Do you want safety, technology and outstanding performance? Throw in head-turning curb appeal and the 2015.5 Volvo XC60 R-design has it and then some.
Safety features abound, and upgraded with the Technology and Blindspot packages, you have at your fingertips lane-departure warning, drowsy-driving alerts, in-town braking, front and rear pedestrian monitoring, and dynamic cruise control that will sense if another car has slowed or gotten too close to you. Add parking-assist cameras, cross-traffic alerts, merge-assist warnings and the legendary tough Volvo chassis, frames and body construction, and you have it all. This car has extremely high crash and safety ratings.
A new smartphone app that can start or stop the engine, unlock the doors and provide a wide variety of systems info such as gas consumption, remaining mileage, odometer average speed and fluid levels round out many of the updates to the 2015.5 XC60. It even has a built-in hotspot and Wi-Fi connection accessible through one of the drop-down menus.
The R-design T6 features the inline, six-cylinder, 3.0-liter, 325-horsepower turbo engine, which gets this handsome SUV rolling quickly and powerfully, but does not enjoy the improved mileage of the four-cylinder Drive-E engines. I had no qualms about giving up a little bit of fuel economy to enjoy the best engine for this vehicle. The refined chassis configuration demands the better-performing engine and this power plant delivers.
The R-design upgrades the chassis to a sport configuration, and with the oversized 20-inch wheels it handles like a sports sedan. The firm shocks, anti-roll bars, traction controls and all-wheel-drive keep the SUV planted firmly on the road. Steering response is sensational and the XC60 feels secure and solid.
Sliding into the luxurious and refined leather interior is a joy. Comfort and support is second to none. The leather-wrapped dash is sleek and sports a ghostly electronic speedometer and display. Your car and running information is located on the side and the safety features are projected in the gauge as you call them up. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy ample legroom and the cargo area goes from good to fantastic if the rear seats are dropped.
The simple, elegant and functional controls and interior hide a sophisticated electronic setup. The powerful Harman Kardon audio system is navigated through a number of interfaces including voice, steering wheel and manual controls. Phone setup was easy and the transmission quality excellent.
With a base price of $46,650, our optioned-up tester R-design T6 rang in at $54,420, slotting this luxury performer competitively with similar cars such as the BMW X series, Audi QX5 and Acura RDX.
The solid construction, quality materials and excellent repair record give this an edge over many cars in class.
