HAHAHAHA Thomas you are such a conservative German but I love your reviews. The white colour is stunning on that car and like you said the blue is also nice. The 19" wheels are rather blend for me and would have the 21" wheels and just leave the car on comfort mode because its not really meant to be sporty like its competitors. However I do think there is too much black on the R-Design and the beige colour on the Inscription looks better and more inviting, I feel it shows the beautiful interior in a better light. GREAT review as always.
realistically Toyota RAV 4 will give you more comfort at the back seats that this Volvo and possibly other "premium cars"" The reason for that are simply adjustable rear seats in the Toyota...this is a real comfort feature. This cannot be replaced by any volvo design...no matter how beautiful is this.
The in-depth review we've been looking forward to.. The XC60.. An astounding car followed by a spectacular review by Thomas.. 👍😁 Couldn't ask for anything more..
So much detail...I abandoned my V60 Cross Country aspirations and ended up getting a XC60 Edition T4, 190 bhp petrol basic trim with a few extras...winter pack, tinted windows, parking camera, Apple car play and 19” alloys. Great channel!!! 👍🤓
I've never really liked leather in cars anyway. I'm so glad Thomas has raised these issues . This was one of the reasons I loved Autogefuhl , Top Reviews
Thomas always gives the best insight into the full details of every car he reviews. This was on my shortlist with the BMW X3 but won through! The X3 was too hard for my family. Just ordered my XC60 R Design with the B4 AWD drivetrain The only problem is that I have to wait 3 months for delivery now. Thanks again Thomas!
+Autogefuhl - As always Thomas, a really detailed video, many thanks indeed. I like the bright interior - nice. But steering wheel & carpets won't last long. 27:45 polite horn use. At 39:30 we never found out what that alarm was! They haven't tried to make it too sporty. Good. They've got their priorities right. I wouldn't trade comfort for handling on this type of car. Keep up the fantastic work Thomas and Team.
There You have it Guys, the Volvo XC60. What else? No other review needed in the premium SUV class :) That Denim Blue color, so elegant and sporty at the same time! Nice review Thomas, as always :)
I already have an XC60, but I enjoy seeing people's take on the car. Loved your review! I enjoy your conversational style and listened to the whole thing while I worked on the computer. You should consider doing audiobook narrator too, you've got the voice!
Great job in reviewing this car. I just bought the exact same car you’re reviewing and I love it, I just wish mine had a trailer hitch. This is the third XC60 I have owned, and I have always purchased them used about 2- 5 years old. Again you’re very good at car reviewing.
In the S90 T5 we have (petrol with 4 cilinders and 254hp) we are averaging about 7.5-8 liters/100 km in 16.000 km (75% highway, 15% main roads and 10% city). Fuel consuption in this engine depends a lot on how you drive it (usually we use Confort drive mode). 0-100 in 6.4s, by the way Nice video, as always ;)
Another great review, thanks. Ahah I liked it when you said "they get attacked by the seats" :) Seriously, german cars conception and engineering is great but these new gen volvos are just masterpieces of design in my opinion. exquisite !
Thomas thank you for the such an excellent review of the new XC60! I was already looking forward to my own test drive later this year when it comes to the dealership but your review has me anticipating even more! Great job!!
Great, thorough review, Thomas. Excellent comment about pricing. It's called country pricing, and automakers will charge what the market will bear. Your €80,000 price would be $120,000 in Canada. But the Inscription trim of the 2018 XC60 here, with a pile of options (diesel not available), would sell for about $80,000 after tax, or about €53,000. One small quibble with your review. You mentioned shifting gears to slow the car when going down hills. I learned years ago at driving school to never use the engine as a brake. That's what brakes are for. Take care, and keep up the excellent work!
thanks garey! woah that would be some price! Hm well engine brake is useful when you have a long long braking procedure ahead so the normal brakes wont overheat. You do both, engine brake and normal brakes at same time
Brilliant video, probably the best road test I've ever seen on RUclips ! so well done Thomas, I felt I was actually driving the car, and know the ins and outs without even sitting in one !! I love this car, wish I could afford one, even the Momentum would be great, as you have cloth seats centres which I prefer especially in winter, my wife hates the leather in winter on my Volvo V70 so cold, and roasting in summer !! Thomas can you please add a night driving segment when testing a car ? as this is so important for me and many others who wear glasses, I have heard that the led headlights are superb !! a great asset in winter !
