HAHAHAHA Thomas you are such a conservative German but I love your reviews. The white colour is stunning on that car and like you said the blue is also nice. The 19" wheels are rather blend for me and would have the 21" wheels and just leave the car on comfort mode because its not really meant to be sporty like its competitors. However I do think there is too much black on the R-Design and the beige colour on the Inscription looks better and more inviting, I feel it shows the beautiful interior in a better light. GREAT review as always.

[@Darkhoof]

You forgot to add the Alfa Romeo Stelvio to that list. ;)

[@Blue_8800]

Autogefühl waiting for your Velar review too!

[@myslecinaczej8674]

realistically Toyota RAV 4 will give you more comfort at the back seats that this Volvo and possibly other "premium cars"" The reason for that are simply adjustable rear seats in the Toyota...this is a real comfort feature. This cannot be replaced by any volvo design...no matter how beautiful is this.

Thomas always gives the best insight into the full details of every car he reviews. This was on my shortlist with the BMW X3 but won through! The X3 was too hard for my family. Just ordered my XC60 R Design with the B4 AWD drivetrain The only problem is that I have to wait 3 months for delivery now. Thanks again Thomas!

+Autogefuhl - As always Thomas, a really detailed video, many thanks indeed. I like the bright interior - nice. But steering wheel & carpets won't last long. 27:45 polite horn use. At 39:30 we never found out what that alarm was! They haven't tried to make it too sporty. Good. They've got their priorities right. I wouldn't trade comfort for handling on this type of car. Keep up the fantastic work Thomas and Team.

[@myslecinaczej8674]

Volvo was competent to pack all of the hight tech in the very minimalistic style. Kudos for them! BMW and the others are so distracting with over complex interior design and control features, tons of buttons, so many lights . Yes, it looks so technical but actually is so confusing and not a modern approach to deliver smooth and reliable car control ! German are about pseudo luxury. Volvo is clear winner in this category.

Try to have a look at some leasing in a year or two for a second hand vehicle with mid level equipment.

[@fmsantoscar]

49:12 according to my dealership the XC60 doesn’t come with the automatic cover like the V90. It goes up when you open the trunk but you ave to move it down again manually.

[@autogefuehl]

awww, really too bad !

[@Tomygarmar]

In the S90 T5 we have (petrol with 4 cilinders and 254hp) we are averaging about 7.5-8 liters/100 km in 16.000 km (75% highway, 15% main roads and 10% city). Fuel consuption in this engine depends a lot on how you drive it (usually we use Confort drive mode). 0-100 in 6.4s, by the way Nice video, as always ;)

[@ryanlittleton5615]

I prefer the exterior of the R-Design, but the interior of the Inscription.

[@hermitld]

That light interior is too prone to staining, for instance @ 7:45 notice the black scuff mark! It's a Volvo so I like it, just not that light colored interior.

[@Siper2]

Just gave you your 1,000th Like on this video - cool. :-) I love your content, thanks very much for all you do! Looking forward to watching this one; I agree that the new XC60 is the best-looking SUV out there at the moment.

[@autogefuehl]

nice =)

[@Jeff-or6em]

You said couple times if you want more head room get without panoramic sunroof. I watch other 2018 xc60 KZbin videos and some say panoramic sunroof is standard equipment in all trim levels. So can you get a 2018 xc60 without panoramic sunroof ? Maybe different in USA or overseas?

[@BomJai]

Because of Thomas, I made a conscious decision to avoid animal skin products on my new car--thanks for changing my mind on animal skin "leather".

[@autogefuehl]

great to have you caring!

[@brucec43]

Pretty hard to make the hamburgers and steaks w/o using the hide as well.

[@autogefuehl]

you could also turn this argument around, like "let vegans eat meat because the cow is killed for the hide anyway" - u see that this argument is made up by the meat eating industry to make you feel good about your consumption. It doesnt matter why someone is killed, the life itself is what matters.

[@FactPointVideo]

While I respect your opinion, it's a mistake to confuse human life with animal life. It's not correct to say "someone" is killed when referring to an animal.

[@RightWing1]

Same here, my Passat R-line has synthetic leather and race fabric

Do you have any Autogfühl merchandise we can buy? I love your reviews, they are well made, calm & composed, full of detail and observations on feel and mood. I've used your comments on packages and equipement when I ordered my last car. I'd buy a Autogfühl t-shirt with "Animal skin" text on the front in a heartbeat!

