The Swedish manufacturer has once again surprised its fans by presenting a new generation of the legendary Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon. In comparison with the previous generation, the new product has completely changed its style, both externally and internally. Nevertheless, there are also those features that the manufacturer repeated, taking them from the existing cars of the company.

As you know, the new V60 2018 wagon was presented on February 21, 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show. According to the manufacturer, the second generation Volvo V60 has become more modernized, in addition, it received many modern functions and safety systems. The similarity with the previous generation is perhaps in the body type and the same name, the rest is all new.

Exterior station wagon Volvo V60 2018-2020

Externally, the new 2018-2020 Volvo V60 station wagon is completely different from its predecessor. Many details of the V60 2018, both externally and internally, very much resemble the previously presented models of the brand. The manufacturer decided to completely remake all models of the company, thus making the appearance similar to the previously known novelties.

In front, a new station wagon Volvo V60 2018-2020 received a recognizable optics in the form of a hammer "Thor", with characteristic daytime running lights, which were specially tightened to the radiator grill. Starting with the basic configuration of the new Volvo V60 station wagon, the optics are LED, but more expensive configurations will acquire matrix optics with an intelligent system. The difference from conventional optics is in autonomous control of high and low beam, as well as individual elements, which allows not to blind oncoming vehicles.

Radiator grille station wagon Volvo V60 also received new features. It looks like it is pressed into the side of the engine, this look was achieved thanks to the vertical stripes as inserts. The classic diagonal line and the company logo are the same. At the bottom of the station wagon's emblem, like most modern cars of the brand, a front-view camera was placed.

The front bumper of the Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon received a large additional radiator grille and not small side openings for better dynamic performance; in addition, round foglights can be installed on the sides. To maximize security systems, Swedish engineers have placed many sensors, radars and other sensors along the lower part of the bumper, mostly in an additional grille. The bumper itself, in fact, occupies the main front part, a radiator grill and other parts have been built into it, while the hood lays down end-to-end with the plastics with a grille edging (not chrome-plated).

The more aggressive and "evil" front view of the Volvo V60 2019 station wagon finally emphasizes the hood. Those who remember the first generation will say that here the novelty nevertheless received the outline of the previous generation. The central part of the hood is slightly raised, but two bends stretch from the optics to the A-pillars.

The windshield of the 2018-2020 Volvo V60 station wagon has been slightly deepened behind the A-pillars, adding a more massive black edging around the perimeter. Behind the central mirror on the windshield, as before, were located the main sensors of active safety systems. This arrangement has significantly expanded the range of systems, which is also very important for the new Volvo V60.

Side part The 2019 Volvo V60 station wagon has retained only the body shape, otherwise the features are completely new. The hybrid model of the novelty is quite easy to distinguish, on the front fender, on the driver's side, there is a hatch for recharging. The new station wagon does not stand out from the side with special features, but still there are a couple of those lines without which the station wagon would not be so stylish. Wavy lines stretch from the front optics to the rear stops, another strict line is added at the bottom of the doors, thereby replacing the side moldings.

The station wagon door handles are also new, at first glance they seem to be the same, but the main part is slightly raised up, for ease of use and to reduce the likelihood of damage. The side windows of the Volvo V60 2019 have acquired sharper shapes, the front is solid, one deaf and one movable is installed for the rear door, and a blank glass for the shelf behind the seats closes the barrel. Along the perimeter, the side windows were decorated with chrome edging.

Concerning side mirrors of the new 2019 Volvo V60 station wagon, the designers transferred them to the door panel, installing them on the black fasteners. The body of the mirrors is painted to match the body color, according to the standard, the mirrors are equipped with LED repeaters, an electric adjustment drive and heating. The only difference from the more expensive complete set Volvo V60 will be automatic folding and memory for two settings modes. It is worth noting that when driving in reverse, the mirrors tilt down a little so that you can better see the situation behind.

Body color Volvo V60 2018-2020 preferably dark, available in:

• black;
• crystal white;
• silver;
• grey;
• dark grey;
• deep black;
• Navy blue;
• gray green;
• Red;
• beige.

What other body shades of the Volvo V60 2019 will be available are not yet specified, presumably the list will not change much. Likewise, the buyer of the station wagon is not given the opportunity to independently choose the shade to his liking, even for a separate, additional fee. The last detail on the side of the Volvo V60 2019 is branded alloy wheels, according to the 18 ″ standard, and optionally, you can install discs on 19 ″.

