Volvo XC60 2008-2017 Specifications

The 2008-2017 Volvo XC60 offers multiple engine options, including a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 (240 hp), a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 (300 hp), and a 3.2L inline-6 (240 hp). The 2.0L engine focuses on fuel efficiency, while the 3.0L delivers higher performance with better acceleration. The 3.2L provides a balance of power and smooth operation.

The XC60 is equipped with a 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, which offers smooth shifting and optional manual control. Some models feature an 8-speed automatic transmission for improved fuel efficiency and performance.

Standard safety features include Volvo's City Safety system, whiplash protection, and dynamic stability control. Optional features include blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera system.

The XC60's fuel economy ranges from 20-25 mpg in the city and 27-33 mpg on the highway, depending on the engine. This is competitive with rivals like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, though some competitors offer slightly better efficiency in certain configurations.

Volvo recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Routine inspections should be performed at 30,000-mile intervals, and major services, such as brake fluid and coolant replacement, are due every 60,000 miles.

Standard features include leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, and a premium sound system. Optional features include a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, adaptive headlights, and a navigation system with real-time traffic updates.

The XC60 offers 30.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 67.4 cubic feet with the seats folded. This is slightly less than the Audi Q5 but more than the BMW X3. Passenger space is generous, with ample legroom and headroom in both rows.

The XC60 has a towing capacity of up to 3,300 lbs when properly equipped. Payload capacity varies by trim but typically ranges from 1,000 to 1,200 lbs.
