The Volvo V60 (2020 onwards) carries on Volvo's reputation for producing safe and stylish wagons. In New Zealand, its practicality, comfortable ride, and attractive design make it a popular choice for families and individuals alike. Continuing Volvo's modern design language, it offers a blend of luxury and versatility.
Possible problems include issues with the infotainment system, such as freezing or lagging. Check for any unusual noises from the suspension, particularly the rear. Leaks from coolant hoses, especially in the T6 examples are something to keep an eye on. Battery condition of the 48V systems should also be checked.
In a WOF inspection, pay attention to tyre condition, brake performance, and the operation of all lights. Check the wipers are in good condition too. Suspension components need to be checked diligently. Ensure the operation of the tailgate and that the rear lights are not obstructed or cracked.
The V60 is available with various petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid engine options. Ensure regular servicing to maintain optimal engine performance. Pay attention to the transmission and differential, especially in higher-mileage vehicles. Monitor the condition of the suspension components, as they can wear over time in New Zealand's varied road conditions. Software updates are critical for the infotainment and safety systems.
