Quick Review

The Volvo XC60 is a luxury compact SUV. For 2012, there have been no substantial changes.

The Volvo XC60 is a family vehicle that puts safety first and foremost. It comes packed with safety features, including the Volvo City Safety autonomous emergency braking system, which helps avoid low-speed collisions -- according to Volvo, it can cut such urban accidents by 25%. There's also an optional integrated child booster seat which parents are sure to love. The Volvo XC60 is stylish inside and out, and boasts a comfortable interior made with premium materials. On the downside, four wheel drive is not standard. The base V4 engine is a little underpowered; opting for the available turbocharged V6 engine helps to remedy this.

If you want a luxurious SUV with plenty of interior space, you can also check out the Audi Q5. The Audi carries a fairly high price tag but its lower fuel consumption makes it more economical to run. Its navigation system is quite competitive with the XC60's and it comes with all-wheel drive as standard. The Volvo XC60 is a city crawler rather than an off-roader; if you need a luxury SUV that can handle more than a dirt road, the Land Rover LR2 is a great option.

The Volvo XC60 is a true family SUV for luxury shoppers who don't mind paying a little more for comfort and safety.

The Volvo XC60 is a wonderfully comfortable drive. It may not be the most exciting ride, but doesn't toss your passengers around over rough paving.
