Overview
The second generation Volvo V60 is based on the Volvo SPA Platform, like the saloons Volvo S60, Volvo S90, and the SUVs Volvo XC60 and Volvo XC90. It went on sale in July 2018. The V60 is built in both Sweden and Belgium. In the U.S., since 2021, the V60 is only available as a Cross Country model with one gasoline powertrain, dubbed T5, though a Polestar Engineered enhancement is available as an option. Mild hybrid variants were added in 2022, and in 2023, replaced conventional gas engines in the US. In Europe, Volvo offers two gasoline engines, two diesel engines, and two plug-in hybrid powertrains to choose from.
Trim levels
Before 2022, the V60 was available in Momentum, R-Design, Inscription, Cross Country and Polestar trim levels. For the 2022 models, Volvo changed the trim levels to Core, Plus and Ultimate (in increasing order of quality and price). It also reduced the optional extras which can be added to the features specified for each trim level, to allow the production process to be streamlined.
