We recommend going straight for the T6 powertrain, or the T8 if you can afford it and want a hybrid. Since the pricing for the R-Design and Inscription trims are the same, you get to pick whether you want a sportier or more luxurious flavor for your luxury SUV. As excellent as the Polestar Engineered model is, it's priced similarly to the BMW X3 M and the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63 and although neither of those are hybrids, they're arguably better performance crossovers.

If you're shopping for the base Momentum model and if your budget allows it, consider the Advanced package ($2,500) and the Multimedia package ($1,850). Find a Volvo XC60 for sale

The 2020 Volvo XC60 comes with T5, T6 and T8 drivetrains, each of which is available in Momentum, R-Design, and Inscription trim levels. There's a new Polestar Engineered trim available exclusively with a higher-performance version of the T8 drivetrain.

The Inscription ($47,495) has all the above, but replaces the R-Design's sportier equipment for more luxurious alternatives, and dispenses with the paddle shifters. It also comes with quad-zone automatic climate control, a chilled glovebox, ambient LED cabin lighting, "Driftwood" trim and a leather-covered dashboard.

The new-for-2020 XC60 Polestar Engineered ($70,145) sits at the top of this Volvo's model range coming exclusively with a T8 drivetrain that is 15 hp more powerful than the T8 in the other three trims of the XC60. This trim includes an appearance package similar to what the R-Design offers and adds 21-in wheels black polished forged alloy wheels, a Polestar-engineered chassis, and Bowers & Wilkins premium audio.

Some equipment in the higher trims is optional at the Momentum level, such as the Premium and Multimedia packages mentioned above. Individual options include an adaptive air suspension, child booster cushions for the rear-seat outer positions, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, massaging seats (for the Inscription) and a Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker/1,400-watt audio system.

T6 Momentum versions start from $46,595; T8 Momentum models are priced from $54,595 and these also include a plug-in charging cable. Pricing for the R-Design and Inscription models are identical with the T6 models starting at $53,295 and the T8 hybrid versions starting at $61,295.
