The Volvo XC60 may not be a newcomer to the Vietnamese market, but the latest generation keeps the brand’s signature calm confidence while adding subtle upgrades that appeal to discerning families.
Exterior: A Subtle Fresh Look
The most noticeable change is the redesigned front grille with a finer, more angular mesh, giving the SUV a modern, youthful edge without straying from Volvo’s minimalist language. Dimensions remain at 4,708 mm × 1,902 mm × 1,656 mm with a 2,865 mm wheelbase.
Interior: Premium Comfort Made Simple
Inside, the XC60 offers a clean layout that feels both luxurious and unpretentious. Standard equipment includes LED Matrix headlights, a 360° camera, a head-up display (HUD), and a large touchscreen with Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only via wired connections, which may feel dated for a vehicle priced above VND 2 billion.
A standout family feature is the built‑in child‑seat. With a single press, the rear seat cushion lifts and locks into place, making it ready for a small child. Younger kids can still use a detachable car seat or a travel cot.
Driving Experience: Smooth, Confident, and Safe
Test‑driving the 2.0‑liter I4 mild‑hybrid (249 hp, 350 Nm) on a variety of roads—from congested city streets to coastal highways—revealed a vehicle that is remarkably composed. The adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking work seamlessly, even on the winding Phan Thiết route.
Acceleration from 0–100 km/h takes 6.9 seconds, and the SUV feels eager with just a light tap on the pedal. The suspension soaks up rough stone‑covered roads without unsettling occupants, while the steering remains responsive yet not overly sporty.
Verdict
The Volvo XC60 is not marketed as a performance coupe or a flashy status symbol. Its strength lies in understated elegance, solid build quality, and a suite of safety‑first technologies that make it an ideal choice for families who value comfort, reliability, and a calm driving feel.
Pricing starts at roughly VND 2.299 billion for the gasoline version and VND 2.75 billion for the plug‑in hybrid, positioning the XC60 as a premium but sensible alternative to louder, more aggressive SUVs.
