You didn’t think there’d be a list of luxury family cars without a Volvo wagon on it, did you? And, because Volvo has a strong history of fast wagons, we’ve gone for the smaller, spicier V60 Recharge, a plug-in hybrid with 455 hp, a 4.3-second 0-60 mph time, and 41 miles of all-electric range. Oh, and the only trim is the Polestar Engineered, which means you get Brembo brakes and Ohlins dampers to make sure the V60 Recharge handles like a champ.
It seats five occupants in two rows, and with up to 60.5 cubic feet of storage space (22.5 behind the rear seats), it’s exceptionally practical when you need it to be, without the compromised driving dynamics of a high-riding SUV.
Because Volvo is, well, Volvo, it’s packed with safety and innovation, with DrivePilot hands-free adaptive cruise control, Google built-in, a sublime Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and a plethora of driver assistance systems.
