The upcoming Volvo XC60 will be one of the most anticipated car from Volvo this coming 2010.  Due to Volvo’s lack luster sales performance this 2009, the company cannot afford to put out cars that the public will not like to buy.

The XC60 slots below the XC70 wagon and the XC90 crossover, this finally gives Volvo the chance to compete in the very lucrative entry luxury crossover vehicle market.  The XC60 is an all wheel drive t6 model that comes with a 6 speed automatic, 3.0 liter engine and pumps out 281 horsepower.

The car almost weighs two tons so it is not a very light car, but with the impressive engine this heavy baby can pull its own weight and provide the driver with a very good driving experience.  Because it carries the Volvo name all kinds of safety gadgets that you expect from a Volvo is there.  All the airbags you can fit inside a car are standard along with other safety features.

All in all the XC60 is a very good entry level crossover car for people who wants something different and still be able to use it after many years.
