The Volvo XC60 is ageing gracefully and can still manage to fend off newer rivals with its roomy, upmarket interior, and a well-judged ride and handling balance. In short it's a fine choice, although the Audi Q5 is an even better all-rounder while the BMW X3 and Porsche Macan are more fun to drive. If you do buy an XC60, we recommend Core trim with the B5 engine (or the T6 PHEV if it's a company car).
Exclusive to Ultimate trim, the T8 has 449bhp and a sub-five second 0-62mph time, making this XC60 remarkably rapid. With an official electric-only range of around 48 miles, it should also prove frugal to run as long as you keep it plugged in regularly.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
