Probably the most useful and comprehensive auto reviews. He often answers the types of questions a potential buyer will have, with lots of driving time. Pleasant accent too! Great job.
Great car. My dad is buying a V60 CC d4 awd. Pebble grey with blond city weave interior. Testdrove it today and it offers soo good comfort. Not too expensive in sweden, especially considering it has some good prices on the packages. 45k euro with climatepack, towhitch , electice tailgate, intellisafe assist with all the safetech , DAB radio and wintertyres etc. And now this car is a 6month old demo with only 7000km and the price is 36k. Good deal right
I just got a 2020 V60 CC, and I LOVE IT!! Nice Video, and very pretty in red. I believe that video is a 2019 since it has the electric back seat button which they don’t have in the 2020. I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE my Volvo CC. I just traded my Audi A5 Convertible which I loved, and I can say this is the closest in SUV type car, that drove like a sport sedan and not a bulky SUV. If you want the best of both worlds this is your answer. I never thought of myself as a wagon person at all, but this baby is not your grandma’s wagon. And the interior, I cannot tell you how luxurious and comfortable it is!! I also love the heads up display and the advance package which includes the adaptive cruise control and pilot assist. It’s funny because my sister was just looking at the interior rear space, and she said “yeah but I think my Land Rover (Discovery) is bigger in the back I said you think let’s measure. And when we went from my car to hers, we couldn’t believe how much bigger mine was. We didn’t have a measuring tape, but we used the box that we had. After I sat and drove this baby, no other car/SUV could measure, and I had to have her!! You wont regret it if you want the feel of a sports sedan, with the luxury of a luxurious car, and the utility and space of an SUV, then this is your BABY!
Bravo to my fellow camera person. Nice work! Well thought out transitions, and I particularly liked that punch in on the front headlight at the beginning. Ok, kudos to the editor making that happen! ;) Thomas rocks as always! This is a very cool Volvo. I'd say it's the best Volvo yet!
I think you nailed the reason for Volvo's high fuel consumption. It is because of the heaviness of volvo cars. I cannot complain so much about it since it is done for safety reasons. The cars are semi-tanks.
Thomas, great review, as always! I like how you do things differently from lots of other reviewers. I particularly like your test drives, with cameras showing out side as well as the instrument panels. I also liked seeing the measurements that you did in this review for the cargo area. You're definitely in the top three of all car reviewers in the English language, in my opinion!
Great review Thomas 😁 One small detail I would like to see in your reviews is the boot/startup time in seconds for the infotainment from ignition on to FILLY functional....some take a really long time! Thanks 👍
Most car brands' computer screens take a while. They need to find a way to put the computer to sleep, so that they come up almost immediately -- instead of turning them off and having to boot them up from cold off... that is the problem -- bad design in turning them off totally. People don't turn off their smartphones usually; they put them to sleep, so that they come up immediately when needed.
cba tiau They have to be careful of battery drain though. Park in an airport car park for three weeks and it’s running the immobiliser and the infotainment on a cold night you might struggle to start it again on an older battery
ca m My ten year old vw system already does this. It doesn’t solve the problem. Ironically I guess when we all go electric and have things plugged in all night it could stay in sleep mode !
Something like this makes so much more sense for the vast majority of SUV / crossover buyers. Unless you need a Wrangler, Land Rover or Jimny type proper off-roader, this would be perfect. I’d like to know what the reason is for not including PHEV options for the cross country though. Very disappointing.
Chris Till I’m sure they did a cost/benefit analysis and realised they couldn’t turn a profit overall as a corp if there was too much hybrid demand and not enough cheap 4 cylinder ICE demand.
Love the interior/exterior colour combination of this model. You did give me some anxiety as it looked like you stopped in the middle of a foggy road when standing outside the car.
Great (misty) filming! Cool interior. Shame about low headroom & rear room - hence why some buy a SUV perhaps? Also like '4 o'clock in the morning'. Like the focus on comfort. Looking at the configurator, without specifying lots and lots of pricey extras, equipment is sparse. I like the City Weave (no extra cost in UK on CC - shock). BLIS is an extra on all V60's - why? Excellent Driving Part, commentary, and very good driving. Thomas, this video is nearly as good as your Feb 3, 2016 "Tiguan in the snow video"! Many thanks Thomas and Michel.
Thank you again Thomas for this wonderful car presentation, very rich in information thanks to this video, I had the impression to have participated with you, you have very well presented the exterior details and everything about the car, Great job also from the cameraman
I love to buy a Volvo but inDenmark its crazy price starting price is 492450dkk its about 66000 euro for a basic model the r line is 774450 dkk its about 103000 euro !!! Having a car in Denmark is luxury !!!
Thomas, excellent video review, as usual! You give us very precise analysis and respected personal impression of these vehicles. This is the most beautiful, maybe even sexy, estate available IMO. This is the closest Volvo has come to a production version of their amazing 2014 Estate Concept (Shooting Brake). I prefer the extra room my V90’s provide for my family and dog, but if I did not need this space, I would opt for this V60 without a second thought. Versus the competition, the Volvo is the safest, most survivable in a collision (RUclips IIHS Small Front Overlap); this is a priority for me since having a family. In the US, option for option, Volvo’s are more affordable, and always with sizable dealer and corporate discounts. To be honest, I love Audi and Mercedes cars (have had numerous - wife wants a Q8 bad), but there’s something special, unique, about Volvo in my country; kind of like Audi was back in the 1990’s.
