Other SUV to consider
Volvo tends to pitch its products as value-oriented alternatives to established German premium players, and the XC60 is no different.
Compared to the equivalent BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC, for example, the XC60 offers more equipment and more performance for less money.
Further, the XC60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid gets a larger battery as part of its mid-life refresh that essentially doubles EV range over its predecessor, as well as rivals.
Other alternatives include the dimensionally smaller Audi Q5, sportier Genesis GV70 and Jaguar F-Pace, along with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
Unlike most rivals, the Volvo errs towards comfort in its tuning rather than sportiness.
