2015 Volvo V60 vs XC60

Serving Tallahassee, Valdosta, Thomasville, Quincy, Bainbridge

Volvo introduced the 2015 V60 in 2015 to compete in the luxury car segment. Shaped like a wagon, but designed with myriad luxurious features, the 2015 Volvo V60 ranked in the top three of wagons rated by U.S. News & World Report in 2015. The prestigious weekly publication noted the V60 doubles as a stylish car and highly functional family wagon. Volvo made several changes to the 2015 Volvo XC60 suburban utility vehicle, including adding more engine options, introducing a new eight-speed transmission, and changing the standard equipment lineup. Both vehicles rate high with private and government safety testing organizations.

Performance

The 2015 Volvo V60 presents our Tallahassee customers with three engine choices. Volvo offers the standard T5 Drive-E engine that achieves 240 horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque. Both performance numbers rank higher than the performance numbers produced by the 2015 XC60 SUV. Customers that travel from outlying Georgia communities such as Bainbridge and Thomasville that value engine power typically select the Volvo V60 over the XC60.

Edmunds.com tested the 2015 Volvo V60 to accelerate from idle to 60 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds. The extra torque generated by the V60 helps our friends from nearby Quincy, FL to merge quickly into heavy Tallahassee area traffic. Volvo gets more power and acceleration out of the V60 than it gets from the XC60 due to the smaller body frame that creates less wind resistance. The V60 turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine option delivers 325 horsepower and 454 pounds-feet of torque.

Safety

As Capital Volvo customers know, the automaker integrates the City Safety system in every vehicle manufactured. The automatic braking system prevents collisions and antilock brakes keep our friends from nearby Quincy safe during classic Florida torrential downpours. Our Tallahassee customers benefit from the full-length side curtain airbags installed in both the 2015 Volvo V60 and XC60. The side curtain airbags protect vulnerable areas of the body, such as the spleen and ribcage. Blind Spot Information System includes front and rear parking sensors that alert you whenever you move to close to another parked car. The award winning safety feature also keeps you informed of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians that you cannot see.

When it comes down to making a decision between the 2015 Volvo V60 review and 2015 Volvo XC60 review, the factor that sways our friends from Georgia cities like Bainbridge and Valdosta involves interior room requirements. Larger families that place more of an emphasis on space should consider the 2015 Volvo XC60 SUV. On the other hand, the smaller 2015 V60 generates more power.

Interior

Although the 2015 Volvo XC60 gives our customers from outlying cities like Valdosta and Bainbridge ample storage space, the XC60 represents the better vehicle option for families that require more room to store gear and luggage for extended vacations. The rear seat provides three adults with above average crossover SUV leg and arm room. Flexible 40/20/40 split rear seat folding increases the maximum cargo space inside of the 2015 XC60 to 67 cubic feet.

Volvo engineers revamped the design of the XC60 interior to create a more upscale ambiance. The design changes move the crossover SUV closer to the V60 in terms of class. The floating center stack and real wood trim separate the style of the XC60 from the interior design found in other crossover SUVs. Customers that test drive the 2015 Volvo XC60 often praise the SUV for the firm support and supreme comfort provided by the spacious seats. The advanced communications system includes the Bluetooth hands free phone system.
