assistant. Leather-faced upholstery, heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel feature even on the Plus grade.
Where the V60 differs from Volvo's SUVs is in how it uses its space. The estate body gives a longer, flatter load area than the XC60, with a load divider, grocery bag holder and hands-free tailgate to make daily life easier. Move up to Ultra and you gain a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, Pilot Assist and Harman Kardon audio.
Plug-in hybrid models charge through a Type 2 port on the front wing, reaching full charge from a home wallbox in around three hours. Once a V60 reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Volvo-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.
The current V60 range is offered in two well-equipped grades, Plus and Ultra, with the Ultra adding a layer of luxury and driver assistance on top. The table below shows how the two compare.
These details reflect the 2027 model-year specification. Used V60s from earlier years carried different trim names, such as Momentum, R-Design and Inscription, were offered with diesel engines, and included the rugged V60 Cross Country, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.

The current V60 offers a clear choice between an efficient petrol mild-hybrid and a powerful, long-range plug-in hybrid. The table below sets out both.
Earlier used V60s were also sold with diesel engines and other petrol and hybrid outputs, and as the raised V60 Cross Country, so the used choice is wider than the current pair shown here.
| Specification | B4 Petrol MHEV | T6 Plug-in Hybrid AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain & Performance | ||
| Total Power | 197hp | 335hp |
| Drive & Transmission | FWD, 7-speed auto | AWD, 8-speed auto |
| 0-62mph | 7.6 seconds | 5.4 seconds |
| Top Speed | 112mph | 112mph |
| Electric, Economy & Towing | ||
| Electric-only range (WLTP, up to) | - | 60.9 miles |
| Fuel economy (WLTP, up to) | 44.8mpg | 470.2mpg (weighted) |
| CO2 (from) | 142 g/km | 14 g/km |
| Towing (braked) | 1,800kg | 2,000kg |
*Figures reflect the 2027 model-year range and are drawn from Volvo's published UK price and specification list. Plug-in hybrid economy is a weighted WLTP figure that depends heavily on how often the battery is charged. Actual economy, range and performance vary with weather, driving style, load and conditions, and used examples from other model years or powertrains will differ.
The V60 has the long, low proportions of a classic estate. The table below gives the headline figures.
| Dimension | Volvo V60 |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,778mm |
| Width (excluding mirrors) | 1,916mm |
| Height | 1,430-1,437mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,872mm |
| Boot (5 seats, to roof) | 648 litres |
| Boot (2 seats, to roof) | 1,431 litres |
| Seats | 5 |

Every used Volvo V60 at Vertu goes through the same preparation before it reaches the forecourt, covered by our used car preparation policy. That means an HPI finance check, a full mechanical inspection, and confirmation the car has never been used as a taxi or recorded as a salvage or write-off.
If you're replacing an existing car, Vertu's part-exchange process gives a free, instant online valuation before you commit to anything, and finance options including PCP and HP are available on every used V60 in stock. Our finance explained guide covers how each option works in plain English.
For current Volvo V60 price and availability, the most accurate route is a personalised quotation from your local dealership. If you'd prefer an SUV, the used Volvo XC60 shares much with the V60, or explore the wider used Volvo range.

Yes. The Volvo V60 is a premium mid-size estate, offering a longer, more practical load area than a saloon or hatchback while sitting lower than an SUV. It shares much of its engineering with the XC60 SUV but drives with a more car-like feel.
A rugged, raised version called the V60 Cross Country was also sold, aimed at buyers wanting light off-road ability.
The current V60 T6 plug-in hybrid offers up to 60.9 miles of electric-only range on the WLTP cycle, one of the longest in its class, drawn from a battery that recharges from the mains. That covers many daily journeys on electric power alone before the petrol engine is needed.
Real-world range depends on driving style, weather and load, and earlier used plug-in V60s offered a shorter range.
Current V60 models use a 197hp B4 petrol mild-hybrid or a 335hp T6 plug-in hybrid. Across the wider used market the V60 was also offered with diesel engines and other petrol and hybrid outputs, along with the raised V60 Cross Country.
The petrol mild-hybrid suits drivers who don't want to charge, while the plug-in hybrid offers low running costs for those who can. Confirm the powertrain of any specific car with your local dealership.
The Volvo V60 offers 648 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, rising to 1,431 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded. The estate body gives a long, flat and usefully shaped load area, helped by a low loading lip and a hands-free power tailgate.
A load divider and grocery bag holder add to the V60's everyday practicality.
Both share engines, technology and safety kit, so the choice comes down to body style. The V60 estate sits lower, drives with a more car-like feel and often costs less used, while the XC60 SUV offers a higher driving position and greater ground clearance.
Buyers who prioritise handling and value tend to prefer the V60; those who want the commanding view and rugged look of an SUV choose the XC60.
Every used Volvo V60 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt. That means confirmed free of outstanding finance, never used as a taxi, and free of any salvage or write-off history, alongside a full mechanical inspection.
That preparation also covers bodywork and wheel refurbishment, interior repairs where needed, and a minimum of six months or 6,000 miles before the next service or MOT is due. Full details are in our used car preparation policy.
