The VOLVO V60 (2010-13) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 D3 DPF SS 136 EU5 SE 6SPD is a premium five-door estate, competing with the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant. Its sleek, car-like shape is less bulky than an SUV, while the long boot brings practical space for family life. With its 136-horsepower diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox, this V60 suits commuters and families covering regular journeys, with room for passengers and luggage. Volvo’s comfort-focused cabin, solid feel and safety reputation are key attractions; the SE trim offers a well-equipped, understated alternative to sportier German estates in its class. mycarcheck.com has recorded 43 checks covering 23 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a full-market survey.
