Inside, depending on the trim-level, look for T-Tec (premium cloth) or leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, full power accessories, memory for driver settings, cruise control, telescoping tilt-wheel steering, and keyless entry and ignition. The T5 and T6 Platinum sub-trims also come with power-folding outside mirrors. A power sunroof is included with the T5’s available Premier package, while the T6 R-Design editions sport standard 20-inch alloy wheels and upgraded exterior accents. Standard profile features for the T5 trims include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, a roof rack, and heated power-adjustable outside mirrors. Look for mileage estimates in these two editions to remain 17/24/20. But while the T6 AWD’s version of this forced-air I6 puts out 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, the R-Design gets a tweaked variant that pounds down 325 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. The T6 AWD and the T6 R-Design both retain a 3.6-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder (I6) powerplant mated to the 6-speed shiftable automatic. Managed by the 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission, this super-force-fed powerplant puts out 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, with included engine stop-start technology and mileage estimates of 22/30/25. Next up is the turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter I4 engine that comes standard aboard the FWD-equipped XC60 T6 Drive-E. This forced-air I5 combines with a 6-speed shiftable automatic for 250 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, with an estimated mileage of 18/25/21. The T5 AWD sports a 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder (I5) powerplant that was introduced midway through the current year. Mileage estimates for this I4 are again estimated at 24 mpg city/31 highway/27 combined.

This combo puts out 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and features fuel-saving automatic engine stop-start technology (which debuted in 2015.5), meaning the engine shuts down at a stop and restarts when the gas pedal is depressed. Power-wise, the entry-level 2016 XC60 T5 Drive-E-available with FWD only-packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 engine that’s mated with an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission. Full-time AWD returns as an option in the T5 AWD, T6 AWD, and T6 R-Design iterations. The 2016 XC60 lineup returns with standard front-wheel drive (FWD), branded with the Drive-E designation. Each trim is further divided into Premium and top-shelf Platinum sub-trims. The 2016 Volvo lineup is offered in either the T5 or the T6 variations, with both sub-divided into Drive-E and AWD designations and the T6 also offering an AWD R-Design sub-trim. The old 3.2 AWD (all-wheel drive) trim, with its normally aspirated V6 powerplant, was phased out mid-year and replaced with the T5 AWD trim, which boasts a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder (I4) mill with considerably more power. This plan means that once the factory warranty runs out on your Volvo (100,000 miles), you pay once for any repair (parts and labor) and all further repairs on that same part or system are free.Īs noted, the 2016 XC60 is essentially carried over from what the Swedes call the "2015.5" model year, during which the XC60 got a number of notable upgrades (and deletions). This 5-passenger, 5-door mini-ute underwent a significant metamorphosis during the 2015 model year, resulting in several upgrades that carry over into the upcoming version.Īlthough Swedish-based Volvo has hinted at further slight alterations to the 2016 XC60, the big news is a new “Pay Once and Never Pay Again” lifetime warranty that covers every Volvo manufactured from now on.
