There is not much time left, and new items are pouring in one after another, as if from a cornucopia. Volvo joined the marathon yesterday with its updated 60 Series Wagon.
The mid-size novelty is very similar to its full-size counterpart - the V90 model. The similarity seems so great that at first glance at the cars, even if they stand side by side, it is very easy to get confused where the younger and where the older brother is.
To make things easier, let's draw parallels between the two cars together.
So, the first impression: the models look like twin brothers. But is it really so?
See how tall the V60 feels compared to the V90. If (located at the top of the photo) seems to be sprawled on the ground, the new "wagon" of the Volvo range - the V60 model - by contrast, has more vertical proportions. This is due, of course, to the fact that the base, length and width of the novelty is smaller, despite the fact that the spaciousness of the cabin for the comfort of passengers has remained virtually unchanged.
Volvo is a unique automaker. This is especially well seen in the example of their station wagons, on which the Swedes "ate the dog." On the one hand, they manage to produce very comfortable and practical cars On the other hand, cars have a unique combination of premium, style and are not at all intended for use as a utility car.
Tell me honestly, who would want to purposefully acquire one of these beauties in order to take children to school or kindergarten? Rather, Scandinavian cars will be purchased for the soul and harmony with one's inner self and, according to the residual principle, be used for household chores.
The new cars fit the description of the Sportback station wagon very well, which is certainly roomier than a sedan, but not as roomy as a full wagon.
- from the beginning of the story to the V90:
To prove that we are right, it is worth looking at the volume of trunks. At the top of the photo is storage for things V60, at the bottom - V90:
As you can see, a bag and a couple of larger bags will fit here, but boards or a furniture designer from Ikea are unlikely. You can, of course, fold down the rear seatbacks, but the creamy Nappa leather is unlikely to survive such experiments.
V60, however, is more like the old ones Volvo wagons 90s than its full-sized relative. View from above:
Pay attention to the fifth door station wagons. It can be seen that the V90 is much closer to the version Shooting brake than the V60 version.
Let's dive into the comparison. Let's look at the body skeletons. Here it becomes clear why there is so little space for luggage inside. Still, the main goal of the engineers was to design safe car not a truck. Notice how thick the V60's struts are (top of photo). They are designed to withstand the toughest impacts.
Technical data of two station wagons:
Volvo V60 (length 476.1 cm, width 185 cm, height 142.7 mm, wheelbase 287.2 cm)
Volvo V90 (length 493.6 cm, width 189 cm, height 147.5 mm, wheelbase 294.1 cm)
Overall, it seems like the V90 will give you more space just by being bigger, but it looks like the V60 has a more efficient, "universal" platform. Therefore, in our opinion, the V60 can be safely labeled as a station wagon, while the V90 is still closer to the Shooting Brake body.
The new Volvo V60 wagon (Volvo B60) was officially presented on February 21, 2018 on the eve of the world premiere in, even a little earlier than the debut of the new generation Volvo S60 sedan. In our review new Volvo V60 2018-2019 - price and equipment, photos and videos, technical specifications of the 2nd generation Swedish station wagon. New generation The “sixties”, having moved to the SPA modular platform, acquired not only diesel and gasoline engines, but also a couple of hybrid modifications (340-horsepower T6 Twin Engine and 390-horsepower T8 Twin Engine) and is preparing to enter the world market in early autumn 2018. Price wagon Volvo V60 in Europe will be from 40,100 euros for a diesel 150-horsepower version of the Volvo V60 D3 and from 49,500 euros for a petrol 310-horsepower version of the Volvo V60 T6. In Russia, the station wagon "sixties" will not be officially sold, Russian motorists should wait for the new generation Volvo S60 sedan and all-terrain station wagon Volvo V60 Cross Country.
Creating a new generation of the Volvo V60 station wagon, the designers of the Swedish manufacturer were chasing not two, but three birds with one stone.
- Firstly, the "sixty" should be similar to the older brother station wagon.
- Secondly, also demonstrate kinship with the new crossover.
- Thirdly, to have your own original image.
As a result, we have such a symbiosis of the Volvo V90, Volvo XC60 and something new. But to be honest, the new V60 looks like younger brother V90 models. In the presence of a stylish and bright front part of the car body, decorated with branded headlights "Thor's hammer", a compact false radiator grille with a large Volvo logo and a bumper with a pronounced lip.
From the side, the body of the five-door model looks organic and dynamic. In the presence of a long hood, huge wheel arch cutouts, doors with a high window sill, compact glass and a powerful relief, an almost flat roofline, a solid rear fender with lush stampings.
The rear part of the station wagon was awarded with large, sweeping marker lights with LED filling, the correct rectangle of the door luggage compartment with compact glass crowned with a spoiler and a massive bumper with bright aerodynamic elements.
I would like to add that new station wagon Volvo V60, as well as other modern models of the Swedish manufacturer, looks expensive and aristocratic. At the same time, the novelty clearly demonstrates commitment to the corporate style of the brand.
- External dimensions Volvo bodies The 2018-2019 V60 is 4761mm long, with a 2872mm wheelbase.
Compared to its predecessor, the body of the new 2nd generation of the model has added as much as 126 mm in length, and the dimensions of the wheelbase have increased by 96 mm.

At standard position backs of the rear seats, the trunk is able to take 529 liters (for reference, the predecessor has only 430 liters, the Volvo crossover XC60 - 505 liters, for the older brother Volvo V90 - 560 liters), folding the second row seats, the useful volume of the luggage compartment increases to 1364 liters (for the Volvo V90 station wagon - 1526 liters, and for the Volvo XC60 crossover - 1432 liters). Let's add an underground to the trunk arsenal, the volume of which is not taken into account by the manufacturer, and a tailgate servo.
