Yes, from £21,500 for the base 1.4 Petrol Turbo 5 seat 2wd up to £35k for the absolute top of the range 190PS Desel Auto 4x4.
Spec for spec I’d guess £5 to £10k less than the DS.

Had high hopes for the new XC60 but I don't like the side profile at all. The long bonnet and cab back design make it look more like a V60 estate than an SUV.