Nice car , good interior but too expensive at this price. Volvo is asking too much for their cars,at the same pricr I would get a German competitor instead. Good review Thomas , get out of the cold and warm yourself up man, cheers !!!!!
Yes Volvo is more premium than they where in the past. But from my experience the standart models are more complete than the German competitors. And Volvo still has better seats.
@@Runclimblift Why? Because as an engineer I monitor the engine health and don't want to stress the engine before it has warmed up. I've had issues with the cooling system on at least 3 of my previous cars what I have identified through monitoring the water temperature.
@@Runclimblift When I asked at a dealer they said there was no temperature gauge by design and no way to display engine temperature on the computer screen thing on the dashboard. I've not had the privilege of getting a key and starting the engine to find out. On some Renault mode;ls there is no temperature gauge but a blue water temperature light that comes on when the engine is cold and goes out when it reaches operating temperature. That's better than no gauge, but still won't be good enough to warn you if the thermostat is sticking or playing up. A water temperature gauge is also great for warning you about airlocks if you do your own coolant change and don't quite get it right.....
Great review of a nice car. Having traveled to Germany a lot in the last few years for business, I appreciate your calm and thorough style. I understand this CC model will come to USA but with a starting price just over 40k US. I know pricing is higher in Europe in general but I'm guessing maybe they will reduce some of the bells and whistles in the base model here. This is fine for me, making the price more reasonable. Our US market doesn't have many options with all wheel drive in this design style outside of VW Golf Alltrack, Subaru Outback and Buick Tour X (same as Opel Insignia estate awd). The Passat Alltrack is not sold here. The luxury aspect is not important to me but the size of the V60 and its driving dynamics may be just right compared to the available mix. Am I willing to pay up for it is the question.
I am happy with my 2012 pre Geely xc70 CC. Just hit 100,000 miles today and barely any issues besides routine replacements, a compressor and new battery replacement. But that is a smooth I6 engine and these new ones have electronic gadgetry, Chinese OEM parts and charged 4 cyl engines . Will be higher costs to maintain for sure. Better to lease future Volvos like their German competition.
I wish you were completely right, but unfortunately the car is only Finished in Sweden. So many of the parts, the the European parts, are actually made in China.
djchristian82 another dirty manufacturing secret. Most European car parts, Italian shoe soles, Swiss watch components and electronic parts in luxury apppliances also made in China. The desire to keep increasing profits compels corporate decision makers and asset owners to do so.
djchristian82 I wish you were completely right, but unfortunately the car is only Finished in Sweden. So many of the parts, the the European parts, are actually made in China.
I wish you were completely right. As others have said, MANY (most?) manufacturers use components sourced from many places, including China. You are talking about something that no longer exists. Also, being made in China is not an automatic assumption of poor quality; that's prejudicial thinking. Like everything manufactured by humans, quality control makes all the difference. I have a Panasonic Chinese-made camera that could hardly be more precise. I had a German car that was a quality mess. Volvo, as an auto brand, tends to be closer to the bottom in recent quality rankings. Asian brands, with some Chinese components, tend to be closer to the top. So, I'm still not understanding your point?
Really don't like that sales modes. I prefer to own the car and in my experience, if you keep the car many years, there is no so many maintenance and tyres to compensate high cost of monthly fee.
How do you judge door closing sound? Where is the benchmark in this segment? Mind you one can recognise shit sound in dacia or lower segment but here???
I'm interested in buying one of these and has got an offer from the dealer. A few strange things: If you (as i do) want adjustable thigh-support you have to add leather seats and 4-way adjustable lumbar support. Adds like 1500$€. I wan't flappy paddles. Not possible. Only available in R-design trim *facepalm*. Oh, and by the way, when I'm out playing in the snow with my XC60 2019 with traction control i sport-mode, seat belts never tightens up... Maybe the car realizes that I'm still in control... 🤣
Hi Thomas. I've been watching your reviews for a long time and I really love them! Today, I have another point of view about the real leather animal skin issue. I fully understand the need to reduce the use of real leather. But the use of fabric or artificial leather leaves us another problem related to the overuse of plastics. I know this is a tough decision to make. Either kill the animals, or reduce the use of plastics to save the environment? I honestly do not know which one is better. Hope to see a comparison review about that sometime in the near future. Thank you.
