Reviews SummaryThe Volvo S60 competes with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Lexus IS, and Infiniti Q50. But the S60 wasn't always so competitive. In fact, dating back to 2000, it was kind of its own thing, the closest competitor being Saab. Well, Saab is no more, and Volvo woke up, realizing it had to make a sedan with mass appeal. From a visual standpoint, it’s hard not to find the S60 appealing. | |
Reviews SummaryAfter nearly ten years, the Volvo XC60 finally gets an update for 2018. And what an update it is: Volvo’s best-selling vehicle is now built on an all-new platform, has a totally different look and feel, and offers an optional plug-in hybrid drivetrain. While the new XC60 is second to none among luxury crossovers when it comes to style, safety, and technology, that’s still not enough to beat the popular Audi Q5 and BMW X3, which have also been updated for 2018. The Volvo’s semi-autonomous driving mode, Scandinavian styling cues, and amazing sound system are truly incredible—but they can’t make up for confusing menus, a high price tag, and lackluster hybrid performance. That means the new XC60 likely won’t attract BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes buyers—but it will certainly satisfy anyone who wants something a bit out of the ordinary. | |
