The Volvo XC60 has been one of the best buys in its segment. The new one reinforces this legacy.
Volvo’s 90 branded range of vehicles have truly enhanced the brand’s image in the Indian market and their remarkable design and new age technologies have set a benchmark for the cars expected from this Swedish carmaker. Volvo is now focusing on their 60 branded range of vehicles - the first of which, is the XC60. It’s a crossover that is much loved around the globe and the new one it appears will fit into the lineage just fine.
Design
It speaks the design language of its elders and though I’m not a big fan of the same-sausage-different-size philosophy, the elegance of Volvo’s new design is something that I would openly welcome on various body styles. Like the 90 branded range of Volvo’s, the XC60 too is built on the Scalable Product Architecture - a modular platform that allows Volvo’s engineers and designers to customize the dimensions of the car to suit various body-styles. The distance between the front axle and the dashboard remains unchanged on all SPA cars though and this works in the XC60’s favour by giving it proportions appropriate for a premium crossover. Compared to its highly successful predecessor, the new XC60 is 44mm longer, 11mm wider and 14mm shorter and the result is a crossover that has an athletic stance and looks very proportionate.
