Here’s the new generation of the XC60 mid-size SUV that
should arrive as a 2018MY in North America later this year.
The XC60’s face
incorporates key elements of Volvo’s contemporary design language, as seen in
the 90 series, with a small twist, as the so-called ‘Thor Hammer’ headlamps
extend to the enlarged rectangular grille - a bit like on the current BMW
3-Series range.
Volvo officials have previously revealed that the
next XC60 will herald the next evolution of the firm’s interior design and will
include a tweaked version of the Sensus Connected Touch infotainment system
sourced from the 90 series.
The new XC60 will be
the fourth Volvo model to be spun from the brand’s Scalable Premium
Architecture (SPA), following the XC90 crossover, S90 saloon and V90 wagon.
Power will come from 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel
engines, with hybrid applications and possibly even a pure electric model to
follow later on. Volvo’s upcoming three-cylinder units could make it in some
markets down the road as well.
