Volvo have absolutely hit it out the park with this XC60. Having viewed features and driving capabilities of the X3, GLC, Q5, I feel the Volvo beats the rivals in almost every department. The Volvo comes standard with all “necessary” features that the German 3 make you pay extra for. Ridiculous how Audi make you pay for a reverse camera and electric tailgate - features that are standard on Korean cars.

[@itmustbelove08]

I don’t mind the retract of the sunroof screen because at least you don’t have to hold the button until it closes. Now if I had to keep my finger on the button I’d be annoyed.

[@fulddakkedak1598]

Clever man. Volvo is number one. You would get stressed if it was faster in a stressfull day :D

[@JP5isalive]

Why does it need to be any faster? It doesn't.

[@CALLA2024]

How is the reliability of these cars? Have you had any issues? I'm stuck between mazda cx-9 signature, lexus rx350, acura mdx and this one. I just want a reliable car with a few nice touches...

[@3204clivesinclair]

CALLA2024 If reliability is your number one consideration, it has to be a Lexus. Lexus have consistently been top of reliability surveys for several years.

[@DiscoFang]

Yes. Why the f is he sitting waiting for it to close? OCD extremis. Does he sit paralysed in front of a dishwasher until it finishes?

[@crlsalexgarcia]

Mat, I'm from Canada and this is my favorite KZbin channel for car reviews. You sold me on the Volvo XC60. I just got mine XC60 T6 R-Design yesterday. I can't stop driving it. It's amazing. Thanks for your tips.

[@harshkumar-rm6gx]

Hi Alex, I am buying the momentum today from Alberta.How's your experience with it after 2 years :)

[@omarbedair]

harsh kumar I just got mine in Ontario a couple of weeks ago. Amazing experience so far, doesn’t fail to amuse on all terms. Curious to know how she does a couple of years down the road though !

[@Endohell]

@@omarbedair volvo is reliable?

[@ryan225360]

I’ve been looking for one of those precisely! Glad to heer you like it.

[@etuboldon]

I drove a T6 rental, my wife’s rental, and it was so hard to say goodbye 😭

[@gauravsen3040]

I believe that despite all the minor issues it has, the XC60 is a fantastic vehicle.

[@fazer12779]

4:00 You didn’t need to hold your finger on the blind switch, so that’s not a problem.

[@jillpassafiume9391]

Just bought one today, fell in love with it!

[@albinomauren]

I just love the simplicity and "cleanness" and videoformat of carwow's videos. Love this channel, also the host is amazing at his job!

[@CoreSaturn]

Love how honest you are about the car although its been lent to you! Respect to you and Volvo for that.

[@ntwalipat2]

It doesn’t matter what car it is he keeps it unbiased & even funny!

[@HyunwooSun]

I own a v90cc and I absolutely love the around view camera system! It also seems to be more wide-angle (showing more of the ground around your car) than some other around view systems in other cars :)

[@thomascain8839]

I just recently purchased my T5 Momentum about a week ago. I switched over from a 2014 Audi Q5 3.0T Prestige. I have to say, the technology in the Volvo is simply unbeatable. I absolutely love the functional built in to the infotainment screen. The parking sensors and camera views have made everything so much easier as well.

[@vidpetrovic8907]

Good choise!

[@jkraina2180]

We love the car I like how you can personalize the driving dynamics. So if you think the steering is too light you can tighten it up and keep the vehicle in comfort mode awesome job Volvo. The vehicle is intuitive and drives great and the T5 R -Design is a sporty looking suv and extremely practical.

[@stephengrant-dawe9658]

Yes some little issues, but the car is so sophisticated you overlook the, on a long run up to 50.5 mpg, the load cover is a bit of a flaf but take your time and it's not a problem.Now just up to 12 months old, and love it.Very proud to be driving in it.

[@andytnr]

I have a 2019 R Design XC 60 and love it. The 2 minor niggles that i have is the brake creak when coming to a stop and the auto wipers that can go beserk when fine rain hits the windscreen and ignores heavy rain drops. Apart from that, the car is mint.

[@isaks3243]

park in is hugely useful for the people who live in my home town, way too many drive around the town time and time again just to find an easy parking spot even if it involves walking for 20 minutes to reach where they wanted to go. it is extremely useful for me as one of those who is good at parallel park cause i can always find a parking spot within less than a minute of where i wanted to go, some of them a little bit challenging to park at with my 5 meter long car but it just makes it more fun for the extra challenge

[@adriana_xo9567]

Bought one yesterday and I am so so happy with it best car in the world , so responsive aswell the car and the screen.

[@dagda3000]

Just ordered a fully loaded XC60 T6 R-Design in white with 22" rims. It's a true beauty. As far as exterior and interior are concerend, X3, Q5 and GLC do not even come close. Can't wait to get it in 3-4 months.

[@rubenkristianto6106]

That interior design is so lovely & breathtaking

[@Ford-Explorer606]

Yes

[@shopwithaaron]

I never comment ...but you are a GREAT reviewer!! Thanks from America for all you thoughts!

