2017 Volvo XC60 Used Price Estimates

If you're looking for a family-friendly SUV, the 2017 Volvo XC60 is a great place to start. The interior is as accommodating for adults as it is children, and all passengers benefit from the assurance that comes with top crash test scores and Volvo's obsession with safety innovations.

The XC60 further differentiates itself from other SUVs with its uniquely Scandinavian design and efficient yet potent four-cylinder engines. There's even a sporty R-Design model for drivers that want a more engaging experience.

Then again, there is no shortage of SUVs lining up to challenge the Volvo, and with many introduced or redesigned in recent years, some rivals have an technological and aesthetic edge. The long list of top competitors include the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Lexus NX 200t, Buick Envision, and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. Even in the face of such strong rivals, the 2017 Volvo XC60 is worth considering as it remains a great all-around performer.

Standard safety features for all Volvo XC60 models include antilock brakes, traction and stability control, whiplash protection for the front seats, front seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and Volvo On Call emergency telematics. Also standard is Volvo's City Safety system, which is a low-speed frontal collision warning and mitigation system with automatic braking.

A pair of integrated dual-stage child booster seats are optional and pop up from the rear outboard seats to accommodate children with a height/weight range from 37 inches and 33 pounds to 55 inches and 80 pounds. Other standard and/or available features include a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, an upgraded frontal collision warning system with fully automatic braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection, a driver-inattention warning system and lane departure warning.

In brake testing, an XC60 T6 with 20-inch wheels and summer tires came to a stop from 60 mph in 118 feet, a respectable distance for this class of vehicle. Surprisingly, all-season tires extended that distance by only a foot.

In government crash tests, the XC60 was awarded five out of five stars for overall, frontal and side crash protection, as well as four stars for rollover protection. Likewise, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the XC60 its highest score of Good for small- and moderate-overlap front crash protection, along with side protection, roof strength, and head restraints and seats. It also received a rating of Superior for its front-crash prevention technology.

Notably, we picked the Volvo XC60 as one of ' Best Used SUVs and Best Used Luxury SUVs for 2017.

The 2017 Volvo XC60 is a five-passenger compact SUV that is offered in three main trim levels (Dynamic, Inscription and R-Design) that are further differentiated by two engine choices (T5 and T6).

Standard features for the T5 Dynamic trim include 18-inch wheels, LED running lights, heated mirrors, roof rails, dual panoramic sunroofs, automatic wipers, remote ignition, cruise control, low-speed frontal collision warning and mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a rearview camera and rear parking sensors.

Interior features include dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather upholstery, eight-way power adjustable front sport seats with driver memory functions, 40/20/40-split folding rear seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, aluminum interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, Bluetooth phone and streaming audio, a 7-inch infotainment display, Volvo's Sensus Connect system with navigation and mobile apps, an eight-speaker stereo with USB/auxiliary audio input, HD and satellite radio.

The T6 Dynamic trim adds 19-inch wheels,a power liftgate, keyless entry/ignition and digital gauges. The Inscription trim includes all of the T5 Dynamic features along with 20-inch wheels, power-folding and auto-dimming exterior mirrors, front comfort seats, interior ambient lighting and wood interior trim. Most of these features are available on the T5 Dynamic as part of the Preferred Option package that also adds front parking sensors, a universal garage door opener, power-folding rear headrests and a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area.

R-Design models are similarly outfitted as the T6 Inscription and add unique exterior and interior styling treatments, adaptive xenon headlights, a sport-tuned suspension, power-folding mirrors, automatic high beams, headlight washers, steering-wheel shift paddles, sport pedals, adaptive cruise control, frontal collision warnings with full auto braking and pedestrian detection, a lane departure warning system, a universal garage door opener, power-folding rear headrests and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. Rear parking sensors are not available, though.

