Volvo V60 and V90 back on sale: prices and specs

Volvo has re-launched the V60 and V90 estate cars in the UK, after axing them last year.

The move is said to be in response to a recent surge in demand for estate cars.

A limited line-up of engines and trim levels are offered on both models.

The V60 can be had with a mild-hybrid petrol engine (B4) or one of two plug-in hybrids (T6 and T8).

V90 models are all plug-in hybrids, with the choice of T6 or T8 powertrains offered.

Both cars are available in Plus and Ultra trim levels.

Previously, the brand switched its model range to SUV-only and moved the focus to electric powertrains. The S60 and S90 saloons were also discontinued.

Only the estate models have made a comeback, however.

Volvo V60 pricing

The V60 is priced from £43,370, in B4 Plus guise or £48,070 for the B4 Ultra. The T6 can be had in Plus trim, only, for £50,935. T8 variants come in Ultra guise, starting at £57,635.

The V60 B4 has CO2 emissions of 143 - 144g/km, attracting 33% benefit-in-kind tax. The T6 and T8 both sit in the 8% tax band as they can cover more than 50 miles on a single charge.
