Car Profiles - Volvo V60

VOLVO V60

Essentially a wagon version of the S60 sedan, the V60 carries all the traits its sedan brother carries. As always, there's an array of safety features and a stylish cabin but space is decent enough.

The Good: Looks good
The Bad: Falls short in trunk space

Price Range: P3,095,000
