They pretend like they are no none sense straight shooting bunch but so consumed with image cant see a sensible estate cars even if a v70 tank drove right over them.

@@nicolasshaffer3161 I follow the V60 since the first day it was shown in 2018 and waited till the hybrid is available in my country, I have driven the V60 a month ago as a D4, and could test the T8 with the B&W sound system in a XC90. What can I say other than: I am going to buy the full package. The T8 has enough power to accelerate the XC90 like the D4 the V60 and it was awesome. The T8 is quiet on the inside and the sound system is so good, my gf, who doubted why would you pay 3k on a sound system, said to get the system so she can use it. Also the seats have to be mentioned too. I was "test sitting" in many cars, and I disliked the seats in all Mercedes and only other seats I liked are the sport seats in the BMW 5 series. In Volvo you can sit for hours without any feelings of backpain. yeah... just waiting for my promotion papers, so I can afford it

I have had two wagons. 1990 E300 MBZ and in 2006 purchased a 2006 Volvo V70R. I use a wheelchair so a vehicle that is easy to get in is critical. SUVs are to high. Also if I’m with someone they don’t need to dismantle the wheelchair. They place it in the back. Even if I started walking tomorrow I would still own a wagon. All the benefits of a SUV but it drives like a car not a truck. The Europeans have it right. Wagons over SUVs. BTW: my V70R is a beast to drive. 300 hp turbo and Brembo brakes. What’s not to love. I’ll keep this V70R until an all electric wagon works for me. Did I mention it has a 15 inch sub woofer in the back under the spare.

I am so glad that Volvo continues to provide good Wagons in the states. I drove a 2003 XC70 (Volvo's lifted version of the V70) as my first car and really liked it. I especially loved the 5 cylinder engine in it and have been super sad ever since they discontinued it. It makes sense why they did especially for fuel economy reasons as they could never get the efficiency they wanted out of it. I wished Volvo could make their powertrains in their cars actually reliable and easy to fix. This "twin charged" engine sound like a nightmare to diagnose problems.

I have the exact same light colored interior in my Volvo XC90. Just protect the leather and I get it detailed twice a year with a really good detailer. I've had my vehicle for 3 years and it's look no worse for wear than a black colored interior. Not perfect but good enough where no one notices at all. When you buy a car like this, you'll be detailing it regularly anyway, so don't be afraid of the light colored interior, it's totally worth it!!

Totally agree on adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability. My parents’ 2020 CX-5 has it and I use it even in traffic jams. It just takes away the stress of constantly monitoring the traffic and adjusting throttle and brakes. After using that system, going back to my 2018 Mazda 3’s adaptive cruise control without stop-and-go made me missing that feature. Makes driving so much easier and stress free.

The FOUR-C adjustable suspension isn't meant to make the ride more comfortable than the nonadjustable suspension; the ECO and Dynamic modes are why you'd want it. Remember the FOUR-C suspension from the P2 generation cars was harsher in comfort than the nonadjustable suspension cars, but it gave you Comfort, Sport, and Dynamic settings.

I knew this review was coming and I couldn't wait for it. I'm a Volvo fan (not 100% pleased with the current direction of the company) and I own the ancestor of this car, the 1990s Volvo V40. I'm also a fan of wagons. I actually see a lot of its DNA in this, even the overall side profile looks very similar, of course with much larger dimensions for the newer model. I saw multiple people complain about the ride quality. I think it's due in part to the wheel and tire size, which are just too big IMO. Since this is not a sports car, wheels that are a tad smaller could improve the ride without damaging the handling too much. I really wish Volvo would still offer 5 cylinder options, but with the insane emissions standards we have in Europe (and China) these days, it would be almost impossible for such a small company. Otherwise, I really love this car. The interiors look amazing, the exterior looks so much better than an SUV, and it's all around an amazing luxury family car.

Volvo, since I can remember, has this quality of a strong rebound but seemingly less compression than they should have in terms of their shock damping to spring rates. I think they need to work on that. It's revealed over certain types of roads only. I don't think it is a matter of the tires, it's the rebound and compression. Maybe the suspension can use more travel but I think it's more to do with compression/rebound.

