Volvo XC60: A case in silent refinement
The Hindu
This ‘mild hybrid’ version is unapologetically an SUV made for comfort and luxury, and the driving experience echoes the same sentiment
Volvo is renowned for its subtlety, and the XC60 is a good example of that. Though a facelifted version, with seemingly minor changes on the surface, there is a big change under the bonnet.
How does one spot the facelifted XC60? For starters, the chrome grille up front is now sharper and a bit more modern. Low down, there is a revised bumper with a slightly new design and new chrome elements added on. Other elements such as the sharp LED headlamps with Thor’s hammer Daytime Running Lamps and the strong power lines on the bonnet, have been carried over from the previous version. It is unmistakably an XC60, and that is not a bad thing. On the side, the silhouette is the same as before, but you will see a fresh and sporty design for the 19-inch alloy wheels.
