Volvo XC60 SUV 2020 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

[@dulezninjaman4788]

The most underrated quality car maker.

[@blarkdexture8899]

dulez ninjaman not really crappy build

[@olik136]

depends on the country I think- in Germany you see a lot of them- despite having slightly worse quality than audi (and so on) while being a good bit more expensive

[@JaluAndura]

Mazda?

[@sweetfreedomGB]

i think they're overrated

[@DetailingCars]

no they are not lol, why would you say something like that when you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about

[@inSYYY7]

The quality of carwow videos is amazing. You guys deserve much more attention!

@@dattape2828 why?

[@TheNowISTIME]

I sat both Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60, to be honest, Volvo XC60's interior quality is better.

[@FFM115]

They’re very similar, I just think the Audi might handle better in snow

[@ayon1.1]

* carwow logic * : compare all to the equvalent from audi brand and say audi is better ! i dont understand that... when its obvious that XC60 has a better interior quality from AUDI Q5

[@jj_cars99]

Also, Audi's quality is degrading compared to most luxury brands.

[@nicklasw3825]

Ï agree. The interior in Volvo XC60 definitely looks and feels nicer than the Audi Q5 (having one myself). And also, the Audi Q5 is a bit more fun to drive but Volvo wins in comfort (the Q5 can actually be a bit awful in that aspect over bumpy roads).

[@poppypopper1646]

We had one for 7 years(2014 version), the best quality SUV you can get. After 340 000 kilometers it still ran like a new car. And it's extremly comfortable to be in, lota of place and great noice filtering. At 180km/h you can close your eyes and it feels like it's standing

[@torenessa6931]

I’m no safety expert but i don’t think you should drive 180km/h with your eyes closed

[@BugMagnet]

My father had the 2014 as well and recently got the successor model. Soon I can find out if they did better this time. The old one was comfy, like you said, but the very noisy Diesel and insanely badly programmed automatic made me long for my 08 manual Golf after 5 minutes. Though, if it has to be an SUV and you are mostly travelling at constant speeds, good car. It reminds me of the french car philosophy a bit where engineering gets sacrificed so there is budget for an amazing interior.

[@stefanmoraru9544]

​@@BugMagnetso how is it?

[@BugMagnet]

@@stefanmoraru9544The newer XC60? Big improvement in a few core aspects. - they sold themselves to google, so you get easy to use well working navigation onboard - they got an actual transmission this time that has decent shift logic - the mild hybrid system alleviates a lot of the issues of a pure Diesel. Consumption is alright for a car of that size but nothing about an XC60 is economical to be fair. If you want a family car: get a wagon (obviously) if you want an SUV, look at some alternatives. 95% of the capability for 70% of the price is definitely doable. (Mazda, Hyundai) if you want basically a Mercedes GLC but not a Mercedes, then the XC60 is a great pick.

[@MrX12875]

Gotta love the way they passed the 10 minute mark

[@Sasha-qf8eu]

I'd choose this over any of it's competitors​ any day.

[@tommytigerpants]

I have just bought one in similar specs. Some things to note: you can get a protective coating for interior and exterior which prevents stains on the blonde interior (expensive though). The wing mirrors fold automatically on engine shut off. Rear seats are foldable from the boot by buttons. They are constantly making minor improvements to this car (much like other car makers). Always good to check in person.

[@Hilariumosis]

The slower throttle response in comfort-mode makes sense. He said it himself when he put it in dynamic-mode that it takes off quicker BUT it doesn't feel as relaxed... Exactly. Punching acceleration and relaxation doesn't quite go hand in hand.

Your car review videos are simply AMAZING.

[@zaraf]

[@longtailgt]

Brilliant review! Genuinely this is one of those "only car you need in life" cars. Also, this is the second best looking SUV in this class imo, after the Macan.

[@jijdom]

Macan looks like dog shit

[@fitztastico]

The cinematography and shot continuity of your videos is out of this world. I found you through a Civic hatchback review and have been wondering why everything your channel does is on another level. Attention to detail, my friend. Bravo.

[@DetailingCars]

7:30 no matt.... you just click switch and it connects.. dont give it crap because you dont know what ur doing and the cargo cover, everything can seem hard if you act like it.. you literally just take it out and put it back if you dont want it, you dont need to bang it around and dance

[@oscar191067]

owned xc60 for 18 months now, what was interesting initally the front end seemed light (4cylinder etc) - but i realised its simply what i was used to - weighty front ends. In reality after driving for a year in a big car its superbly balanced/handles/grips. Better up hills too with lighter front end. No air suspension in mine, much better for driving !

