Yeah, I don't see many Volvo drivers climbing underneath their XC60 to screw with the dampers. Inconveniently, you need a jack to adjust the rear knobs, at least according to the owner's manual. The closer you put them to zero, the stiffer the ride gets. Atop each individual damper is a knob that has 22 different settings. Most driver-selectable suspension systems are controlled from a simple switch inside the vehicle, but not these. These shock absorbers are adjustable, but not in the way you might expect. This Polestar model is also fitted with fancy Ohlins dampers. Watch this: Checking the tech in the 2019 Volvo XC90 This thing does such a magnificent impression of a six-cylinder engine, and a good one at that, most drivers would never know a mere four pots are propelling their upscale, Scandinavian crossover.

In fact, it's so well shielded scarcely any noise or vibration makes it into the XC60's passenger compartment.

On its own, this gasoline-burning unit is incredibly quiet and isolated. Like other modern Volvos, this Polestar-modified XC60 is propelled largely by a creamy-smooth, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. Friendly it may look both inside and out, but this crossover is nonetheless all business. Put this machine in motion and it carries itself with an imperious air, particularly the range-topping T8 E-AWD Polestar model, which offers loads of performance and a stern driving experience. The XC60 is luxurious and well made, with generous amounts of cargo space, more than 63 cubic feet with the rear backrest folded down. The reasons for this stellar showroom success are obvious from the moment you open a door and slide behind the wheel.

Globally, this multipurpose product is Volvo's best-selling model. Sitting at the core of that range is the XC60 utility vehicle.
