The Volvo V60, available to test drive with TMS Coventry at its London Road showroom, offers extensive carrying capacity yet effortlessly combines sophisticated styling, high levels of comfort and specification with the versatility of a sportswagon.

Four petrol engines – 150 PS; 180 PS; 240 PS; and the top-of-the-range 304 PS capable of 155 mph and 0-60 mph in just 5.9 seconds; and two diesel engines – a 163 PS D3 and a 205 PS D5 – were joined by the DRIVe version this spring.

Whether you’re ferrying kids with all their paraphernalia, you’re a dog lover or you need to transport your skis, mountain bikes or scuba gear, the Volvo V60 has been developed with you in mind.

But this isn’t a boxy, boring, practical estate, the Volvo V60 maintains its coupé-like styling, in fact, from the B-pillar, it’s identical to its S60 saloon sibling.

The re-designed tail enables a generous boot capacity of 430 litres to the window line and when loaded to the roof, there’s 557 litres of space; fold the rear seats and load capacity is a capacious 1,241 litres.

TMS Coventry’s managing director Len Hallows said: “For heavy load carrying Volvo has its SUV and crossover range, however, the Volvo V60 has a very specific purpose: it’s a very stylish vehicle with first class driving dynamics and the highest comfort levels but with more space.”

The cabin has been designed for ease of use in a typically Scandinavian minimalistic style but with maximum functionality.

Like all Volvo vehicles, safety is vital and as such the V60 is the world’s first estate to offer Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, the innovative technology introduced on the S60.

Other class-leading safety technologies include City Safety - which avoids low speed impacts up to 30 km/h (19mph); Driver Alert Control (DAC); Blind Spot Information System (BLIS; Lane Departure Warning; and Active Bi-Xenon lights that follow the bends in the road.

The Volvo V60 range is priced from £24,960 for the D3 (163 PS) ES. For more details contact: TMS Coventry on 0844 662 6229
