Volvo XC60 2024 review: Ultimate B5 Bright | Consider this SUV over BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC?

The 2024 Volvo XC60 is a well-established mid-size SUV in the premium segment. It goes tyre to tyre with the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5, among others. Needless to say, it needs to stand out from that competitive crowd if it is to succeed – so does it?

In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar and her family of three spend a week living with the XC60's Ultimate B5 Bright variant to find out just how well it measures up against its competitors in the family-car stakes.

It's worth noting the XC60's line-up has changed quite dramatically in recent times, with regular internal-combustion engines axed in favour of mild-hybrid versions – including the B5 tested here – as Volvo charges ahead with its electrification plans. In fact, the Swedish brand is aiming to be all-electric in Australia by 2026 – yes, that's only two years away!
