Move over, 240, ye old timer. The XC60 is now Volvo's best-selling model yet, with more than 2.7 million sold since its introduction in 2008. Surely a call for some bubbly.

In fact, the XC60 has reached the milestone in two fewer years than the old mobile warehouse, which was built between 1974 and 1993. That’s an average of over 158,000 units per year - or 435 each day - no doubt helped by the decision to branch the XC60 into the Chinese market in 2014, becoming the first globally sold Volvo to do so.

The XC60 was also given a facelift a few months back, bringing with it a bigger 11.2in infotainment screen and fancier upholstery choices as part of a reworked interior.

As for powertrains, the entry-level mild-hybrid ‘B5’ gets a 2.0-litre turbo-four and 48-volt battery. They combine for 247bhp and a 0-62mph time of 6.9s.

Go one-up, and there’s a choice of two plug-in hybrids. The mid-spec ‘T6’ produces 345bhp and gets to 62mph in 5.7s, while the range-topping ‘T8’ jumps to 449bhp and does the customary speed run in under five seconds. Thanks to an 18.8KWh battery pack, both can achieve a claimed 51 miles of clean, green driving.

If you’re interested in supporting the XC60’s ascent to world dominion, prices currently start at £48,410 for the mild-hybrid, or £55,360 for the PHEV.
