2020 Volvo XC60: FULL REVIEW | R-Design Gets UPDATED for 2020!

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

I think this would be my favorite Volvo. They've come a long way over the last few years with the latest updates as well as the beautiful interior.

[@manunited-ib2il]

Nice! I just picked up my 2020 xc60 t8 inscription from Gothenburg and it's on its way home! So excited!

[@CarConfections]

Congrats! That's awesome!

[@kennethstagg9520]

Sweet! I hope to do the same thing with the same trim line

[@MRGProductions1]

Just leased a 2020 XC60 T6 R-design a couple of months ago and love it! Your review played a part in my decision!

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear it! Congrats!

[@MRGProductions1]

So I broke down and purchased the Polestar chip. Nice little boost to the acceleration and gear shifts!

[@WimalSamarasinghe]

After test driving the BMW X4 30i, we bought the 2020 Volvo XC60 T6 R-design today. We are loyal BMW drivers for decades and a 2017 Z4 is our other car ....but we found this XC60 in T6 spec gave us the drive experience we love in BMWs without the 'giant tortoise' bulky look of the X4. We didn't have to make any compromises with the luxury we are used to with BMW ....but at a much lower price point on this XC60 T6.

[@danishviking6254]

Welcome to the Volvo family. I just added an xc60 to my drive. My other car is the XC90.

[@danishviking6254]

Just bought an XC60. I love it 😍 It looks so cool in front of my house next to my XC90. Both in black.

[@crvdudecrossoverr6367]

gangster black!! 😉

[@JavierH.2023]

I’m from Spain. I’m a Volvo fan and I can say this is a great review from you two guys. It is very well composed and told. And the lines are very well argued. It is clear you know quite a lot Volvos so keep on it. The cars are simply unique, made for unique and cautious drivers and not focused to compite with Audi, BMW or Mercedes. Volvo segment is the segment of good taste and discretion. And also they make f..ing awsome cars! XC60 T8 Polestar my next target. Good job as I said and hoping watch more videos from you. Thank you.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@Anna-mq4qr]

These cars are great. Especially the safety aspect has always really been appealing to me. I’ve driven multiple volvo’s through my father but now bought my first one. Not regretted it a second.

[@danishviking6254]

My dad drove a BMW. So I bought a BMW 5 series. I didn’t like it especially the badge image so sold it. I have driven Volvo ever since. My favourite is the XC90.

[@limpunsing224]

One of the loveliest interior & exterior design in the segment but I'm skeptical on its more powerful complex engines Great video review

[@mitrishski1]

I really like the extra details you bring into your videos as well as the professional sound quality and camera angles.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much! We appreciate that! 😁

[@ojtamayosr]

We just bought a 2020 XC60 T5 Momentum for the wife a couple of days ago, and she loves it, and so do I. For those of you that are considering other makes besides Volvo, the wife's previous vehicle was Mercedes Benz (our third MB) and we shopped the Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Cadillac XT, the brand new Lincoln Corsair and Mercedes GLC. Volvo wasn't even on our radar when we were out shopping and we decided to stop at a Volvo dealer on our way to another brand. Needless to say, after test driving and closely examining the XC 60 both of us were sold. If you are like us that never considered Volvo before, do a yourself a big favor and check out what Volvo has to offer. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. And if matters, the current Volvo XC60 being sold in the U.S is made in Sweden, not China.

[@Mabsusa1]

I think you just sold this to me lol . . I'm buying one for my wife this weekend . .

[@erikbuiten14]

Gemsworld Made in gothenburg, by me and my talented collegues😊. only the s90 is made in china, so not to worry.

[@lexinmotion1013]

Thank you for this feedback. I am in a similar situation, I am driving a BMW x3 and looking to purchase a new vehicle soon. I've been looking at the GLC, X3, Lexus RX, and Acura RDX... but after watching this.. let's just say I'll be test driving the xc60 shortly..

[@islandknight6105]

So, is this really a ladies car?

