The model
Read full Volvo XC60 reviewThe Volvo XC60 is ageing gracefully and can still manage to fend off newer rivals with its roomy, upmarket interior and a well-judged ride and handling balance. In short, it's a fine choice. The Audi Q5 is an even better all-rounder, though, while the BMW X3 and Porsche Macan are more fun to drive.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping Ultimate trim gets matrix LED headlights, 20in alloy wheels, adaptive dampers, air suspension, a head-up display, a powered passenger’s seat, power-folding rear headrests and a panoramic roof.
The engine
See full engine specsWith 247bhp, the B5 can sprint to 62mph in 6.9sec, so it's plenty brisk enough. It comes exclusively with four-wheel drive, which is handy if you live up a slippery lane.
