The testdrive XC60 is a seashell metallic 2-liter gasoline-powered turbocharged direct injection T5 version which, for its size, would not be left behind in the acceleration department. Inside the hood is a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that can generate 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and torque of 320 Nm at 1,800 to 5,000 rpm.
The interior is elegant and comfortable, typical Volvo. Its floating console—slightly angled towards the driver—has a sporty and dynamic feel.
On paper, the top speed is 230 kph, making full use of the 6-speed powershift transmission. For stopping power, the brakes use the 4-channel ABS with electronic brake assist. Its front suspension is composed of a MacPherson strut, coil spring, hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar, while its rear suspension is multilink independent suspension with coil springs, hydraulic shock absorber, stabilizer bar with automatic level adjuster.
Passengers in the three-section rear seat can be properly entertained with its Premium Sound, which comes with a 7-inch screen and three audio systems to choose from.
With all the technology packed inside this crossover, it’s a wonder that there’s still a lot of space left for cargo. The load area has a lockable load floor covering two storage areas, one for personal items and another for soiled or wet items. The cargo cover extends over the entire load area. The rear door prevents the floor hatch from being opened when the car is closed and locked.
