How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

This is a page dedicated to the Volvo XC60, specifically focusing on its boot space—a crucial aspect for anyone considering practicality alongside luxury and performance. With Volvo's reputation for blending Scandinavian design with cutting-edge technology, the XC60 proves to be a versatile family SUV.

Let's delve into the cargo capacity of the current model and see how it has evolved over the years.

Volvo XC60 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Examining the evolution of the Volvo XC60's boot space reveals some interesting trends. The first generation (2008-2013) and its facelift version (2013-2017) both offered 495 liters of boot space, which was quite generous for the segment.