Thanks for considering! Have you already read through our extensive resources on this topic? I am also addressing the plastic issue / future in those. We have researched this issue for many years now so please take your time to go through our extensive resources stated below as they answer every single question we have yet received concerning this matter. At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, and it is not about blaming anyone, it is about what you decide in the future and what you can decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself. In Summer 2017, Tesla motors has decided to be the first manufacturer to go all the way with sustainable seat materials, only offering fabric/cloth seats or leatherette seats in different colours. They have banned all real leather from the seating surface and at the steering wheel in the white trim or on demand. So Tesla shows where the industry will and must be heading, just like they went forward with electrification first. Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production: ruclips.net/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/видео.html List of practical reasons against animal skin seats: 1. animal skin seats are often sold as an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it) 2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat, probably you need seat cooling 3. they get very cold in winter and you need seat heating 4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling 5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like an old sofa 6. if you want leather look or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ruclips.net/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/видео.html) So Tesla shows a good example for that and as described, non-leather materials are now standard for ALL Tesla 7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather) To the environmental reasons: 1. The way the cows and other intelligent and social animals are raised and held are not according to the basic values that we all share (also see videos below) 2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for at least 40 % of climate emissions and thus is (according to numerous sources you can look up) the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for growing animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the agricultural land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf 3. It is not only cows who are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage. 4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed in first place: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body. 5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, in every case you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy. 6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/ To “But leatherette is not sustainable due to petrochemical production” 1. Indeed some fabrics and micro fibres are oil based, however most oil is spent on energy production, heating and fuel. The share of oil used for artificial cloth etc. is very very small. 2. If you look at the whole production process, the leatherette is way more sustainable than the leather produce. Even if you leave the ethical aspect aside, here is the official calculation of the CO2-Output animal skin vs leatherette (different kinds of leatherette): Leather 17 kg CO2/m² PVC leatherette 10 kg CO2/m² Acella Eco natural leatherette 8,5 kg CO2/m² Benova (PUR leatherette): 8 kg CO2/m² So by using the latest high-tech leatherette, you even the CO2-emissions are cut in half! 3. The best to-come solution are indeed plant-based materials like Pinatex (based on pineapple leaves) or new materials based on mycelia (roots of mushrooms) or other innovative natural products. That’s the future. More special video episodes: 1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ruclips.net/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/видео.html 2. And another one right here: ruclips.net/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/видео.html 3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ruclips.net/video/JipYvuDsI6s/видео.html timecode starting 27:46 4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ruclips.net/video/OgHs239bAnE/видео.html 5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway. Manufacturers reactions: We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. Tesla was the first one to react in a major way now. So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. E.g. Bentley, Mini and Kia have started vegan car interior programmes. Besides Tesla, Mercedes already shows major choices for sustainable interiors, you always have to pay attention to the details when ordering, of course - and we are happy to give advice. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change! Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!
Beyond only environmental matters, I prefer fabric for comfort; cooler in sun, not so cold in winter. I would usually opt for fabric, but most brands do not give the option in higher trim levels. Leather is a "luxury". Since leather is usually a higher cost feature, it would be nice if Volvo gave a discount for selecting fabric. However, Volvo seems to be very focused on option-based profit. To be fair, most European brands are as well.
If you google the Dodge Magnum station wagon, the side profiles look the same. I would obviously buy the Volvo over any American car 🙃 I really miss the old XC70 styling of the cross country and I wish that they did the same with the v60 XC. Then I might buy it instead of the new XC60.
Autogefuhl: Haldex gen 5 is not the same "front wheel" drive Haldex of previous generations! Almost every reviewer makes this mistake. Learn the differences and appreciate the recent tech!
Exterior is just superb, but interior is a bit old-fashioned for my taste. And in direct comparison Audi performs just a bit better, so choosing Volvo sadly is a bit emotional thing.
I do like this better than Audi's interior. But I think Volvo is setup more for comfort not performance. And it is a great place to be in. I hope they soon make this V60 fully electric. Maybe do some things in aerodynamics because that is important for EV's. But it would be a great car to have electric. I had a V90 hybride for a while and drove it in electric mode only in cities. And it just performs great.
@@henjoh69 It's not about your personal experience. Reliability is determined on a per 100 vehicle ratio. How many mechanical/electrical issues develop per 100 vehicle. Volvo has a pretty high unreliability rate per 100 vehicle. Don't believe me, check out Truedelta. Truedelta is an online community that collects data from car owners who share their experiences with reliability and much more.
Haha You can get two Seat Leon ST Cupra (300HP and 4WD) for same price as this car cost and have money over to buy nice winter wheels...Btw When can we expect the review of Leon ST Cupra 2019? There are also two other new versions. Carbon and R. It would be nice to hear if the ST Cupra got better with virtual cockpit and 7-speed DSG or the difference is minimal. Also how the new R version of the Leon ST preform compared to the "standard" Cupra. Thx! And as always...nice review! ;)
Yeah, and you can get 10 Tata Nano for the same price as 1 Leon, whats your point? V60 and Seat Leon is not even the same type of car so nothing in your comment makes any sense
@@Jeppelelle Sean Leon ST is an estate version with 4WD. There is also a Seat Leon X-perience which is equivalent to Cross Country. That car is even cheaper than ST Cupra. Those cars are made by Volkswagen Group and share many parts like engine and DSG transmission from the Golf series. You can also have an Audi A4 Allroad disel with 190Hp (again equivalent to Cross Country and similar engine) for 40000€. What don´t make any sense is the price of this car. A4 3.0 TDI 272 hp quattro is the highest lvl of Allroad and that cost 52000€. Still less than the Volvo but with much better engine and superior transmission.
