The redesigned 2018 Volvo XC60 two-row SUV is available in three options: the 3.2 offers a 3.2-liter inline-six cylinder engine that generates a 240 horsepower; the T6 is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that delivers 300 horsepower; and the R-Design pushes 325 hp. Front-wheel drive is standard on the 3.2, with all-wheel drive optional. The T6 comes with all-wheel drive standard. All XC60s feature a six-speed automatic with manual shift control. The XC60 T6 accelerates from 0-to-60 miles-per-hour in about seven seconds. There’s also a new Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, which combines a supercharged, four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery.
Standard features on the 3.2 include alloy wheels, a power driver seat, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and iPod control. The T6 adds the turbocharged engine, leather upholstery and a power passenger seat.
