2. Modern and elegant exterior

In addition to its helpful tech features and refined interior, the 2021 Volvo XC60 boasts a stylish and appealing exterior. The XC60 is distinguished by an elegant and imposing shape, with clean curves in the front end that's dominated by a large grille. That look is contrasted by sharp accents in the back, with narrow vertical taillights that go all the way up to the top of the rear window. The signature Volvo LED headlight design conveys the confidence and strength you want in an SUV.

The base model comes with an infotainment system featuring a nine-inch touchscreen that you can use to access navigation and various car functions, as well as entertainment applications. The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™. Bluetooth^® connectivity is also part of the standard equipment, as is satellite radio.

4. Abundant standard tech

The 2021 Volvo XC60 boasts plenty of helpful driver-assistance features. For starters, the XC60 comes standard with forward collision mitigation, a system designed to assess the situation ahead and apply the brakes automatically where needed. Then, there are the rear parking sensors and rear automatic braking, as well as lane-keeping assist and rear cross-traffic alert. These types of features can provide peace of mind on your daily drive.

5. Plenty of storage room

Storage capacity is among the leading reasons to buy an SUV, and the 2021 Volvo XC60 won't let you down here. Interior cargo volume is 22.4 cubic feet, which increases to a maximum cargo capacity of 63.3 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. In addition to ample room for storage, loading and unloading cargo is quite convenient. The 2021 Volvo XC60 comes standard with a hands-free tailgate, allowing you to open and close it by placing your foot under the bumper and making a simple movement.
