Rumour: 2nd-gen Volvo XC60 to be launched in December

The second-generation Volvo XC60 was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Now, according to a media report, the new XC60 will be launched in India in December 2017.

The new XC60 is based on Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) which underpins the XC90, V90 and S90 sedan. In India, the XC60 will be offered only in ‘Inscription’ trim. The top-spec XC60 Inscription comes equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, air-suspension, a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, head-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, etc. It is also expected to be equipped with multiple active safety systems.

Volvo will likely offer a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, twin-turbocharged D5 diesel engine on the XC60. This engine produces 232 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 480 Nm of torque @ 1,750-2,250 rpm and comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. All-wheel drive will be offered as standard. Volvo offers a smaller D4 diesel engine with 188 BHP in the international market, which could be introduced at a later date.