Excellent highly detailed review Thomas, the best I've seen on this vehicle! I find this SPA XC60 aesthetically the best in class inside and out. Thank you Volvo for adhering closely to the XC Coupe Concept design cues! I love the sharp edged prominent rear "Swedish Hips" and lovely tail light design. Of course who doesn't love the Thor's Hammers? I would probably opt for the Bursting Blue or Fusion Red color, but the Denim Blue appears to be a nice color for the more conservative personalities who still want some flavor (just say no to tarmac cammo). As for interior, Volvo wisely borrowed much from the well received '14 concept cars with the lower dash trim lip and vertices air "blades" as example. Not much to complain about here except Volvo should have added more interior color choices for the R-Design, a bit more rear cargo behind the second row, and more redundant controls for key systems like AC vent speed and stereo channel selection. Our current XC60 is the 3.0lL turbo 6, so we would find the "growling" 4 cylinder less than satisfactory, less than premium. How would you compare the Volvo T6 Drive-e to the Mercedes GLC 43 or SQ5 V6 turbo? How would you compare the R-Design suspension comfort to those? I would not trust the autonomous driving at higher speeds, though in traffic it is fine; we use the previous generation Active Cruise Control and like it. I'm just completely against letting the car manage the steering direction also at speed. I don't trust the system to manage so many variable roads conditions, and I also feel it disengages the driver's attention from driving safely/defensively in case of system failure/glitch. I am all for emergency collision avoidance steering and brakes however. Overall, very nice execution Volvo! This XC60 should remain the top seller in class in Europe, and steal market share from Lexus in the US. Ciao!
Havent driven the R-Design suspension on that new model, gotta check it out. The Volvo engines are surely the weak point, thats why its good that they go in the electric direction. Thanks for your customer feedback!
Do you have any Autogfühl merchandise we can buy? I love your reviews, they are well made, calm & composed, full of detail and observations on feel and mood. I've used your comments on packages and equipement when I ordered my last car. I'd buy a Autogfühl t-shirt with "Animal skin" text on the front in a heartbeat!
Just gave you your 1,000th Like on this video - cool. :-) I love your content, thanks very much for all you do! Looking forward to watching this one; I agree that the new XC60 is the best-looking SUV out there at the moment.
I am not an SUV customer, I don't get the point, having that said, an Alfa Stelvio, Jaguar F-Pace or an XC60 II could change my mind. I like the D5 with the power pulse solution that makes the engine punchy and removes the turbo lag - had to test it myself to believe it. I appreciate the two rubber lips/seals under the doors, the drive mode selector with that crystal pattern (dynamic is quite ok) quite well noise insulation (thicker foil specs in the windshield and reshaped door mirrors)... Nice touch materials, nice place to be and nice to look at on the road too. 426hp version from Polestar coming - wow! Wait, I don't really care lol Great review Thomas, thank you very much indeed.
Great video with plenty of commentary, as with past reviews. Would it be possible to add a segment to discuss and film the interior and exterior lighting of vehicles in future reviews, such as by taking it into a dark parking lot?
Volvo was competent to pack all of the hight tech in the very minimalistic style. Kudos for them! BMW and the others are so distracting with over complex interior design and control features, tons of buttons, so many lights . Yes, it looks so technical but actually is so confusing and not a modern approach to deliver smooth and reliable car control ! German are about pseudo luxury. Volvo is clear winner in this category.
Tomas: you don't need to grab the wheel, when the little orange warning comes up. Just give it a little love tap and it goes away. You have to touch the wheel every 15 seconds.
hi Thomas,excellent review.one small suggestion from my side is that it would be great if you also comment on how comfortable the middle seat is,because 5 seaters are sometimes really a 4 seater.if one has 4 adults and a baby,the car becomes useless.
What a great car and always great review Thomas! Ps I hope to compare the T8 version of the xc60 in a small video and if it is better than the xc90 with 200 kilos less than the big one...
Nice review again, very useful in helping to shortlist my next car. I can't believe I'm liking a Volvo more than any of its German competitors, but I do! I test drove an Inscription T5 last weekend and it ticked a lot of boxes for a luxury family SUV. It's not the sportiest drive ever, mainly due to the super light lifeless steering, but it doesn't scrape the door mirrors when cornering, it is fast when you need it to be (the T8 should be really fast) and, most importantly for a family SUV, spacious and comfortable. It looks great too and a very nice relaxing place to be, whether on the open road or stuck in a traffic jam. A breath of fresh air compared to the generic German bland-mobiles. I'm not brave enough to go for a light interior though, mine will be black!
Unfortunately in the UK the T8 is only available in the top level trims. So it's either R-Design Pro or Inscription Pro. As I prefer the more open seats in the Inscription, it will have to be leather I'm afraid. At least they are easy to wipe clean with the kids mess! I would have been more than happy with a high quality synthetic leather or cloth, but the luxury market still appears to require genuine leather at this price point. Maybe this will change in time.
