VOLVO is threatening to join the big-boys' league with the all-new XC60 – a compact SUV that competes head-on against the likes of the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. The Swedes are not taking any chances either, coming into this burgeoning segment with all guns firing thanks to affordable pricing, world-first safety gear, surprisingly adept dynamics and the sort of head-turning styling that most luxury car buyers do not usually associate with the marque. This is the most convincing Volvo in years, and we fully expect the XC60 to be one of the most popular vehicles in its class in no time at all.
