Having spent last week piloting an XC90 around rural Norfolk lanes and up and down Britain’s motorways, it was certainly going to be interesting stepping straight into an XC60. The XC90 has been around since 2003 whereas its little brother the XC60 is relatively new, having debuted in 2008. I was keen to put this 2012 AWD model with its tweaked D3 engine through its paces to see what it’s made of.
