Introduction
What Car? says...
This Volvo V60 review could quite easily begin with some whimsical, antiques dealer-inspired introduction based loosely around that fella whose name begins with ‘L’ and ends in ‘ovejoy’. Yet that would be an awfully hackneyed way to introduce an estate car as sharp and shapely as the V60.
Volvo currently ploughs a furrow of contemporary chic, and shed its fuddy-duddy safety-first image a long time ago – but that doesn’t mean safety has been rinsed from its DNA entirely. The V60 is fitted with many of the anti-crash devices we’ve seen in larger Volvos so it keeps you swaddled securely in a ball of high-tech cotton wool.
