I have just passed my 1-year mark on mine. I love it. I was just commenting today on the things that you never knew you needed until you have them. Heated (and cooled) seats, heated steering wheel, massage seats are all pretty divine. The HUD that's integrated with the navi. Just amazing.
HUD sounds interesting. I like the separate navigation screen on my current XC70, not sure about (a) the location of the screen lower down (b) combining other functions on the screen. I know there are some buttons, but most routine functions should be one click at barely a glance. I mostly drive on fast windy roads, or in traffic, it's not safe to fiddle with these multifunction screens. Also being tall, when I sit in an V60/V90 the screen is at the limit of my extended arm, added difficulty in using a touch screen. I wish these cabins had no shiny/silver surfaces, there is simply too much bling going on. I guess they are trying to sell into a variety of markets.
I know this is late but at the time of this video, volvo hadnt done the software update to add in inductive smart phone charging for iPhone12+. Also, in regards to the navigation map being blocked off by the seat adjustment, you can add your nav to the driver display so it show in two places. It'll be located between your tachometer and your speedometer
Put in the new extended-range PHEV drivetrain, add back physical buttons/dials for climate & drive-mode controls, and add in many more features to the instrument panel, and you have the perfect car
If anyone thinks the newer models are too expensive, I say go for a 2015-2018 model. Had one since 2019 and been all over the country with it. Sadly, somebody crashed into it and totaled it recently, but i plan on getting another one from 2015-2018.
Very late to the video release here, but anyone complaining about the climate control in the screen hasn't lived with the car. It is VERY intuitive and quick to respond. The climate works well enough that I very rarely ever change it. I've had both a 21 V60 PE, and a 22 S60.
Trying to decide between Volvo V60 or Audi A4 Allroad. I am leaning towards Audi for nicer engine, ride and entertainment. I dislike have to use touch screen for heating /cooling.
I think both this and the V90 the best looking Volvos, but as an 2004 V70 I really, really miss the flat back. Maybe someday Volvo will bring back their boxy designs. I also really HATE the digital speedometer, it looks cheaper to me...alas I may be living in the past.
Here in Germany they offer 197 HP diesel and 250hp petrol engine i can’t read any experience tips from customers I need a reliable car for daily drive but I don’t drive much
Im not familiar with Volvo but interested in wagon for makeshift camping conversion to sleep on roadtrips. Confused in diff V90 vs V60 and XC 90 and XC 60? For cargo space in back, what is length, width, and height with 2nd row seats down? One thing Id definitely prefer is higher cargo space- looks like average sized person would bump their heads if using as bed, or if as hauling things like just couple stacked boxes it would block back window since not very high.. I dont need 3rd row for passengers but if its more room for cargo then yes. Trying to decide if want XC 60 bc cargo area looks higher and better visibility? Is there a longer V90 version that's not as " squatty" in cargo area? I also thought I saw in one review one model had a little built in " trunk" under the third row, very handy as really miss having trunk when choosing wagon/suv over sedan.
These things are as scarce as hens teeth to find at a dealer- just crossovers as far as the eye can see. I have yet to see anyone put one of these off-road against a Subaru Outback. I know the Volvo marketing guys do not want to see that, but it is the same market segment- AWD lifted wagons.
VOLVO wagons.....nothing compares. never known a vehicle that runs on down the road with foot of the gas as well as this does....a slight incline and it just rolls on in near silence.......If I could only get my multi position electric seat in a comfort position that I feel in my butt, that true place you feel that makes you want to drive forever.... I'd be over the moon.....just can't find the position...it has become an adjustment process in progress...04 XC70
Gorgeous and classy car, those that do not like it can continue to buy their own preferences. Which contributes to the unique ownership of this nice car.
You should get a small LED light. It's way to dark were you sit inside the car and talk.Would be an easy upgrade on the video quality. The normal V60 has an even better on the road and looks better without the black trim.
I like the black trim, but that's down to personal taste of course, but if you don't like certain elements of any car then buy the other versions,though it would've been nice if Volvo could offer the CC with or without the black trim !
in italy, i ordered a v60 in december 2021, it was supposed to arrive in june 2022 but they postponed delivery from time to time. a shame. and volvo italia gave no explanation other than to speak of a pandemic and a war in progress ... I do not know that Italy is at war with anyone. when they told me I had to wait another three months and there was no certainty about the timing, I canceled the contract .... very bad experience with this brand.
