The all-new 2017 Volvo XC60 has been spied in heavy camouflage this week, making its way through the streets of Amsterdam.

The new 2017 XC60 has been a long time coming, with the current model first revealed as a concept in 2007 before entering production in 2008. The mid-sized SUV benefited from a facelift in 2014 to tide it over.

As expected, the XC60 will adopt styling elements from the larger XC90 SUV and the new S90/V90 sedan and wagon twins, with Volvo's familiar pillar-length tail lights and new 'Thor's Hammer' LED lighting at the front clearly carrying over.

The recent V40.1 concept, confirmed as a preview of the new upcoming XC40 compact SUV, will likely also share a number of styling characteristics with the larger new XC60.

But, while the XC40 will ride on the new Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), the new XC60 will be underpinned by the bigger and more generically named Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) utilised by the XC90, S90 and V90.
