The XC60 puts Volvo into the heart of the competitive small premium SUV market segment
Freelander 2, albeit one that’s longer between the wheels as well as from nose to tail, and it’s wider.
There are many variants, but the big sellers were the 2.0-litre D4 , with a choice of front- and intelligent four-wheel drive, and the four-wheel-drive-only 2.4-litre D5. The XC60 places a comfortable ride over keen handling. The steering isn't very communicative and the body rolls in corners. If that offends you, choose sportier R-Design spec for its stiffer suspension and anti-roll bars.The XC60 was facelifted in 2013, gaining a more rounded look and a refreshed sat-nav display inside, while an eight-speed auto 'box replaced the six-speeder in the D4 and T6 models.
You’ll feel instantly at home if you’ve ever experienced one before, the location and style of the switches, dials and buttons lifted directly from other models. It’s none the worse for it either, with neat touches such as the floating console with storage space behind it rather than in front – though not much will actually fit and you can’t see it.
The range-topping R-Design Lux Nav trim added a powered tailgate, anodised silver roof rails and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. Topping the range was a 2.4-litre five cylinder producing 218bhp, with all the extra weight of the AWD system it’s actually one tenth of a second slower from 0-62mph when fitted with a manual gearbox – the six-speed Geartronic taking 10.9 seconds to complete the benchmark.
It doesn’t ride with the pillow-soft pliancy of an executive saloon, but compared to many of its rivals it is more comfortable, quieter and controlled. Opt for a car with the R-Design chassis and the ride isn’t as smooth at lower speeds as the standard car’s, though the stiffer dampers and anti-roll bars do improve body control at speed.
