Design & Style

With comfortable seats for five passengers, the V60 is one wagon that you will be delighted to try. It has plenty of room to accommodate taller passengers. Thanks to the amount of legroom where one can stretch out especially during a long ride. Leather upholstery is standard and is accentuated by wood trims. This makes the car even look more elegant than usual.
