The 2017 Volvo XC60 is a compact SUV with captivating looks, lithe performance, and a luxury interior. When you're seeking family-ready space without the minivan feel, the Volvo XC60 makes a classy, efficient everyday traveler.
To help introduce small SUV shoppers in the Summit, NJ areas to this compelling compact SUV, Smythe Volvo Cars put together the following 2017 Volvo XC60 review.
Volvo XC60 Review: Power & Efficiency
The 2017 Volvo XC60 offers two advanced supercharged and turbocharged engines, both of which achieve an excellent balance of power and efficiency. Let's take a look at some of the XC60's key performance specs:
- Horsepower range of 240 to 302 hp
- Available all-wheel drive
- 8-speed automatic transmission
These mechanics work together to produce the XC60's hallmark drive manners: quick to accelerate, comfort-oriented, and poised and confident on winding back roads.
Just because you drive an SUV doesn't mean your gas bill has to be through the roof, and the Volvo XC60's impressive EPA estimates are a prime example of this notion in action. Its standard powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG, which are some of the highest efficiency marks for the class.
Your Oasis on Wheels
The 2017 Volvo XC60 is a true Swedish trendsetter when it comes to style and space. Luxury elements line the inner cabin wherever you look.
There's Sensus in-car technology stationed at the dashboard, ready to access entertainment or key up the navigation system in a few touchscreen taps. A panoramic sunroof up above brings fresh air to fair-weather drives. And standard premium leather seating all around classifies the XC60 as a chic and comfortable getaway car.
In addition to these upscale features, passengers throughout the cabin can look forward to plenty of room at each seating position. There's:
- 38 inches of front-seat headroom and 41.2 inches of front-seat legroom
- 38.1 inches of rear-seat headroom and 36.3 inches of rear-seat legroom
Volvo XC60 Review: Safety Performance
Safety is critical in any SUV, and the 2017 Volvo XC60 earns a spot in the highest tier with some of the safest vehicles on the road today. The 2017 model earned dual recognition from the industry's crash test administrators. It's:
- An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+
- A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 5-Star Overall Safety Rated vehicle
In addition to the protection elements that typically come to mind, like comprehensive airbag protection and a 4-wheel anti-lock braking system, the Volvo XC60 features several active IntelliSafe safety technologies. These cutting-edge systems like Blind Spot Monitoring and City Safety™ automatic braking are an added layer of driver safety while out on the road.
