Its rear doors look rather sizable to allow easy ingress and egress given how small of a car it is, which may mean the cargo area is a little compromised. It’s adorable! The size and shape of this little SUV already make it look happy and inviting, and we hope that vibe remains when the big wrappings come off. The pixel look will carry on back there, which is great to know.īeyond these details, seeing the EX30 out on the road gives us a far better look at the proportions than Volvo’s shadowy teasers have provided. We can’t see quite as much of the rear taillights, but teasers take care of what we can’t see. The segmented DRLs give it a unique appearance coming down the road, making it stand out from the crowd.

It’s clearly going to mimic the EX90 with this design and is an excellent update to the Thor’s Hammer look seen on other Volvos today. The big get from these shots is a clear view of those epic pixel-like headlights and taillights. 2020 Volvo XC60 Specificationsĭrivetrain: 2.The electric Volvo EX30 is due to be revealed on June 7 this year, but one of our spy shooters just caught a camouflaged version of the cute little crossover out testing. There’s nothing wrong with the XC60 that an easier-to-use center screen wouldn’t fix. Otherwise, this is a nice-driving, high-quality, good-looking crossover. Sensus remains a Volvo deal-breaker for me. Sadly, most of the car’s adjustments are accomplished through swiping your way around the screen. And more than once, the screen didn’t respond immediately to my inputs, requiring several stabs at whatever icon I wanted to function. The simplest operation-say, turning on a heated seat or switching the radio from AM to FM-takes too much attention away from the road.

Sensus looks elegant and is well-integrated, I’ll give Volvo that, but it’s far too complicated. There’s a caveat, however, and a big one: Sensus, the iPad-style center screen, remains maddening to me, even now that I’ve had more experience with it and even though Volvo claims the resolution is better and the processor 50 percent faster. Volvo says 60 mph arrives in about 6.5 seconds, and really, do you need your Volvo crossover any quicker? No, you need your Volvo crossover to be good-looking, well-built and comfortable on the road. The car is adequately quick off the line and in the middle revs. I put a lot of miles over a couple weeks in a XC60 T6 Inscription, and indeed, the T6’s lag is minimal. Volvo figures combining the two gives the benefits of both while canceling out their negatives.

A turbocharger doesn’t sap horsepower, but it takes time to get spinning to add power. Why does my tester, the T6, have a supercharger added to the 2.0-liter turbo? It adds power throughout the rev range, but it costs horsepower to run it. Volvo’s XC60s all use a 2.0-liter turbo-four in front-drive T5, all-wheel-drive T6, and T8 plug-in hybrid flavors. The XC60, a slightly smaller, nimbler and quicker people hauler than the XC90, comes in right on its big brother’s tail. So far this year, Volvo’s best-sellers are, in order, the XC90, XC60 and XC40 crossovers.
