Did you review the xc40 EV? If not, that one.
Volvo s60
V60CC
XC40
xc60 t8 -really all we care about
I had an s60 which I loved but traded it in a week ago for an xc60. LOVE LOVE IT!!! I have been traveling and it’s the best decision yet! I love the look and feel of the Volvo as compared to
competition. I looked at a BMW X3, jaguar and Porshe Macan. For the price point, I am completely satisfied.
Volvo really makes a car that’s a cut above the competition. Then again, they’ve always been that way. Like the content, very informative
But your repair bill will be higher than the value of the car in about 3 or 4 years
@@jeffmocha9478 your 40k service bill for the car is about $600 I’m not sure that exceeds the value of the vehicle.
@@jeffmocha9478 not really sure if you know what you’re talking about
@@TheRealMacSavage My 70k came out to $120.95 ;))
@@maxgglol5506 Of course he doesn't. Must be a BMW fanboy, they always come off with that kind of made up facts.
my first Volvo is an XC40 R design and I LOVE IT! it may not be the fastest or quickest car but its damn practical and comfortable and is very capable for everyday commuting and road trips!
Yes!!! I just got my first Volvo, too - an XC40 Inscription. I love it!!! I really enjoy driving it. It’s certainly made me feel like I want to stay in the Volvo family!
Mine too! Now I have an XC60. My next will either be the phev XC60 (in 2024, which will do 50 miles in pure electric) or the full EV XC60 (if it's out by then).
T4? T3?
Excellent review. Very honest - you point out both the positives and negatives and weren’t afraid to be critical when appropriate.
You are my favorite car reviewer on RUclips. I enjoy your personality and expertise. Thank you. 👍
One of the few SUV's I would consider and would pay for the Polestar tune. Thanks for this review, I really enjoy your channel.
You are so right about that it doesnt sound like a four cillender. Especially if you dont push it too much, so it is low in RPM, it sounds like the classic 5 cillinder Volvo we like so much
Absolutely crushing in terms of content - keep up the great work
Thanks Peter!

Yo-yoh don't 4get 2 pick-up dat merch
That T8 powertrain is no joke... My grandma has the T8 Inscription Plug-In Hybrid Extended Range with the 455HP output and the only reason why she got it was because it was the only "Red" car on the lot... Little did she know that car has 4.1 0-60. I really like the conservative and minimalist look of Volvo interiors but I wish they incroporated more ambient lighting and expanded on their wool interiors to have come different color options. A silver Volvo S60 with a red wool interior with red alcantara trim and BMW-style ambient lighting would look insane!
4.1 secs? Manufacturer says 4.5 seconds
Would u recommend getting the T8 because I have the B5 and I’m thinking of getting a T8 now
Yay for grandma! Hope she lets you drive it once in a while😉
@@azishappy2035Don't forget the yellow key))
Thanks for the video. Very clean and informative
You should test the T8 model. I just bought one. 400hp and electric when you want it. Best car I’ve ever owned.
The 2023 T8 makes 455!
I got a B6 since the extra 10-15k didn't seem worh it. Also needed a car sooner than later and finding a recharge in my colors qas near impossible.
Not to rag down on the review, it was actually very good pointing out various points positive with common sense intact, opposite to most spoiled "reviewers".
Even if no carmanufactuer completely can avoid fashions or new technic, Volvo, as long it last in the long run dont care about oldschool as long it still rely on safety more than fashion.
What i mean is the day someone even at daytime can be aware of a indicator
(both brakelights and turnsignals) on the car(s) ahead as early as possible for turns - especially leftturns
every split second counts. At redlights or pile-ups Brakelights that may be seen 3-4 cars ahead can save many crashes or maybe even lifes, though i admit some brakelights aimed straight to your eyes waiting for a redlight is a damn pain ; ).
The MB grill reference is understandable as you said it, but i haven't thought about it
(im a true copy observer by principles) so if thats the case or not they by master design made that grill
to what they needed, and they made it sophisticated in all its vulgarity.
How cocky i may have sounded it was not intentional, english is not my native language.
