Overview

Competing in the compact wagon class, the 2017 Volvo V60 Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Audi A4 Allroad Wagon and the BMW 3 Series Wagon. Spread across 2 trims, the V60 wagon starts off at a base price of MSRP $36,150 and carries on to $48,950. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are two powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 engine rated for 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the V60 Wagon gives you a towing capacity of 3,300 pounds. Another powertrain is the same engine with a twincharger to produce a tweaked power output of 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines. The V60 Wagon offers a combined fuel economy between 26 and 29 MPG.

Buying Advice

We recommend the mid-range T5 Dynamic trim, as it offers the right mix of convenient features for the money. However, if performance is all you need, we suggest you go for the top-tier T6 AWD R-Design trim that boasts an increased output of 60hp, all thanks to the twincharger setup and all-wheel drivetrain that helps boost the performance by a substantial margin.
