The 2017 Volvo XC60 competes in a crowded field with other luxury competitors.
While its price may not be as steep as some, its styling isn't as sharp.
The Audi Q5 is nearly as old, and will be replaced next year, although its turbo-4 is a little more refined than the XC60's new unit.
The RDX doesn't have the same spaciousness as the XC90, although its tech is a little sharper.
Both the BMW X3 and GLC-Class are more expensive, but also relatively smoother rides and can be be more opulently trimmed.
