The Volvo XC60 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars since 2008 and is now in its second generation.
The XC60 is part of Volvo's -60 series of automobiles, along with the S60, S60 Cross Country, V60, and V60 Cross Country. The first generation model was released in 2008 and introduced a new style for the -60 models. Similarly, the second generation model, released in 2017, the first of the second generation -60 series models.
The XC60 concept was a preview of the production XC60. It included a glass roof and a newly styled grille, with a much larger Volvo logo along with the 'V' which is shaped on the Volvo. The model introduced Volvo's new 'DNA' which they slowly implementing throughout the model range. The XC60 concept also included a new shifting mechanism, electronic bootlid, and 20 inch wheels.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show.

The production vehicle was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. Sales began in Europe in the third quarter of 2008 and in North American in early 2009 as a 2010 model. The XC60 has been Volvo's best selling car since 2009.
Manufactured by subsidiary Volvo Car Gent in Ghent, Belgium, the first generation XC60 is based on Volvo's P3 platform and the XC60 shares technology with the Land Rover Freelander of 2007. At the time of development, both Land Rover and Volvo were owned by Ford and development was split between the two subsidiaries.. Much of the engineering and tuning of this CUV was done by Volvo in Sweden, though offroad capabilities were done at Land Rover in England. The project director for the XC60 is Lars Blenwall.
In April 2010, an R-Design variant of the XC60 became available, featuring a color-matching body kit, stiffer chassis and damping, and other unique exterior/interior trim.
