Looking for a used Volvo XC60? This mid-size premium SUV blends calm, secure handling with a plush, tech-rich cabin and renowned safety-ideal for families and comfortable commuters. Browse fully checked, second hand XC60s for sale with Vertu, backed by a 14 day money-back guarantee and flexible finance.
The XC60 is Volvo's most popular car worldwide, and it is easy to see why: it distils the brand's safety, comfort and understated style into a mid-size SUV that fits British roads and driveways with ease. Sitting between the compact XC40 and the seven-seat XC90, it hits a sweet spot that has made it a default choice for families.
On the used market that popularity means plenty of choice and strong support. There are examples across petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid power, in a wide span of trims, and the depreciation curve works in your favour once the first owner has moved on.
Whatever manufacturer warranty remains passes to you as the new keeper, and every XC60 at Vertu is checked and prepared before it reaches the forecourt. As a premium family SUV that balances size, refinement and running costs, the used XC60 is one of the most rounded options in its class.
Yes. The XC60 offers much of the XC90's polish in a more manageable footprint, and the current range gives used buyers a clear choice of petrol or plug-in hybrid power, all with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic.
The B5 petrol mild-hybrid produces 250hp, covers 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds and returns up to 37.6mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. Above it sit two plug-in hybrids: the T6 with 350hp and up to 51 miles of electric range, and the flagship T8 with 455hp and a rapid 4.9-second 0-62mph time, both ideal for drivers who can charge at home.
Every used XC60 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. With that breadth of powertrain and Vertu's preparation behind it, the XC60 is a low-risk premium SUV buy.
The XC60 works for a broad range of drivers. The table below pairs four with the version that suits them best.
| Buyer Type | Why the XC60 Fits |
|---|---|
| Families wanting premium space | A roomy five-seat cabin, up to 1,543 litres of load space and Volvo's full safety suite make the XC60 an easy, comfortable family SUV. |
| Company-car and low-cost commuters | The T6 plug-in hybrid's 51 miles of electric range and single-figure Benefit-in-Kind banding make it a strong choice for business drivers. |
| Drivers who don't want to plug in | The B5 petrol mild-hybrid delivers 250hp and all-wheel drive without any charging, ideal for those with no home charging setup. |
| Buyers wanting performance and luxury | The 455hp T8 flagship, especially in Ultra trim with air suspension and Bowers & Wilkins audio, blends real pace with genuine indulgence. |
The XC60 wraps its occupants in the calm, uncluttered feel Volvo is known for. An 11.2-inch portrait touchscreen anchors the dashboard, running Google Automotive Services with built-in Maps and Assistant, and the standard Quilted Nordico upholstery gives even entry cars an upmarket look.
Move up the range and the luxury deepens: Plus adds a 360-degree camera, heated rear seats and Harman Kardon audio, Plus Pro brings ventilated Nappa leather, and Ultra tops things with air suspension, a head-up display, massage seats and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system. A hands-free power tailgate and underfloor storage keep everyday use practical.
Plug-in hybrid models charge through a Type 2 port on the front wing, reaching a full battery from a home wallbox in around three hours. Once an XC60 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 XC60 climbs through Core, Plus, Plus Pro and Ultra, with Black Edition styling variants alongside them. The table below shows how equipment builds across the four core ascending grades.
These details reflect the 2026 model-year specification. Used XC60s from earlier years carried different trim names, such as Momentum, R-Design and Inscription, and were also offered with diesel engines, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.

The current XC60 offers three powertrains, all with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic: one petrol mild-hybrid and two plug-in hybrids of increasing power. The table below sets out all three.
Note that earlier used XC60s were also sold with diesel engines and different petrol and hybrid outputs, so the used choice is broader than the current line-up shown here.
| Specification | B5 Petrol MHEV | T6 Plug-in Hybrid | T8 Plug-in Hybrid |

| Total Power | 250hp | 350hp | 455hp |
| Drive & Transmission | AWD, 8-speed auto | AWD, 8-speed auto | AWD, 8-speed auto |
| 0-62mph | 6.9 seconds | 5.7 seconds | 4.9 seconds |

| CO2 (from) | 170 g/km | 22 g/km | 23 g/km |
| Towing (braked) | 2,400kg | 2,250kg | 2,250kg |
*Figures reflect the 2026 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 XC60 sits in the mid-size SUV class, larger than an XC40 but easier to place than an XC90. The table below gives the headline figures.

| Width (excluding mirrors) | 1,999mm |
| Height | 1,656-1,660mm |

Every used Volvo XC60 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 XC60 in stock. Our finance explained guide covers how each option works in plain English.

T6 and T8 are Volvo's names for its plug-in hybrid powertrains, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery. On the current XC60 the T6 produces 350hp and the T8 produces 455hp, both with all-wheel drive. The B5, by contrast, is a petrol mild-hybrid that never needs plugging in.
Both plug-in hybrids offer around 50 miles of electric-only range when charged.
The current XC60 T6 plug-in hybrid offers up to 51 miles of electric-only range on the WLTP cycle, and the T8 up to 49.7 miles, both 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 XC60s offered a shorter range.
Current XC60 models use a 250hp B5 petrol mild-hybrid, a 350hp T6 plug-in hybrid or a 455hp T8 plug-in hybrid, all with all-wheel drive. Across the wider used market the XC60 was also offered with diesel engines and earlier petrol and hybrid outputs.
The petrol suits drivers who don't want to charge, while the plug-in hybrids offer low running costs for those who can. Confirm the powertrain of any specific car with your local dealership.
The Volvo XC60 offers up to 613 litres of boot space with the rear seats up on petrol models, or 598 litres on plug-in hybrids, rising to as much as 1,543 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded. That is generous for a mid-size SUV.
A hands-free power tailgate and underfloor storage add to the XC60's everyday practicality.
On the current range, Plus offers the strongest balance, adding Pilot Assist, blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, heated rear seats and Harman Kardon audio over Core. It covers the features most owners use daily.
Buyers wanting ventilated Nappa leather should look to Plus Pro, while Ultra adds air suspension, a head-up display and massage seats. Older used cars use names such as Momentum, R-Design and Inscription.
Every used Volvo XC60 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.