You got yourself a new subar... scriber, subscriber ☻
Quiet and the air suspension option I will always have. Most rugged and comfy Volvo yet
The airsuspension is, for me, the unique selling point. for more money you can get an X3... but the airsuspension is the thing that makes the Volvo stand out. (just got my T8 with it)
I’ve owned a 2019 Volvo xc40, I currently own a 2021 xc60: and trust me- after a week or so the screen is far from bad. He was honest, and I appreciate that, but once you get to know the system it’s SO EASY. I’ve owned a 2010 Lexus RX bf my xc40 and the system is basiclaly as simple as that. It’s intuitive and easy to operate and most of the functions you are going to be dealing with while driving are easily accessible so it’s not that big of an issue :)
Disappointed is an understatement: April 27, 2022, We bought a 2022 Volvo XC60 R-Design last week, drove it home from Nashville to Bowling Green, KY ( We ordered before Thanksgiving and custom ordered and we were excited when it arrived 5 months later), however and the the next day it didn't start and sat stuck in our garage...it took 3 days to get Volvo to tow it back to the dealership, because the new XC60 Volvo has no way to shift into neutral and the tires won't roll. It took 3 two-truk operators and dozens of calls to Volvo On Call, and all 3 tow-truck operators thought they could get the XC60 into neutral, and even the trick that Volvo operators stated to the 3rd driver, did not allow the Volvo to stay in neutral, it kept defaulting back to lock, thus making this car extremely vulnerable in a situation that warrants pushing the vehicle to a safer spot (it will not move if the battery is dead, or the car won't start). The Dealership had to reboot the computer on the new XC60 with less than 80 miles in order to get the XC60 to start and for the keyless keys to work, and they had no logical explanation on why the Volvo would not start, other than it needed a software update....(my phone needs that about every two months). Volvo of Nashville owner/slash general manager refused to talk to me, thus we lost confidence and trust in the car and the dealership for this $67K vehicle. Volvo of Nashville now has possession of the 3 ton paper-weight and time ticking bomb of not starting, and we are in the process of trying to get our monies back. Be ware of this experience and we are still driving our 2011 Mercedes GLK w/ 127K miles which has never had a single car issue, other than having to reupholster the driver seat, and routine maintenance.
That's a total joke, Reliability is still a key issue with Volvos.
That's why I finally chose Audi Q5 even if I liked Volvo in all other aspects. But with Audi I've already driven 3500 kilometers at once in 35 C degrees without any problems.
I got xc 60 2012 and Im very happy with it. Hope one day I will be able to afford myself this one)
I'd have one over the X3. Not sure about the Audi q5 though, just because the q5 ages so well in the looks department
that bone thugs reference was really OG 😎
Great review.
Great review. The end is the best. I would love to be your client if you were a Volvo salesman! And btw. I was test driving a 2021 XC60 today with the same light colored interior. I love it. And I'm very surprised this cars feels so comfy and so quick at the same time. I had XC70 and XC90 back in Europe. Was also testing a V90 cross country this week and after that Porsche Macan S. Please don't make fun of me but I feel like this Volvo is something between big Volvos and Porsche Macan. Feels very responsive :)
Definitely my favorite car 🚘🔝🔝🔝
I manifest buying this car soon!
Very clear and meaningful video m thanks 🤩
Love the nice and candid review~ its really refreshing! But wait.... what's the final verdict of whether it's better than the Q5 or X3? Do I assume it is?? Thanks mate for the upload!
Beauty paint job
Hi Sir, can you please let me know where can I buy the lights that you have used in your ceiling. Thank you
Totally true! I’m stuck on the 2020 T8 version due to the sensus multimedia and the driving mode selector
love the backgroud. may i know whats the name of the white lights in ceiling?
Did you experince brake noise when you did the test drive at slow speed just before it stop? No review on youtube mentioned it but lots of volvo owner experience it.
The screen on the 2022 is such a let down, we went from a 2019 XC60 to a 2022 (MY)XC60, got it in December and we’re swapping it already as it has so much glitches, it could be so good but it’s been released far too soon, the on call all doesn’t work with it, there is no option to turn start stop off, the screen/system crashes and goes black all the time….
