Expert Reviews
From the B-pillar forward, the XC60 could be mistaken for the bigger SUV. The upright fascia houses a similar grille, flanked by high-mounted headlights adorned with Volvo’s Thor’s Hammer sideways-T LED light graphic. The transverse-engine XC60 self-consciously sucks in its front overhang, and the hood traces a relatively straight line to the base of the windshield.
Pros
Classy looks inside and out,
roomier rear seat,
improved handling,
lots of standard equipment.
Cons
Nervous steering,
no front-drive model at launch.
The 2018 Volvo XC60 ranked #7 in Luxury Compact SUVs. Currently the Volvo XC60 has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 17 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros

With the new 2018 XC60, Volvo has cached all the XC90’s good data, and trimmed some fat from its code.
Pros

Interior is achingly on-trend
Eager turbo-4 performance
Excellent packaging
Plug-in hybrid option
Cons
Exterior’s a little me-too
Lifeless steering in most modes
Hefty in most editions
