Volvo announces XC60 pricing and specification
(20/06/2008)

The Volvo XC60 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March and has already won a UK technology award for its City Safety system, an autobrake collision avoidance system which is a standard feature on this new car. Popularity for the XC60 is building with more than 250 confirmed orders placed so far.

Volvo Car UK has announced preliminary prices for the new XC60. This new crossover vehicle combines XC capability with sports coupe styling.

Starting at £24,7501 On The Road, the Volvo XC60 will be available in three trim levels: S, SE and SE Lux and will have the choice of three engines: the turbocharged T6 producing 285PS, and two variants of the D5 turbodiesel generating 185 and 163 horsepower, respectively.

The S model offers a high level of specification with exterior features such as 17" Segin alloy wheels, front fog lights, roof rails and rear spoiler, as well as the advanced safety systems you'd expect from a Volvo including City Safety and RSC (Roll Stability Control). Interior details include electronic climate control, information centre, cruise control, leather steering wheel with remote audio controls, aluminium trim and performance sound audio system with aux input and CD player.

The SE trim level adds Hill Descent Control, power driver’s seat with memory and autofolding power door mirrors with ground lights, Eriksberg T-Tec/Textile upholstery, autodimming rear view mirror with compass and chrome window trim.

The SE Lux enhances the SE specification with luxury features such as chronographic instrument dials, leather upholstery and Nordic Light Oak natural wood trim, while both front seats will be powered and heated. Further enhancements include luxury floor mats and chrome detailing, 18" Merac alloy wheels, active bending headlamps, power tailgate and rear park assist.
