The first generation of the Volvo XC60 was launched in Switzerland at the end of 2008. The mid-size SUV has subsequently become the Swedish manufacturer's most successful model throughout Europe.
Success model
More than 20,000 first-generation XC60s were sold in the Swiss market alone. "This means that the first-generation XC60 was our best-selling model in Switzerland for seven years," says Natalie Robyn, Managing Director at Volvo Car Switzerland.
Three lines available
The new Volvo XC60 is available in three equipment lines: Momentum, R-Design and Inscription. Even the entry-level model offers a high standard of safety.

The top model in the powertrain range is the plug-in hybrid T8 Twin Engine AWD with a system output of 407 hp/300 kW...
Thor's hammer
Visual identifiers of the new Volvo XC60 include LED headlights in "Thor's Hammer" design - a feature of all new Volvo models. With the new XC60, Volvo Switzerland is also introducing the connectivity and service app "Volvo On Call" as standard equipment. The standard equipment also includes dual-zone automatic climate control, an air quality system and a leather steering wheel. Above the entry-level version, the manufacturer offers its successful SUV in the sporty R-Design variant with numerous design details as well as in the premium Inscription version. Prices start at 54,000 Swiss francs.
