The 2021 Volvo V60 R-Design B3 is the "cool minimalist" of the car world. It avoids the aggressive "look at me" vibe of a BMW or Merc, favoring a sharp, architectural design that has aged incredibly well. Here is the punchy breakdown of why it's a winner: 1. The Stealth Hybrid (B3 Engine) The Tech: It's a 2.0L petrol with a 48V electric "boost." It's not a plug-in, so there's no charging anxiety, just smoother gear shifts and better fuel economy. The Perk: It's fully Euro 6 / ULEZ compliant, meaning you can drive into any UK clean air zone without paying a penny. 2. The "R-Design" Look Exterior: You get the "black-out" treatmenthigh-gloss black grille, window surrounds, and mirror caps. It looks expensive and sporty rather than "family-functional." Interior: Features Volvo's famous Contour Sports Seats (widely considered the most comfortable seats in the car industry) and a leather-clad sports steering wheel. 3.

The "Thor" Lights: Those T-shaped LED headlights aren't just iconic; they offer incredible visibility, making night driving feel significantly less draining. 4. The 2026 Resale "Edge" Tax Break: Because your car turns 5 years old in 2026, the "Premium Car Tax" (the extra 400+ yearly surcharge for cars that cost over 40k new) expires this year. This makes your car much cheaper to tax for the next ownerbe sure to mention this! The Estate Comeback: While everyone else bought SUVs, the V60 has become the "thinking person's" choice. It's easier to park, handles better, and has a massive 529-litre Boot. Recently fitted towbar complete with electrics