@@arteljus983 In your original comment you specifically said the ST version, which is not the same type of car nor same class. Leon X-perience is also not the same type of car nor class, it has an underpowered engine, poor trim options etc etc (weird thing to bring that car into the discussion when you failed in your original comment, to save your ass). A standard V60CC D4 costs slightly less than the A4 Allroad diesel 190hp, so in this comparison the V60 isn't really that expensive. Also, your claim that the A4 3.0 TDI 272 hp is cheaper than the V60 CC is pretty stupid since you are comparing a standard A4 with NO options to a V60 CC that has alot of options specced on it, ofcourse the V60 will be more expensive if you make so weird comparisons, you are comparing apple and oranges. If you want a fair price comparison then you obviously have to choose equal trim, engine, options etc. All your price comparisons are so weird, you compare shitty Seat:s with underpowered engines (in the X-perience case), shitty specs and options etc etc, with an optioned V60 CC and then "Look, the Seat is cheaper", well, no shit, ofcourse it is....who would have thought that a car produced to be as cheap as possible with not luxury options or features is cheaper than a car that is, what a chocker. I agree with you though that Audi has better transmissions than Volvo but thats not that hard to achieve since Volvo uses dogtrash slushboxes.
@@arteljus983 This was a top spec car. If you equip the A4 Allroad to the same spec, I don't think it would be any cheaper. That B&W sound system alone is like 4000€. Not quite needed. My offer from the dealer is around 41000 € for a most decent equipped car.
Interesting! Yes, some reviewers (never Thomas!) state: "the base price of this car is..." But this is pretty useless. I think, the only way to compare cars of a similar segment, is to spend time on the online configurators, configure a similar engine, then spec each car up to the max - with everything. Then compare. This way you get a better idea of a price comparison. And you also find out which bit of kit each has. Kind regards.
Althought this is the Volvo I would go for accross the range, simply can't overlook the fact that they didn't want to invest more time and money on door panels design. Not that there is something wrong with the panel design itself, but comparing to C -Class, new 3 series and A4, it's nothing special, given the car price. It's morelike something Škoda/VW would make.
First of your City or Region abbreviation (K for Cologne) with up to 3 letters, then the next (up to two letters) are randomized or you can choose one for yourself and at the end a random or from you chosen number with up to 4 digets
40 cm height of luggage room is poor result. Cabin case has 55 cm and it may be forward in vertical position in Superb but not here. Regarding roll cover of luggage room - are they really still produce car without guide of cover?
@@myslecinaczej8674 You are wron. In General ideas both structures are same and base on horizontal main beams. The difference is that Volvo as many others put a lot of Styro and others fillers to luggage room. Regarding roll cover I don't understand why they offer so old and in practice solution.
@@nocnymarek7645 No I am not wrong. Generic concept similarity has little to do with final strength under the impact ultimate loads structures capability of a particular, optimized structures There several factors behind that (styro can be one of them but it is also the ultimate strength, yield stress level, elongation, section of the profiles involved, buckling and post buckling capability -am an aviation structural engineer so know something about that.....). Volvo has meaningful heritage in this discipline and always show up with sturdiness. And not just in controlled crash tests but also real life accidents. Cheers.
Hopefully better materials inside than the current (2nd gen) XC60. Ckecked one out today, very dissappointed by the cheap and flimsy plastics in the cabin. Vents, centre console, storage box, window switches, all mediocre and a huge step back from the last V70 and XC70 in my opinion
So the REAL trunk capacity is not 530l, but around 400 litres (measured by Thomas 1m x 1m x 0.4m) , when equipped with spare tire. That's way below average for mid size kombi !!! Disappointing.

thanks for tuning in - please recommend us =)
Does Volvo ever make a car that isn't gorgeous? This looks fantastic!
We just bought the V90 CC and I still love watching reviews. We have yet to take it off road, but it works so well in the rain!
I think any car works well in the rain if you have the right tires.
Great car. My dad is buying a V60 CC d4 awd. Pebble grey with blond city weave interior. Testdrove it today and it offers soo good comfort. Not too expensive in sweden, especially considering it has some good prices on the packages. 45k euro with climatepack, towhitch , electice tailgate, intellisafe assist with all the safetech , DAB radio and wintertyres etc. And now this car is a 6month old demo with only 7000km and the price is 36k. Good deal right
Cool, great seat choice =)
I was looking and listning to all sorts of reviews, and then came about this one and said, finally....one that I can trust and listen in peace.
welcome! Please recommend!
I drove a S90 D5 AWD for 1000 km one month ago, managed 5,5 L/100 km...90% highway 100-120 km/h
The best wagon by far. I used to drive 240 GL back in the 90’s and loved it. This V60 looks sexy❤️
The interior of the car is absolutely beautiful..
And the exterior 🤩
Don’t bother with any other YT channel. Perfect reviews.
👌
I just got a 2020 V60 CC, and I LOVE IT!! Nice Video, and very pretty in red. I believe that video is a 2019 since it has the electric back seat button which they don’t have in the 2020. I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE my Volvo CC. I just traded my Audi A5 Convertible which I loved, and I can say this is the closest in SUV type car, that drove like a sport sedan and not a bulky SUV. If you want the best of both worlds this is your answer. I never thought of myself as a wagon person at all, but this baby is not your grandma’s wagon. And the interior, I cannot tell you how luxurious and comfortable it is!! I also love the heads up display and the advance package which includes the adaptive cruise control and pilot assist. It’s funny because my sister was just looking at the interior rear space, and she said “yeah but I think my Land Rover (Discovery) is bigger in the back I said you think let’s measure. And when we went from my car to hers, we couldn’t believe how much bigger mine was. We didn’t have a measuring tape, but we used the box that we had. After I sat and drove this baby, no other car/SUV could measure, and I had to have her!! You wont regret it if you want the feel of a sports sedan, with the luxury of a luxurious car, and the utility and space of an SUV, then this is your BABY!
thanks for the report :)
Doing an almost 40 minute review w/o autocue orso. Pretty impressive, great review.
