2015 Volvo XC60 vs 2016 Volvo XC60
Serving Tallahassee, Valdosta, Thomasville, Quincy, Bainbridge
The 2015 Volvo XC60 ranks within the top five luxury compact SUVs, according to U.S. News and World Report. Volvo made numerous changes to the 2015 rendition of the XC60 luxury SUV that includes more engine options and the unveiling of an all-new eight-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2015 Volvo XC60 with the organization's top safety honor. As our Tallahassee, Florida area customers eagerly await the arrival of the 2016 Volvo XC60, they want to know how the 2016 XC60 model compares with the wildly popular 2015 XC60 model.
Differences
After the changes made to the 2015 version of the XC60 Luxury SUV, Volvo engineers decided only to tweak some of the standard performance specifications for the 2016 XC60. Both the 2015 and 2016 XC60 operate on 2.0-liter engines that churn four cylinders. However, Volvo enhanced the timing performance of the four cylinders for the 2.0-liter 2016 XC60 engine to produce more horsepower and torque. The increase in power and acceleration for the 2016 Volvo XC60 does not hamper the fuel economy numbers posted by the compact luxury SUV. Both versions of the wildly popular luxury SUV can tow up to 3,500 pounds of cargo.
Comfort
Volvo's philosophy of not tinkering with a good thing applies to the interior design of the 2016 XC60. The XC60 has always represented the optimal vehicle for families that take frequent trips requiring ample storage for gear and luggage. The 2016 Volvo XC60 continues the large cargo storage space theme by maintaining the segment leading 67 cubic feet of storage space. Above average leg and arm room allows tall adults to enjoy supreme comfort in the back seats of both the 2015 and 2016 XC60. Fold down rear seats extend the already spacious cargo area to store camping gear for excursions into the Florida backcountry.
Safety
Both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and IIHS have recognized Volvo for developing some of the most effective safety features found within any vehicle segment. Both the 2015 and 2016 Volvo XC60 come equipped with full-length side curtain airbags that protect the vulnerable areas of the body, such as the ribs and pelvis. The Blind Spot Information System operates front and rear wheel sensors that detect and alert drivers of vehicle and pedestrian traffic that they cannot see. Blind spot monitoring especially helps drivers that pull away from obscured parking spaces in bustling shopping center lots. Stability and Traction Control keeps the 2015 and 2016 Volvo XC60 upright.
