2010 Volvo XC60 Exterior
To distance its latest crossover from the larger and lower-priced XC70, Volvo gave the XC60 one of the most stylish designs to grace a Volvo to date. Every aspect of the XC60’s design is aimed to either add 2010 Volvo XC60Volvo character styling or improve safety, and in some cases both. Some of the best aspects of current Volvo designs are incorporated into the XC60’s wedge-shape styling including the trapezoidal front grille with an enlarged Volvo logo, the broad, curved shoulders running the length of the body and the pear-shaped rear end with tall LED taillights. The wide, sporty stance of the XC60 is also magnified by the rising beltline, sloped roofline and steeply raked D-pillar. Like other Volvo XC vehicles, the lower edges of the XC60 are wrapped in matte black plastic to prevent damage during off-road maneuvers. Our test vehicle came in what appears to be the XC60’s iconic hue, Terra Bronze Metallic, and a stylish set of 18-inch, six twin-spoke alloy wheels with XC engravings.
