XC60 pricing info released

Volvo’s new XC60 will be available to New Zealand customers in November, from $84,000 plus on-roads. The XC60 will offer both petrol and diesel alternatives as well as the flagship of the range, the T8 Twin Engine Plug-In Hybrid, first seen in New Zealand in the XC90. All new XC60 models feature all-wheel drive, and three different levels of specification. Pricing for the XC60 T5 Momentum with the turbocharged 2-litre engine will start at $84,900 plus on-roads, while the top line XC60 T8 R-Design is priced from $117,900 plus on-roads. Volvo’s NZ general manager Coby Duggan says early interest in the new model has been strong with self driving technology becoming more important to premium SUV buyers. “Kiwi consumers are increasingly aware of the safety benefits of automation in vehicles,” he said. All XC60s will come equipped with standard equipment that includes a 360-degree camera, navigation, parking assistance, keyless entry, handsfree tailgate and Apple Carplay / Android Auto integrated into the stereo system. Optional features such as soft Nappa Leather seats with ventilation and massage, Bowers & Wilkins speakers and four-corner air suspension are available. The first XC60s are set to arrive in NZ in November in limited numbers, and pre-sales are now underway.
