2010 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD
2010 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD - Volvo Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
It's safe, comfortable, spacious, smooth, modestly attractive, and reasonably powerful, with great cargo space and a flat load floor.

I drove the XC60 only briefly, but it's a handsome little crossover, certainly better looking than the Mercedes-Benz GLK350, if not quite as sexy as the Audi Q5. The interior is a letdown. The Volvo center stack is really, really getting old, and it's not particularly user-friendly. The navigation screen displayed the usual legal warning language and instructed me to "push ENTER to accept these conditions." I pushed the ENTER button numerous times, to no avail; the screen retained the legalese and I never saw a map.
