The new Volvo XC60 SUV, the first of Volvo's mid-sized 60 series models to be built on its Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, is now available to order in the UK.

It is powered by Volvo's efficient Drive-E powertrains, and features much of the advanced connectivity, entertainment and safety technology from the larger 90 series cars - the S90 premium saloon, V90 estate and XC90 SUV. Every XC60 comes with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

As standard, every version of the XC60 is luxuriously equipped. The entry-level Momentum variants for example come with leather-faced upholstery, LED headlights with active high beam, two-zone climate control with 'CleanZone' air-filtration system, heated front seats, a powered tailgate and 18" alloy wheels.

Jon Wakefield, Managing Director of Volvo Car UK, said: "We're incredibly excited about the brand-new XC60. Not only does it bring all the style and advanced technology from our larger cars to our best-selling SUV, it is the latest step in Volvo's transformation."

The XC60 is available to order now, with on-the-road prices starting at £37,205 for the D4 AWD Momentum version. The first customer deliveries expected in late summer 2017.
