Volvo XC60 Exterior
The XC60's seamlessly blends Scandinavian minimalism with sleek modernity. From its distinctive LED headlights at the front, to its refined silhouette, every aspect exudes elegance and sophistication. Our test car was the exclusive XC60 Black Edition, which features all-black styling throughout, giving a stealthy look to the exterior. The distinctive black look begins at the front, with a striking monochrome grille and Iron Mark. Unique 21-inch Black Edition wheels with a 5-double spoke design further shadow the overall look of the XC60.
Volvo XC60 Interior
The carefully crafted interior welcomes you with premium materials and intuitive technology, creating a serene environment. The panoramic sunroof allows an just enough light in to brighten the cabin, while the power-operated sunshade in perforated textile helps reduce glare on sunny days. Our Black Edition test car featured charcoal interior with ventilated Nappa leather upholstery and sleek Metal Mesh decor. One of the standouts for me was the crystal gear shifter by Orrefors, which stands out like a brilliant jewel against the black interior.
Volvo XC60 Performance
Under the hood, the XC60 T6 AWD Plug-In Hybrid comes with up to 80 kilometres of electric range. One of the most impressive things about the XC60 is how you can easily switch between driving modes, from fully electric, Hybrid, All-wheel drive (AWD) and Off-road to best suit your driving preferences in different road conditions.
Volvo XC60 Safety
Safety is paramount in any Volvo, and the XC60 is no exception. Equipped with an impressive suite of safety features, including Volvo's City Safety system and Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving technology, the XC60 provides peace of mind on every journey.
