2016 Volvo V60 Price & Specs

Volvo has cut back its range of combustion-powered models as it gears up to go all-electric locally by 2026.

The Volvo S60 sedan and V60 Cross Country wagon will continue to be offered in Australia, though their future is under a cloud.

Volvo Cars Australia has given the majority of its model price increases by between $500 and $4000, depending on the variant.

Volvo Car Australia has recalled four models to fix a problem with the cooling system in Australia.

Volvo has announced all of its new vehicles will now support over-the-air updates, including the XC90, S60 and V60.

The Volvo wagon range has been trimmed back to one model and one variant. Thankfully, the V60 Cross Country is a very good thing.

Want that rough-road ground clearance without the conventional SUV image? There are several options available.

The S60 and V60 are the latest Volvos to get the new Android-based operating system. They should reach Australian dealerships mid-year.

You could stick with the German establishment, or you could take a bit of a risk and buy one of these excellent luxury cars that consumers overlook.

J T purchased this Volvo V60 new with additional options for $73,000 (including all on-road costs). J T would buy this car again because: "The V60 Cross Country is peak Volvo, combining the capability of an SUV and the dynamics of a sedan in a brilliant looking jacked-up wagon. Feature-rich, astoundingly comfortable and solidly-built, it represents an all-around great value when compared against its luxury and non-luxury competitors."

2019-20 Volvo S60, V60, XC60 and XC90 models could stall due to a low pressure fuel pump fuse.

Volvo's high-riding alternative to the Audi A4 Allroad will hit dealers in August 2021, priced from $64,990 before on-road costs.

Volvo giveth, but Volvo taketh away. The V60 Cross Country is set to touch down in Australia in the second half of 2021, but it won't sit alongside the regular V60 wagon when it does.

Volvo's more rugged-looking V60 variant, the V60 Cross Country, is still on its way to Australia but it'll arrive a little later than expected in the second half of next year.

The S60 and V60 are Volvo's sedan and wagon rivals for the BMW 3 Series, with prices starting from $55,990 before on-roads for the S60 and $57,990 before on-roads for the V60.

The last-gen Volvo 60 Series range has been hit with another recall, with more four-cylinder diesel models at risk of a cooling fault posing a fire hazard.
