2008 VOLVO XC60 2.0L D4 FWD 6MT (163 HP)

Vehicle Overview

With the interest in small crossovers increasing rapidly, Volvo decided it was time to bring their own.

The then-new XC60 was a combination of an estate, an MPV and an SUV, offering lots of versatility and practicality.

Aesthetically, the XC60 had a handsome design with its chunky shoulders and the raised stance.

Inside, the cozy cabin was fitted with highly comfortable seats and an overall Scandinavian design, pleasant to the eye. Lots of storage spaces were available.

Pretty impressive for a crossover of its size, the rear cabin offered great room for 3 adults to sit comfortably. Moreover, the XC60 featured in-built seats for children.

With the optional 40/20/40 split rear seats configuration, a picnic table was also offered. While the trunk was a decent size, it would have quickly became immense with the rear seats folded flat.

The high driving position offered great visibility over the traffic and together with the super comfortable seats, the XC60 was a relaxing cruiser. Even with its high stance, the XC60 wasn’t a real off-roader.

As expected and as any Volvo, the new crossover was equipped with top-notch safety features such as the Volvo’s City Safety system and a blind spot warning system, besides the front, side and curtain airbags.

The City Safety system applied the brake automatically if it detected an obstruction in the road.

Even the base trim level was well equipped and offered features such as climate and cruise control, rear parking sensors and Bluetooth connectivity.