Behind the new 2018-2020 Volvo V60 station wagon is truly completely new. The most striking are the huge and unusual LED feet with 3D effect. Most of the stops were placed on the body of the station wagon, stretching them along the rear pillars, some of the smaller ones were installed on the trunk lid. The boot lid of the Volvo V60 itself is partly glass and partly similar to the XC series crossover.

Such the impression is because of the large rear window with black edging. The very top of the trunk lid was decorated with a sports spoiler coupled with an LED stop signal. The lower part of the trunk lid received a strict character due to the shape of the feet, otherwise the designers placed here a chrome brand lettering, a rear-view camera, a pair of chrome nameplates and a notch for license plates.

The no less austere style of the 2018-2020 Volvo V60 station wagon is emphasized by the rear bumper. Designers have endowed it with strict horizontal lines, with the same strict inserts. Elongated LED fog lights were placed on the sides, and the lower part was decorated with a black plastic insert. The bottom is distinguished by two chrome-plated exhaust tips. The maximum that can be the difference between the trim levels of the Volvo V60 2019 is chrome parts and inserts in the lower part of the bumper.

Station wagon roof Volvo V60 2019 also received no less changes. In the basic configuration, the engineers installed a solid roof with two roof rails for attaching an additional rack. In more expensive trim levels Volvo V60 2019, as well as optionally on the roof, you can add a panoramic roof with a sliding front part, a panoramic sunroof is simply not provided for selection.

The appearance of the new Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon bears little resemblance to the previous generation, for the most part it is an updated car, based on modern technologies and modern style. Like the previous novelties, the station wagon was completely modernized, giving it a refined style. In some details, it is similar to the older brothers V90 and XC60, although it also has its own features.

The interior of the station wagon Volvo V60 2020-2020

Like the exterior, the interior of the new Volvo V60 2020-2020 has been completely redesigned.Despite the loud statements of Swedish designers that the interior of the 2019 V60 station wagon is completely new, you can clearly recognize the features of the company's previously presented cars.

Front Panel made in the new style of the brand, while, as before, many buttons were transferred to the touchscreen display. Minimalism can be seen in all the details of the interior of the Volvo V60 2019 and, on the other hand, it is very convenient, since you can always highlight the most necessary functions. The main part of the center console of the Volvo V60 is occupied by a rectangular 9.5 ″ touchscreen display.

For multimedia operation, two operating systems are simultaneously installed: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Volvo V60 also has a navigation system with 3D maps, a Wi-Fi hotspot and mobile communications.

On the sides of the multimedia display there are two elongated air ducts, previously they were square and much smaller in shape. There is one more detail on the bottom of the touchscreen - a fingerprint reader that allows you to protect the main control system of the Volvo V60 from other users. The final highlight of the display and dividing the center panel horizontally is a silver bezel with LED backlighting. Depending on the wishes of the owner of the new Volvo V60, the backlight can be adjusted to any shade by selecting the appropriate function in the center display. Completing the center panel of the new Volvo V60 2018-2020, audio controls and a couple of safety buttons. Such a minimal set is easy to explain, all other control buttons have been transferred to the touchscreen. The central tunnel of the Volvo V60 station wagon is also very simple, in addition to the gear lever and selector, with a Start / Stop button, a USB port for recharging, a 12V outlet, modern wireless charging of the Qi standard, as well as a small compartment for small items are hidden behind the side plug. In addition, there are two LED-lit cupholders. The Volvo V60 is not originally designed for smoking, so you will need to purchase a smoker's package separately.

The center tunnel of the Volvo V60 station wagon ends with an adjustable lunge armrest. Inside the armrest there is a spacious compartment, in some versions there is a refrigerator for drinks, but on the other side there is a touch panel for adjusting the climate control. In all trim levels of the Volvo V60 2020, the manufacturer installs a 4-zone climate control, which has improved the comfort of the car by an order of magnitude.

The seats of the 2018-2020 Volvo V60 station wagon have become an order of magnitude better in comfort. First row new items got sports seats, high back and large lateral support. Despite the car's relevance to the family class, the ride is comfortable and comfortable. At the disposal of the owner of the Volvo V60 is an electric drive for seat adjustment in 12 directions, adjustment in the lumbar region, as well as functions for cooling and heating the front seats.

