2024 Volvo XC60 Summary

Volvo is a brand that has some strong images associated with it. High-end safety, five km/h below the speed-limit-driving-styles, sitting close to the steering wheel, sweater-sets, ‘bloody Volvo driver’ expletives… ahem (present company excluded, of course).

Those who are watching the brand closely know those images are almost defunct because that’s old Volvo and this is new Volvo.

Comfort and safety still appear to be at the top of the brand's priority list but style is being retuned to make this medium-sized SUV a true competitor against its luxury rivals, the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX.

I’ve been family-testing the new Ultimate B5 Bright grade for the last few weeks and have thrown road-trips, kids and pets at it!

In this review I’ll unpack how the XC60 has handled life with my family of three.

2024 Toyota Prado Summary

The 2024 Toyota LandCruiser Prado was unveiled in early August and it's set to land in Australia in mid-2024.
