VOLVO XC60 FROM $59,990

Volvo’s second-generation XC60 adds some sophisticated Scandinavian style to the traditional Volvo virtues of safety and sensibleness. It’s a good thing, too, having taken out the Wheels magazine Car of the Year award for 2017.

This all-new model brings increases in spaciousness, efficiency and safety. These are all baked into what Volvo’s designers and engineers call SPA, shorthand for Scalable Product Architecture.
