2018 Volvo XC60 vs. Its Competition

2018 Volvo XC60 T8
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The 2018 Volvo XC60 slugs it out with some very familiar luxury crossovers.

The Audi Q5 has become the class default setting.

It’s more distinctively styled this time, and has more efficient powertrains, minus the turbodiesel of course.

The RDX doesn't have the same spaciousness as the XC90, and its V-6 and infotainment offerings are dated in this class.

The GLC-Class rides more smoothly, has AMG editions and more opulent interior trim.

Meanwhile, the X3 is new for 2018, too, and we’re waiting on a first drive.

There’s also a compact Jaguar E-Pace on the docket for early 2018.
