It’s not the newest or the most expensive premium SUV, but new updates to Volvo’s XC60 keep it punching towards the top of the class.
The Volvo XC60 has now been around for six years. Volvo runs its SUV platforms for longer than their German competitors – the full size XC90 turned thirteen this year, with a new generation arriving shortly. We’re pleased to report, though, that the XC60 feels the opposite of long-in-the-tooth. New, much-improved engines and some cabin refinements have been recently added to the XC60’s solid foundations. Together, they create what may be the best premium mid-sized SUV.
