Like a kid in a candy shop, Volvo has arrived in Grasso’s Garage. With their ever popular, 2025 Volvo XC60 Ultra, this mid-size luxury SUV deserves all the accolades.

In Grasso’s Garage it’s our highest recommended mid-size luxury SUV and for good reason. Its size delivers plenty of room for all passengers and all-wheel drive making it great for all areas of the country. It boasts great power, the legroom is extraordinary, the technology is easy to use, the exterior and interior aesthetics are flawless, and now it comes in a hybrid; what else could anyone want in a vehicle?

Our tester, the Ultra model is wrapped in popular Denim Blue and a Maroon Brown interior leather which was very subtle. The appeal and design of the Volvo XC60 is what stands out the most. The curvatures and sleekness of the XC60 are unlike no other SUV in today’s market. Powering our tester is the 2.0 Liter turbocharged, direct injected engine, producing 247 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the 48V mile hybrid system with regenerative braking was potent and not sluggish. The 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission was quiet and effortless. In addition to the Ultra model, our tester included the Climate Package, Trailer Hitch, Luggage Cover, air-ride suspension, a Bowers and Wilkins Premium Sound System, front seat massagers, and 22-inch 5-double spoke diamond cut alloy wheels. Volvo also included 3-years of factory schedule maintenance for no additional charge, while their warranty includes 48 months/50,000 miles. As a past Volvo XC60 owner myself and a V60 wagon owner currently, the Volvo brand delivers a great array of features that make driving a real enjoyment. For a full-framed 6’1? person, I fit in the back and front comfortably and with plenty of room to stretch out. The XC60 is not only a staple in Grasso’s Garage, but others in my family.

For Grasso’s Garage, when it comes to mid-price luxury, Volvo stands on a pedestal. Their class, luxury, style, comfort and safety are all chart-toppers and the XC60 does it best. So good that it has earned the 2025 Grasso’s Garage Overall Vehicle Of The Year Award. Congrats Volvo on continuing to produce an amazing SUV.
