The new Volvo V60 station wagon (Volvo B60) was officially presented on February 21, 2018 on the eve of the world premiere in 2018, even a little earlier than the debut of the new generation Volvo S60 sedan. In our review new Volvo V60 2018-2019 – price and configuration, photos and videos, specifications 2 generations of the Swedish station wagon. The new generation of the “sixty”, having moved to the modular SPA 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 Volvo V60 station wagon in Europe will cost from 40,100 euros for a 150-horsepower diesel Volvo version V60 D3 and from 49,500 euros for the petrol 310-horsepower version of the Volvo V60 T6. The “sixty” station wagon will not be officially sold in Russia; Russian car enthusiasts should wait for the new generation Volvo S60 sedan and the Volvo V60 Cross Country all-terrain station wagon.

When creating the new generation of the Volvo V60 station wagon, the designers of the Swedish manufacturer chased not two, but three birds with one stone.

• Firstly, the “sixty” should be similar to its older brother, the station wagon.
• Secondly, it also demonstrates kinship with the new crossover.
• Thirdly, have your own original image.

As a result, we have a kind of symbiosis of Volvo V90, Volvo XC60 and something new. But to be honest, the new V60 looks like younger brother V90 models. There is a stylish and bright front part of the car body, decorated branded headlights"Thor's Hammer" head light, 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. There is a long hood, huge cutouts of the wheel arches, doors with a high window sill, compact glass and powerful relief, an almost flat roof line, a solid rear with hind wings, complemented by lush stampings.

The rear of the station wagon is awarded with large, sweeping side lights with LED filling, a regular rectangle of the tailgate with compact glass, topped with a spoiler and a massive bumper with bright aerodynamic elements.

I would like to add on my own behalf that new station wagon The Volvo V60, like other modern models from the Swedish manufacturer, looks expensive and aristocratic. At the same time, the new product clearly demonstrates commitment to the brand’s corporate style.

• External dimensions The 2018-2019 Volvo V60 bodies are 4761 mm long, with a wheelbase of 2872 mm.

Compared to its predecessor, the body of the new 2nd generation model has increased in length by as much as 126 mm, and the size of the wheelbase has increased by 96 mm. Such a significant increase in the overall overall length and distance between the axles made it possible to significantly increase not only the interior, but also the trunk. With standard backrest position rear seats the trunk is capable of holding 529 liters (for reference, the predecessor has only 430 liters, the Volvo XC60 crossover has 505 liters, and the older brother Volvo V90 has 560 liters), with the second row seats folded down, the useful volume of the luggage compartment increases to 1364 liters (for the Volvo V90 station wagon - 1526 liters, and the Volvo XC60 crossover has 1432 liters). Let's add to the trunk arsenal an underground compartment, the volume of which is not taken into account by the manufacturer, and a servo drive for the tailgate.

The interior of the new Volvo V60 station wagon was inherited from the Volvo XC60 crossover with all branded attributes modern models Volvo. Available digital instrument panel, stylish steering wheel, a solid front panel and center console, a wide tunnel between the front seats with a comfortable armrest, advanced multimedia with a 9.5-inch screen (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Wi-Fi, Volvo On Call application), CleanZone climate control, providing various temperature in 4 zones of the cabin, highly comfortable driver's seats and front passenger with a full range of functions (electric drive, heating, ventilation, massage), rear seats with heating and ventilation, huge a roof with a panoramic view with a sunroof equipped with an electric drive, high-quality finishing materials and, of course, wide range electronic systems security and assistants.

The new station wagon is capable of moving in semi-automatic mode on the highway (Pilot Assist system), taking into account markings, turns and other vehicles on the road, brake and accelerate independently, and the City Safety system will provide safe movement in urban conditions and, if necessary, will independently stop the car when pedestrians, animals or cyclists are detected on the road in front of the car, and will indicate the presence of obstacles when maneuvering in reverse and driving through intersections (monitors cross traffic).

Specifications Volvo V60 2018-2019.

Volvo V60 2018-2019 video test

There is not much time left, and new items are pouring in one after another as if from a cornucopia. Volvo joined the marathon, presenting its updated 60 series station wagon yesterday.

The mid-size new product is very similar to its full-size brother - 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 simplify the task, let's draw parallels between the two cars together.

So, the first impression: the models look like twin brothers. But is this really so?

Look how much taller the V60 feels compared to the V90. While (located at the top of the photo) seems to be spread out on the ground, the new "car" of the Volvo line - the V60 model - on the contrary, has more vertical proportions. This is, of course, due to the fact that the base, length and width of the new product are smaller, despite the fact that the cabin capacity for passenger comfort has remained virtually unchanged.

Volvo is a unique automaker. This is especially clearly 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, the cars have a unique combination of premiumness, style and are not at all intended for use as a utilitarian car.

Tell me honestly, who would want to purposefully purchase one of these beauties to take their 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, will be used for household chores.

The new cars fit the description of the Sportback station wagon, which is certainly roomier than a sedan, but not as roomy as a full-fledged station wagon.

