Up Close: 2009 Volvo XC60

Volvoxc60upclose

The XC60 could easily be mistaken for an XC90, as the two have similar front-end and profile styling, though the XC60 does have a sleeker appearance overall. The XC60's rear also features Volvo's characteristic tall-and-thin taillights.

While the aging XC90's cabin is starting to look a little drab, the XC60's interior can be outfitted in a variety of color combinations; leather seats are available in two-tone combinations like tan and brown or black and yellow. Yes, black and yellow. The dash also incorporates a new version of Volvo's slim center control panel.

The XC60 comes at the right time for Volvo and should appeal to shoppers looking for a small luxury crossover — especially if gas prices continue to rise. A fresh photo gallery is below.

Whoa. Nice.

The only things that concern me are rear visibility and a steering wheel that looks like mens' briefs. You see it?

Beyond that, GREAT job, Volvo!
