Despite the fact that many shapes resemble the already known XC90, S90 and V90 models, the new XC60 crossover has its own distinctive body features. The white stripes of the daytime running lights extend beyond the optics and abut against the radiator grille. As for the rear optics, it does not look as massive as other crossovers and sedans.

The engine on such a platform is located transversely, initially the drive will be front-wheel drive, but an AWD system can be optionally delivered. Under the bonnet of the new Volvo XC60 are the Drive-E turbo petrol and diesel engines. The engines will be paired with an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. As Volvo is at the forefront of modern technology, the T6 Twin Engine hybrid system is expected. Most likely it will be taken from the Volvo S90L sedan intended for China. The combined power of the new XC60 crossover with a two-liter turbocharged petrol and electric engines is 306 hp and maximum torque of 550 Nm.