[@autogefuehl]

hehe we have to consider it yeah =)

[@BenMJay]

It is a beautiful car. Mine in in the deep red. But i think this is the sharpest color. .. I wish Volvo would bring back the British Racing green. I also prefer the interior styling of the previous years with the floating console and the non-touchscreen. I like buttons and knobs.

[@Colin623]

Brilliant video, probably the best road test I've ever seen on KZbin ! so well done Thomas, I felt I was actually driving the car, and know the ins and outs without even sitting in one !! I love this car, wish I could afford one, even the Momentum would be great, as you have cloth seats centres which I prefer especially in winter, my wife hates the leather in winter on my Volvo V70 so cold, and roasting in summer !! Thomas can you please add a night driving segment when testing a car ? as this is so important for me and many others who wear glasses, I have heard that the led headlights are superb !! a great asset in winter !

[@autogefuehl]

love to hear that! Feel free to recommend us! Yes indeed the fabric seats are superior! Often we usually get the cars during daytime...

[@Phantom096]

colinf1951 Yes they are superb LED headlights at night.

[@gareyris345]

Great, thorough review, Thomas. Excellent comment about pricing. It's called country pricing, and automakers will charge what the market will bear. Your €80,000 price would be $120,000 in Canada. But the Inscription trim of the 2018 XC60 here, with a pile of options (diesel not available), would sell for about $80,000 after tax, or about €53,000. One small quibble with your review. You mentioned shifting gears to slow the car when going down hills. I learned years ago at driving school to never use the engine as a brake. That's what brakes are for. Take care, and keep up the excellent work!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks garey! woah that would be some price! Hm well engine brake is useful when you have a long long braking procedure ahead so the normal brakes wont overheat. You do both, engine brake and normal brakes at same time

[@andymiles5156]

Very useful review. I wish the UK dual carriageways were as pothole and litter free as the road in your video.

[@tsint]

You know you are too early when the video is still in 360p :)

[@kingfisher111]

[@shopafelic]

Great video with plenty of commentary, as with past reviews. Would it be possible to add a segment to discuss and film the interior and exterior lighting of vehicles in future reviews, such as by taking it into a dark parking lot?

[@CalvinHikes]

Aesthetically inside and out this is a very beautiful car. Not sure I'd want a white interior or Volvo drivetrain but the car looks great.

[@tw2210]

Fantastic review as always. Very thorough and professional. Thank you.

[@autogefuehl]

+Tim Waters 👍👍

[@RightWing1]

It makes me smile when a car of this size is described as a "compact SUV"!! I compared one of these to a VW Passat Estate but on a top spec version XC60 the price became way too much but I did like the quirkiness of the central console, and when my old boss told me what he paid for a set of tires, that was me out.

[@RightWing1]

I forgot to add the salesman at our local Volvo dealer was very unhelpful considering I was looking at a £35k+ car, and the options on certain wheels were limited, for example I detest black wheels but that's all I was told I could have on the R-design oh and I could only choose blue, white or black/grey on the R-line models, with horrible black interiors. I would have to drop to the Inscription model to be able to get the lighter interiors and I didn't want 22" wheels or a white steering wheel. The salesman didn't do anything to try and accommodate close to the spec I wanted, so I walked.

[@value2127]

[@petejr7583]

Excellent highly detailed review Thomas, the best I've seen on this vehicle! I find this SPA XC60 aesthetically the best in class inside and out. Thank you Volvo for adhering closely to the XC Coupe Concept design cues! I love the sharp edged prominent rear "Swedish Hips" and lovely tail light design. Of course who doesn't love the Thor's Hammers? I would probably opt for the Bursting Blue or Fusion Red color, but the Denim Blue appears to be a nice color for the more conservative personalities who still want some flavor (just say no to tarmac cammo). As for interior, Volvo wisely borrowed much from the well received '14 concept cars with the lower dash trim lip and vertices air "blades" as example. Not much to complain about here except Volvo should have added more interior color choices for the R-Design, a bit more rear cargo behind the second row, and more redundant controls for key systems like AC vent speed and stereo channel selection. Our current XC60 is the 3.0lL turbo 6, so we would find the "growling" 4 cylinder less than satisfactory, less than premium. How would you compare the Volvo T6 Drive-e to the Mercedes GLC 43 or SQ5 V6 turbo? How would you compare the R-Design suspension comfort to those? I would not trust the autonomous driving at higher speeds, though in traffic it is fine; we use the previous generation Active Cruise Control and like it. I'm just completely against letting the car manage the steering direction also at speed. I don't trust the system to manage so many variable roads conditions, and I also feel it disengages the driver's attention from driving safely/defensively in case of system failure/glitch. I am all for emergency collision avoidance steering and brakes however. Overall, very nice execution Volvo! This XC60 should remain the top seller in class in Europe, and steal market share from Lexus in the US. Ciao!