Kind of funny ... As a XC60 owner (T8, R) I actually find the biggest plus is the Android system. Don't care about Apple products / integration, my phone(s) is/are Android, so I feel right at home. There are a few quirks, a few things I wish would have been done differently, but overall I would not want to go for another car with a non-Android setup (sorry Subaru, my next one will be a XC40 ;-)) And yes, I got over the reluctance to talk to my car ... voice control really works ... well.
Android is fine. Putting too many controls on the screen at the expense of physical buttons is not.
@@Bergerac82 yep especially when driving then your system decides to spontaneously reboot
Volvo has a compelling lineup. Looks, power, cabin are top notch. Lack of CarPlay is a real issue for some buyers. I much prefer Carplay for media, phone, and map duties. Volvo (and Polestar) have been saying CarPlay is coming, but I would not feel comfortable leasing or purchasing on a promise. This is the same reason why I avoid Lexus.
My 2021 Volvo XC60 has CarPlay… I’m pretty sure they are standard
We have a 2020 Inscription, and it has both Apple/Android car play. This is a standard feature.
Really good review, I enjoyed it, though you're rushing your speech a bit.
Love Volvos, I'm already a longtime fan. I look forward to buying a brand new fully loaded Volvo soon.
What colour is the one presented, is this silver dawn ?
How would you compare it to the base Macan? Thanks!
Can we put 21” or 22” on 2022 Inscription expression on XC60 plug in hybrid T8 eawd ?
great review, what is the name of the colour / bodypaint ? thanks !
My 2018 XC60 has the buttons to put down the headrests and seats from the rear. Has that been removed all together or is it now optional?
It’s in the infotainment area under settings now
We have a 2012 XC60 and are thinking about getting a newer XC90. Do you have any thoughts on the fact that the newer models only come in a 4 cylinder? My hubs thinks it’s a dealbreaker-that a 4 cylinder even with turbo would be too sluggish on a heavy vehicle the size of the XC90- but I’d rather have another Volvo than anything else so I’m hoping the performance difference isn’t noticeable. Any thoughts?
I drive a XC90 D5 235 bhp and it's powerful enough for most situations, but keep in mind that XC90 is heavier and you can feel that if driving on uphill autobahn at 140 kmh and need to overtake it is struggling. Otherwise it's almost fast as a 320d bmw or a c220 Mercedes. Before buying the XC90 I was very interested in accelerating times, after a few 0-100 I just didn't care anymore, it is such a wonderful car , I like it more and feels better than a Mercedes S class( except for the acceleration)
If your budget is unlimited you can chose the XC90 recharge and in that case you have a luxurious, comfy rocket .
I drive B5. Ride quality is very nice. Firm but not too firm. Interior is posh and build Q is top notch - absolutely rattle and squeak free.
Hey, Badly waiting for the review of 2022 BMW X4 M40i from your perspective. Please do it.
Everything but the infotainment is great and attractive
It’s beautiful!
Beautiful!!!!!
The way you touch things dude 😂
good review, only forgot to mention that USB-C can't play your own music from flash drive, it is only for charging phone... big disappointment for me
In my country the crystal gear option was cut but the price are still x4 time
Wow!!!!!! This one of my most favorite SUV'S I ever seen on the roads once in the while. I rather to get this vehicle over it's competition, Because it had safety features on it. But excellent review bro.
How much power does the induction charger in this car have?
Yesterday I did a test drive for a Lexus nx 450h in hybrid mode, and I was surprised that for the duration of the test the sound of the electric motors was annoying... Is this normal for the hybrid mode? Another thing I felt was that the suspension system is not quite as good as described in the videos because I I felt it concretely in the street potholes and light bumps. Besides in the volvo xc60 b5 mild hybrid test nothing of this felt no annoying sounds and good behaviour suspensions.
A beautiful car but I'll be keeping my 07 XC70 as long as I can.
I have an 08 XC70, and have been wanting to move into something newer. Like the XC60, but not the idea of a car payment. 🥴
Can someone explain to me the difference between D, B and T in Volvo models?
Thanks for the video. Does it have a better resale value thatn Audi Q5 or BMW X3 ?
Wondering it as well. I was thinking about buying it but something that is important to me is rescale value and maintenance cost. Around where I live, I see mostly BMW X3/X5 and Audi Q5, although there are some Volvos XC60.
When talking about the rear seats, did you forget about the built in booster seat or have they removed those?
