Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"It has very quick acceleration thanks to a turbocharged straight six 3.0 liter engine. The ride and handling strike a reasonable balance between sportiness and all-day comfort."
Anonymous, PA (2016 Volvo XC60)"Its quick"
Anonymous, OH (2016 Volvo XC60)"Excellent power and performance. Feels more like a car than an suv or truck."
Anonymous, PA (2016 Volvo XC60)"It responds quickly and efficiently."
Thomas J., CA (2016 Volvo XC60)"This is an amazing car, for such a heavy car the handling is very crisp. Same thing for the acceleration."
Ronnie K., CA (2016 Volvo XC60)"The turbo lag is minimal and it handles almost as well as my old S60."
Anonymous, AB (2016 Volvo XC60)"Good acceleration at all speeds, handles well, love the blind spot indicator on the door, not in the mirror."
Kent B., NY (2016 Volvo XC60)"Our vehicle has the supercharged turbo engine which gives us excellent acceleration when needed. The four cylinder engine then at constant highway speed provides great fuel economy. The handling of the car as an SUV is fine. Obviously this is not a sports car but driving experience is reasonable for the size and capacity of the car."
Anonymous, IL (2016 Volvo XC60)"XC60's handle great on the highway and in town driving. We have had 4 XC60's since 2010."

Anonymous, CO (2016 Volvo XC60)"Responsive 4 cyl. Turbo acceleration. Routine handling is very composed and only a little firm. Feels like a stout SUV. No Rattles. Confident traction and control. Looks are still modern. Could use a larger info screen but otherwise gives me plenty of info. Love the adaptive Cruise and Blind Spot Indicators. Auto braking saftey features work great."
