Volvo has confirmed full pricing and specification data for the new V60.

It is available to order now, with on-the-road prices starting at £31,810 for the D3 Momentum manual.

A choice of three 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engines is initially offered – D3 and D4 diesels, and a T5 petrol.

Two petrol-electric plug-in Twin Engine hybrids and a second petrol engine are expected to be available within the next 12 months.

Both diesel engines are available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox, while the petrol comes with the eight-speed automatic as standard.

The D3 develops 150PS, with combined fuel consumption of up to 64.2mpg and CO2 emissions from just 117g/km.

Volvo will be at CCIA 2018 

The D4 has 190PS and combined fuel consumption of up to 64.0mpg and CO2 emissions also from just 117g/km.

The petrol T5 offers 250PS and 43.7mpg with 150g/km.

Company car tax starts at just £147 a month for a D3 Momentum manual, while BCH (Business Contract Hire) is from £316 a month, with an initial rental of £1896.

Fleet decision makers can see the new Volvo V60 at CCIA 2018.

Entry-level Momentum versions come equipped with LED headlights, a powered tailgate, two-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch driver’s information display and rear parking sensors.

Volvo’s Sensus touch screen infotainment system is also standard. It includes satellite navigation with lifetime map updates, along with access to a range of cloud-based apps such as Spotify, TuneIn, Google Local Search and Yelp.

The Volvo On Call connected services platform allows drivers to control various functions of the car from a smartphone or smartwatch, including the ability to set the satellite navigation system and heat or cool the cabin remotely. It also holds trip information for the past 100 days, which is perfect for business users claiming fuel expenses.

Inscription models are the most luxurious V60s. They include leather upholstery, powered front seats with memory function, front parking sensors and chrome exterior trim.

Both Momentum and Inscription versions are also available in Pro form. Momentum Pro brings leather upholstery, a head-up display in the windscreen, active bending LED headlights with adaptive shadow technology, handsfree opening for the powered tailgate, and heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Inscription Pro gets these, along with Nappa soft leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and 19” alloy wheels.

An R-Design version will be available later in the year.

Pilot Assist, Volvo’s advanced semi-autonomous drive aid, is available across the V60 range. This assists with the steering (up to 80mph) and controls the acceleration and braking required to keep the car safely within lane markings and at the desired cruising speed or distance from any vehicle in front.

An optional Xenium package is offered (£2,000 on Momentum and Momentum Pro; £1,800 on Inscription and Inscription Pro). This brings a powered tilt and slide panoramic glass sunroof, a 360-degree surround-view parking camera system and Park Assist Pilot, which includes automatic parallel and 90-degree parking.

A premium sound system by Harman Kardon is available (at £825), or a range-topping Bowers & Wilkins system (£2,500).

First deliveries of the new V60 are expected towards the end of summer.