Most of the premium features are available as options on supporting trims. Bundled options include the Climate package (heated front and rear seats, heated windshield and washers, and a heated steering wheel) and the Advanced package (the R-Design's advanced safety systems, a drowsy driver alert system, a road sign reader and the premium audio). Standalone options include the heated front seats, adaptive xenon headlights, 20-inch wheels and dual two-stage integrated child booster seats.

The 2017 Volvo XC60 T5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque (with a momentary overboost to 280 lb-ft). An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels, and all-wheel drive is available at additional cost. Properly equipped, the T5 can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

The T6 and R-Design models receive a supercharger on top of the turbocharger for a power increase to 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, and towing capacity maxes out at 4,400 pounds.

The EPA estimates fuel economy at 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway) for the front-wheel-drive T5. Opting for all-wheel drive drops that figure to 23 mpg combined. The T6 is rated at 22 mpg combined (20 city/27 highway).

In testing, an XC60 T6 and R-Design accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 6.4 and 6.2 seconds, respectively. Volvo estimates the T5 will reach 60 mph in 6.8 seconds.

Despite what you might think about an SUV powered by a small four-cylinder engine, the XC60 T5 should be more than adequate for most drivers. If you're regularly loading it to capacity with people and cargo, we recommend the more powerful T6. Fuel economy suffers slightly, but probably not enough to be a deal-breaker. Regardless of engine choice, the eight-speed transmission delivers smooth shifts and the available all-wheel drive makes it a capable handler in cold weather climates.

Around town, the XC60 easily soaks up road imperfections and provides a comfortable ride quality. Think twice about the available 20-inch wheels, though, as you could find the resulting ride to be a touch too firm. As for handling, the XC60 is competent, but it's not the segment's sportiest entry. Largely because newer and sportier models have come along in recent years, the XC60 can seem out of its element on tight, twisting roads, and its steering is overly light.

Volvo's reputation for tastefully simple interiors is on full display in the 2017 XC60. The inviting cabin features a distinctive "waterfall" center stack that gracefully joins the dash and center console. Operating the climate control is intuitive, but other systems might take some getting used to. In particular, the infotainment system is controlled via a multifunction knob on the center stack rather than a traditional touchscreen or dial mount where your hand naturally rests. Menus for navigation and music browsing can also be confusing.

Seat comfort, on the other hand, is excellent. Front seats are well shaped and appropriately cushioned for long road trips, and the range of adjustments ensure a comfortable position for a variety of body types. Rear seats are similarly accommodating, delivering adult-sized head- and legroom. Volvo is still one of the only manufacturers to offer integrated child booster seats that fold out of the rear bench.

The quality of the interior materials is decent for the class, though some newer SUVs have surpassed the XC60 in terms of overall look and feel. The XC60's age also shows in the overabundance of buttons on the center stack and small infotainment screen. Cargo space is better than average, though, providing 30.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 67 cubic feet with those seats folded.

Volvo’s XC60 has always felt quick, and that attribute remains even though it exclusively uses 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engines for 2017. These aren't ordinary 4-bangers: The one in T5 models is turbocharged to make a more than adequate 240 horsepower, while the other in T6 variants is both supercharged and turbocharged to pump out 302 horsepower. That latter makes the XC60 downright fast. The XC60 remains on the firmer end of the spectrum, risking some harshness on rougher roads. Steering feel is good but a touch slow to react. The XC60 doesn't offer the advanced, semi-autonomous driving features of competitors like the Mercedes GLC or even its all-new big brother the XC90, but it does offer adaptive cruise control and comes standard with Volvo's City Safety collision-avoidance system that can automatically apply the brakes. Engine restarts from the automatic start/stop system can feel abrupt, but the system can be deactivated.

DRIVE-E TECHNOLOGY Yes, the name sounds odd, and it has nothing to do with electric propulsion, but Volvo's new engines are energetic and efficient. Through the use of turbocharging or -- in the case of the XC60 T6 -- turbocharging and supercharging, these engines wring out lots of power despite their small size. ACTIVE SAFETY FEATURES City Safety is Volvo’s system that can automatically apply the brakes at speeds up to 31 mph if it senses a forward collision and the driver fails to brake. Optional is another system that can detect pedestrians and bicyclists and will brake the vehicle at even higher speeds to avoid an accident.

