History of the Volvo XC60
There isn't too much history to chart for the Volvo XC60, as the model first appeared as an all-new SUV in 2010. Years before it arrived, however, Volvo showed off the XC60 concept during the North American International Auto Show. The concept had a new grille, larger Volvo logo, and glass roof. The production model made its first appearance during the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, and Europeans got it before Americans got to own the 2010 XC60 during 2009. The original XC60 shared technology with the 2007 Land Rover Freelancer and went through several 3.2-liter engines with 240 to 320 pound-feet.
From the start, the XC60 received plenty of praise for its extensive list of safety features along with standard amenities and luxury styling. There were only minor adjustments in the first few model years. For the 2013 XC60, Volvo added automatic headlights along with automatic wipers to every single model. There was more restyling for the 2014 model year, including a new front end, upgrades to the interior, new option packages, and an enhanced all-wheel drive system. The cosmetic adjustments for that model year also included small changes on the taillights and exhaust tips, changes on the front driving lights and grille, and getting rid of black cladding that was on the lower door sills. Inside, a 7-inch touchscreen display was added and the T6 model added an available paddle shifter for those who wanted to extend the sporty feel of this model.
