Volvo V60
Unlike the S60 sedan, which is bowing out after the 2025 model year, the V60 wagon sticks around, although time is running out. Comfort and SUV-like practicality are mainly what draws people to the V60. As for powertrain selection, the B5 mild hybrid model offers decent performance along with fuel consumption of 8.7 L/100 km. The more interesting T8 plug-in hybrid model delivers 455 horsepower while its 18.8kWh battery provides an electric range of 64 km.