Welcome!!
Simply the best..
Great Footage. that natural fog on backgroud looks great on the entire footage.
perfect.
👌
Haven't watched more than the first minute yet but I have to say thanks for having the intro music volume at a similar level to your voice.
Bravo to my fellow camera person. Nice work! Well thought out transitions, and I particularly liked that punch in on the front headlight at the beginning. Ok, kudos to the editor making that happen! ;) Thomas rocks as always! This is a very cool Volvo. I'd say it's the best Volvo yet!
👌
I think you nailed the reason for Volvo's high fuel consumption. It is because of the heaviness of volvo cars. I cannot complain so much about it since it is done for safety reasons. The cars are semi-tanks.
Fantastic review...watched the whole thing!! Looking into getting one next week. You answered pretty much all of my questions and doubts. Thanks. 🤓
Cool 😎
Fantastic review Thomas. I am adding the V60 Cross Country to my list of potentials.
cheers m8!
I love Volvo CrossCountry models, I would love to buy it.
Thomas, great review, as always! I like how you do things differently from lots of other reviewers. I particularly like your test drives, with cameras showing out side as well as the instrument panels. I also liked seeing the measurements that you did in this review for the cargo area. You're definitely in the top three of all car reviewers in the English language, in my opinion!
Thanks m8 pls recommend!
Great review Thomas 😁 One small detail I would like to see in your reviews is the boot/startup time in seconds for the infotainment from ignition on to FILLY functional....some take a really long time! Thanks 👍
Most car brands' computer screens take a while. They need to find a way to put the computer to sleep, so that they come up almost immediately -- instead of turning them off and having to boot them up from cold off... that is the problem -- bad design in turning them off totally. People don't turn off their smartphones usually; they put them to sleep, so that they come up immediately when needed.
cba tiau They have to be careful of battery drain though. Park in an airport car park for three weeks and it’s running the immobiliser and the infotainment on a cold night you might struggle to start it again on an older battery
Mini Eggs it is a problem that can be easily resolved. They can set a timer, maybe the system would sleep for 15 mins then it would turn itself off.
ca m My ten year old vw system already does this. It doesn’t solve the problem. Ironically I guess when we all go electric and have things plugged in all night it could stay in sleep mode !
Turn car on from your phone 5 minutes before you leave when it's cold out, no wait time for infotainment.
What a great review, so much better than others. Keep up the good work.

Something like this makes so much more sense for the vast majority of SUV / crossover buyers. Unless you need a Wrangler, Land Rover or Jimny type proper off-roader, this would be perfect.
I’d like to know what the reason is for not including PHEV options for the cross country though. Very disappointing.
Chris Till I’m sure they did a cost/benefit analysis and realised they couldn’t turn a profit overall as a corp if there was too much hybrid demand and not enough cheap 4 cylinder ICE demand.
Too much niche they said
Love the interior/exterior colour combination of this model. You did give me some anxiety as it looked like you stopped in the middle of a foggy road when standing outside the car.
Hehe that was a big bus parking lot next to the road :)
What a beatiful car. Swedes really know their stuff. Saabs were also wonderful cars.
Great review as always Thomas! Really nice car, but definitely out of my price range.
V60 the best midsize wagon on the planet )
Great (misty) filming! Cool interior. Shame about low headroom & rear room - hence why some buy a SUV perhaps? Also like '4 o'clock in the morning'. Like the focus on comfort. Looking at the configurator, without specifying lots and lots of pricey extras, equipment is sparse. I like the City Weave (no extra cost in UK on CC - shock). BLIS is an extra on all V60's - why? Excellent Driving Part, commentary, and very good driving. Thomas, this video is nearly as good as your Feb 3, 2016 "Tiguan in the snow video"! Many thanks Thomas and Michel.
😎👍
That is a nice looking car
Yeap.
Except the plastic exterior parts.

Thank you again Thomas for this wonderful car presentation, very rich in information thanks to this video, I had the impression to have participated with you, you have very well presented the exterior details and everything about the car,
Great job also from the cameraman
appreciated, please spread the word :)
I love the car. I’ve had several dating back to ‘98. I also loved the mini euro tour thanks!
Thanks Thomas!) I love this car.
Nice car, very good review. My favorite brand, Volvo😍
I have a XC60 and i am very satisfied 😀
Nice Audi in the profile😊
I love to buy a Volvo but inDenmark its crazy price starting price is 492450dkk its about 66000 euro for a basic model the r line is 774450 dkk its about 103000 euro !!! Having a car in Denmark is luxury !!!
wow
Great review and Happy Lunar New Year!
I think I’d go for the XC60.
V60 CC better choice
You can't go wrong with any new Volvo :)
Definitely my favorite brand! ❤❤❤🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘❤❤❤
Current dream car
Thomas, excellent video review, as usual! You give us very precise analysis and respected personal impression of these vehicles.