- from the beginning of history to the V90 model:

To prove that we are right, it’s 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 travel bag and a couple of larger bags will fit here, but boards or a furniture set from Ikea are unlikely. You can, of course, fold down the rear seat backs, but creamy Nappa leather is unlikely to survive such experiments.

V60, however, is more like the old ones Volvo station wagons 90s than its full-size cousin. View from above:

Pay attention to the fifth doors of 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 skeletons of the bodies. 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 pillars are (top of photo). They are designed to withstand the harshest impacts.

Technical data of the 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 simply by being bigger, but the V60 seems to have a more efficient, 'universal' platform. Therefore, in our opinion, the V60 can safely be labeled as a station wagon, while the V90 is still closer to the shooting brake body.

At the beginning of this year, the presentation of the new Volvo B 60 2018-2019 took place. Car enthusiasts were introduced to Volvo at a special event, and the official presentation will take place at the Geneva Motor Show 2018. We will present a description of the exterior and interior, photos, equipment of the new Volvo V60 and technical specifications.

new Volvo V60 2018-2019 station wagon

The car has a stylish appearance combining all the traditions of Swedish developers. When creating a design of this car The development engineers pursued several important goals: the new product must correspond to its brother, retain all the charms of the model, and have a unique style.

As a result of the work done, what do we see? Before us is a car that equally combines all the advantages of the prototypes and a unique style. Let's look at the front of the model; the interestingly shaped headlights and the miniature and original radiator grille stand out here.

On the side there is a massive and oblong hood and voluminous wheel arches. The windows have a standard shape and a high line of window sills. From the side, the Volvo V60 2019 has a very sporty and dynamic style.

At the rear there are large side lights with LED filling. The tailgate is rectangular in shape and has a spoiler at the top.

The new model meets all the standards and traditions of Swiss manufacturers, appearance It has a presentable appearance that will certainly interest many car enthusiasts. New body The Volvo V60 station wagon has an elongated body, but this does not interfere with the car in any way; the design developers took into account all the details and created an excellent car. The presented car is clearly presentable; such a car can be used by a group or a family, but it is certainly not designed for transporting goods.

The interior of the new car was inherited from its famous predecessor Volvo XC60, but naturally with the addition of new and modern devices. The central place in the cabin is occupied by a multifunction console with touch display and a host of technological entertainment devices. The V60 station wagon features an adaptive virtual console with the latest devices that won't let you get bored long journey. It will be very convenient for the driver to drive the car; there is a multifunctional steering wheel, a large number of assistant buttons and a scale for monitoring the condition of the car while driving.

In front there are seats trimmed with high-quality materials and a full range of functional systems. The seats of the first and second rows are heated and ventilated. It is worth noting that the seats have a sporty structure with good lateral support.

A convenient lever is equipped to change gears; everything in the cabin is provided for the convenience of passengers and the driver. The second row can comfortably accommodate two passengers of any size; for comfort, there is a table between the seats. The table has the ability to fold, thereby freeing up space for a third passenger, a very convenient feature. According to the wishes and capabilities of buyers, there is the opportunity to choose the color design of the interior.

The luggage compartment of the Volvo V 60 has a good capacity of 529 liters (for example, the older model Volvo V90 has this parameter of 560 liters), and due to the transformation of the second row of seats, the volume increases three times and amounts to 1,364 liters. Based on the above and as the developers of the Volvo automobile concern themselves report, driving on the roads will only be a pleasure.

We present the main indicators of the 2019 Volvo B 60 size range:

— station wagon length 4 meters 761 mm;
— wheelbase 2,872 mm;
— weight, depending on the configuration, varies from 1 ton 712 to 1 ton 836 kilograms.

Let's present a list of devices in basic configuration new station wagon:

A set of full functionality when driving a car - recognition of road signs, visibility of blind spots, an emergency prevention system, an autopilot option when driving on flat roads at speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour, heating and ventilation of all seats in the cabin (front seats with electric drive and massage), glass (panoramic) roof, 4-zone climate control, interior decoration with high-quality materials, installation of a modern and multifunctional media system with a 9.5-inch display, work with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Volvo On Call applications, Wi-Fi Fi, a wide range of control functionality, LED lighting for side and head lamps.

Photo gallery of the 2018-2019 Volvo B60 station wagon:

Volvo V60 is a front- or all-wheel drive premium station wagon in the mid-size category (aka “D-segment” according to European standards), which, along with its elegant design, spacious interior and modern technology, can boast of high everyday practicality... It is addressed to family people (often with one or more children) who need a “multifunctional but stylish vehicle”...

“Live” presentation of the second-generation cargo-passenger model, which the Swedes themselves consider “the embodiment of the ideal family car”, took place on February 21, 2018 - in the driveway of a “typical” residential building in Stockholm.

As a result of the “reincarnation”, the five-door was dressed in the “family” design of the Scandinavian brand, “moved” to the modular SPA platform, received powerful four-cylinder engines and was “armed” with a huge amount of modern equipment.

