Read more2021 Volvo XC60 vs. 2021 Infiniti QX50: So Much More With the XC60
The XC60 is a part of Volvo's acclaimed midsize crossover family. With exceptional style, generous luxury, innovative tech and more, every XC60 features the refinement you expect. However, it is also practical and fun with advanced powertrains and a cabin design that adapts to your lifestyle.
To illustrate how the XC60 measures up against other crossovers in its segment, we compare it to the 2021 Infiniti QX50.
The 2021 Volvo XC60 helps you move the way you want
The XC60 delivers when you need more powertrain options. XC60 petrol models offer two. The T5 engine includes a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that generates 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. When a little more output is necessary, the T6 turbocharged four-cylinder generates 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The XC60 offers a third exciting powertrain, but let's explore what the QX50 includes in its lineup. Each model is powered by a turbo 4-cylinder engine that develops 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Although this is a little more capable than the XC60's T5, it stops dead in its tracks, with no other powertrains offered.
The most efficient and powerful model in this comparison, the XC60 Recharge is the pride of the Volvo XC60 lineup. The T8 hybrid system provides 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque and up to 415 horsepower in the Polestar Engineered grade.
Overall, the XC60 is more efficient and capable than the QX50.
The 2021 Volvo XC60 keeps you connected
The XC60 multiplies the ways you can connect and entertain. The Sensus infotainment system helps you focus on the road while helping you stay connected with your business, family, and friends. This system can be connected to the available Bowers & Williams sound system.
XC60 also deploys unique technologies, like the Pilot Assist system, which helps accelerate and steer to help the driver on long trips.
The XC60 has more maximum front/rear headroom, front/rear hip room, and more front leg room than the QX50. Every trip is an opportunity for you and passengers to relax and enjoy the experience.