Do not act like you was living on the moon. From EU Citizen prespective (not Italy) - War affects everything. Italy rely on russian gas for example as well as all other countries and factories located there. Drivetrains for all volvos are made mainly in Poland in GKN so when they have problem with supplies of anything, production of volvo cars stop. There are also thousands supply chains broken due to china zero covid policy. You cannot imagine how difficult is to manage that these days.
@@spk8989pl nonsense. it is a volvo policy which in the difficulties you mention has certainly favored the production/delivery of suvs (XC models) instead of station wagon models. to customer requests there was total mystification by volvo. After abandoning this car I bought a BMW 3 Touring and they will deliver me a new car next month less than four months after ordering. other category other treatment. don't buy volvo.
According to the price, why they not an ARB , & AME electronic Air lifted, from the ground to up (1),(2),(3), even more Air lifted!. Because It's still, so hight when it comes to the price, to pricey, to expensiveness, up graded put a three rows sits, make it varieties, full hybrids, alf hybrid, full electric , alf electric & engine, Solar's system probably available, & so one!. Good luck!..
ofcourse is the best design ... and audi a 6 allroud is e very gud design and have a very gud and powerful engine ... yes is biger than this volvo but volvo v 60 it suhd have a litle biger and beter engine ,,, not 3 litre but more den 2 litre ... they use 2 litre engine iven for v 90 ... not gud ....
Reasons why my 2001 S60 is better 1. It doesn’t miss a cylinder 2. M56 3. 250Hk and 410Nm which should be enough keep up with the newer V60/S60 T5 as my S60 is lighter. 4. My S60 doesn’t stop going at a pathetic 180Km/h limit, it will go up to 250Km/h 5. Fiscal buttons and controls 6. Pop pop UP AND DOWN....navigation uint 7. A real hand brake 8. A traction control system which is able to be turned off 9. It didn’t cost an arm and leg 10. The analog gauge cluster, which won’t age as badly as a screen. 11. Did a mention it has 1, 2, 3, 4.....5 CYLINDERS!
Except here in sweden normal people often camt afford it because of our fuel taxes, emission taxes and car tax because of emission tax. A new diesel motor is so much cheaper to own. Edit: with a new car i mean 2016 models. Newer than thar and we go bankrupt over the "New Car" tax..
@@jontetomte9271 bullsh*t, diesels are penalised in the yearly "Fordonsskatt", the fuel it self is also taxed more (moms) since Diesel is cheaper to produce but still cost more per liter to buy than 95 octane. The newer Diesel are still more fuel efficient in general, but on the other hand depreciation, which also is a thing to consider really hurts newer cars. Loan payments are also a cost to consider with newer car, since pretty much no Swed can afford to buy a newer car with out a bank loan. Then there is the insurance cost is probably higher for the newer car which is worth more.
I have a 2020, same car. It will do 130 mph. I know the 2021s only go 111. Oh well. My traction can be turned off completely in sport/ trac off on the display for playing in the snow. Also the Bowers&Wilkins audio is amazing. Perfect car for me.
@@johngaudet6316 you can't turn the DSTC off completely only the "STC part" can be turned off which slightly reducing the interferences of DSTC. Basically you can turn off traction control and make the "dynamic" stability control less aggressive, but throw it hard enough side ways and the car will do everything in it's power to straighten back up, pull the belts and in some cases turn the traction back on and make the stability control aggressive again. Upon kicking you out of sport mode, you might even find yourself temporally locked out of sport mode.
@@klaspeppar5619 then I might be lucky I bought the last of the 5 cylinders, a 2016 model, and I just went doing some circles on a snowy parking lot a few days ago. Electronics can be turned off and even with automatic gear changes in Sport Mode it is a lot of fun. Manual changing is better, though. I live in Germany, and the 180 km/h limit is a big turn off, I was actually thinking about buying a new one in a year or two, since my warranty on this one will expire in 7 months
Best looking Volvo and great interior but for me that is where it ends. The new Volvo 4 cylinder engines are under powered for the 4K lbs plus vehicles and all their wagons V90/V60 variants have significantly less space than their predecessors which goes against why we buy wagons. Then we'll talk price and this vehicle is a no go for me.
I have the V60 Cross Country, and yes, the interior is smaller than any similar sized competition. HOWEVER, this is because of safety and the occupants capsule which is way safer than anything similar, exactly because it's shaped around safety. Let me tell you this as well: getting in and out of the back seat is terrible, because the B-pillar is also fat, and not only that, has triangles of steel in the corners for extra safety. Exactly why I bought it, for safety, for my family and to have no worries about what happens in case of an accident. The driver assistants are great as well for that purpose. If that's what interests you, there is no competition. The only brand that promises to reach for 0 dead in the immediate future