[@ojtamayosr]

@@islandknight6105, not really. This SUV can be bad ass if you get the performance model.

[@Ralph6126060]

Hi there .. Great videos all around. Wanted to let you know that the sunroof opens a LITTLE bit more if you press back AGAIN when it reached the first stopping point. Appreciate your in depth reviews! Thanks! Subscribed.

[@CarConfections]

We appreciate that! Welcome to the Car Confections family!

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Still a best used SUV for me to buy it today.

[@AndrewKNI]

A beautiful car guys both inside and out. Real class on wheels. :-)

[@macsterguy]

I always like your reactions the first time you jump on the gas pedal. You can always tell when you’re impressed… “Nice”

[@teto85]

2020 XC60 T8 Plug in Hybrid Inscription. Fully loaded. MMMMMMMM. I love it and so does the Mrs., especially the massaging, heated seats.

[@thinkpinkla]

The Ravens in the background confirmed this XC60 is for me ❣️ She’s a gorgeous O can’t wait to upgrade

[@Javas_Dream]

I can’t believe how all of the luxury car brands are cheapening the interiors by cutting out the all leather seats. This is what makes luxury … LUXURY! We really could do without massaging seats and a 360 camera (rear cameras are sufficient), please give us back all leather.

[@johnchristian1323]

Very well done. I purchased the XC60 T6 Inscription model. Great job

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! And congrats on your new XC60! 🙂

[@charliemontero5217]

One of the best options mice design, safe, comfortable, looks very good , the most comfortable seats ever

[@ejohnson3131]

Mice design?

[@thomaswburnsjr5051]

I helped and subscribed, good demo of the XC60. When I can Ill buy one.

[@Itsme-vo4fx]

Why do most reviewers not mention the tablet/computer storage area under each backseat? I love to put my iPad under there when on the road. It keeps it safe and out of site.

[@omarbedair]

Now i have an xc60 and never knew about it. One more thing to love about this beautiful car.

[@olidiagomez5163]

I feel end love with my 2020 Volvo is beautiful inside and out😘

[@airyellle]

Do you have some pics of it on insta?

[@rickyloganjr.2362]

Excellent review 👌

[@chinchujain]

Good review👏👏👏👏👏 wow!

[@raph0412]

Did you ever decide on the car you're buying? Keep up the great videos!

[@CarConfections]

Not yet! We have an update video coming Thursday though!

[@velboone6041]

What a handsome SUV..

[@morsinimicis3930]

I have a 2019 Volvo XC-60 R-Design and love it. It has plenty of power with its TC & SC 4-banger, and it’s beautiful inside and out. Only things I don’t like are the slow startup times for the infotainment system and the odd squeak I sometimes hear coming from the passenger seat when someone is in it. Oh, and its price; ours tipped the scales at a tad under $60k. We also cross-shopped the new RDX A-Spec, but found the Volvo to be smoother and more refined.

[@kurtrankin]

Hey guys. Considering BMW X4 (M40i) and Volvo XC60 (T6). Driving a 435i manual transmission currently. Interested in your take on DECELERATION in automatic transmissions on the models I'm looking at. BMW loaner while getting service (330i) felt forced/jarring to me as it geared down toward a full stop.

[@CarConfections]

We haven't driven the M40i but we have driven the X3 M. That being said, BMW tunes the transmissions to downshift aggressively to help with the sporty feel. The XC60 doesn't have that feel and is more refined in the deceleration. But all in all, it is less sporty, so it's something to think about

[@TallRedThang]

Great Review

[@patrickscanlon1537]

If you guys get to 100k you should do merchandise!

[@CarConfections]

Yeah we will probably make some special merch once we reach the milestone!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, great review as always!😸

[@CarConfections]

Thanks as always 😊

[@hortizonen]

You can tighten up and increase the weight of the steering in the “car” settings. Makes a huge difference in the complaint about light steering.

