2013 Volvo XC60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Volvos have long been renowned for seat comfort, and the XC60 continues this tradition with seats that are thoroughly supportive without being as firm as those in the Cadillac and in the German crossovers. This said, some people might find the headrests overly intrusive. The Inscription Package adds power lumbar adjusters to both seats. Otherwise these adjusters are manual. Notable in its absence: front seat ventilation, offered in the Audi and Cadillac, isn't an option in the XC60. Also, no massage. see full Volvo XC60 review

2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	They are firm enough & well shaped to be comfortable over the long trip + also comfortable when you first sit in them see full Volvo XC60 review
