The new Volvo XC60 – better value than ever

Volvo’s new XC60 is the latest addition to the increasingly popular crossover market segment. And Volvo Car Ireland tells us that it is better value than ever.
With an entry level price of €44,267 ex-works, the DRIVe XC60 S 2.4D manual variant boasts CO2 emissions of 159g/km. And it slots in to Band D tax, which adds up to an appealing package. It also offers best-in-class fuel consumption.
The XC60 is a really nice car. And thankfully Volvo has retained the sporty driving properties that are a central part of this car’s attraction. More horsepower, higher torque and a sporty chassis setting all help give this version the right XC60 dynamics.
In addition to front-wheel drive, a number of minor improvements all help deliver the new model’s competitive fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
The gear ratios have been optimised so the car can be driven economically. For instance, when driving at 100km/h in top gear, engine revs and thus also fuel consumption are lower with the new powertrain. But the beauty of it is, you get all these improvements without compromising on driving pleasure.
The XC60 is not all about economy and ‘eco’ pluses. For instance, it achieved five stars in recent Euro NCAP crash tests, while in the appeal stakes it looks fantastic.
To demonstrate the wide appeal that this car has, the XC60 took first prize in the “Family Car of the Year” category in the first-ever Women’s World Car of the Year competition.
