New front wheel drive Volvo XC60
Volvo has unveiled a “greener” version of the Volvo XC60 SUV that emits less than 170g/km of CO2 emissions. The new variant of the XC60 reduces fuel consumption and emissions by having a front wheel drive drivetrain instead of a heavier all-wheel drive system and an improved Euro5 compliant 2.4 liter diesel engine.
The new diesel engine has an additional 12 horsepower and 80Nm of torque over the previous version for a total of 175 horses and 420Nm of torque. This is thanks to reduced internal friction and pumping losses in the engine, increased pressure in the intake and exhaust system, increased injection pressure and a refined fuel-injection system thanks to new Piezo injectors.

A decent SUV, on the same price basis I would take the X1, if the price is different, then it will depends on my pocket.

Is it X1 or X3 size?Looks quite big. XC 90 is X5 competitor.Volvo has a nice website to see the XC 60 with videos.But most people still buy volvos for the safety aspect which is well accepted. No matter what the sales man says a volvo will never be as engaging to drive as a BMW so it depends on what you are looking for in a car

you are all a blardy bunch of brand-motivated forumers. i bet if this car is tagged BMW X1 some of you will say otherwise.
