For The XC60 is a fantastic family car, with a spacious, versatile and appealing cabin, smooth motorway manners and loads of safety kit.

Against The dash has some fiddly buttons and the five-cylinder diesel engines aren’t as smooth or frugal as some rivals’.

4 out of 5 stars

The XC60 is a brilliant family car. It’s practical, classy, good to drive and scores highly for safety. The front-wheel drive version is notably more affordable to own than other models in the range.

XC60 Our pick

Volvo XC60 Crossover 2.0 D3 DRIVe SE 2WD S/S 5dr

This is our favourite XC60 and we think it’s one of the best family cars you can buy. Highly recommended.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Despite its big wheels, elevated ground clearance and butch looks, the XC60 isn’t a serious off-roader, but more of a classy, rugged family-ferrying crossover.

There are three five-cylinder diesel models available, all of which provide decent performance. The turbocharged 281bhp 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine has masses of oomph, but it's very thirsty.

Entry-level ES models come with alloy wheels, four electric windows, plus climate and cruise controls.

Upgrading to SE spec brings automatic wipers and an electric driver’s seat with memory, while SE Lux brings leather upholstery, satellite-navigation, cornering lights and parking sensors.

Sporty R-Design models get a beefy bodykit, metallic interior trim and a Sports chassis with stiffer suspension and more direct steering.
