SUV without all-wheel drive's like beer without the foam. It tastes somewhat bland. On the other side: The Volvo XC 60 is anyway not a tough off-roader, but rather a softer, stylish SUV for the shopping spree of modern urbanites. As one might actually be the same but consistent, slush and mud Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes G, and let Co. and order the Volvo XC 60 with front drive. In combination with a manual transmission that saves more than 3,000 euros to the Volvo XC 60 2.4D-wheel, which is available only with automatic.
Volvo XC60 with 175 hp
In everyday life, the lack of rear-wheel drive on dry roads makes little negative impact. Only when starting especially on gentle slopes of the driver to drive influences on the steering feels clearer. Since the drag forces of the 175-hp 2.4-liter turbodiesel bad on the front wheels until the 1811-pound test car has set in motion. Once on the road, convinced of the Volvo XC 60 with good ride comfort. Transverse joints, the Swede, however, filter is not optimal, in extreme cases, they are to be felt in the steering. On winding country roads, he shows with early understeer also that he is more designed for safety because on agility. The steering response a bit sluggish, but this suits the direction of the car.
Fuel consumption is 1.5 liters less than the all-wheel variant
Long stretches of motorway are the Volvo XC 60 This draws his diesel have risen sharply. The maximum torque of 420 Nm is available 1.750/min. However, the engine at work is acoustically quite a presence. At higher speeds, also whispering wind noise interfere in the B-pillar. The front-wheel drive manual transmission is the fuel consumption over the four-wheel model with automatic transmission and a little less power (163 hp) at an advantage: its fuel consumption is 1.5 L/100 km with six liters lower than that of four-wheel version. If you choose the front-wheel drive and automatic transmission, the XC 60 consumed 6.9 L/100 km. The handset carries therefore nicknamed Drive, which stands at Volvo for the most economical model in the series. A fuel-saving start-stop system as in the Volvo V50 is missing, however, as a switching mode. On test day is approved, the Volvo XC 60 2.4D Drive 8.6 L/100 km. More than specified by the manufacturer for an SUV, however, an acceptable value.
Overall, there is much for the hand control with front
Also, because there are numerous extras at Volvo, into which one could invest the savings compared to the Euro 3000 Allradler with automatic transmission. As would be the excellent audio system "Premium Sound" for Euro 2100 or the integrated child seats for 300 euros. Since the Volvo XC 60 specially confusing to the rear, is also the PDC pays back for 510 euros. Also recommended: the driver-assistance package (2,050 euros) with cruise control and lane change and blind spot assistant. The City Safety system that prevents rear-end collision from rest to 30 km / h, is series. A disadvantage of manually-2.4 D Drive after all. Who will use it for towing, must be content with only 1,500 kilograms maximum towing capacity. With automatic go 1.800, the four-wheel version may draw even 2000 pounds.via
