The best way to describe is that it’s better than smooth. In Advanced mode, the shocks are set to their stiffest setting with no regard to ride comfort at all.Ĭomfort – If you leave the XC60 in Comfort mode all the time, you will not be disappointed with the ride quality. In Sport mode, there is a compromise between ride comfort and limiting body roll for better handling. In Comfort mode, the shocks are at their softness and makes for a very comfortable ride. Dubbed the “Volvo Four-C”, it is a system that adjusts the Ohlin’s shocks for different softness or firmness settings. The XC60 also has 3 choices to choose from for the ride quality.
Although, with the least amount of steering assist it doesn’t make the CUV feel like a Lotus Elise but it is a lot better than an Audi Q5 for example. Also the steering feel can be adjusted on the fly to better suit the driver’s preferences. It is a clever AWD system that detects which wheel has the most grip and sends the engine’s power to that wheel making the XC60 pull very quickly out of corners or slippery situations. Volvo’s Haldex all-wheel-drive system keeps the big CUV firmly planted and in the driver’s control at all times. This test vehicle had also done almost 100,000km and yet the engine felt like as though it had just left the factory line yesterday. Like other turbocharged engines that Volvo produces, this one does not suffer from any sort of turbo lag and power is instantaneous at the exact moment that you put your foot down on the throttle pedal. However, in the updated 2011+ models of the XC60, the engine has the exact same power figures as the current generation S60 (325 hp & 325 lb-ft). It doesn’t put out quite as much power as the S60 variant but it’s not considered a slouch either with its 281hp and 295 lb-ft of torque power delivery. Performance – The power of this XC60 comes from the same inline-6 turbocharged engine that can be found in the S60 T6 but with a few tweaks.