That’s a special seat order. Not in all volvos
Is the new infotainment really sluggish and laggy to use? The old Sensus seemed to be more fluid?
It performs well, but is missing some features. It's getting regular OTA updates which add features / stability though
It's My type
Nice and suttle with a sweet sound system
The car looks great!
Can someone tell me which color this is??
9:45 why is there a windows start button in the corner lol?
I almost broke my loaner XC60's engine start stop knob because every time I wanted to turn off the car, i tried to twist the knob leftwards, lol.
9:11 for me i like it better that turn button for start and stop engine.
You are absolutely right, the Q5 model especially with 3 liters and 286 ps. they can't possibly compare! The Q5 is significantly better and of better quality, I've had it for a long time and never changed it for any model! On all terrains It is indisputable, whether the big climbs are slippery and muddy terrains, it is simply invincible! It does not lack comfort and is perfect for longer distances! Many years will pass and even then he will not be found Flat!
This Volvo has 295 hp lol
Both of you are 🔥. Always been a fan of Volvo ever since my first S90 back in 1995, and being Swedish American 🇸🇪. Feel VERY SAFE in a Volvo and the XC60 Inscription is my choice. That said, sadly, soon you’ll find an Audi Q4 EV in my garage because I’m done with internal combustion engine cars. Hopefully the XC60 will be fully EV by 2025 and then I’ll come back to you Volvo. 😊. P.S. I’m 5’11” so reaching the hood isn’t a prob for me. I’m also useful for decorating the top of the Xmas tree. Lmao 😂
Im working in Northvolt Labs in Sweden and we are producing batteries for cars and Volvo is our customer so in 2025 Volvo will have fully EV cars with the greenest batteries ;)
@@Antimatter.2123 how long do those xc60 batteries last? I live in finland and 2019-2018 cars are the most for my budget.
@@dreamtime6090 XC60 battery will often last between 3-5 years, but that depends on battery size, type of battery, weather conditions and driving habits. That model is not using our batteries now but it will in the near future and it will also last longer but im not allowed to give you more information about that yet.
I test drove one before deciding on a MB and the infotainment was horrendous. Not sure if it was new or not but it was buggy, laggy, lackluster, etc.
absolute stunning car. crushing its competitors to dust!
do you rate it better than GLC?
this car is nice but not crushing the competitors.... calm down man. you love the car we get it but why make such ridiculous statements?
In my humble opinion the Audi Q5 is built for those who want luxury, power, speed, accuracy and status. The Volvo XC60 is built for those who seeks comfort, fuel efficiency, safety and looks.
Dude Audi Q5’s are EVERYWHERE. Dime a dozen and very affordable.
@@CB-gi6yr they’re more expensive than Volvo i think
Accuracy? 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@sandersson2813 Maybe Im wrong.
@@tovsteh What the hell do you mean by accuracy? How can a car be "accurate"?
Please review Volvo S60 polestar engineered
My wife had an XC60 diesel 5 cylinder. Was good around capital city. But no service out of that. Unfortunately the electric fuel system let it down. I would get another if I didn't travel a 1000 k's away from capital city. Diesel would do the hole trip on one tank or close enough.
I have this now, send help what’s the M+ button for lol, it’s a rental pleaseee lmk
On the Volvo forums, owners of 2022 Volvos are talking about how the GPS gives out frequently, and they're screaming that the Google OS in the infotainment screen is not ready for prime time...
I've had the 2022 T8 version for 5 months now and there have been zero errors with the screen and GPS.
@ great to hear that!
So cool, and I bought that last year in China. It just B5, Not B6, that`s a pity....
Thinking of trading in my range rover for this. The rangie is such a tank. I hate driving it lol
Volvo make the best cars now thats all im gonna say
beautiful, functional and technically advanced car. Love it! I am with BMW X3 M40i at the moment and it's great. Very different driving experience in those 2 models (car makers).
Btw., I wouldn't be worried about the hood being too high when open :) You know, it forms a triangle when open...
Im about to buy used X3m40i 2018. Tell me how's your experience with it?
LOL- that wide hood opening is a a great feature not found on most other cars. Obviously the OP doesn't care about maintenance and easy access to things since he probably keeps his hands squeaky clean at all times.
