Volvo XC60 – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

Volvo marches to the beat of its own drum.

The brand doesn’t care what the rest of the industry is doing. Conformity isn’t in the Swedish manufacturer’s vocabulary. Volvo is going to do things the Volvo way; there is no compromising. The 2022 Volvo XC60 B6 AWD is a prime example of this.

The ignition switch? It’s a spring-loaded dial on the center console that is twisted to the right to turn the engine on and off. The key fob, like most in the industry, is a flat rectangular piece of plastic. But instead of the lock/unlock buttons being on the top and bottom, it is completed blank. These functions are controlled by little buttons the thin side of the fob, like a smartphone.

And then there is the engine. When presented with the choice between turbocharging or supercharging the brand’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit, Volvo simply responded with yes. That’s right, a turbocharger and a supercharger have been applied to receive the best of both worlds, the instantaneous low-end grunt from the supercharger and the high-end power from the turbocharger.

For our latest specs comparison, we’re taking another look at the compact luxury crossover class.

Car manufacturers are making big investments in this vehicle category, and it shows in the sheer number of models available if you’re shopping for a small upscale SUV.

The compact luxury crossover SUV class is where you’ll find some of today’s best-selling upscale vehicles thanks to the combination of practicality, flexibility and driving pleasure they offer.

For this comparison, we’re lining up the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 to see how Sweden’s sole model in this category holds its own against one from a German brand that has mastered the art of luxury vehicle design.

The Volvo XC60 benefits from its maker’s reputation for safety, and Volvo has also positioned itself as a leader in plug-in technology among the industry’s established upscale carmakers: the XC60’s plug-in hybrid is one of the compact luxury crossover segment’s strongest performers.

It can be argued that no automotive brand in the North American market has evolved in the past 30 years as much as Volvo.

In the early 1990s, the bestselling Volvo models were clunky, brick-shaped sedans and wagons with cabins that were mostly lined with rubber-coated foam. The basic shape of their cars remained unchanged from the 1960s into the 1990s and during those years, the brand was best-known for its drab design and incredible durability.

Fortunately, the Volvo brand today is nothing like the company from the 1990s, showcasing cutting-edge technology inside and out, with premium appointments and a sleek, elegant design. Today’s Volvo lineup is filled with proper luxury models, including sedans, wagons, and SUVs. Two of the most popular modern Volvos are the XC60 and the XC90, with these two roomy SUVs showcasing everything that the brand has to offer. These two models offer all of the premium features that you expect from a luxury SUV, but they cost quite a bit less than the competitors.
