Yes it’s very underrated I love it

[@MattTheCarguy]

Awesome Suv, thanks for watching!

Same here. I own the XC60 in the Inscription package. Towards the end of the video, he tested the Volvos engine performance. Try testing it in "Dynamic Mode " believe me, you'll be taken back in your seat when you stomp on the gas at a red light. I have the T5 engine....all the horsepower I need. My only complaint is that stupid start/stop feature!! Uggghh!!! I live in South Florida and AC is a necessity. At a stop light the engine shuts off and since the compressor is not spinning, the vents suddenly blow warm humid air until I let my foot off the brake. I know I can deactivate this feature, but I have to do it every time I start the vehicle. Mine is Pearl White with Blond interior and overall...I am very happy with my Volvo.

These are great vehicles. Lots of people complain about the start/stop feature. Manufacturers should have add a permanent off button for it instead of having it on by default every time you start the vehicle. i have a feeling it has to do something with their epa gas mileage ratings that it has to be on by default. Thanks for watching!

You can turn that off you know

[@MattTheCarguy]

@@coryjoseph2902 Can you turn it off in settings... for good? Or do you have to do it every time you start the vehicle?

[@coryjoseph2902]

@@MattTheCarguy yes look in your settings I believe it in your settings

[@cjohn903]

@@MattTheCarguy Yes. On my 2021 XC60 T5, the auto start-stop can be switched off once, and you never have to do it again. It stays off, even after a restart.

Very nice review...covers most of the important details without getting bogged down in the minutia. I have this very car (in black) and love it!

[@MattTheCarguy]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. It means a lot. Great car!

[@prepperminded5732]

Same here. When I retired, I treated myself to a luxury SUV. It was a toss up between the Cadillac XT5 and the Volvo XC60....I chose the Volvo for its reliability and safety.

[@MattTheCarguy]

Great SUV. ENJOY!!

[@jackyong815]

Blown away by how Volvo has rejuvenated since acquired by Geely of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad

[@joneslukas]

Are you paid by Geely? You are in every Volvo video!

hi thanks for the vedio . can you pleas explain what is the deffirence between b4,b5,b6 t5,t6,t8 it is make alot of confise to the person who want to buey volvo vichel. second question i hissetate between volvo xc60 b5 and lexus NX 350h.. so can you help me to take a desigen what car should i choose for my self? i am 60 years old who drive gently and change vichels every decade and even more. pleas your help.

[@MattTheCarguy]

Thank you for watching! I can see how that be confusing. B5, B6, T8 are engines that are available for the XC60. B5 and B6 replaced T5 and T6 from previous years with the addition of mild hybrid system. B5 is the base engine least powerful of the three than B6 and T8 is plug in hybrid which would give you the ability to go about 35 miles on all electric motor. It also has the most power and is most expensive. For most people B5 would be enough. Both Lexus and Volvo make great vehicles but they are very different in the way they drive. My suggestion would be driving both and choosing the one that feels the best. Lexus also has Hybrid models. For everyday use you may not need to choose the performance version. Start with base and work your way up as you are test driving Both are great choices.

@@MattTheCarguy thank you very much gor your nice and clear explenation ... You are right if i dont go for lexus i may beuy the B5 plus bright version of volvo .. the t8 is a punch ecpensiv . Thank you for you honest advice.