[@valeasorin]

Can you tell me if Volvo re touched the “issue” from the 2018 xc60 regarding rear doors opening angle? I know the rear doors were not opening at a big angle.... from your video it looks like something changed but I am not sure. Thanks

[@shredfactor7]

Why no USB in the rear seats. Thats super odd

[@Ricketts17]

What do you think about the fact it's only 2.0 L (diesel) and not 3.0 L. Do you think the car is too heavy for the engine? It is bad?

[@JulezWinnfield]

This one also has the Polestar Software Optimization badge on the rear liftgate.

[@fkillah]

How easy is it to change the temperature settings? It seems like you have to press 5 different buttons just to change the AC

[@Benjamin-vd9dp]

This is my dream car and I hope that my dream will come true in near future. But COViD ruined all of it😑

[@krissk77]

I like everything about the suv 34:13 xc60.... only one issue... im not a fan of sunroofs....never liked them and cant do convertibles. So will be going for one without a sunroofs unkess its standard. WHITE or silverv tone colours only🎉 drove the 2017 diesel model and its was quieter.. realised I was doing plus 200km/h on our Kenyan highway. Escaped booking by traffic police😊

[@JuveLock]

Very nice car , thanks guys 👍

[@rudolphmartin533]

How many USB ports on total.... front And rear?

[@darriontunstall3708]

I like the 2020 XC 60, it’s nice!!!

[@everestgilbert15]

Totally worth it!!😍

[@derkleinekerl2401]

Note that the panorama roof and the 4-zone-climate-control arent‘t standard in the Mild-Hybrid version of the 2020 XC60 R-Design ;)

[@dustinm8800]

Is the 2020 wired or wireless android auto?

[@phonomime]

NEW GAME! - drink a shot every time he says "across"

[@CarConfections]

That's a dangerous idea 😂

[@ta5777]

Do you personally prefer the Volvo XC60 T6 or the Acura RDX? Thanks!

[@CarConfections]

I prefer the XC60 if price is not important, but the RDX is definitely a better value

[@ta5777]

@@CarConfections Seems like XC60 may be safer also with the enhanced steel frame Volvo uses.

[@Thisisyourconfirmation]

What is the difference between the 2019 and the 2020?

[@ajaroberts44]

Lovely but seems noisy and bumpy. Great price point for this class.

[@lunacave]

Looks like quite the noisy, bumpy ride to me. My guess is that the lower class Subaru Forester will be a calmer ride overall. Hard to believe these guys never comment on such details.

[@CarConfections]

We did comment on that...which is more reliable than what you can see through the camera

[@TTOORROONNTTOOful]

seriously? Subaru is not into noise reduction. only symmetrical all wheel drive is their top priority

[@watdaphuk3668]

Nonsense. I'm 65 years old and have driven em all. This is hands down (XC60 Inscription) the most comfortable vehicle I have driven! Absolutely beautiful inside & out!!

[@simonwei2480]

Beware! My 2019 Volvo XC60 sunroof leaked less than 3 years old caused my car flooded, and Volvo Canada denied warranty!

[@GlenJDiamond]

it's a nice looker - it's a shame that the 4 cylinder diesel at idle sounds like a farm tractor

[@8585raghu]

How was the cabin noise while driving xc60? I see many reviews as lot of cabin noise compared to other models like Q5 or a GLC

[@CarConfections]

Yes it does have more noise into the cabin than the German competitors

[@cwalter05]

How do you turn on the white screen mode in Sensus?

[@CarConfections]

It's an option in the display settings

[@HuyNguyen-ll7jv]

Why Volvo does’t design the ambient light system like German cars which i really like it..

[@haithamashraf9292]

good job

Thanks!

[@patricioguerrerortiz369]

Towing capacity? Anticipated annual cost of O&M?

Saw one last week towing a horse trailer with one horse in it...

[@KuyaArbee]

Is there a quicker way to turn on the 360 camera???

