Outside, the long, sculpted hood sits behind a vertical grille, flanked by headlight clusters that feature Volvo’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” LED daytime running lights. In back, the rear takes on a more angled look than its predecessor. Inside, the focus is on technology with a new large touchscreen multimedia display taking up most of the center dash.
The XC60 comes in three flavors: the T5 (250-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder), the T6 (316 hp from a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder) and T8 plug-in hybrid (313-hp, supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with an electric motor and battery pack to boost total output to 400 hp). In our latest multicar challenge, we tested the T5 Momentum trim.
