[@eloisethomas2943]

Very nice review. Much success with the channel. Excellent job.

Thanks, we appreciate that!

[@lisola]

I owned a 2018 XC60 Inscription. They not only ditched the Leather fob covers but they only include 1 *real* key with the car. For the luxury segment this seems like a major blow. The orange key locks the ability to change the Driver Profile so if your spouse unlocks with that key you're locked and can't switch back to the other driver's settings.

Stop start is more for reducing co2 emissions while idling. I actually do like the electronic selector as it has a very solid feel (new tech) and it takes up so much less space against the console and it’s controls than you’d have with a normal auto shifter. Great cars, great video. 👍🏾

[@jonm3255]

We have a 2015 XC60 T5 with stop-start that is very annoying, so the hybrid start up a couple of mpg is a nice improvement.

[@tengkhiamong7200]

Thank you so much for your great information on B5 momentum. Should I buy T5 momentum now or wait for B5 in 2022? Will AC compressor will be switched off automatically during stop and start? Expensive to replace the mild hybrid unit in the future?

[@CarConfections]

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the review! The auto start stop system is better in the B5 model and doesn't seem to interfere with the AC as much as the T5 model. As far as repair costs, it's really too early to know if it makes a difference

[@73willyg]

In aus they option the momentum the same as your inscription minus the Napa leather

[@OrionAerospaceKSP]

I believe the annoying shifter is for safety. Accidentally shifting into into drive or reverse when you intended the opposite could be dangerous. This is more important when parking. I agree with putting neutral in between drive and reverse, even if it adds an extra step.

[@MichaelReeves412]

Hey there! Volvo Employee for 4+ years. Although it could be considered for safety, it is primarily to reduce space needed for a traditional shifter and tends to be more reliable on account of it being primarily electronic - whereas the prior automatic shifter could face potential mechanical issues (we haven’t had really any at all but going to a more reliable electronic option never hurts). Volvo loves to perfect things, even things that aren’t broken in the first place just to “future-proof” their vehicles. Some people find it’s ‘different’ at first, but after a drive or two our clients pick up on it VERY quickly. Like the touch screen, it’s a lot easier than the first impression may give

[@OrionAerospaceKSP]

@@MichaelReeves412 Thanks for the reply! I was more talking about the decision to place neutral in-between drive and reverse. I'm not sure, but because people are complaining about it, this must not be the setup on some other cars. Is that intentional?

Glad I got the diesel xc2021 before it left. I just don’t like the new system. Also overseas options cheapen the momentum. In aus all of the optional packages are already put into the base aside from the inscription options, Nap leather and heating and cooling seats.

[@FungiFilmReviews]

[@CarConfections]

According to Volvo, that will be enabled in an upcoming software update

[@Littleathquakes]

such an improvement. standard active bending headlights & foglights across all trims. used to be reserved for the top Inscription & R design trims. Always silly to me that you pay so much even for a Momentum trim and still without foglights.

[@KuyaArbee]

A fully loaded momentum trim in any Volvo is a rip off! You’re better at negotiating a deal for the other trim levels in any current volvo car

[@ivanlowjones]

@@ivanlowjones nope! You can get a fully loaded r design or inscription with the same options for about the same for the momentum trim

[@ivanlowjones]

@@KuyaArbee Please provide a website link to support your outrageous claim. A fully loaded T6 Inscription or R-Design will always sticker higher than a well equipped Momentum trim unless the dealership is offering big discounts to clear inventory. A T5 FWD R-Design with mid level options vs a T6 AWD Momentum with all the available option boxes checked might be comparably priced.

I am considering a mild hybrid or PHEV Volvo , currently lease XC40, but we are in the South, we use the AC maybe 10 out of 12 months, and it seems that the AC compressor turns off , while fan continues with engine Off, so until switch to an Electric Compressor for AC in Gas engines I don't see how this would be attractive to people in warmer climates ,Arizona, Florida, Texas etc.

[@kyrilslate3851]

The XC40 Recharce (pure electric) is the only Volvo model currently available with an electric A/C Compressor. Otherwise for all Volvos equipped with Start/Stop, disabling it from the infotainment touch screen is the only way to keep the compressor constantly running.

[@biancasopron3926]

[@Paul-of-House-Shibley]

Trying to decide between a XC 60 21 and 22. I think I like the 21 mostly because the new infotainment system just seemed a step back. I also thought the acceleration in the T5 was better than the B5. What would you choose?

[@CarConfections]

Personally, I'd choose the 2022 because I appreciated the smoothness of the mild hybrid and the upgraded gauges in particular

[@kyrilslate3851]

The new infotainment is definitely not there yet but that's actually because it's designed by Google and will be updated over time. If you go with the 21 you have basically the pinnacle of what that infotainment will ever be, and you will need to go to the dealer in order to have your maps and guidance system updated. The 22 model has Google Maps build in and will be automatically updated with more apps as they get created for the new Operating System. So, in truth, your choice lies between something fully optimized, and something full of possibilities. For me personally nothing even remotely comes close to Google maps as far as guidance so I'd choose a 22.
