Every now and then a new car comes in with relatively few fanfare, but it is so good that it literally takes you around.
The brand new Volvo V60 is such a vehicle. Obviously it is not something special in a kind of supercar – it is only that it does everything that it should do exceptionally well.
Like the entire current generation of Volvos, it ticks the right box and the V60 is further proof that the Swedish brand is on a role. According to the XC90, V90, S90, XC60 and XC40, there is another winner.
Critics claim that Volvo is in the Russian doll road and the V60 is only a scaled V90. Take a close look and you will see that the rear car of the smaller car is more pertified, a sexier profile and better proportioned.
Drive it and you realize that it still feels more agile, but it is also cleverly packaged and offers enough interior and an extremely relaxed cruiser.
Why should you want an SUV if you can drive an elegant property than a family and a dog to be fully transported?
And above all, why should you buy an Audi A4 Avant, BMW 3 Series Touring or Mercedes-Benz C Class estate?
The V60 from £ 31,810 is initially available with two 2.0-liter turbo diesel engines (150 hp and 190 hp), paired with an 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual and a 250 hp petrol unit . Smaller petrol and two plug-in hybrids will follow in 2019.
I tested the more powerful 190 PS diesel in a D4 impulse-pro-spec from one-up-from-from-from level with an automatic transmission.
The impulse is already generously equipped with LED headlights, a driven rear climate air conditioning with an air quality system from Cleanzone, a 9.0-inch center-console touchscreen, a 12.3-inch driver information display and rear parking sensors.
In the momentum Pro (from £ 34,060), the padding with leather faces, a head-up display, active bending LED headlights with adaptive shadow technology, hands-free openings for the driven tailgate as well as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
The performance is impressive on paper and is not disappointed on the street. For the data record, it can be able to get a maximum speed of 137 km/h in 7.6 seconds per hour and can return up to 61.4 MPG, while only 122 g/km CO2.
With the drive modes you can select between four different modes, including comfort, dynamics, eco and individually, although the comfort works well, since the journey and the engine power are okay.
As with all diesel engines, you know exactly what is under the bonnet when you straighten it, but it is excellently refined with the day in the normal day and is always comfortable.
It feels dynamic to drive in faster corners and the physical control for every car excellent, let alone for an essential estate.
To be honest, if there was a point of criticism, it is the case that the automatic transmission sometimes hesitates a little to hesitate, but it is certainly not a dealbreaker.
In short, not only the V60, which drives on more demanding country roads, but also a relaxed cruiser, which makes long trips an absolute pleasure.
It is also very safe as a Volvo. In the strange use of security package in the city, autonomous emergency braking (can discover pedestrians, cyclists and animals as well as vehicles) and oncoming lane reduction (it helps drivers to avoid collisions with vehicles in an oncoming lane).
Speaking of technical: My evaluation car was equipped with the optional intelligisafe per pack (£ 1,625), which includes cross-travabic Alert and VolvoS impressive pilothilfed ilot half-autone driving system (speed and steering aid with reactive stain display).
Of course, the V60 is also beautifully compiled and plush on the inside and exposes Scandi Chic.
It is spacious to sit whether they are at the front or back, and there are many clever storage solutions, while the class trunk is 529 liters, which extends up to 1,441 liters of flat room with the rear seats.
Verdict: The brand new Volvo V60 is simply one of the best new cars of the year. Sure, spacious and a serious attractiveness of the curb, it is a dream to drive and surprisingly economically.