This is the most beautiful, maybe even sexy, estate available IMO. This is the closest Volvo has come to a production version of their amazing 2014 Estate Concept (Shooting Brake). I prefer the extra room my V90’s provide for my family and dog, but if I did not need this space, I would opt for this V60 without a second thought. Versus the competition, the Volvo is the safest, most survivable in a collision (RUclips IIHS Small Front Overlap); this is a priority for me since having a family. In the US, option for option, Volvo’s are more affordable, and always with sizable dealer and corporate discounts.
To be honest, I love Audi and Mercedes cars (have had numerous - wife wants a Q8 bad), but there’s something special, unique, about Volvo in my country; kind of like Audi was back in the 1990’s.
thanks for the feedback pete!
This car looks great.
Nice car , good interior but too expensive at this price. Volvo is asking too much for their cars,at the same pricr I would get a German competitor instead.
Good review Thomas , get out of the cold and warm yourself up man, cheers !!!!!
Will do :)
Yes Volvo is more premium than they where in the past. But from my experience the standart models are more complete than the German competitors. And Volvo still has better seats.
Volvo competed with these brands. Usually still cheaper even.
Wow, Volvos are beautiful 😍
Really nice car. Great presentation. Thanks.
Great review . . . thank you Tomas
Love the colour ! What do you think , which is best the V60CC OR THE V90CC, How do they compare ?
Another premium product from Volvo with no water temperature gauge. This sadly rules it out for me (also it's too expensive new for me at the moment)
And sadly also no oil dipstick
I think the car will warn you when temps go up.
@@Runclimblift Why? Because as an engineer I monitor the engine health and don't want to stress the engine before it has warmed up. I've had issues with the cooling system on at least 3 of my previous cars what I have identified through monitoring the water temperature.
@@Runclimblift When I asked at a dealer they said there was no temperature gauge by design and no way to display engine temperature on the computer screen thing on the dashboard. I've not had the privilege of getting a key and starting the engine to find out. On some Renault mode;ls there is no temperature gauge but a blue water temperature light that comes on when the engine is cold and goes out when it reaches operating temperature. That's better than no gauge, but still won't be good enough to warn you if the thermostat is sticking or playing up. A water temperature gauge is also great for warning you about airlocks if you do your own coolant change and don't quite get it right.....
Gorgeous review! 😍
Great review of a nice car. Having traveled to Germany a lot in the last few years for business, I appreciate your calm and thorough style. I understand this CC model will come to USA but with a starting price just over 40k US. I know pricing is higher in Europe in general but I'm guessing maybe they will reduce some of the bells and whistles in the base model here. This is fine for me, making the price more reasonable. Our US market doesn't have many options with all wheel drive in this design style outside of VW Golf Alltrack, Subaru Outback and Buick Tour X (same as Opel Insignia estate awd). The Passat Alltrack is not sold here. The luxury aspect is not important to me but the size of the V60 and its driving dynamics may be just right compared to the available mix. Am I willing to pay up for it is the question.
thanks! Yeah it will be just fine without high trim (better actually)
Great gar, but expensive to buy and expensive to use. I like and would recommend it
A good candidate for leasing
Looks great. The V60, too.
Вольво - это лучшее, что создано мировым автопромом!
I am happy with my 2012 pre Geely xc70 CC. Just hit 100,000 miles today and barely any issues besides routine replacements, a compressor and new battery replacement. But that is a smooth I6 engine and these new ones have electronic gadgetry, Chinese OEM parts and charged 4 cyl engines . Will be higher costs to maintain for sure. Better to lease future Volvos like their German competition.
I wish you were completely right, but unfortunately the car is only Finished in Sweden. So many of the parts, the the European parts, are actually made in China.
djchristian82 another dirty manufacturing secret. Most European car parts, Italian shoe soles, Swiss watch components and electronic parts in luxury apppliances also made in China. The desire to keep increasing profits compels corporate decision makers and asset owners to do so.
djchristian82 I wish you were completely right, but unfortunately the car is only Finished in Sweden. So many of the parts, the the European parts, are actually made in China.
I wish you were completely right. As others have said, MANY (most?) manufacturers use components sourced from many places, including China. You are talking about something that no longer exists.
Also, being made in China is not an automatic assumption of poor quality; that's prejudicial thinking. Like everything manufactured by humans, quality control makes all the difference. I have a Panasonic Chinese-made camera that could hardly be more precise. I had a German car that was a quality mess. Volvo, as an auto brand, tends to be closer to the bottom in recent quality rankings. Asian brands, with some Chinese components, tend to be closer to the top. So, I'm still not understanding your point?
Wow.. this car is luxury, awesome and comfortable. I like it,s rims models.
Really don't like that sales modes. I prefer to own the car and in my experience, if you keep the car many years, there is no so many maintenance and tyres to compensate high cost of monthly fee.
I thought it was and then it was confirmed Rossfeldstrabe. My annual family destination Berchtesgadener.... great.

As a Mainland Chinese, thrilled to know Volvo is now owned by Geely CHINA ❤️ #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #DreamOn 🇨🇳
Great car and a great review. Thank you for sharing :)
Perfect locale and time of year for this vlog.
How do you judge door closing sound? Where is the benchmark in this segment? Mind you one can recognise shit sound in dacia or lower segment but here???
Excellent job!! A worth looking into further!!
I'm interested in buying one of these and has got an offer from the dealer. A few strange things: If you (as i do) want adjustable thigh-support you have to add leather seats and 4-way adjustable lumbar support. Adds like 1500$€.
