If you look around your local supermarket carpark and spot a Volvo, there’s a good chance it will be an XC60.

This mid-size SUV rival to the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes GLC, Genesis GV70 and Lexus NX is one of the brand’s most popular models. In fact, in 2021, it outsold the smaller XC40 by one single vehicle to be the brand’s bestseller.

And now, this go-to Volvo model has seen some updates, with new electrified powertrains, updated Google built-in infotainment, and exterior styling changes, too. The prices have shifted as well, and so have the names of the variants - the T5, T6 and T8 Polestar are gone, replaced by B5, B6 and Recharge Plug-in Hybrid.

The one we’re in here is the B6 R-Design, which sits near the top of the range. In this review, I’ll tell you what it’s like as a family SUV - myself, my partner, and our seven-month-old daughter got to know it very well.
