Volvo’s little SUV arrives without significant changes for 2013. There are two 6-cylinder inline engines available: a 240-hp 3.2L and a 300-hp 3.0L turbo. The high-performance R-Design pushes the engine’s limits to 325 horsepower. All trims come with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the versions armed with the 3.0L are equipped with allwheel drive.