I wan't flappy paddles. Not possible. Only available in R-design trim *facepalm*.
Oh, and by the way, when I'm out playing in the snow with my XC60 2019 with traction control i sport-mode, seat belts never tightens up... Maybe the car realizes that I'm still in control... 🤣
Whereabouts did u film this? Looks beautiful!
Main location was Rossfeld Panoramastrasse
I love the red one❤❤❤🤩
Hi Thomas. I've been watching your reviews for a long time and I really love them!
Today, I have another point of view about the real leather animal skin issue.
I fully understand the need to reduce the use of real leather. But the use of fabric or artificial leather leaves us another problem related to the overuse of plastics. I know this is a tough decision to make. Either kill the animals, or reduce the use of plastics to save the environment? I honestly do not know which one is better. Hope to see a comparison review about that sometime in the near future. Thank you.
Thanks for considering! Have you already read through our extensive resources on this topic? I am also addressing the plastic issue / future in those.
We have researched this issue for many years now so please take your time to go through our extensive resources stated below as they answer every single question we have yet received concerning this matter.
At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, and it is not about blaming anyone, it is about what you decide in the future and what you can decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself.
In Summer 2017, Tesla motors has decided to be the first manufacturer to go all the way with sustainable seat materials, only offering fabric/cloth seats or leatherette seats in different colours. They have banned all real leather from the seating surface and at the steering wheel in the white trim or on demand. So Tesla shows where the industry will and must be heading, just like they went forward with electrification first.
Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production:
ruclips.net/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/видео.html
List of practical reasons against animal skin seats:
1. animal skin seats are often sold as an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it)
2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat, probably you need seat cooling
3. they get very cold in winter and you need seat heating
4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling
5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like an old sofa
6. if you want leather look or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ruclips.net/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/видео.html) So Tesla shows a good example for that and as described, non-leather materials are now standard for ALL Tesla
7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather)
To the environmental reasons:
1. The way the cows and other intelligent and social animals are raised and held are not according to the basic values that we all share (also see videos below)
2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for at least 40 % of climate emissions and thus is (according to numerous sources you can look up) the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for growing animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the agricultural land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf
3. It is not only cows who are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage.
4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed in first place: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body.
5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, in every case you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy.
6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/
To “But leatherette is not sustainable due to petrochemical production”
1. Indeed some fabrics and micro fibres are oil based, however most oil is spent on energy production, heating and fuel. The share of oil used for artificial cloth etc. is very very small.
2. If you look at the whole production process, the leatherette is way more sustainable than the leather produce. Even if you leave the ethical aspect aside, here is the official calculation of the CO2-Output animal skin vs leatherette (different kinds of leatherette):
Leather 17 kg CO2/m²
PVC leatherette 10 kg CO2/m²
Acella Eco natural leatherette 8,5 kg CO2/m²
Benova (PUR leatherette): 8 kg CO2/m²
So by using the latest high-tech leatherette, you even the CO2-emissions are cut in half!
3. The best to-come solution are indeed plant-based materials like Pinatex (based on pineapple leaves) or new materials based on mycelia (roots of mushrooms) or other innovative natural products. That’s the future.
More special video episodes:
1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ruclips.net/video/8f91KgbVbJQ/видео.html
2. And another one right here: ruclips.net/video/tMNgcLE0LDU/видео.html
3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ruclips.net/video/JipYvuDsI6s/видео.html
timecode starting 27:46
4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ruclips.net/video/OgHs239bAnE/видео.html
5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway.
Manufacturers reactions:
We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. Tesla was the first one to react in a major way now.
So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. E.g. Bentley, Mini and Kia have started vegan car interior programmes. Besides Tesla, Mercedes already shows major choices for sustainable interiors, you always have to pay attention to the details when ordering, of course - and we are happy to give advice. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change!
Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!
Beyond only environmental matters, I prefer fabric for comfort; cooler in sun, not so cold in winter. I would usually opt for fabric, but most brands do not give the option in higher trim levels. Leather is a "luxury". Since leather is usually a higher cost feature, it would be nice if Volvo gave a discount for selecting fabric. However, Volvo seems to be very focused on option-based profit. To be fair, most European brands are as well.
If you google the Dodge Magnum station wagon, the side profiles look the same. I would obviously buy the Volvo over any American car 🙃 I really miss the old XC70 styling of the cross country and I wish that they did the same with the v60 XC. Then I might buy it instead of the new XC60.

Ahah, love the foggy setting. 🌫👌
Great car and review ... I wonder how tall is he...
Stated in every interior part :)
so nice presentation, congragulation
Cool car ... fine review ! 👍
Exterior is just superb, but interior is a bit old-fashioned for my taste. And in direct comparison Audi performs just a bit better, so choosing Volvo sadly is a bit emotional thing.
I do like this better than Audi's interior. But I think Volvo is setup more for comfort not performance. And it is a great place to be in. I hope they soon make this V60 fully electric. Maybe do some things in aerodynamics because that is important for EV's. But it would be a great car to have electric. I had a V90 hybride for a while and drove it in electric mode only in cities. And it just performs great.
Audis have loads of plastic nowadays. Volvo is just minimalist and high quality
I want buy this car soon
Only lease don't buy. Modern Volvo cars have issues you don't want to deal with after their warranty expires.
