The 2017 Volvo XC 60 is a two-row, front-wheel drive midsize SUV with available all-wheel drive. Supplying room for five, the wagon-like XC 60 has excellent storage space, is a consistent top safety pick, and offers multiple trims including higher-end Inscription models.

The XC60 offers nearly 31 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat or 67.4 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded.
The XC60 features standard leather-covered seats and a thickly padded steering wheel also wrapped in leather. The interior is clean and ordered, even utilitarian, without the chrome embellishments and other touches that usually define luxury models. The emphasis here is on ergonomics and in this department the XC60 excels — buttons and knobs have been carefully placed and are easy to reach. The instrument panel is uncluttered and drama free.
This SUV’s sight lines are excellent, supplying a panoramic view of the road ahead. The rear window is large and provides an unobstructed view of the road behind. Thick rear roof pillars enable this model to score high in rollover tests, but the compromise here are the large blind spots that go with it. That’s typical of any SUV and Volvo employs the attendant safety features to mitigate the problem.
Overall, we give the Volvo XC 60 a 7.