The Volvo XC60's 2-row, 5-passenger interior benefits from Swedish elegance. The dash includes an available TFT adaptable digital instrument cluster, allowing the driver to select different settings and colors, while all models feature a 7-inch screen that relays navigation and information from Volvo's Sensus system. The sportier-minded Dynamic editions have bits of aluminum sprinkled in the cabin, while the more traditional Inscription models have wood decor. Both use genuine leather upholstery. A trait we've long appreciated in Volvos is the comfortable and supportive driver's seat, and the XC60 is no different. Dynamic models have sport front seats, while the Inscription’s are geared more for comfort.

Volvo design has been sleek and stylish so long that we've nearly forgotten those old boxy shapes. The 2017 Volvo XC60 embodies that aesthetic, featuring a graceful profile and proportions. It all hides a functional vehicle, with low roof rails to reduce wind noise, and an optional crossbar system to carry bikes, kayaks, skis and more. Dynamic trims have black accents and darkened wheels. Top-line T6 R-Design models eschew off-road ability for on-pavement performance, with stylish 20-inch wheels and a sport-tuned suspension. Stick with non-R-Design models if you regularly churn through snow or mud. All models feature a panoramic roof.

With Volvo's shuffling of the 2017 XC60 lineup, this premium-compact SUV is even better equipped out the gate. Whether you opt for a base XC60 T5 in Dynamic or Inscription form, it will come with leather seating, panoramic moonroof, power-adjustable front seats, 40/20/40-folding rear seats, and an infotainment system that bundles navigation system, HD Radio, CD player and Bluetooth phone connectivity. The Volvo XC60's many standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and the City Safety low-speed collision-avoidance system.

In addition to the stronger engine, T6 models feature all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard (it's optional on T5 models), larger wheels and power tailgate (also optional on T5 models). Along with its sport-tuned chassis, the top-line XC60 R-Design variant has many of the other options available on lower models, including adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, xenon headlights and harman/kardon audio system. Other goodies for 2017 include heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, integrated rear booster seats, rear-seat DVD entertainment system with two screens, power-folding rear headrests and power-retractable side mirrors.

Where in the past the Volvo XC60 has offered 4-, 5- and 6-cylinder engines, the latest version has a choice of just two 2.0-liter 4-cylinder powerplants. T5 models use a turbocharged version, while T6 and R-Design models have an engine that is both turbocharged and supercharged. Both are connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission. T5 models are front-wheel drive (FWD) as standard or can be optioned with all-wheel drive (AWD), while all versions of the T6 are now AWD, which mitigates the torque-steer issues we noted in past models that were front-drive. The Volvo XC60 is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds in T5 form and up to 4,400 pounds for T6 models with the more powerful engine. 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (XC60 T5) 240 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm 258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-4,800 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/30 mpg (FWD), 20/29 mpg (AWD) 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged inline-4 (XC60 T6 & R-Design) 302 horsepower @ 5,700 rpm 295 lb-ft of torque @ 2,100-4,500 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27 mpgNote: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.

The 2017 Volvo XC60 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just under $ 42,000 for a base T5 Dynamic or Inscription model. That is a few thousand more than last year, but this newer version has more features. The more powerful T6 model starts over $ 47,000, while the top-line XC60 R-Design begins just under $ 52,000. Option packages can tack on thousands more. At these prices, the XC60 now nearly mirrors rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus RX. The Acura RDX and Infiniti QX50 continue to tempt with prices starting in the mid-$ 30K range, as does the new Buick Envision. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new Volvo SUV. The XC60's resale value is expected to hold up fairly well, but still trail leaders like the Lexus RX and Audi Q5.
