Volvo V60 Polestar review: return of the banzai Swedish estate?

Volvo doesn’t make many out and out performance cars – when it does they’re usually pretty good.

Volvo V60 Polestar
A very real alternative to the usual suspects in the the quick estate game

Business Car Manager Verdict

Not an out and out hardcore driving machine, but congratulations should be given to Polestar for turning the Volvo V60 into such a well-engineered, likeable and fast car.

Add the V60 Polestar’s subtle Q car styling, refined ride, plus spacious interior and you’ve got an interesting alternative to the established opposition.

This V60 is a promising start to Volvo models with the blue Polestar badge on the back; we hope Polestar breathes its magic performance wand on another Volvo model soon.
