Slotted between the compact XC40 and the three-row XC90, the 2021 Volvo XC60 is a perfect fit for discerning drivers seeking spacious accommodations and utility with a convenient and maneuverable footprint. It's a luxury SUV built with quality and sophistication in mind, and there's no doubt that you'll feel the elegance when you sit inside the XC60.
Clad in leather, or Nappa leather on the higher trims, the five seats in the Volvo XC60 are supportive, soft, and comfortable. Legroom in the front is 41.5 inches, and in the back, it's 38 inches. This means that taller passengers will be able to stretch out a little in the back. Your cabin can quickly be changed around if you need to transport cargo rather than passengers. The second-row seats can fold down, creating a flat floor and a storage area that has a volume of 63.3 cubic feet. Roof racks are available as well if you need additional space to get to Bee Cave, TX.
With clean lines and a minimalist design, everything feels very upscale in the XC60. Having a power sunroof, high-quality interior trim, and thoughtful accents on the exterior of the vehicle help in this regard. You'll appreciate having a modern infotainment system, and the nine-inch touchscreen is easy to use. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability are both standard, as are Bluetooth and the ability to act as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
On the higher trims, you'll have navigation as a standard feature. You'll receive updates about real-time traffic and weather, and this information will let you expertly make your way to your destination, whether you're just trying to avoid traffic congestion or are going on a new adventure. Navigation is an option on the base model, the Momentum.
Performance is important to many of our Lakeway, TX customers. If you're curious to know what kind of engine the XC60 runs on, you'll be pleased to find out that there are multiple options. The T5 models run on a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that can generate 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This is plenty of power for everyday commuting around Pflugerville, TX, and it's also enough to make things a little exciting. The T5 models can either come as front-wheel or all-wheel-drive models.
When you move up to the T6 models, all-wheel drive is the only type of drivetrain available. The T6 models are powered by a turbocharged and supercharged (twincharged) engine, which also has a displacement of two liters. This engine can output 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
If this still isn't enough for you, check out what the Recharge powertrain has to offer. Previously known as the "T8," Recharge was rebranded to coincide with Volvo's push towards its goal of changing 50-percent of its fleet to electric models. The XC60 Recharge combines the T6's twincharged engine and adds an electric motor and battery pack. This plug-in hybrid system generates an authoritative 400 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. Considering that the Volvo SUV can tow up to 3,500 pounds, it's clear that this luxury vehicle can handle tough jobs and is ready for a variety of situations in and around San Marcos, TX.
Volvo is known for its commitment to safety, and in the XC60, you'll benefit from having a full complement of standard IntelliSafe advanced driver-assistance technologies. Collision Mitigation with Steering Support features advanced sensors that scan the road for other vehicles, large animals, cyclists, and pedestrians in your path. After alerting you to a potential collision, the system can automatically apply the brakes if you're unable to respond in time. Lane Keeping Aid can provide steering support to maintain a straight path, and Run-off Road Mitigation can detect unintentional drifting and direct the XC60 back into its lane.
For the 2021 model year, the XC60 moves several driver aids to the base trim, including Blind Spot Information System, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Steering-Adaptive LED headlights. Other standard safety features include Oncoming Lane Mitigation, Road Sign Detection, Driver Attention Warning, and automatic high beams.
