As a stylish Scandinavian alternative to the German trio of Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, the first-generation Volvo XC60 introduced a new style for the 60 series models.
Based on Volvo’s P3 platform, the XC60 shares technology with the Land Rover Freelander of 2007 and borrows mechanical components from then Volvo owner Ford, and while much of the engineering and tuning of the XC60 was done by Volvo in Sweden, its off-road capabilities were developed by Land Rover in England.
The actual manufacturing of XC60s took place in Belgium, China, and Malaysia and the model received various mechanical, equipment, and aesthetic updates right through its lifecycle, most notably in 2013.
The 2013 updated XC60 models are easily identified by a refreshed front-end styling with new headlights, bumpers and grille designs, new alloy wheels, and fully colour-coordinated body panels.
New upholstery colours, wood inlays, headliners, and metal highlights set the interiors apart from pre-facelift examples.
2013 also saw the XC60 receive three new technologies added to the options list: active high beam, which automatically switches between high beam and low beam accordingly; road sign information, which displays detected speed limits and other selected road sign information in the instrument panel; and automatic headlights.
The 2013 update also saw the XC60’s collision warning/pedestrian detection camera system enhanced and improved.
While the XC60 is undoubtedly a stylish contender to fill your medium-sized luxury crossover SUV needs, do we recommend actually purchasing one? Read on.

We can cautiously recommend the XC60 but only if you are conscious of the fact the maintenance and repair costs (and the regularity in which maintenance may be required) will most likely be higher than equivalent Japanese or South Korean competitors. Prior to committing financially, thoroughly inspect the vehicle and its service records confirming they are totally complete and thorough. Finally, have the XC60 you’re considering inspected by your local mechanic.
However, if you require a practical medium-sized luxury crossover SUV that will most likely provide bulletproof reliability and more affordable maintenance costs, we’d recommend looking at the other alternative to luxury European SUVs.
