TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Volvo XC60

Volvo XC60 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
Volvo has a new, highly fuel efficient four-cylinder engine on the way. For 2014, though, the XC60 continues to be powered by a trio of 3.0-liter sixes that lag most competitors in fuel economy. The T6 scored 17 mpg in the EPA's city cycle, and 24 mpg on the highway. The Cadillac SRX does even worse (16/23), but the Acura RDX (19/27), Audi Q5 3.0T (18/26), BMW X3 35xDrive (19/26), and Mercedes-Benz GLK350 (19/24) all do better. These disappointing test scores were validated during my week with the car. In suburban driving the trip computer average usually ranged between 18 and 20. Even with a light foot 22 wasn't easy to achieve. see full Volvo XC60 review

Not that great for a cross-over SUV, but it's a relatively heavy, solid vehicle with a 6-cylinder turbo, so it's not exactly a hybrid! see full Volvo XC60 review

I average around 20 MPG, but it is not an economy car - well worth it for the performance see full Acura RDX review
