Volvo estates make shock return to UK after resurgence in demand

VOLVO IS BRINGING its estate cars back to the UK, having taken them off sale last year to focus on SUVs.

New UK-bound variants of the 4.8m-long V60 and 4.9m-long V90 are due back on sale in July, thanks to a resurgence in demand for estate cars.

Their saloon equivalents, the S60 and $90, aren't scheduled to make a return, however.

The V60 will be offered with the choice of a 2.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine, producing 197bhp and capable of 0-62mph in 7.6sec, and a pair of petrol plug-in hybrid powertrains with 350bhp and 455bhp.
