Volvo's Sitting on Something Big. The New XC60 Is Its Morning Glory
Volvos are becoming predictable in India. I know what you’re thinking, and no, this is not going to be a car-shaming rant by yours truly. Quite the opposite, in fact. As for the understandable negative connotation of the word ‘predictable’ used in the first sentence, well, the English language is, unlike most other languages, unique in its flexibility when it comes to interpretation. And here I am, misusing that flexibility.
The point is, they’re becoming predictable in India and that’s a damn good thing. Think of a Volvo, and aside from the usual words like ‘safety’ popping into your head, I believe that people are now also looking to the carmaker as a sort of flag-bearer of fine design. And it shows. Yes, you could argue that the XC60, for the most part, looks like a shrunken XC90, but what you should also keep in mind is that the way these things have been designed, they’re also going to age tremendously well, and that’s really important if you have even the slightest foresight.