From the outside, the second generation Volvo V60 was a sight to behold - the station wagon flaunts attractive, energetic and aerodynamically adjusted body contours. The gloomy “face” of the car is decorated with stylish optics with LED “Thor’s hammers”, a laconic radiator grille and a “curly” bumper, and its powerful rear is crowned with spectacular L-shaped lights and a bumper with a pair of exhaust pipes.

Despite the cargo-passenger body, in profile the car attracts attention with its swift outlines with a long hood, embossed “splashes” on the sidewalls, a falling roof line and regular strokes of the wheel arches.

The “second” Volvo V60 is a typical representative of the D-class by European standards: its length extends to 4671 mm, its width is 1850 mm, and its height does not exceed 1427 mm. The gap between the wheel pairs reaches 2872 mm in the five-door, and its ground clearance equals 128 mm.

The “combat” weight of the vehicle varies from 1625 to 1690 kg (depending on the modification).

Inside, the 2019 Volvo V60 has a beautiful and modern, but Scandinavian, discreet and minimalist design.

The center console is almost completely occupied by a 9-inch screen of the infotainment complex, which contains built-in control of all secondary functions, and workplace The driver “flaunts” a virtual instrument cluster and a textured three-spoke multi-steering wheel.

The interior of the station wagon is thought out from an ergonomic point of view and is finished exclusively with premium materials: high-quality leather, aluminum, natural wood, pliable plastics, etc.

The Volvo V60's interior boasts ample storage free space for all riders without exception. The front seats are equipped with seats with an excellent profile, developed sidewalls, heating and a large number of electrical adjustments. In the back there is a comfortable sofa that can accommodate three adult passengers (although the person sitting in the center will have to put up with a high tunnel).

The trunk of the premium station wagon has an ideal shape, and in its standard state it is capable of “absorbing” 529 liters of luggage (when loaded under the curtain). The second row of seats is compared to the floor in two unequal sections, as a result of which the volume of the “hold” increases to 841 liters (when placing luggage under the roof - 1364 liters). A compact spare tire and tools are hidden in the car's underground niche.

For the second generation Volvo V60 (at first), two aluminum four-cylinder engines from the modular Drive-E family with a displacement of 2.0 liters (1969 cubic centimeters):

• First option - diesel engine with turbocharger, i-Art battery fuel injection, intercooling charge air and a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, provided in several power levels:
  • 150 horsepower at 3750 rpm and 320 Nm of torque at 1750-3000 rpm;
  • 190 hp at 4250 rpm and 400 Nm of rotational potential at 1750-2500 rpm.
• Second - gasoline unit with turbocharging, Eaton supercharger drive, direct feed, phase shifters on both camshafts, variable oil pump and balancer shafts, which generates 310 hp. at 5700 rpm and 400 Nm of peak thrust at 2200-5100 rpm.

Diesel engines are combined with a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission and driven front wheels, but the petrol four only rely on automatic transmission gears and all-wheel drive transmission with a Haldex multi-plate clutch in the drive rear axle(up to 50% of the torque can go there).

The station wagon is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 205-220 km/h, depending on the modification, and reaches the second “hundred” after 5.8-9.9 seconds.

Diesel versions “digest” from 4.3 to 4.6 liters of fuel for every 100 km in combined mode, and the gasoline version – about 7.5 liters.

The “second” Volvo V60 is based on a modular SPA platform with a fixed distance from the front axle to the pedal assembly and a transverse arrangement power plant. The car body structure combines steel of different strengths and a small amount of aluminum.

The front station wagon is equipped with an independent double wishbone suspension, and at the rear – a multi-link system with a transverse composite spring (“in a circle” – with hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizers). For an additional fee, the “Swede” can be equipped with a pneumatic chassis with adaptive shock absorbers.

The cargo-passenger model is equipped with a rack and pinion steering mechanism with electric amplifier, the motor of which is mounted on a rack. All wheels of the five-door are equipped disc brakes(ventilated in the front) with ABS, EBD and a bunch of other modern assistants.

The second-generation Volvo V60 will celebrate its full-scale debut in March 2018 – at the stands of the international Geneva Motor Show, and will reach European dealers in September (you shouldn’t expect its appearance in Russia).

According to preliminary data, the cost of the car in England will start at 31,810 pounds sterling (~2.5 million rubles).

A rich list of equipment is announced for the premium station wagon: six airbags, virtual instrument cluster, climate control, heated and electric seats, ABS, ESP, LED optics, Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, leather interior trim, technology for recognizing pedestrians, cyclists and large animals, and much more.

The line of new models of the Swedish brand Volvo has been replenished with the updated Volvo V60 station wagon for 2018-2019. The public premiere of the second generation car will take place in March at Geneva Motor Show, however, almost all the data was disclosed on February 21. The Swedish new product sets the highest bar for the segment mid-size cars premium. The model's arsenal includes a modern modular platform SPA, a luxurious and roomy interior with advanced electronic equipment, a whole host of driver assistance systems, a wide range of engines with two options for hybrid power plants.
