Description:
The Volvo XC60 is the compact (crossover) option of Volvo’s three available SUVs, and comes in 10 different pre-packaged models. The models are split into variations of 2 groups: 4 variations of a 3.2 litre front-wheel drive (FWD), 6-cylinder engine (3.2 FWD, 3.2 FWD Premier, 3.2 FWD Platinum); and 6 variations T6 of a 3.0 litre all-wheel-drive (AWD), 6-cylinder engine (T6 AWD, T6 AWD Premier Plus, T6 AWD Platinum, T6 AWD R-Design Premier Plus, T6 AWD R-Design Platinum). Differences between models in each group are found in the equipment and accessories that are added to them, based on a sliding scale, with more standard features included with Premier Plus and Platinum than Premier models (e.g. the 3.2 Premier Plus comes with standard Keyless Drive and Personal Car Communication, whereas the 3.2 and 3.2 Premier do not). The base 3.2 litre, 240 horsepower (hp) engine is controlled by a 6-speed automatic transmission and capable of producing 236 pound-feet (lb.-ft.) of torque; and the upgraded 3.0 litre, 325 horsepower (hp) is controlled by a 6-speed automatic transmission and capable of producing 354 pound-feet (lb.-ft.) of torque. The 3.2 models can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, while the 3.0 models can do so in 7.6 seconds. Feature highlights include City Safety collision avoidance technology (for automated monitoring and braking at speeds up to 30 km/h), a Laminated Panoramic Roof, and Air Quality System that monitors and filters incoming cabin air for a range of air-borne toxins.
