Living in Northfield, IL means having a lot of things dictated by the weather, especially during the colder months of the year. If you rely on a car to get around, you have to be sure that it can deal with whatever Mother Nature brings, including snow.
This is why many people in our area opt for the Volvo XC60, as it can easily handle heavy amounts of snow and ice.
Great Power
Even the base model of the Volvo XC60 has a potent engine. Enjoy its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit that produces 247 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are even additional engines to pick from, including a:
