Description
Very well-equipped 2013 Volvo XC60 D5 R-Design AWD Geartronic, with the excellent 2.4-litre five-cylinder turbo diesel producing 215bhp and 440Nm.
This has been a brilliant family and long-distance car, which is exactly what I bought it for. It's extremely comfortable on the motorway, has loads of effortless torque, plenty of room for passengers and luggage, and the AWD system makes it a reassuring car all year round.
It's a particularly high-spec example, with front and rear parking cameras, front and rear parking sensors, heated R-Design leather seats, electric driver's seat with 3-position memory, power tailgate, Active Bending Xenon headlights, satellite navigation, power-folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass and cruise control.
It also has Volvo's excellent Premium Sound Multimedia system, with 12 speakers and 650W amplification, plus Bluetooth audio, USB and AUX connectivity. The sound quality is genuinely excellent and makes it a particularly nice car for longer journeys.
For family use, there's a large boot with power-operated tailgate, ISOFIX points, split-folding rear seats, plenty of rear passenger space and privacy glass. Despite its size, having cameras and parking sensors at both the front and rear makes it very easy to manoeuvre.
The car has been well maintained during my ownership, including:
Major service - May 2026
Gearbox oil changed - May 2026
Haldex pump replaced - May 2026
2 new Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres - May 2026
New battery - December 2025
Auxiliary belt & tensioner - December 2025
2 rear Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres - June 2025
Major service by IV Services Volvo specialists - January 2025
New radiator - October 2024
Full coolant flush with OEM Volvo coolant - October 2024
New front brake pads - May 2024
It therefore has four relatively recent matching Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres, as well as recent attention to the gearbox and AWD system.
Last major serviced May 2026. MOT until 16 June 2027.
The five-cylinder D5 is one of the highlights of this generation of XC60. It's smooth and characterful with plenty of low-down torque, and combined with the Geartronic automatic gearbox, comfortable R-Design interior and AWD, it's a superb motorway and family car.
A very practical, comfortable and unusually well-equipped XC60 that's been properly maintained during my ownership.
