Volvo V60 Boot Size: 529 Litres — Premium Estate Practicality for Rental Travellers
The Volvo V60 (Z2, 2018–present) has a 529L boot with a flat load floor, 107 cm wide floor, and 75 cm aperture height. It's less spacious than German rivals but easier to load and better built. Full guide.
The Volvo V60 (second generation, 2018–present) is the premium alternative to German estates like the VW Passat (650L) and BMW 3 Series Touring (500L). Its 529L boot is smaller than both, but its flat load floor, very low load sill, and wide aperture make the loading experience genuinely easier. For travellers who value convenience over raw cubic litres, the V60 earns its place.
Volvo V60 Boot Dimensions (Z2, 2018–present)
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Boot volume | 529 litres |
| Floor width | 107 cm |
| Load depth | 91 cm |
| Internal height | 76 cm |
| Aperture width | 105 cm |
| Aperture height | 75 cm |
| Load sill height | ~58 cm |
The 58 cm sill height is one of the lowest of any estate car in rental fleets — lower than the Passat (60 cm), Ceed SW (62 cm), and Superb (62 cm). This makes a real difference when lifting heavy bags over the sill. The 75 cm aperture height lets large check-in bags (76 cm) in at a near-upright tilt. The 91 cm depth is shorter than rivals but still accommodates two bags stacked front-to-back.

V60 vs. Passat Estate and BMW 3 Series Touring
The Passat Estate (650L) carries significantly more. The BMW 3 Series Touring (500L sedan / 500L Touring) has a comparable volume but a lower aperture height. The V60 sits between them in practicality. Its real advantage over the BMW is the load sill height — 58 cm vs. the BMW Touring's ~68 cm — which makes repeated loading and unloading during a multi-stop trip noticeably less tiring. Available primarily in European fleets; rare in Australia and North America.
