The XC60 is a luxury family SUV. Almost everything I say will reflect that. This Volvo features 20” alloys but the range options offer from 19” to 22”.
The 2018 Volvo XC60 is supposed to compete with Mercedes GLC, Audi Q5, BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, a pretty tough lineup but it definitely holds its own.