I like compact cars too, but our current Nissan Qashqai family car is now too small for our growing needs. Last time we went on a longer trip we were all literally surrounded by luggage with the boot jammed full. So our next family car needs to be XC60 sized as a minimum. Still considering the XC90, but that would be overkill for much of my daily driving.
+Peter Harrison - Interesting info - after a compact Qashqai, a 7-seat Santa Fe or Kodiaq may give more family room. Or the expensive Disco Sport. You want offroad? A Land Cruiser 7-seat? XC60 is nice, but every UK version has leather only.
49:12 according to my dealership the XC60 doesn’t come with the automatic cover like the V90. It goes up when you open the trunk but you ave to move it down again manually.
It makes me smile when a car of this size is described as a "compact SUV"!! I compared one of these to a VW Passat Estate but on a top spec version XC60 the price became way too much but I did like the quirkiness of the central console, and when my old boss told me what he paid for a set of tires, that was me out.
I forgot to add the salesman at our local Volvo dealer was very unhelpful considering I was looking at a £35k+ car, and the options on certain wheels were limited, for example I detest black wheels but that's all I was told I could have on the R-design oh and I could only choose blue, white or black/grey on the R-line models, with horrible black interiors. I would have to drop to the Inscription model to be able to get the lighter interiors and I didn't want 22" wheels or a white steering wheel. The salesman didn't do anything to try and accommodate close to the spec I wanted, so I walked.
That light interior is too prone to staining, for instance @ 7:45 notice the black scuff mark! It's a Volvo so I like it, just not that light colored interior.
you could also turn this argument around, like "let vegans eat meat because the cow is killed for the hide anyway" - u see that this argument is made up by the meat eating industry to make you feel good about your consumption. It doesnt matter why someone is killed, the life itself is what matters.
While I respect your opinion, it's a mistake to confuse human life with animal life. It's not correct to say "someone" is killed when referring to an animal.
Once again..Nice review "Let's go" Thomas! If I had to pick any Volvo car it would be this XC60 model. I too do not "trust" any car to drive itself. I realize the fact that this is were the industry is heading but when SHTF...Do "I" sue the manufacture for the accident or do I take the full responsibility for "MY" driving?
You said couple times if you want more head room get without panoramic sunroof. I watch other 2018 xc60 RUclips videos and some say panoramic sunroof is standard equipment in all trim levels. So can you get a 2018 xc60 without panoramic sunroof ? Maybe different in USA or overseas?
It is a beautiful car. Mine in in the deep red. But i think this is the sharpest color. .. I wish Volvo would bring back the British Racing green. I also prefer the interior styling of the previous years with the floating console and the non-touchscreen. I like buttons and knobs.
That's a great review Thomas. I personally would put he XC90 against F-Pace & Audi Q7 Am I wrong ? I'm shocked it doesn't have the Ad-Blue ? Still a great Volvo .
Really attractive distinctive Volvo exterior. Interior is absolutely gorgeous and inspires a very organic feel. It's all class, really simple and intuitive. Pity about the petrol engines guzzling more fuel.. probably the reason Volvo is changing tact and moving into electric/hybrid mode ( well mostly ) in the near future. A lot of interesting stuff in your review there Thomas.
I was on the verge of buying a V90, but this new Volvo interior - although beautiful - is too much "old man's car" for my taste. Also, during the test drive, I found the touch screen a bit distracting compared to the rotary dials in other brands. Unfortunately, the new Audi A8 no longer has the rotary dial, so it seems Audi is taking the Volvo route when it comes to touch screens. Guess Mercedes and BMW will follow too at some point. Why not just put a place holder for an ipad and allow users to plug in their own tablet :-)

It is nice to see Volvo doing well. great review as always, greetings from Buffalo!
I bought the 2018 XC90 All Wheel Drive. Love my new car. Most comfortable SUV I’ve ever driven with lots of power😊
+Autogefuhl - As always Thomas, a really detailed video, many thanks indeed. I like the bright interior - nice. But steering wheel & carpets won't last long. 27:45 polite horn use.

It looks great too and a very nice relaxing place to be, whether on the open road or stuck in a traffic jam. A breath of fresh air compared to the generic German bland-mobiles. I'm not brave enough to go for a light interior though, mine will be black!
+Peter Harrison thanks for the feedback! Remember not to pick the leather seats
+Peter Harrison - agree about stylish, spacious and relaxing. Nice choice. (I think I prefer something more compact & less expensive!).
Unfortunately in the UK the T8 is only available in the top level trims. So it's either R-Design Pro or Inscription Pro. As I prefer the more open seats in the Inscription, it will have to be leather I'm afraid. At least they are easy to wipe clean with the kids mess! I would have been more than happy with a high quality synthetic leather or cloth, but the luxury market still appears to require genuine leather at this price point. Maybe this will change in time.
