    The XC90 is nearly 10 years old, but no one would ever know. XC60 is only a couple years younger but no one would ever know. They age so well.

    A very sumptuous and plush car to drive for sure. I own the 2022 Volvo XC90 and it has performed flawlessly ever since I purchased it. Volvo always manufactures refined and powerful fuel-efficient vehicles.

    I had a 2021 XC60 T5 R design with the 21” wheels. I now have a 2023 B6 Ultimate dark with the 22” wheels and air suspension. The larger wheels take away from the ride potential but it’s still impressive. It makes every other car feel like a wooden wagon. The seats are phenomenal on long trips. I surprisingly liked the older Volvo SENSUS on my 21’ but the google nav can’t be beat. My 2023 is thunder gray with the dark trim and I replaced all badging on the back with gloss black. I’ve never had more positive comments from strangers on any vehicle I’ve owned. I’ve loved both of my Volvos. These videos you guys do have made me appreciate the steering 😂 I wish it could be alittle heavier at speed but at low speed it’s phenomenal. I hope to see a refresh for 60/90 before my lease comes due in 2026. Keep up the great work! I’ve watched every Volvo video end to end. IYKYK all day long with these cars!!!

    Aw man, this reminded me of the good ole DM reviews. Pushing 80k for this is a little bit weird but the crystal shifter makes it worth it. Ironic how Charlie came back to Michigan to visit immediately after driving an Elantra N and IONIQ 5 N...

    Nobody ever mentions this. But, Volvos have adjustable steering wheel drive settings. You can adjust the “feel” of the steering wheel to your liking through the “car settings” in the center console. You can choose from light upward to stiff steering mode.
    Other never mentioned gems are the glove box cooling feature (it keeps my water bottle nice and cool during long summer drives) and the laptop/tablet storage on each side, below the rear seat.

    I am on my third Volvo. All of them have been spectacular roadtrip cars. They've all been basically the same car lol, but actually have had different seats. 21 V60 Polestar Engineered had the R-Design seats. 22 S60 had the base model seats. 24 V60 Cross Country has the Ultimate seats. All 3 are great for long periods without making you feel tired or fatigued.

    Yay. The dynamic duo are back!
    I have to disagree w your love of current Volvos. Just had a s60 b5 rental and it was the worse powertrain ever. There was always a dangerously long lag w the initial acceleration befor an uncontrollable surge of power. Maybe it was an issue w my particular rental. I swapped it for an A4 and the power train is much better.
    I grew up w Volvos and currently a polestar owner so I was disappointed how much I didn’t like the s60.

      It was great to be back with Charlie for this one! & Interesting to hear about the B5! I’d like to drive one now to compare to the T8 (it’s been a while since I have). I’ll say, throttle response certainly isn’t ~instant~ in any Volvo. The added response from the phev definitely helps though.

    I just bought my 3rd one. The biggest difference between my 2019 and my new one is. The difference is the seats are firmer and the suspension is definitely firmer than my 2019. Of course the information system is different. Juries out on that so far I’d like it and then sometimes they don’t like it. My other choices were the genesis, which is really sharp looking, but I read so much problems in the forms about their differential so that kind of threw that one out the window. The other one was Mercedes GLC, which really is nice but seems to have a lot of plastic for 50 some thousand dollars starting price. Is anything wrong with Mercedes? I have a convertible. But I stuck with the true blue never did me wrong Volvo. The only car that I would like to have that I’ve had in the past is a SAAB freaking general motors ruined that.

    Left lane- for speed.
    I guess Us is different...the left lane is for chill , holding the traffic for no goddamn reason.
    Overall is a nice lookin car...but if I had to choose between Volvo or Genesis...I'll pick Lexus Rx350 2022 or Gx 450 2023.

      Just went to the Volvo dealer today looking for a XC60 T8.
      What a disappointment the Pilot seat are.
      the fact that the XC60 is an older model works on its advantage for me, by now all the failure should have been taken care of.
      As far as realizability goes, well Lexus is just playing the same game as the others, dont have too much faith on them any more.
      On the other side of the coin, I might be mistaken but the one that has to last forever is me, cars we can always replace, there aint no extended warranty on this getting older body of mine.

    I had in my earlier car Bose with Subwofer and had much better base as i listen much techno tunes ;)
    All version got wireless loading for android but for Apple yes one need wire connection.......
    Next year as i heard Pure Electric on of EX60 would be awesome to get or atleast try and thereafter decide as "Humpty Dumpty"

    Bought an XC60 T8recharge
    Hideous car. Dealer told me I’d get 65-70mpg can’t get 35mpg
    These cars are terrible on fuel consumption
    If you think you’re doing your bit for the planet by buying a plug in hybrid think again!!!!
    Better off with a good old petrol V8
    Buy a Range Rover instead of one of these pieces of garbage 👎👎👎👎👎👎

    Why his CarPlay yet it would be nice to have wireless CarPlay. A lot of cars are doing away with the wireless chargers because the phones get too hot. As far as wireless CarPlay, you can buy a dongle. I have one in another car works fine. But since the information system is basically nothing more than a Google phone in your dash. With all the apps, you really don’t even need to have CarPlay.
