Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviews are very positive regarding the new Volvo XC60's sleek exterior. Most test drivers favor it over its sibling, the larger, boxier XC90, which is in desperate need of a refresh.

• "We have to agree with Volvo's PR machine that the XC60 is the best-looking vehicle in the brand's lineup, taking the look that the automaker has been evolving for some 15 years now and shaving off all the rough edges." -- Autoblog
• "The XC60 is the first production vehicle to reflect Volvo's new design DNA. With a strong face featuring a larger logo and grille and a broader shoulder line, the XC60 has a more sporty, muscular stance than its Volvo brethren." -- Automobile Magazine
• "The face and stern are unmistakably Volvo, but the shape is more fluid and stylish than anything recent from the Swedish automaker and makes the bigger XC90 look boxy. Standout design also extends to the handsome interior." -- Car and Driver
• "The XC60 is instantly recognizable as a Volvo SUV thanks to its large front grille, which is similar to the one its larger sibling -- the XC90 -- uses. Despite this similarity, the XC60 is sleeker overall and has unique design cues, like angular, supplementary lights just inside its large headlights." -- Cars.com
• "There are basically two types of crossover profiles: The scaled-down truck version or the souped-up wagon version. The XC60 leans much more toward the wagon model, which seems fitting because of Volvo's rich heritage of wagons. But the XC60 has much curvier lines than the wagons of the past, which took their cues from bricks." -- Detroit News
