Overview
Competing in the compact wagon, the 2015 Volvo V60 Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Audi A4 Allroad and the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen. Spread across 6 trims, the Volvo starts off at a base price of MSRP of $35,300 and carries on to $47,300. However, not all trims are built equally, as there are 3 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 and 8-speed automatic transmission base engine.
Making 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the Volvo V60 capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and carries the capability to tow 3,300 pounds. There is a bigger 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine making 250 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. One can also opt for a bigger 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine that is paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission. With 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this engine also gets you a towing capacity of 3,300 pounds.
While station wagons are not the most seeked out in the market, the 2015 Volvo V60 does stand out if practicality and reliability is all you seek from your family car. It is no longer a boxy wagon and gets a lot more elegant design language which is also felt by Alex from "Alex on Autos".