Volvo's are very reliable zarbon.

@@henjoh69 Yes I love volvo
@@henjoh69 It's not about your personal experience. Reliability is determined on a per 100 vehicle ratio. How many mechanical/electrical issues develop per 100 vehicle. Volvo has a pretty high unreliability rate per 100 vehicle. Don't believe me, check out Truedelta. Truedelta is an online community that collects data from car owners who share their experiences with reliability and much more.
Haha You can get two Seat Leon ST Cupra (300HP and 4WD) for same price as this car cost and have money over to buy nice winter wheels...Btw When can we expect the review of Leon ST Cupra 2019? There are also two other new versions. Carbon and R. It would be nice to hear if the ST Cupra got better with virtual cockpit and 7-speed DSG or the difference is minimal. Also how the new R version of the Leon ST preform compared to the "standard" Cupra. Thx! And as always...nice review! ;)
Yeah, and you can get 10 Tata Nano for the same price as 1 Leon, whats your point? V60 and Seat Leon is not even the same type of car so nothing in your comment makes any sense
@@Jeppelelle Sean Leon ST is an estate version with 4WD. There is also a Seat Leon X-perience which is equivalent to Cross Country. That car is even cheaper than ST Cupra. Those cars are made by Volkswagen Group and share many parts like engine and DSG transmission from the Golf series. You can also have an Audi A4 Allroad disel with 190Hp (again equivalent to Cross Country and similar engine) for 40000€. What don´t make any sense is the price of this car. A4 3.0 TDI 272 hp quattro is the highest lvl of Allroad and that cost 52000€. Still less than the Volvo but with much better engine and superior transmission.
@@arteljus983 In your original comment you specifically said the ST version, which is not the same type of car nor same class. Leon X-perience is also not the same type of car nor class, it has an underpowered engine, poor trim options etc etc (weird thing to bring that car into the discussion when you failed in your original comment, to save your ass).
A standard V60CC D4 costs slightly less than the A4 Allroad diesel 190hp, so in this comparison the V60 isn't really that expensive.
Also, your claim that the A4 3.0 TDI 272 hp is cheaper than the V60 CC is pretty stupid since you are comparing a standard A4 with NO options to a V60 CC that has alot of options specced on it, ofcourse the V60 will be more expensive if you make so weird comparisons, you are comparing apple and oranges. If you want a fair price comparison then you obviously have to choose equal trim, engine, options etc.
All your price comparisons are so weird, you compare shitty Seat:s with underpowered engines (in the X-perience case), shitty specs and options etc etc, with an optioned V60 CC and then "Look, the Seat is cheaper", well, no shit, ofcourse it is....who would have thought that a car produced to be as cheap as possible with not luxury options or features is cheaper than a car that is, what a chocker.
I agree with you though that Audi has better transmissions than Volvo but thats not that hard to achieve since Volvo uses dogtrash slushboxes.
@@arteljus983 This was a top spec car. If you equip the A4 Allroad to the same spec, I don't think it would be any cheaper. That B&W sound system alone is like 4000€. Not quite needed. My offer from the dealer is around 41000 € for a most decent equipped car.
Interesting! Yes, some reviewers (never Thomas!) state: "the base price of this car is..." But this is pretty useless. I think, the only way to compare cars of a similar segment, is to spend time on the online configurators, configure a similar engine, then spec each car up to the max - with everything. Then compare. This way you get a better idea of a price comparison. And you also find out which bit of kit each has. Kind regards.
Thomas would you mind to share the Locations ?🙂
Sure, Rossfeld Panoramastrasse and snow area around Fuschlsee
that's south and east of Salzburg, Austria (respectively)
Wonderful !! 🙂
Althought this is the Volvo I would go for accross the range, simply can't overlook the fact that they didn't want to invest more time and money on door panels design.
Not that there is something wrong with the panel design itself, but comparing to C -Class, new 3 series and A4, it's nothing special, given the car price. It's morelike something Škoda/VW would make.
Wait so the V60 CC has not plug-in hybrid at all?
Indeed not with CC
Does V60 use Haldex or QNK awd system?
Anyone experience with it now in 2023 ? How is the car after 4 years ? Any problems issues ? Engine or transmission

Volvo does not compromise structures robustness for few liters of baggage compartment. Skoda is about space and cheap solutions.
@@myslecinaczej8674
You are wron. In General ideas both structures are same and base on horizontal main beams. The difference is that Volvo as many others put a lot of Styro and others fillers to luggage room.
Regarding roll cover I don't understand why they offer so old and in practice solution.
@@nocnymarek7645 No I am not wrong. Generic concept similarity has little to do with final strength under the impact ultimate loads structures capability of a particular, optimized structures There several factors behind that (styro can be one of them but it is also the ultimate strength, yield stress level, elongation, section of the profiles involved, buckling and post buckling capability -am an aviation structural engineer so know something about that.....). Volvo has meaningful heritage in this discipline and always show up with sturdiness. And not just in controlled crash tests but also real life accidents. Cheers.
Silent hill atmosphere!
Hopefully better materials inside than the current (2nd gen) XC60. Ckecked one out today, very dissappointed by the cheap and flimsy plastics in the cabin. Vents, centre console, storage box, window switches, all mediocre and a huge step back from the last V70 and XC70 in my opinion
