Question:

Hi, can you confirm if the Thule Archway 3 bike carrier TH9010XT fits a VOLVO XC60 2017 model?

While there is an outstanding trunk-mounted 3-bike rack that fits your 2017 Volvo XC60, the Thule Archway is not a fit. Instead, I highly recommend the Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633.

I confirmed with Yakima that this rack does fit your '17 Volvo XC60, and the accompanying photo is from Yakima and is of the rack on this vehicle. The FullBack is great because it has anti-sway cradles which work together with ratcheting straps to secure your bikes at three different points on the rack, which keeps them steady.

The FullBack is also the best rack to keep your bikes safely in your possession. It has a cable lock which secures your bikes to the rack as well as a steel-reinforced strap that stores inside your hatch to help keep the FullBack safely on the back of your car. I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well of the Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633.

Additionally, please note that when using any hanging rack like the FullBack you'll need Bike Frame Adapter Bar # Y02531 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
