Overview

The 2019 Volvo V60 Wagon is a midsize wagon offered in 5 trims, starting off at a base MSRP $38,900. For that price, it mainly competes with the RAM Promaster City Wagon, the Audi A4 Allroad and the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen with some price difference. Between 5 trims, the Volvo V60 offers two powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine capable of making 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 315 horsepower-making 2.0L Turbo/Supercharged Inline-4 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission

The Volvo V60 reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.9 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.4 seconds with the Twincharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Volvo V60 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 28 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the Volvo V60 comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We would recommend the top trim, the 2019 Volvo V60 T6 Inscription. Not because we don’t want you to be thrifty, but because the T6 Inscription is the only trim worth buying with a good amount of optional and standard features and an actual performing engine.