Wich color is that?
i have Q5 and its very bumpy, this Volvo is so ugly but i might consider this because its more comfortable to ride.good video!!
appreciate it
I need to see a video for XC90
XC60 B6 make the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 look old.
when you said that it was turbo and supercharged, so it is twin charged?🤔
That’s an easier way of saying it yup
Trying to choose bw volvo xc60 and Q5
Can someone pls recommend?
Been in both. My sister has owned the q5 then q8 and now a S7 and Volvos just feels better.
Please do the 22 XC60 T8 Polestar. I am waiting on delivery of mine at end of the month
I really hope you enjoy it. I drive the s60 polestar engineered. But be ready for disappointment. Top speed limited to 185km/h. I'm not gone say much more except I work there.
@@bmw9146 Thank you for the heads up
@@bmw9146 114 MPH. thats crazy.. I do that in my AMG GLE53 and still have pedal to push more.. I will still get it to save fuel on my daily work commute.
@@glenndavis3313 my big let downs with volvo is the plastic interior. Speed limit and build quality.
First thing you should do. Get a sport air filter. I just installed one on mine. The car picks up speed much better from 35mph. Volvo installs a thick regular air filter on a tuned engine.
@@bmw9146 Thank you
btw XC60s are not all built in Sweden. Canadian market XC60 should be built in China. VIN number starting with L.
Great review. This car really needs physical HVAC controls.
Complexity is not luxurious. And it's certainly less safe.
Keep your hands on the wheel and try using the very good voice command to control HVAC and many other functions. Problem solved.
Voice commands are lame: "Increase heat slightly, turn on defrost, and slightly decrease fan speed please."
He said Bone Thugs and won me over. I'm subscribing 😀😀😀😀😀
You never answered your question: is it better than a Q5 or X3?
Obviously the Volvo
It definitely sounds like a 4 cylinder
Of course it's, No doubt 🧐🧐🧐
Yes, the XC 60 is better. Audi- except for the exterior look- BORING. BMW? Spartan for the money. Volvo has transformed their entire car line into something exciting, comfortable and super fun to drive while maintaining its reputation for safety.
I thought that model has a bowers & Wilkinson audio option
Orrefors is a famous artistic glass manufacturer.
Nice
Amen on the xc60, it's a great car - also Amen on the ridonculous screen-tainment window. Ugh. (xc90 owner)
Let's jump into the screen look is priceless lol. Nice car, screen is way too dated for 2022. You didn't mention the price. Price is very important when doing a review.
Lmao are u joking? It’s one of the best screens in a car
Both screens are pretty much in line with any other manufacture.
You mean that tiny 6 inch screen? Lol That's old school. Not up to standard! Didn't you see him cringe when he mentioned the display? Lol
The screen isn't bad to use. It's like using a tablet and there are no buttons on a tablet. It's really no big deal.
Great cars ... until you want to trade in for next purchase ...
A couple of comments. First of all Apple CarPlay is still not available on these or any other of the Volvo Google screens. It’s a licensing issue. Secondly you never did really compare it much to the Q5, which was disappointing.
Strange. My 2020 xc40 has apple carplay
About Orrefors history
Glass jars for preservation were first manufactured in 19th-century Orrefors. When the social movements and the idea of "more beautiful everyday goods" took hold at the turn of the century, the artists Edward Hald and Simon Gate were invited to the mill. Immediately they create completely new objects with color and engraving. The results are spread around the world via exhibitions, in interiors and as objects of use. The glass from the forest in Småland will soon be unrivaled: This beats everything! Il n´y as que ca! it was proclaimed at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1925.
More artists come to Orrefors, forms are refined and reconsidered. In the hot mass of glass there are endless possibilities - for those who master the skills. The glass that is created today is based on the knowledge generated over more than a hundred years. The very best designers now continue to enchant the world with the brilliance and beauty of glass.
The story of the glass from Orrefors is still being written.
Is this VOLVO's new colour VAPOUR GREY?
Noisy air compressor means cheap. My LR is very quiet. If it is noisy, it needs to be replaced.
Does or will Volvo charge a subscription fee for Google like GMC does?
I believe first 4 years of subscription are included, at least in US market. Paid subscription after that.
