Road Tests | Volvo XC60 2017 review

This is Car Buyers Guide Volvo XC60 2017 review. Daragh Ó Tuama reckons Audi and BMW have cause for concern due to Volvo’s latest releases, the new Volvo XC60 being no exception. This new SUV is now available to order in Ireland, but after talking to some Irish dealers, it may be January before we see many of these on the roads.

Daragh is in the D5 version, which offers 235bhp. Despite being spacious, the combination of sporty seats and black nappa leather can cause you to feel somewhat claustrophobic - opting for one of Volvo’s lighter interior colour palettes may solve this.

The all-new Volvo XC60 that Daragh was driving also came equipped with a Sensus Connect 8inch touch screen, 12.3inch TFT display, ADAS Safety System, pilot assist, 19inch alloys and Thor's Hammer lights.