There are 3 audio setups available from Volvo in the US: standard 10-speaker hi-fi; 14-speaker Harmon Karden (standard with Inscription, I believe, otherwise $800); and the Bowers and Wilkins, $3200 upcharge from the HK, $4000 upcharge from the standard system. If you do sign on an audio pro to rate systems, I hope you'll test the standard setups from various brands as well, to truly judge the value.

I have a 2004 V70R (wagon). This is a great looking successor for the avid R enthusiasts IMO. It looks great, it is stylish/simple/elegant, and it's versatile. My 2004 is undoubtedly heavy, but the power of the 5-cyl turbo is plenty fun and the practicality of the cargo space is unmatched. I have a 2012 STi Hatch as well. For reference, with both lift gates closed, the V70R fits 10ft lumber, while the STi fits 8ft lumber. That's how you know it's a true wagon...it's just that much more practical than the modern day hatchback/5-door. This V60 maintains that. Love it!

Two things I didn't like about the Volvos I have driven: 1) No visor adjustment to block sun on the side windows. The sun was always hitting me when it was on the east or west of the car. 2) On center steering. I was always correcting the steering to bring back to center of the lane. I noticed on your test drive you were doing the same. You could see the subtle on center adjustments you were making to keep the car straight. Most cars require this from time to time, but it is constant on Volvos.

I had the chance to drive some Volvos as an interim courtesy driver until a few years ago. I drove quite a few different models from the old 240 to the still current XC90. While they look nice and aren't a bad place to be in, and they're fairly realiable, the ride of Volvos has always been pretty harsh on anything but the smoothest road. That and the touchscreen and lack of physical controls for the basics would keep me away from buying one. My dad once told me a story of a workshop manager, or some such title, where he worked, who was a staunch Volvo fan. One day, for whatever reason, he decided to get a company car instead; a Renault 16 (yeah, this goes back!). Within a week, the manager's wife, who hadn't noticed the car change, commented: "Have they resurfaced the road?!" They hadn't! 😄 Bad as the Renaults were, their suspensions were much more compliant than any Volvo.

Here in Europe, you can get a D3 diesel with a manual. It has 150 horsepower, and FWD. But still, a manual V60 sounds crazy today.

What a great review. And yes, because I just bought a preowned S60 I want to slather myself in baby oil and roll around in it. But it’s not as rollable as this V60. So I guess flopping around like a fish will have to do.

Miss my V50 and didn't care for the previous and DATED generation - this car is gorgeous, bigger and I am leaning toward the Cross Country even though you can only get the T5 motor. Funny he hammered the suspension, it's why I eventually got rid of my V50 which had the Premium and Sports packages (lower suspension and bigger wheels) it had a BRUTAL ride. From what I have gathered so far the CC may not be as stiff but I need to drive one soon...if they EVER get to Utah!

I own the new V60CC version as well as a one-year-old xc60. Excellent review, I do agree pretty much with all of it. I did downgrade my wheels on the xc60 form 19's to 18's - a good move - and the higher platform of the SUV does seem to have a bit more give and absorption than the wagon. The CC wagon being higher up might also add a touch of give compared to the straight wagon (won't see many of the regular wagon in US). Volvo keeps getting better, these cars are a big move upward and the wagon is a particularly refined machine, maybe more than the xc60. But as he points out in the review, they need now as they have for several generations to up their game on suspension, and while they are certainly improving, they don't match the best out there. That said I am still very much enjoying both our Volvo cars and my wife considers the 2020 V60 CC wagon the best car she's ever had.

They need to get it right. You can't play upmarket without ride suppleness over harsh pavement. If the stiff riding German cars can get it right, Volvo can. They need to make it a priority.

This is a big upgrade over the last generation. I had a 2015 V60 with the Sport package and it was a good car, but this is so much better looking and sophisticated. It's too bad the ride still isn't that great, that was one of the biggest complaints I had with it. Mine had the 19" wheels it was terrible over bumps.

I get it volvo is not a nervous quick german car ready to fire "sorry for the joke" but it's like more a relaxing kind of car in every sense even drivin it!