A budget alternative to the new V60CC is a P3 XC70 (2008-2016), which has all similar dimensions and is also equipped with many bells and whistles.
Absolutely amazing looking car ! This version ,with this exterior white color and that interior it’s stunning !
I love wagons. Wagons FTW. Too bad Americans don’t love them.
I love wagons. Volvo wagons in particular. Lots of utility and its different. I refuse to get a suv of any kind.
Put in the new extended-range PHEV drivetrain, add back physical buttons/dials for climate & drive-mode controls, and add in many more features to the instrument panel, and you have the perfect car

Americans love the shape they just don’t realise they do. An SUV is just a heavy high and fat station wagon.

I had a 96 Roadmaster wagon, and I'm getting a 2002 V70 wagon. I 100% would take a wagon compared to an SUV any day
Would love one of these, not too big and not too small, very capable car and does things so well, a great all rounder for any family.

Sounds like if I had $50+ grand that would be my wife’s next vehicle 🚗👍👏
Happy wife happy life 👍
or lease for $400
Great review 👍 The Volvo V60 machine looks brilliant 🙂

Get the 2021 Honda Ridgeline 😍
Nice review !!
Nice review. Subscribed!
I love this car!
I want one such a nice car it would be a lot nicer if it had the 5 cylinder
All that chrome trim on the interior would set off my migraines on a sunny day. Otherwise this is pretty much what I'm looking for
Thank you for this video you just made me want it even more. I will definitely go get more info and a test drive soon.
Such a nice car👍
Back in my day, you drove a car, also, love my Volvo
These things are as scarce as hens teeth to find at a dealer- just crossovers as far as the eye can see.
I have yet to see anyone put one of these off-road against a Subaru Outback. I know the Volvo marketing guys do not want to see that, but it is the same market segment- AWD lifted wagons.
Just the kind of info I need, thanks
Why does no one cover rear legroom, etc?
Look at the UK reports on the V60, they mention leg room which is described as good
An awesome car and good for everything ! I love it !
VOLVO wagons.....nothing compares. never known a vehicle that runs on down the road with foot of the gas as well as this does....a slight incline and it just rolls on in near silence.......If I could only get my multi position electric seat in a comfort position that I feel in my butt, that true place you feel that makes you want to drive forever....

Nice car :-) try V90 T8 , 408 hp . Thats my car :-)
Car review without a dislike...wow
It’s beautiful!
I love wagon ❤❤❤❤
does the regular v60 come in AWD? if it does, I don't see any reason to get the CC over the regular v60. no one really needs that extra ride height
Unfortunately only wagons surviving are those cc versions
Ride height is nice to have.
Volvo 👌💪😍

@@tabletposte9164 my friend waited over 1 year for XC60 so theory that Volvo is pushing suvs instead of wagons is false
It is very cool.
Volvo limits all their cars to 180km/h, 112mph! No thank you… I love and drive in Germany, and even if I didn’t I’d want the choice!
Beautiful 😻
