Design of Volvo XC60

Inside the 2018 XC60, you will find luxury, technology and exceptional comfort. Three main trim levels are offered in the lineup: Momentum, Inscription, and R-Design.

For example, if you select the Momentum trim with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, your model will be designated as Momentum T5. The top trim levels incorporate natural driftwood in a washed-out silvery hue along the dash and center console, while supple Nappa leather covers the sport-padded heated seats. On all trims, a commanding 9-inch color touchscreen takes center stage on the dash with larger fonts and more user-friendly paths, and the infotainment system, Sensus, is compatible with Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto. Other hi-tech features that take the hassle out of every life include a hands-free tailgate. With a foot gesture, the rear door opens automatically. There is also the new CleanZone climate system that filters the outside air and delivers clean air to the cabin, perfect for the allergy-prone driver and/or urban driver. Additionally, there is the available Volvo On Call system, which allows you to control your vehicle from your smartphone.
