VERDICT

Ever since the launch of the new generation XC90, Volvo has created havoc in the automotive world. The good thing is that all the goodness is being carried down to other models and the XC60 is no different. The SUV packs in looks to die for and then at the same time the interiors have been given that upscale finesse as well. But what is brilliant is the fact that the performance matches the looks. So instead of downsizing further, Volvo has kept the 2.0-litre diesel engine in the same ‘D5’ state of tune. Adding to the performance factor is the 8-speed automatic and the air suspension as well. At the same time the XC60 is competitively priced. Bottomline; it is a winner.
