What Kind of MPG Rating Can You Expect From the 2014 Volvo XC60?

Drivers who want the size and power of an SUV have gotten used to sacrificing good fuel efficiency over the years, but the engineers at Volvo have set out to change that. Their new 2014 XC60 has all the functionality you're looking for in an SUV, but with a fraction of the fuel necessary to power similar competing models. All the power and performance drivers need is right there alongside Volvo's attractive new styling, but the XC60 is as efficient as some (much smaller) sedans. Below are the estimated MPG ratings for the 2014 XC60's various trim levels.

The XC60 3.2

This build of the XC60 is the most fuel-efficient model available. Drivers enjoy 18 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. An exclusive feature built into the 6-cylinder engine allows the intake valvetrain to switch between economy and performance modes. That means you get power when you need it and efficiency when you don't. Plus, with brake energy regeneration, you automatically use 2-3% less fuel.

The XC60 T6 AWD

The T6 AWD model offers more power and performance than the 3.2, with only a slight dip in highway MPG. In the city it maintains its 18 MPG, with a still very respectable 25 MPG on the highway. That makes it the ideal vehicle for families, commuting, or travel. Polestar Performance tuning allows you to pull even higher horsepower and torque from the 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder without lowering fuel economy. The Geartronic transmission and steering wheel controls allow you to seamlessly switch gears for a driving experience that is as fun as it is efficient.

The XC60 T6 AWD R-Design

This is the sportiest model of the XC60, but it does not sacrifice efficiency for performance. Drivers will enjoy getting 17 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, even as the turbocharged engine roars with an impressive 325 hp. In addition to this great gas mileage, the R-Design model has a gorgeous interior and advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers safe in any driving conditions. If you are looking for a premium crossover SUV but also want to do your part to live sustainably, the T6 AWD R-Design is a great choice.