[@poulstindavis9939]

Do you think the airsuspension does make any difference?

[@poulstindavis9939]

I'm about to buy xc60 just wondering do i need to go with airsuspension or not

[@mariobanovic8378]

The best in his class..bravo Volvo better than Audi Q5

[@olik136]

I like it better than the Q5- but its also quiet a bit more expensive and the Q5 is already pretty pricy...

[@FireTigerHD]

This is better than the q5 in every aspect.

[@puttaiyakumar5721]

Oli K - using manufacturer's on-line configurators, similar engines, approx: top-spec all-extras XC60 £52k. New Q5 all-extras full-spec £52.9k.

[@olik136]

that is good for people in the UK... our pricing is not the same though

[@rockaphonics]

So u have driven every single suv in its class before to make a judgement?

[@eos3325]

What, no console shake! It's not a complete review without a console shake.

[@venom5809]

I was at the Detroit Auto Show here in America a few weeks ago and hadn't been in any of the new Volvos recently, got into the XC90 and OMG the smell was glorious, it smelled like expensive wood and leather, no other vehicle I have been in smells like that, that alone sells the car. It wasn't really on my list before but it definitely is now.

[@thedavidj1996]

I love Volvo’s current design, and their bright beige almost white interior choice. I especially love that steering wheel. So classy looking and the two tone is so different from everyone else.

[@LaMOi1]

I LOVE these reviews…. If you want a family car - these reviews are sooo informative for all the practical things I need to know

I don’t understand...took place in the Q5 and it’s so full of plastic...it looks cheap and also feels like it...this XC 60 is way more premium I think

Volvos are highly underrated, but would love to have the 3-way folding rear seats on these X-overs like in the German offerings (ie VW Group, BMW and Mercedes-Benz) and I find that the pass-through portal rather small though compared to the VW Golf.

[@patrickallan481]

That problem with the Bluetooth not engaging/disengaging seems pretty common. My Mercedes does that from time to time. Also, don't undervalue the comfort of Volvo's seats. They are the absolute best in the business, IMO, and when you consider that the seat is (obviously) where you spend all the time while in the car, seat comfort might be more important than, say, handling precision, especially when you consider that so much modern "driving" entails sitting in traffic.

[@martinlewis8225]

I bought my new xc60 through car wow and got an amazing deal far better when I'd just walked into the main dealer! I got the inscription and totally love the car.

[@martinlewis8225]

It was a friend who told me about it.

[@johanneswestman935]

I just prefer the exterior and interior of this to the Q5. I don't like how round Audi cars are in the front and I also like the minimalist style of the Volvo's interior. Gonna keep looking though. The X3 is a definite competitor.

[@lisakaplan2073]

The Blonde interior color option is my favorite option on this model. Is it really that hard to keep clean? Enough to stay away from this color?

[@shogunero3.6]

Review the new Skoda Octavia VRS plz

[@peterambrose2148]

In Malaysia you only get the T8 and T5. Here hybrid cars are have tax incentives. so a T8 is normally cheaper than a T5. For instance, the S90 T5 is $102,524 while the T8 is $94835 plus it is fully specced whereas the T5 is half specced. So we can always enjoy the hybrid benefits and the massive power.

[@veve8389]

How do you time travel from 2018 to 2020 ?

[@philrobson]

I had this on test for a week as a potential replacement for a G30 5 Series. The sat nav is dreadful, and playing music is harder than it should be for a car with a list price north of £40k. The XC60 is getting the new Google infotainment system in 2021, which hopefully means full screen Apple Car Play. It's a lovely car to drive; great driving position; nice power in the D5; effortless steering. You feel more of the road on 19inch rims and passive suspension, but it's not sporty. The interior quality is below the standard I'm used to with the 5, but I can't compare it to other SUVs.

This is looks great on video but trust me, it looks 2 times better in person.....It has a presence that rivals an Audi or maybe better....and those THOR HAMMER headlights makes it very recognizable at night....I personally think it looks sexier than a Q5 and an F - Pace....classiest looking car in it's class TO ME....very very classy.
