Our Volvo V60 R-Design (Ice White, Black half-leather/Nubuck) from Hitchin Autohaus has covered 92,050 miles and it feels purpose-built for real life: dogs in the back, kids on board, a boot full of kit—and you still arrive with that cool, unmistakable R-Design swagger. Open the tailgate and you’ll see why owners swear by these: a long, flat load bay with soft-close load cover, the factory nylon load-protection net to keep pets secure, folding rear headrests to maximise space, tough R-Design floor mats, and integrated black roof rails ready for your box, bike rack or dog cage. It’s quiet, solid, unfussy—and built like a Swedish kennel on wheels.

Slide into the driver’s seat and it’s all premium, all purposeful. The 8" Digital Driver Display puts crisp, configurable info right where you need it. The R-Design sports wheel, gear knob and aluminium pedals feel spot-on; R-Design aluminium trims, black headlining and theatre-style interior lighting lift the cabin at night. Tech is exactly what you want on a daily: Sensus Navigation (Europe maps), Sensus Connect High Performance audio (8 speakers, DAB, USB/AUX, Bluetooth for calls and streaming), voice control, multifunction steering wheel, and proper dual-zone Electronic Climate Control with pollen filtration. Practical touches show Volvo thought about real owners: ticket holder, illuminated vanity mirrors, centre armrest, lockable wheel bolts, repair kit & compressor, and that load cover + safety net combo you’ll use every single day.

Out on the road the V60’s reputation makes sense. The D5 2.4-litre 5-cylinder turbo-diesel (215 PS / 440 Nm) with 6-speed automatic pulls cleanly and sounds just a little bit special—refined at cruise, muscular when loaded. Chassis tuning is the sweet spot: R-Design lowered sport chassis with Advanced Stability Control, DSTC and Torque Vectoring for tidy, predictable handling without losing Volvo comfort. Braking and visibility are confident thanks to big discs, LED daytime running lights and those signature R-Design mirrors and rear spoiler.

Safety? It’s a Volvo—stacked with the good stuff. City Safety, SIPS with dual-chamber side airbags, Inflatable Curtains, WHIPS whiplash protection, front, side, curtain and passenger airbag cut-off, ISOFIX, electronic parking brake, tyre-pressure monitoring (indirect EU algorithm), and a full alarm with level and movement sensors. Exactly the kit you want protecting family and pets.
