XC60 [Official] 2017 Volvo XC60

[Zafiro]

First time ever I want a XC60...

Guys, did you notice, in the second video, the shape of the front subframe which is designed in such a way that in a small overlap front collision the car will steer away from the obstacle?

Interesting you mention that, because on the small overlap front collision video of the S90 (I think it was from IIHS) you can also clearly see, how the car moves/catapults away from the obstacle.

Yeap. Same goes for the XC90 as well!

It's the same platform so it makes sense they all do it. Volvo the king of vehicle safety.

Haha Klier thanks for calling my post old, it's nice to see we are on the same page for a change, the current crop of German designs are OLD and rehashed.

The R design is smashing from the rear.

What I might not be able to live with are HVAC controls that aren't knobs or buttons. So far, Land Rover is the only manufacturer who has shown an understanding why these frequently used controls should be physical.

The XC60 is one of my stars of the show, along with 720S, A110 and GT3. That's a Swede, a Brit, a Frenchie and one lone German.

This is it. A bit of FWD proportion but still a handsome design. XC90 is more handsome but it is suppose to be that way. With R design, it is really nice. It looks small though. Nothing to discuss about the interior. It is the best in the class, at least for me. Better than XC90 and S90. It looks more 3D than those models. Basically, you get everything from XC90, even a 4 zone climate control !!! They will sell a lot of this car for sure.

What a difference official pics make. It's a shrunken XC90 and it's pretty much a success. This is going to cause Volvo sales to catch fire here all over again. Good job Volvo.

I still think the XC90 looks better with its shorter front overhang and more masculine front end, but this looks great! It will sell very well here in the U.S. That interior is most excellent.

 

[martinbo]

I haven't been this excited about a Vollivo in a long time.

 

[PHYBENZ]

Something about the exterior design is off to me. Don't know if It's the front overhang... the headlights seem a little too big and the profile off. The interior is great though. Enough differences from the XC90, to differentiate but still be familiar and Volvo.

Yup. And don't forget the rear, which is a disaster.

I have changed my mind. It's a stunning car. If it drives well I might replace my X3 with it.

 

[W201]

I think it's safe to say it will drive on the comfort side, so not sure if you'll like it better than your X3.
(Bear in mind - there will be new X3 soon, so the only fair comparison is new X3 vs new XC60).

Of course, I'd pick the Volvo - just look at those seats!!! (And what is the point of a 'sporty SUV'? You have an SUV, and you have a sports car. Mixing those into one is a compromise).

The XC90 is agile and not boring to drive according to many reviews. If the XC60 drives like it then I might enjoy it. What I like about it is all the safety tech. A bonus is that Adaptive Suspension is an option!

I have played with the configurator and the Plugin Hybrid is priced accessibly compared with the hybrid XC90.

The only downside of Volvo's success is that they are everywhere now.

I drove a Volvo before it was cool and it's not a rare sight anymore.

Volvo, very much like a ball-bearing, is on a roll. Looks great.

Just because they are more common, does not mean they are any less cool.
Actually, the fact that you drive a Volvo form an earlier era just makes your car choice more cool.

Now, imagine you own P1800?

Just my .02$.

P.S. God, I miss Saab, I really do

I'm sure you plan to keep your Volvo long enough for when they're uncool again.
