With the XC60, Volvo has clearly aimed at the upscale small crossover market, and the well-equipped 2010 Volvo XC60 is a worthy competitor in this class.

The 2010 Volvo XC60 comes in just one trim level, and its standard features cover a broad range of interests. Edmunds states that the XC60 Volvo "comes packed with plenty of amenities, including leather upholstery, an eight-speaker audio system and power front seats." Adding to the list of features on the front seats, Cars.com says that "the driver's seat includes a three-position memory feature." Other standard features include a dual-zone automatic climate control system and steering-wheel-mounted controls for the eight-speaker sound system. While all these amenities sound nice at first, Edmunds reports that "you'll likely be disappointed by the XC60 T6's high MSRP, which is partially a result of having so much equipment as standard."

Not everything on the 2010 Volvo XC60 is standard, however, as a lengthy options list leaves plenty of room for customization. ConsumerGuide notes that "several option packages are available," including a $2,700 Technology Package that adds "a 650-watt Dynaudio sound system with USB port, navigation system, and rearview camera" to the XC60 Volvo. Edmunds reports that "additional safety equipment comes courtesy of the Collision Avoidance Package, which contributes adaptive cruise control, a lane departure warning system and other driver aids." For those interested in adding some daily practicality to their XC60 Volvo, Cars.com says that the Convenience Package "includes a 12-volt power point and grocery-bag holders for the cargo area, a HomeLink garage door opener, front and rear parking sensors, and a power liftgate." Aside from the various packages offered on the 2010 Volvo XC60, Edmunds remarks that stand-alone options include "adaptive xenon headlights, various exterior styling enhancements, a panoramic sunroof, keyless ignition/entry and dual integrated rear booster seats."

Conclusion

The 2010 Volvo XC60 offers nearly everything you would expect on a luxury crossover.

Other Choices:

The 2010 Volvo XC60 hammers home the point of driver safety, with an elegant, sophisticated style. The same can be said for the 2009 Audi Q5, which marries that automaker's sleek shapes with the running gear of a Volkswagen Tiguan and V-6 power. Other luxury brands go more sporting with their compact crossovers; the Acura RDX is a turbocharged wagon with a techno-infused interior, not much cargo space and a whizzy, nervous appeal. The Infiniti EX35 takes the all-wheel-drive version of the handsome G37 sedan, gives it a sexy rear end, and mostly forgets about utility in the name of crisp handling.
