A luxury crossover generally isn’t thought of as been off-road potent, but the markets that Volvo sells its models necessitate a bit more capability in that area. So when reviewers were given the opportunity to visit the Gothenburg proving grounds to see how the 2018 Volvo XC60 held up, it makes sense why they were blown away: the Swedes are thorough.

Not many outlets have had a chance to sample the XC60 yet, but it’s still a good starting point. The fit and finish of the interior of the test models were mostly final (the reviewers loved it), as was most engine, suspension, and chassis specs. That said, the XC60 handled admirably on every course—from steep inclines and declines, tracks to demonstrate speed, and even handling on trails and pot-hole strewn roads. With this confidence, and the well-regarded driving dynamics of the XC60 historically, we can see it being a real hit with our shoppers.

To try the 2018 XC60 when it arrives, contact Bergeron Volvo dealership in Metairie, LA at your convenience. We’d be happy to schedule you for a test drive.
