The all new XC60 facelift has arrived, with new sets of wheels, colours, new screens, extra quietness, better safety and faster teach, the only question is can you justify the price of one?
One thing we did discover but we will need to check is that the new wheels, did somehow bring more noise into the cabin, even though, overall the car is quieter than the last XC60 we tried in 2023. We will need to try another one and repeat our road noise tests to be sure. We also reveal what Jeremy Clarkson says about this car and notice one welcome addition to the Bowers and Wilkins Sound System.
