Latest XC60 launched in SA
The much-anticipated new Volvo XC60, the current 2018 World Car of the Year, is now available in South Africa. The new vehicle replaces Volvo’s successful original XC60, which in the nine years since its launch became the best-selling premium mid-sized SUV in Europe with one million units sold globally. The XC60 today represents around 30 percent of Volvo’s total global sales and is also Volvo’s best-selling vehicle in South Africa.
The XC60 is the fourth model based on Volvo’s self-developed SPA (Scalable Platform Architecture), following the introduction of the top-of-the-line 90 cluster in recent years. It is fully-loaded with new technology and when tested by Euro NCAP in 2017 it received the highest score of all new vehicles tested, with a near-perfect 98% in the Adult Occupant category.
Locally, the XC60 is available with two diesel engines (D4 and D5) and two petrol (T5 and T6), all mated to an 8-speed Automatic AWD gearbox. Customers can choose from three trim levels: elegant Momentum, sporty R-Design and the luxurious top-of-the-range Inscription. Prices for the XC60 range from R666,024 for the D4 Geartronic AWD Momentum to R781,036 for the top-of-the-line D5 Geartronic AWD R0-Design.