[@autogefuehl]

Havent driven the R-Design suspension on that new model, gotta check it out. The Volvo engines are surely the weak point, thats why its good that they go in the electric direction. Thanks for your customer feedback!

[@bluehome8193]

I was on the verge of buying a V90, but this new Volvo interior - although beautiful - is too much "old man's car" for my taste. Also, during the test drive, I found the touch screen a bit distracting compared to the rotary dials in other brands. Unfortunately, the new Audi A8 no longer has the rotary dial, so it seems Audi is taking the Volvo route when it comes to touch screens. Guess Mercedes and BMW will follow too at some point. Why not just put a place holder for an ipad and allow users to plug in their own tablet :-)

[@AlektronPrime]

I am not an SUV customer, I don't get the point, having that said, an Alfa Stelvio, Jaguar F-Pace or an XC60 II could change my mind. I like the D5 with the power pulse solution that makes the engine punchy and removes the turbo lag - had to test it myself to believe it. I appreciate the two rubber lips/seals under the doors, the drive mode selector with that crystal pattern (dynamic is quite ok) quite well noise insulation (thicker foil specs in the windshield and reshaped door mirrors)... Nice touch materials, nice place to be and nice to look at on the road too. 426hp version from Polestar coming - wow! Wait, I don't really care lol Great review Thomas, thank you very much indeed.

[@alastairdand]

Hello everyone, thanks again to our friend Thomas for a really complete review. A few ideas / questions / items for discussion : - these days people just get in the car and drive; could a car actually learn a driver's preference based on location ? or do we still have to choose between "sport, dynamic" and so forth ? - autonomous driving is still in the early days and will only make sense when the majority of cars offer that service; that begs a major question --- -- -- could we avoid traffic congestion (Germany, France, UK) thanks to autonomous cars that communicate with each other ?

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! the gps learns the route habits indeed, but so far not the driving modes, good idea traffic jams and car numbers in general could be seriously reduced by autonomous vehicles and sharing a ride, that's the projection for the future

Hi. Do you plan on doing a review of the new Maxus vans like eDeliver 3 eDeliver 9 and Deliver 9?

[@shabeerjameela3748]

Thomas, regarding using the autonomous feature; using the lane assist in my 2016 Touran gives me neck/shoulder pain due to the effort of sort of leaving the hands forward holding the steering lightly. Where as if it weren't for lane assist I have to hold the steering tightly and the hand is supported that way. So for me lane assist (as long as you have to lightly hold the steering) is practically useless to the point that I disable it for motorway driving. Wonder how you/others feel about the practicality of such autonomous feature?

[@autogefuehl]

very interesting, havent experienced such thing yet. I will keep that in mind!

[@limchunmeng]

Hi, can I seek your opinion, between a entry level F-pace with black pack and a R-design T6 2018 XC60 Volvo. Both at the same price. Which one would you choose?

[@autogefuehl]

Have you compared our F-PACE Reviews? kzbin.info?search_query=autogef%C3%BChl+fpace I think the manufacturers dont wanna hear that, but from the driving feeling, both vehicles come quite close imho. I love the Jaguar styling, the interior build quality however is better with the Volvo. Remember not to go for animal skin seats no matter which one u choose!

[@limchunmeng]

Autogefühl thank you very much. I watched both reviews over and over again for at least 5 times to avoid missing any details. I guess it's now down to styling and badge vs features.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah indeed

[@limchunmeng]

Autogefühl I would like to say thank you and I be decided I went ahead with the XC60? R design trim. Really appreciate you replying. Felt like a celebrity replying my message. Anyway I bought the car at approximately 152,000.00 euros. Huge money that's why I really appreciate your advice. From singapore by the way

[@Blue_8800]

hi Thomas,excellent review.one small suggestion from my side is that it would be great if you also comment on how comfortable the middle seat is,because 5 seaters are sometimes really a 4 seater.if one has 4 adults and a baby,the car becomes useless.

[@autogefuehl]

+Er E I will keep that in mind thanks

[@HumbleBearcat]

Nice review. How do you disable the engine auto start/stop? Is it an easy one button operation or do you have to go through various steps in the touch screen? I would really like to see the review on the T5 as we are not allowed to get the diesels in the USA. I don't care for the T6 as most of the reviews are T6 except this one.

[@autogefuehl]

should be in the left screen tab
