We bought one last week! Very happy with it in general. The android infotainment system is great with Spotify and Google Maps but it occasionally has its issues lags/freezes etc. The air suspensions makes it the most comfortable Volvo I have ever driven but it kinda drives like a boat because of it. We found the GLC too expensive for its interior quality. The X3 was also great but 22/23 models lack crucial features because of chip shortage.

[@tomciopaluch7235]

The Volvo's front drive or Haldex (as in the Passat) puts me off a bit. And the biggest disadvantage of the volvo is that there are no engines above 2.0. I don't know about this model, but in other Volvos the fit of the interior is at a nightmare level, everything creaks when you touch it. Since the Chinese bought them, the quality has dropped dramatically.

Excellen review. Matt, as for the headrest: You cannot move it as on all Volvos. It is higher than most, so it fits all heights. The idea is, that most people do not adjust their headrest completely. Also, the steering wheels on Volvos are manual, so the driver isn not locked in case of a collision when the power is out.

Matt doesn’t understand these things. For example he doesn’t understand why manufacturers fit “soft limiters”.

We owned a 2020 XC60 R-Design, and have just taken delivery of our 2023 B6 Ultimate. Both cars had the maximum configuration. I have to say, I'm not particularly impressed with this iteration. Sure the wireless Android Auto is cool. The trade-offs are however: a less sporty feel (yes, I know, it's a comfort SUV), no self-parking (this was such a nice feature for tight spots downtown), speed limiter at 180 kph (I've gotten, sorry *heard*, our 2020 could get up to 220 with relative ease), the driving mode switching is unnecessarily complicated. It's disappointing to see such changes. Maybe the speed limiter is a Canada only thing.

My XC60 will be delivered feb24. Speed limiter 180km/h as well here in Belgium, and not in Belgium only but all over Europe I guess.

On working days I drive my xc90 b5 diesel 125 kms. A mix of motorways, country roads and town driving. My average is 5.5 litres per 100kms ! This is 51 miles to an imperial gallon.

NEVER be afraid to use terrible puns..!

[@Dazerek]

Looks like decent car in reasonable price (not as high as GLC), love the sarcasit humor of the channel 🤣 Greetings from Poland!

[@Honda_Hooligan]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how terrible the crease looks on Mat's phone?

[@purwantiallan5089]

Yep. Its funny but terrible crease to say the least.

Great video! 👍

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Has to be one of the most dated cars on the market

[@cenciende9401]

One of the dumbest comments on this video

[@adamantal3024]

that monkey at 6:24 in the green jumper looks like an angry bird character

[@SuperG4ndo]

Same old dull crap exterior design. Too conservative for these modern days.

[@doratheexplorer4197]

The 2020 XC60 is way more practical than the later versions and the display is alot better you should do a reveiw on that👍 And it has launch control

[@emikomina]

bitter truth, but its sad to see that you can clearly tell volvo is starting to look more like its chinese counterparts thanks to a chinese company owning volvo itself

[@chachar7458]

Except that the appearance of the XC60 hasn't changed for years, so you'd need to be hallucinating.

[@dalejones3862]

Had my 2012 xc60 6 years best car ever

[@MartinS-tj9it]

I'm not sure about the latest model but in my XC60 T8 in the boot there is a second pair of buttons that allows you to auto fold rear seats. As for the mode change then on the center consol there is a "scroll button", when you press it down it allows you to change the driving modes.

[@IRollEngineer]

Auto fold rear seats function was removed on all Volvos after a tragic accident in the US. Moving the drive mode selection from the scroll wheel to the display was the idea of on of the VP's. He's no longer working for Volvo...

[@Garcia-nj8ov]

Yeah the 2024 doesn’t have that little scroll to change the driving mode (I had the 2020 xc90 so I know exactly what you are referring to…) I was considered at first looking for it lol but it’s in the infotainment system , not a fan of that I much rather the scroll button 🤷🏽‍♀️ but I guess choose your mode before you start driving and that way you don’t have to struggle looking for it…

[@NOTFATEEN]

Man you are a legend car reviewer ❤

[@chrishopkins8215]

Agree re:dials, but i find it easier to change the A/C temp by voice control. You can turn the seat warmer/steering wheel warmer with the same. Dial screen looks better when u click google maps on it so u can use the infotainment screen while getting directions. Dunno about the uk but in aus the car has its own sim card and runs on android operating system, so i havent needed to use android auto via the phone Phone just connects via bluetooth so u can use the phone wirelessly.
