The all-new Volvo 2010 XC60 we test-drove recently is the company's newest entry into the growing class of compact luxury SUVs. We're certainly impressed by the handling dynamics and the standard safety tech. But with a growing emphasis on fuel-economy performance these days, we not only wanted to know how the newest Volvo performs over several tankfuls, but how it compares to the diesel version available in Europe. The "D5" diesel in our test model does not meet U.S. emissions standards. But we hear Volvo may introduce a new clean diesel at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March. That diesel engine could come to the U.S. next year as a 2011 XC60 model.