I like compact cars too, but our current Nissan Qashqai family car is now too small for our growing needs. Last time we went on a longer trip we were all literally surrounded by luggage with the boot jammed full. So our next family car needs to be XC60 sized as a minimum. Still considering the XC90, but that would be overkill for much of my daily driving.
+Peter Harrison - Interesting info - after a compact Qashqai, a 7-seat Santa Fe or Kodiaq may give more family room. Or the expensive Disco Sport. You want offroad? A Land Cruiser 7-seat? XC60 is nice, but every UK version has leather only.
49:12 according to my dealership the XC60 doesn’t come with the automatic cover like the V90. It goes up when you open the trunk but you ave to move it down again manually.
awww, really too bad !

Excelente as always!!
great to have you with us!
Best looking car in this segment.
It makes me smile when a car of this size is described as a "compact SUV"!! I compared one of these to a VW Passat Estate but on a top spec version XC60 the price became way too much but I did like the quirkiness of the central console, and when my old boss told me what he paid for a set of tires, that was me out.
I forgot to add the salesman at our local Volvo dealer was very unhelpful considering I was looking at a £35k+ car, and the options on certain wheels were limited, for example I detest black wheels but that's all I was told I could have on the R-design oh and I could only choose blue, white or black/grey on the R-line models, with horrible black interiors. I would have to drop to the Inscription model to be able to get the lighter interiors and I didn't want 22" wheels or a white steering wheel. The salesman didn't do anything to try and accommodate close to the spec I wanted, so I walked.
That light interior is too prone to staining, for instance @ 7:45 notice the black scuff mark! It's a Volvo so I like it, just not that light colored interior.
Very good job! Congratulation
Great review guys! Could you consider reviewing a Toyota Auris in the near future?
Because of Thomas, I made a conscious decision to avoid animal skin products on my new car--thanks for changing my mind on animal skin "leather".
great to have you caring!
Pretty hard to make the hamburgers and steaks w/o using the hide as well.
you could also turn this argument around, like "let vegans eat meat because the cow is killed for the hide anyway" - u see that this argument is made up by the meat eating industry to make you feel good about your consumption. It doesnt matter why someone is killed, the life itself is what matters.
While I respect your opinion, it's a mistake to confuse human life with animal life. It's not correct to say "someone" is killed when referring to an animal.
Same here, my Passat R-line has synthetic leather and race fabric
Nice new look for xc60 :)
I prefer the exterior of the R-Design, but the interior of the Inscription.
Once again..Nice review "Let's go" Thomas! If I had to pick any Volvo car it would be this XC60 model. I too do not "trust" any car to drive itself. I realize the fact that this is were the industry is heading but when SHTF...Do "I" sue the manufacture for the accident or do I take the full responsibility for "MY" driving?
thanks pal !
You said couple times if you want more head room get without panoramic sunroof. I watch other 2018 xc60 RUclips videos and some say panoramic sunroof is standard equipment in all trim levels. So can you get a 2018 xc60 without panoramic sunroof ? Maybe different in USA or overseas?
It is a beautiful car. Mine in in the deep red. But i think this is the sharpest color. .. I wish Volvo would bring back the British Racing green. I also prefer the interior styling of the previous years with the floating console and the non-touchscreen. I like buttons and knobs.
When can we have your XC60 T8 review? Tank you and congrats for Autogefuhl excelent job!
Will do!
That's a great review Thomas. I personally would put he XC90 against F-Pace & Audi Q7 Am I wrong ? I'm shocked it doesn't have the Ad-Blue ? Still a great Volvo .
Q7 and XC90 are same size yeah, XC60 is vs Q5, F-PACE is still leaning towards those compacts too
Great review, I love it, now I assume I know enough before buy :)
thanks piotr! =)
Really attractive distinctive Volvo exterior. Interior is absolutely gorgeous and inspires a very organic feel. It's all class, really simple and intuitive. Pity about the petrol engines guzzling more fuel.. probably the reason Volvo is changing tact and moving into electric/hybrid mode ( well mostly ) in the near future.
A lot of interesting stuff in your review there Thomas.
thanks keep joining us!
I was on the verge of buying a V90, but this new Volvo interior - although beautiful - is too much "old man's car" for my taste. Also, during the test drive, I found the touch screen a bit distracting compared to the rotary dials in other brands. Unfortunately, the new Audi A8 no longer has the rotary dial, so it seems Audi is taking the Volvo route when it comes to touch screens. Guess Mercedes and BMW will follow too at some point. Why not just put a place holder for an ipad and allow users to plug in their own tablet :-)
best looking SUV!
Would like to see a full review on Mercedes S63 AMG 2017 model
cheers
