PROS Roomy interior for such a small vehicle Trailhawk version is highly capable off-road
CONS Hard to find a truly comfortable seat position Four-cylinder engine's weak power delivery

Cons 4-cylinder is overwhelmed here Cabin feels narrow Seats need better padding Mediocre visibility No adaptive cruise control
From the B-pillar forward, the XC60 could be mistaken for the bigger SUV. The upright fascia houses a similar grille, flanked by high-mounted headlights adorned with Volvo’s Thor’s Hammer sideways-T LED light graphic. The transverse-engine XC60 self-consciously sucks in its front overhang, and the hood traces a relatively straight line to the base of the windshield.
Pros Classy looks inside and out, roomier rear seat, improved handling, lots of standard equipment.
Cons Nervous steering, no front-drive model at launch.
