2018 Volvo XC60 pricing and specs: New X3 rival slides in below $60k

The much-anticipated 2018 Volvo XC60 range will hit showrooms in October, with the Scandinavian brand taking a three-pronged approach to its mid-size luxury SUV offering.


The brand will mirror the larger XC90 model line-up with three trim grades - the entry-level Momentum, the mid-range Inscription and the flagship R-Design - and petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid four-cylinder models on offer.

All new 2018 Volvo XC60 models feature all-wheel drive, and all have eight-speed automatic transmissions.

There are two 2.0-litre turbo diesel versions available - the D4, which has 140kW of power and 400Nm of torque, and the twin-turbo D5, with 173kW and 480Nm.

There are two standard petrol drivetrains available, too: the T5 uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine and produces 187kW/350Nm, while the more powerful T6 churns out 235kW/400Nm because its engine makes use of a supercharger as well as a turbocharger.

The flagship drivetrain is reserved for the top-end model, only: the T8 plug-in hybrid combines the T6 petrol engine with a 10.4kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 65kW/240Nm electric motor.

The T8's maximum combined outputs are a huge 300kW and 640Nm, allowing it to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 5.3 seconds, with claimed combined cycle fuel use of just 2.1 litres per 100km.

There's plenty of standard equipment fitted to the new-generation XC60, which undercuts competitors such as the Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC on price: see below for the breakdown on what each of the trim grades has included as standard.

Volvo Cars Australia managing director Kevin McCann said the new XC60, which represents about 30 per cent of global sales for the brand, is an important addition to the brand's local model range.

"Volvo has a strong heritage in designing stylish and dynamic SUVs that offer the latest in technology. The All-New XC60 is no exception, even by our already high standards", said McCann.

"It is the perfect car for an active Australian lifestyle, and it represents the next step in our transformation plan," he said.
