2012 volvo xc60 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Safety, utility, comfort. introductionthe volvo xc60 is the smallest of the volvo crossover family, which includes the xc70 and xc90. A compact suv about the size of a honda cr-v, the volvo xc60 competes favorably with the acura mdx, audi q5, bmw x3, and mercedes-benz glk. the 2012 volvo xc60 r-design gets boosted by volvo's high-performance partner, polestar, raising horsepower and torque through software. Otherwise, the xc60 carries over to the 2012 model year unchanged. Xc60 was launched as a 2010 model. The xc60 looks like a smaller version of the xc90, and it doesn't shout family-mobile. the standard 3. 2-liter six-cylinder engine easily meets the demands of daily driving, offering 240 horsepower and an epa-estimated 19/25 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive. for those who value quick acceleration, a 325-horsepower turbocharged engine is available that adds excitement and thrill. We tested the polestar xc60, and it's hot. It's rated 17/23 mpg with all-wheel drive. the xc60 is not the sportiest among the compact suvs, but we found it handles well on city streets and highways. We ran it hard on curvy remote roads in arizona, and it responded well. It's easy to park, particularly with the optional rearview camera. The xc60 rides comfortably, its brakes are superb, and its 6-speed automatic transmission is well tuned. volvo's fulltime all-wheel-drive system works smoothly in the daily grind without a huge penalty in fuel economy (18/24 mpg), and it's truly welcome when the weather gets foul or on gravel or even in bumpy corners. It can handle backcountry trails, and the computer-managed hill descent control makes creeping down steep inclines secure. The xc60 can tow 3300 pounds: a trailer full of snowmobiles or a small boat. inside, the volvo xc60 is attractively finished and pleasingly understated. The seating arrangement is flexible, and the cargo compartment has tie-downs and other useful accessories. The xc60 is available with a full array of blind-spot, lane-departure and driver alertness warning systems. for those who want flexibility in cargo and people hauling without the bulk of a big suv, the xc60 makes a lot of sense. All come with all-wheel drive except the 3. 2, which is available with front-wheel drive. the volvo xc60 3. 2 is powered by a 3. 2-liter inline-6 generating 240 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, and using a 6-speed automatic transmission. Xc60 3. 2 comes with front-wheel drive 33,300) or all-wheel drive 35,300). xc60 3. 2 comes standard with cloth upholstery, aluminum interior trim, driver-seat memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, a full complement of power features and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Platinum 6,950) upgrades further with navigation, rearview camera, and a premium sound system. xc60 t6 awd 39,450) comes with all-wheel drive and is powered by a 3. 0-liter turbocharged inline-6 making 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The t6 uses a 6-speed automatic. The dynamic package 1,500) includes the 4c chassis with three settings, speed-sensitive steering, and xenon hid headlights. The t6 awd is equipped like 3. 2 premier, but comes with 18-inch alloy wheels. Premier plus 4,250) and platinum 4,450) add the same things as with the xc60 3. 2. volvo xc60 t6 awd r-design 43,700) increases the horsepower to 325 and torque to 354 pound-feet, also raising the redline to 6500 rpm from 5600 rpm. It uses 20-inch wheels with 255/45r20 tires, and a sport-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and struts, and bigger front and rear anti-roll bars. The r-design is equipped like premier, with premier plus and platinum the same as the t6. a rear-seat entertainment system 1,800) is available, port-installed, for all models. safety features standard on all models start with dual-stage front-impact airbags, front passenger side-protection airbags, curtain-type head protection airbags with rollover deployment for outside seats and whiplash-mitigating front headrests. The xc60 gets the highest possible scores in various government and insurance industry (iihs) crash tests. All xc60s come standard with a collision prevention/mitigation system called city safety, which can automatically apply the brakes in a pending low-speed collision. Other active safety features include advanced anti-lock brakes (abs) and electronic stability control. Safety-related extra-cost options include the park assist and rearview camera, the blind spot information system, and a pair of two-stage child booster seats with adaptive seatbelts for the outboard rear seats. walkaroundthe volvo xc60 is about the same size as compact sport-utilities or crossovers from other european luxury brands, including the audi q5, bmw x3, and mercedes-benz glk. Yet the xc60 has at least 17 percent more cargo volume than any of those competitors. at an overall length of 182. 2 inches, the xc60 is sized comparably to the honda cr-v and ford escape, with similar cargo capacity. The xc60 bears a close resemblance to its elder and larger stalemate, the xc90. The xc60 continues the volvo design trend away from sharp angles and square corners and toward softer and more rounded lines. A secondary air intake fills the lower center portion of the bumper, with fog lights tucked into the corners. The outlines of the openings, all v-like in overall shape, flow into each other, giving the fascia an of-a-piece look. The resulting head-on view is pleasing, while substantial and a little tall. side perspective presents mild confusion between a sportier, almost coupe-like hood slope and roofline and a wedgy beltline that rises in a straight line from the front wheel well to the rear door handle, leaving a bulbous mass of a rear quarter panel. This unbalanced look leaves a relatively hunkered down front end attached to a high, bustle-like rear end. Granted, this allows that class-leading cargo capacity of almost 70 cubic feet, but it leaves the xc60 with a stubby, chopped-off posterior. the rear view shows broad shoulders capped by a tapered glasshouse, with led taillights climbing up the sides of the glass on the one-piece liftgate. The rear bumper cups the bottom edge of the liftgate, with widely spaced exhaust tips peeking out just inboard of each rear tire. The body mass also minimizes the visual effect of the xc60's height, giving the rear perspective a more planted presence than the front. the xc60 r-design treatment has a bolder look. It starts with 20-inch alloy wheels and color-matched lower body moldings. The bright metal mirrors, window trim and tailpipes have a matte, almost silky finish, and the grille is imbedded with a prominent r logo, so everyone knows what the operator is driving. interiorthe volvo xc60 seats five. the cabin is scandinavian in style, and elegantly understated. The interior is as true as the exterior to volvo's contemporary styling idioms. The materials and finish are very good, and functionality rates almost as high, despite some volvo-specific quirks. It's easy to master the xc60's multitude of controls, which are simpler and more efficient than those in its luxury brand competitors. The seating arrangement is flexible and the cargo compartment is expansive. the cuts and sti. Anti-lock Brakes✔ Climate Control✔ Bluetooth✔ Alloy Wheels
