20.25 -> favour of much more streamlined styling
22.97 -> inside
24.27 -> Volvo's trademark floating center
26.279 -> console dominates the dashboard and the
28.68 -> controls are logically laid out the new
31.41 -> se luxe model comes with a customizable
34.079 -> driver display sat-nav leather-faced
37.47 -> seats and rear parking sensors there is
42.27 -> also plenty of storage I have a few
44.61 -> items to demonstrate that with we've got
47.16 -> car by a large bottle some wax and then
52.8 -> in center we've got two cupholders and
56.329 -> somewhere to put my phone lip gloss and
59.67 -> the volvo key and essential for the
64.17 -> british weather and umbrella fits in the
66.569 -> door bin there's enough adjustment in
69.479 -> the seat and steering wheel for most
72.209 -> people to find a comfortable driving

82.67 -> sorry guys you're going to have to get
84.869 -> out I need to take this on a road test
95.04 -> now that I've got the curve to myself
97.33 -> again I can tell you what it's like to
99.4 -> drive normally I will be taking you to
101.8 -> the nearest off-road section and showing
104.08 -> off its capabilities but the xc60 is
107.47 -> more of a tool family estate car than an
110.47 -> off-roader which means it's really easy
113.02 -> to drive and very practical and the high
115.6 -> driving position gives a great view of
117.52 -> the road and is rather conducive with
119.47 -> its glowing safety credentials it scored
122.41 -> the maximum five stars in the euro n cat
124.96 -> crash safety tests no surprise given
127.33 -> that it's a Volvo and even the SE model
130.21 -> comes with a system called city safe
132.88 -> which automatically applies the brakes
134.59 -> if it senses that a crash is imminent of
137.23 -> speeds of up to 19 miles an hour back to
140.98 -> its identity
141.79 -> it sits somewhere between the rugged
143.89 -> off-roading Land Rover Freelander 2 and
146.17 -> the sportier harder riding ldq 5 but
150.07 -> don't watch those videos just yet I
152.11 -> promise to remind you at the end having
155.41 -> said that you can get it into all
157.45 -> four-wheel-drive although unless you
160.51 -> find yourself towing heavy loads or
162.55 -> venturing off road we recommend the two
165.34 -> wheel drive version thanks to its
167.5 -> cheaper purchase price better on-road
169.57 -> comfort and superior fuel economy the
172.95 -> 179 brake horsepower 2-liter dee4diesel
176.55 -> returns 60.1 miles to the gallon and
179.95 -> emits just 124 g/km of co2 and don't
185.11 -> think that means it's slow because you
187.18 -> will get to 60 in 8.5 seconds despite
191.23 -> that the Mazda cx-5 is cheaper to run
193.78 -> still and more fun other complaints
196.989 -> include noisy engines slow to react
200.35 -> automatic gearbox and clunky manual
203.32 -> gearbox
206.97 -> I have one final complaint the boot well
213.63 -> no not really it's not the size it's the
216.93 -> lack of 7-seater option that is a
218.7 -> downside about this car it's actually a
222.03 -> really good size and it comes with flat
224.88 -> folding seats as you can see and no load
232.32 -> lip which means getting items in and out
234.24 -> is very easy plus you can even take
236.88 -> picnic table on the options list so I
241.95 -> wouldn't let those picky negatives get
244.02 -> in the way of you and this practical
246.39 -> family car
247.29 -> Volvo really do seem to have the right
249.51 -> blend of performance comfort and
251.97 -> usability with the x60 as a brand it
255.18 -> fared very well in the driver power
257.07 -> satisfaction survey with a very
259.29 -> respectable 8th place but before you
262.44 -> make up your mind and I did promise to
264.42 -> remind you why not check out the video
