This is the Volvo XC60, and Mat's about to discover if it's as excellent in 2023 as it was when it was very first released in 2017!
Well for starters, let's take a look at the design. If we're being truthful, it hasn't altered all that much from the original 2017 edition … But that's not necessarily a bad thing! It's got a good-looking, well proportioned side profile, and particular locations featured smart looking chrome trim, such as around the grille at the front. There is the alternative to swap this for black trim, however we 'd certainly select to keep the chrome!
Take an action inside and it's a comparable story with the style of the outside – it's all pretty comparable to how it was back in 2017. The portrait design infotainment system stays, although we're not the greatest fan of it, offered all controls are handled through the touchscreen. Thankfully though it's surrounded by soft touch products throughout the cabin, apart from the odd bit of scratchy plastic dotted around. The current variation of the XC60 also comes with a complete digital dial motorists show!
There are a number of engines to choose from. There's a 2-litre diesel with 197hp, or a 2-litre turbo gas with 250hp. There are likewise two plug-in hybrid editions that use the 2-litre turbo fuel, with the range-topper delivering 455hp. Each includes a 14kWh battery pack and the capability to drive on electric power alone for as much as 43 miles.
When it pertains to the rate, an entry-level XC60 begins with just under ₤ 48,000, increasing all the method as much as around ₤ 68,000! So provided the design has barely altered in the last couple of years, is it truly worth it? Or should you opt for something like a Mercedes GLC or Audi Q5 instead? Let us understand in the remarks!