[@erikbuiten14]

Kuya Arbee it will come on as fast as you sit in your car and start driving slowly

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Such a beautiful car but expensive to maintain

[@brianusa394]

How about doing a review of the Volvo Care program it seems to make getting a Volvo very affordable with no long term commitment. It’s just for 2 years with an option to go for a different vehicle after 1 year .

[@IDontKnowHer212]

Although this is a sexy vehicle, in my opinion, I think it should have more horsepower without being the hybrid.

[@Noah-ui1iu]

Trying to sample a vehicle's sound system through a video is pointless. Everyone is listening on different devices with different speakers and in the end they all sound the same.

[@CarConfections]

If you have good speakers or nice headphone you can tell the difference. From editing them, we know that some measure of quality can be discerned, maybe not molecular level, but at least good, bad, best etc.

[@dustinm8800]

Did you boys enjoy this vehicle? Mason/Drew? You prefer this over BMW?

[@PugLifeRocks]

It sounds so loud with the engine running...like a 10yr old car. I found that a little odd.

[@peterbaeyens2153]

Undertitling is a bit bizarre: this is about the "R - Design", not 'our design' nor 'art design'...

[@CarConfections]

😐 smh

[@rickyloganjr.2362]

Drew and Mason 😄, there's nothing like a Volvo, and Mason I'm curious about how comfortable are the seats as you said. The XC60 seems very roomy, I couldn't really tell but did the model you two reviewed have led fog lights? Drew, have you found a replacement for your Toyota Camry yet?

[@CarConfections]

Yes it does have LED fog lights on the R-Designs 👍

[@rickyloganjr.2362]

[@knightowl3778]

Volvo and their refusal to use bigger engines (6 cal or 8 cyl) is a turn off for me. All those twin and super chargers will require a lot of upkeep

[@assarstromblad3280]

@Alfs Awful agreed. Turbos do not require that much upkeep at all, just look at the early volvo turbo models, they are still going strong even today after many many years of hard work. People are always so pessimistic...

[@dylanst3802]

I've had one with that engine for 3 years and I've had absolutely no need for upkeep or any problems with the engine whatsoever it's been great and super powerful

[@assarstromblad3280]

@@dylanst3802 fun thing is, Volvo cars has some of the most reliable engines from my experience. All the volvo cars we have had never needed any service between the occasional planned service occasions, even when going long distances in between. The BMW we have now however, has needed multiple oil changes, had engine problems and unexpected issues that none of the volvos ever had.

[@erikbuiten14]

you domt know much about cars. Bmw and merceders have 200 visists to the service center while volvo had 66... so you just seem to assume but just look at the facts and make everybody a favour

[@muchomalo100]

I can tell you one thing....the front headlights are not working properly...

[@frippesfrilla7592]

Yeah they do. What's wrong in your opinion? The flickering of the signal lights? Or when there is no white beam? That is because it's only day running light whitch turns of in the direction you are signaling. Just wondering I dont mean to be a rude asshole.

[@hgyala]

Volvo logo does not seem good and attractive. Volvo should remove cross line from it's logo.

[@danishviking6254]

I disagree. Without the cross bands it looks like the Nissan logo a bit too much.

[@hgyala]

@@danishviking6254, it might or might not look like Nissan. But it will give a new look to Volvo. If you see most of car makers have round shape/circular shape, but Volvo can give a different shape and make it better

[@danishviking6254]

@@hgyala I know what you mean but Volvo is not know for copying the others. I think they are quite happy being a bit different and I thinks that’s ok. But I agree they they need a new look and by that I mean image. This is best done with some good marketing and advertising. It would be amazing if they could appeal to a younger market. The XC40 does exactly that. The emblem has also changed to a solid flush black iron symbol which looks refreshed and very modern. Their saloons/sedans are still driven predominantly by the more mature population and that is the image that (if anything) is putting the young drivers off from buying Volvos.

[@hgyala]

@@danishviking6254 Completely agreed. I would also not expect copying, Volvo car and its designing platform is on the best in its segment. But need at least some refreshment now, so I thought to pick its logo to be changed..
