The 2014 Volvo XC60 vs. the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK

The sharp, sporty style, luxurious interior, and superior safety of the 2014 Volvo XC60 makes it a favorite of families throughout the Manchester area. Here at Lovering Volvo in Concord, the preferred Volvo dealer for Manchester, we think you will be as thrilled as we are with all that this dynamic crossover has to offer. With all of the features and versatility that families want in a CUV, the XC60 easily matches up with more expensive competitors like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK.

Versatility, Safety, and Value

A family crossover should be roomy, versatile, and provide competent performance and a high level of safety. And all of that describes the 2014 XC60 pretty well.

The new Volvo CUV offers a comfortable cabin with seating for 5 and a maximum cargo capacity of 67.4 cubic feet, compared to the 54.7 cubic feet you get with the Mercedes. The versatility provided by that extra space makes a big difference when you're chauffeuring the family to the soccer game or heading out for a vacation.

The Volvo crossover gives you a choice of two in-line 6-cylinder engines: a 240 hp 3.2L and a 230 hp 3.2L. The GLK features a 302 hp 3.5L V6 engine. While there are more horses with the Mercedes, the XC60 is certainly no slouch when it comes to performance?and will almost certainly save you hundreds of dollars in gas money.

Vehicle safety has been a hallmark of the Volvo brand since the beginning, and the XC60 is a fine example of the care and superior engineering for which the Swedish automaker is famous. The 2013 model of the Volvo crossover was named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, and the new edition carries over all of the most advanced safety systems available, such as:

·         Adaptive Cruise Control

·         Driver Alert Control

·         Lane Departure Warning

·         Distance Alert

·         The innovative, Volvo exclusive City Safety System

The bottom line says it all. With a base MSRP of $34,850 for the XC60, compared to $37,480 for the Mercedes, it's clear which vehicle is the better value.
