Volvo has announced pricing for the small XC60 crossover sport-ute that will go on sale in March as a 2010 model.
The little ute, powered by a 281-hp 3.0-liter turbocharged six, starts at $38,025 (including $825 destination charge). That is not inexpensive. However, all XC60s come with leather seats, power driver's seat and Bluetooth connectivity and, oh yeah, all-wheel drive. It also comes with Volvo's recently announced three-year/36,000-mile complimentry factory-scheduled maintenance. Still, that's closer in price to a BMW X3 than to an Infiniti EX35.
A few choice options include the Collision Avoidance Package, which includes adaptive cruise control, collision warning with automatic braking, driver alert control and lane-departure warning for $1,695. The Technology package which includes an upgrade Dynaudio surround-sound audio system, navigation system and rear park assist goes for $2,700. This being a Volvo, it's also offered with built-in child booster seats for $495. Nordic Light Oak inlays will set you back $295. And the not-entirely-attractive-sounding Lime Grass Green Pearl paint is an extra $525.

Seems to be priced pretty well! Its base price is higher than the M-B GLK350s, though...I just wonder how many GLKs will be optioned as well as this thing, which would raise the price above this car's.

Please don't call it an sport-ute. It's the AMC Eagle wagon version of the S60. A jacked up wagon for those have extra money to burn.

This car is so comfortable inside.
That leather has no comparison but in another Volvo. Nobody makes buttery soft car leather like this.

It's priced way too high, but Volvo's resale value is so bad it'll be a great used car in 2 or 3 years.
