The 2010 Volvo XC60 took first place
in the Luxury Crossover Model Comparison Test.
Edmunds.com evaluated four Luxury Crossover Models (2009 Audi Q5, 2010 Cadillac SRX, Mercedes- Benz GLK350, and 2010 Volvo XC60) that have been on the market within the last year and offer starting prices under $40K to find the latest and best Luxury Crossover Vehicle.
Read a few of the comments Edmunds.com editors mentioned about the 2010 Volvo XC60.
This Volvo certainly packs a punch under the hood. With 281 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, its turbocharged inline-6 had the most power in this test, and that translated into a brisk 7.3-second jaunt to 60 mph and the highest speed at the end of the quarter-mile (92.3 mph).
With 67 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and 30.8 cubes behind the rear seats, the XC60 was our most capacious crossover by a comfortable margin, and while the test car was the only entrant without a power lift gate, you can easily add one via the desirable Convenience Package ($1,000). The Volvo’s backseat was our favorite due to its ample cushioning and elevated seat bottom, and with a child seat installed in back, the XC60 had the most front passenger room to spare. The Volvo also boasts safety features galore, as you’d expect, including a “City Safety” low-speed collision warning system with automatic braking. As noted, practicality is a central consideration for many crossover shoppers, and by this measure the XC60 has no peer.
