What features does the Volvo XC60 have?

The Volvo XC60 is a popular addition to the luxury, compact SUV market. It’s sleek and handsomely designed, and comes available in range of trims and a choice on engines.    

The XC60 Inscription is the luxury trim that includes touches like Nappa leather perforated seats, while the XC60 R-Design is the sports trim that offers extra styling for an edgier look.    

The XC60 R-Design Pro is the top-level spec in the latest line-up, getting all the best equipment and a choice of engines.

These include the mild hybrid option, and the full-on plug-in hybrid – both great for fuel economy.    

Even the entry-level trims get a whole lot of tech and added features. The XC60 Core is the standard model but feels anything but that.

You’ll get built-in Google features like maps and hands-free assistant, and Google Play for additional apps and services.    

Space-wise, you’ll get five seats in the XC60 and between 468-483 litres of boot space depending on the model.   

Is the Volvo XC60 reliable?

Volvo is one of those brands that strives to make the most reliable and safest cars money can buy.

Since the brand started making tanks in the early 1940s, its cars have inherited a bulletproof nature thanks to solid engines and impeccable build quality. 

Whether you choose a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid, you’re getting an incredibly reliable car that’ll run for many miles to come. 

As we touched on above, the Volvo XC60 is very safe, scoring a full five stars following its most recent Euro NCAP safety tests. This signified high adult and child occupant protection.  

Every new Volvo comes with a standard three-year warranty, with plug-in hybrid models benefitting from an eight-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.

This can be passed on to subsequent owners, but if you buy a used Volvo XC60, add cinchCare to your purchase to benefit from extra protection for your vehicle. 

How much does the Volvo XC60 cost to run?

There are a few Volvo XC60 models to pick from, and each one has different priorities when it comes to getting on the road. Luckily, each one feels sleek and easy to drive, with a pop of power when you need it.    

The mild-hybrid diesel models are a great shout for efficient everyday driving, while still offering a high-performance flare.   

The latest B4 diesel engine option claims it can hit 0-62mph in just 8.3 seconds, with 197hp. It’s a great all-rounder that will suit many motorists.   

There’s also the petrol B5 all-wheel drive model that offers 250hp, that official statistics say can hit 0-62mph in just 6.9 seconds.  This one's a nippier choice that’s still practical for daily use. 

Despite the range of engines, you do get between 36mpg and 44mpg, which is ideal for most people. 

Who is the Volvo XC60 suitable for?

A used Volvo XC60 is ideal for families and working professionals alike.

The former can make the most of its large boot and great storage options, and the latter can benefit from its comfortable seats and advanced tech. 

But no matter which Volvo you choose, you’re in for a treat. This is just a great option that sits below the XC90 but above the XC40. 

Rivals include the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLC.
