The CarGurus verdict
The first XC60 played an important part in Volvo's move upmarket. It preserved The first XC60 played an important part in Volvo's move upmarket. It preserved the safety and practicality that Volvo's traditional customers appreciate, while adding design flair to tempt buyers away from the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Land Rover Freelander.

A used Volvo XC60 may not be the most exciting car to drive, but otherwise there's so much to like. The diesel engines are strong and reasonably economical, and the ride is comfortable so long as you avoid the R-Design with its stiffer suspension. The cabin is very well built, and can take high mileages without undue signs of wear and tear.

With the City Safety autonomous braking system, the XC60 was well ahead of most rivals. It's not just this clever tech that makes the Volvo one of the safest SUVs of its kind, though, because EuroNCAP crash tests show that it holds up very well in a crash, too.

The petrols are thirsty, but a diesel XC60 makes a very good used car.
