IRVINE, CA - Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) announced pricing  of its newest version of its acclaimed small premium utility the XC60.

Fuel economy for the 3.2-liter is nothing short of excellent with an estimated 27 miles per gallon on the highway and an estimated 18 miles per gallon in the city. Additionally, Volvo - a perennial leader in emissions control - offers two version of the 3.2 with either ULEV-II (ultra low emissions) or PZEV (partial zero emissions) systems.