Second row seats Volvo V60 2018-2020 is designed to fit 3 passengers, although the central passenger was allocated a minimum list of amenities. A large armrest is located in the center of the backrest, with two cup holders and a pair of compartments for storing small items. The side seats of the second row of the Volvo V60 received high full-fledged head restraints, for the central passenger, the head restraint folds into the back, the proportion of folding the second row is 40/60.

The designers used high-quality leather as a material for upholstering the interior of the Volvo V60 2018-2020, as well as inserts of high-quality fabric in some options. By combination, perforated leather or solid leather is available.

The interior colors of the Volvo V60 2018-2020 are available in:

1. black;
2. Brown;
3. coffee;
4. White;
5. grey;
6. beige.

In addition to the leather upholstery of the Volvo V60 interior, the manufacturer offers lacquered wood, white wood and polished aluminum inserts. In addition to the leather upholstery of the seats, the gearbox cover and steering wheel of the Volvo V60 are also covered with leather, while the latter can be one or two shades, which makes the driver's seat more attractive.

Driver's seat The new Volvo V60 2020-2020 has completely changed and looks more like a sports car than a family station wagon. The tidy is now fully digital, based on a color 12.3 ″ display. The driver chooses the arrangement of the elements and the instruments themselves, although the manufacturer of the Volvo V60 has prepared several standard arrangement options in advance.

The steering wheel of the Volvo V60 station wagon, as already mentioned, can be a monotone color or two shades. The steering wheel can be adjusted in height and depth, but the steering wheel itself is three-spoke. On the two side function control buttons, touch buttons are distinguished from the usual options, which greatly simplified control while driving. Behind the wheel of the Volvo V60 station wagon, the levers of the car's systems were located, as well as the paddles for gear shifting.

Many would argue that controlling car functions using the touchscreen is not the best option. On the one hand, yes, a breakdown of the display itself will lead to complete blocking or the impossibility of operating the Volvo V60 2019 station wagon, but with careful handling, the driver opens up a huge list of possibilities. In addition, it all looks much more attractive than a panel with buttons from a "fighter".

Technical characteristics of the station wagon Volvo V60 2020-2020

Before the official start of sales of the Volvo V60 2019 station wagon, the manufacturer says little about the characteristics of the new product. Nevertheless, individual details are known, despite various options and assumptions. Both diesel and gasoline units are available for the buyer's choice, in addition, there is a hybrid version of the Volvo V60 station wagon.

Depending on the country of delivery, the list of units may vary. For the first time of deliveries of the Volvo V60 2018-2020, the manufacturer offers a pair of engines for each type of fuel. Within six months, this list will expand significantly, since the manufacturer always follows this strategy. As a result, we should expect at least 5-7 engine options that will complete the new Volvo V60.

At the heart of the new Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon, engineers have installed a SPA platform with a transverse engine. The suspension of all wheels is completely independent, a composite spring is installed for the rear suspension. According to the manufacturer, this combination gives even more agility to the long body, excellent grip and the highest possible driving comfort.

The manufacturer says little about what the hybrid engine of the new Volvo V60 2018-2020 will be like. It is assumed that on the new platform, the hybrid will be the same as on the older brother Volvo V90 or on the XC series crossover. The T6 Twin Engine AWD hybrid combines a 2.0-liter gasoline unit and an electric motor with 117 horsepower. The total power of such a pair of Volvo V60s is 340 horses, and the torque is 590 Nm.

For the Volvo V60 2019 hybrid station wagon, the 10.4 kWh battery can be recharged from the 220V network or at a special station.

On the one hand, this is true, since the manufacturer equipped the Volvo V60 2018-2020 with the maximum number of the most modern safety and control systems, among them there are both active and passive ones. Many systems have received intelligence that allows you to calculate the situation in a split second for 4-5 steps ahead, thereby warning the driver about possible consequences.

Price and configuration Volvo V60 2018-2020

Similar to the technical specifications, the list of trim levels and prices of the new Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon will depend on the country in which the car is delivered. Today, the manufacturer offers 4 basic configurations, which differ from each other in terms of configuration and decoration details; otherwise, they are outwardly the same cars.

In some European countries, the new Volvo V60 2018-2020 station wagon has started sales in full swing. In all likelihood, the new Volvo V60 will not reach the territory of Russia, since the manufacturer does not yet consider it expedient, the V90 and the XC60 and XC90 crossovers are now being sold instead.

The new Volvo V60 station wagon of the second generation is completely different from its predecessor, both externally and internally. Paired with updated characteristics, the novelty shows good data on dynamics and comfort.
