2026 Volvo XC60 review

Volvo XC60: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

9.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Volvo XC60 sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; standard driver-assist suite. Third row (where offered) is for kids and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $50,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Priya D. · Charlotte, NC · 30 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
