The station wagon is alive and well and you want the one that I am writing about this week. No that’s not a misprint. By the time you read all five parts of this review, you’ll be wanting to go to your local Volvo dealer and get yourself a Volvo V60 R-Design Platinum sport wagon. If you’re still skeptical, let me start with how it looks:
From the front it looks good but it really doesn’t give away its sporting intentions. Though it does have a very unique look that isn’t polarizing.
Those in the know will make note of the R-Design badge on the grille.
From the site it looks very sleek.
And these wheels when combined with the shade of red really make this Volvo stand out from the crowd.
So does the aluminium trim on the side mirrors.
Dual tailpipes and a rear diffuser make it clear that this isn’t your dad’s Volvo.
And those in the know will note the blue Polestar badge which signifies the fact that this is the successor to legendary Volvo wagons such as the 850R and the V70R.
I’ll be posting a multi-part review that will cover the following sections:
- Engine, transmission, handling, fuel economy, and driving comfort
- Interior
- Technology in the vehicle
- Wrap up
Tune in tomorrow to see how the engine in this Volvo puts this wagon to the front of the class.