[@cheyd4312]

OMG! This was so entertaining 🤣 especially your demonstration of retracting the privacy cover. So funny but very informative video. Thanks for doing this.

[@MW-uh1xv]

Had ours for 2 weeks and I love it. The interior on this car is probably the nicest in its class. My opinion anyway.

[@baqirqadri6752]

i love the new xc60. the design and comfort are ahead of competition. overall good video thanks Matt

[@jowieindigo3424]

That smile when the car responded!!

[@c.joseph7103]

I'd check this car out before and I like happy to see you think so too.

Great review. Those volvos just make sense. The styling is unique and elegant Love them. good family car i bet.

[@carguygamer9869]

That's a perfect car, but I would have chosen the pine grey + bowers and wilkins sound system. We actually have the XC60 D5 Momentum with only winter pack. I would be happier even with your spec.

[@vigangovender881]

[@jack.giannelli]

Really love this car, interior and exterior!

[@taylormarois7864]

I have a 2010 XC 60 that has been the best car I've ever owned. Love my large sunroof! It has never had an issue other than regular maintenance. Don't know if I really want to upgrade to a new one yet. I may drive it until the doors fall off.

[@supermecho3]

Curtesy car: XC60 D5 same spec as reviewed. Brilliant loved the smooth power and comfort amazing. I have a 2018 VW Tiguan SE and it feels 50% behind the Volvo in every way

[@Ryan-ei9xq]

I love the new XC60 😍

[@darrylkenes7424]

First I like my xc60 a lot. All the electronic /media stuff is nice but you are correct about the pull out panel in the back. I never use it. What I do like is the 300 hp 6.

[@arunbalajivenkatagiri76]

I love the car, been driving it for about a month. Its amazing! I didn't know it had the massage options for the seats.

[@anhhuyen3802]

Hello , I am concern about the cabin noise of xc60. Is it acceptable? Thank you!

[@StephenMaserFinancialAdvisor]

I bought a XC60 Inscription about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I have to say though, I don’t have the same level of problems with the cargo cover that the presenter did but it can be finicky.

[@none7961]

I've been in love with Volvo from the age of 5

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

[@JakobSvensson55]

Is the ``slow sunroof`` really and issue? Really?

[@mau3304]

Ja kob no he just had no other real issues. my parents have a xc60 and i really like the sunroof

[@wijen153]

if the '' slow sunroof'' is worth a complaint, in my opinion, only shows how good the car actually is.

[@davidrockefeller2007]

Also needs to have some complains so the review seems unbiased

[@justingolubov4564]

I Think the reason that the confusion you have with the arrows for the massage seats is that it’s made in a country where the steering wheel is in the left side. So it would probably make more sense if you was sitting in the passenger seat.

[@swcl1000]

There was an earthquake during filming?

[@jieszdanielportem1790]

@Yoda I think the cameraman sam has been drinking lately

[@andreasbanan]

Longest earthquake ever recorded.

[@joostsanders1771]

We are getting the hybrid version, can’t wait!

[@VVerTTeXX]

At least when set to Swedish the voice control is very good. It can turn on heated seats, heated steering wheel, set the temperature and can start navigation really quickly and easily.

[@dippinator1705]

I agree with the Trunk-Cover thing... on my last car (Mercedes E-Class) there was automatic-system build-in, that reacts with the opening and closing the trunk... way better than that manual cover!

[@hugoburton5222]

I have a 2009 Volvo xc60 t6. Many of the features you talked about here are present but I do like some of the other ones like heated steering wheel and parking 360° Camera.

[@LucaFenu]

Yeah, totally agree on your points. I've had the v90 for two months now and I have the same issues. Plus, it self drives like some who just got its driving license

I have had my T4 Momentum Diesel for 6 months. Great car, however I didn't buy it for fuel economy but try getting anywhere near the stated MPG! I cant get within 10 mpg that is stated in the manual. Pretty disappointing after owning a 3 series BMW that got pretty close to the stated MPG. Like I said I didn't buy it for economy, I bought it for comfort (owing to a back problem) but it reminds me of a 2011 Avensis diesel which again never got anywhere near stated mpg figures. Overall though the car is lovely to drive with light steering and clutch and fantastic seating position. Easy access, Brilliant sat nav and updates. It even tells me the speed limit in my Works Carpark! Bought it after seeing your videos. Thank you Mat and Carwow.

Selecting the magnifying glass is simply done by swiping the whole screen to the right. Very easy, even while driving.

[@hedydd2]

Some people are objecting to the rear doors which form part of the rear wheel arch. This results in dirt on the crescent shape of the open door. Personally I'm used to this, having run several Range Rovers, but I do prefer the XC90 type where the door meets the wheel arch rather than forms part of it. Especially as I live in the countryside and often drive down dogshit alleys and cowshit covered lanes. The sunroof and its blind takes some getting used to but once mastered is brilliant. Voice control is also brilliant, especially for temperature setting and turning seat and steering heating on and off. Not so much for the phone. Good also for choosing audio source but steering wheel controls better for choosing channels from preset favourites in my experience. Cruise control functions and controls are the best I've ever used by far. Speed limit sign recognition not so hot and my Qashqai is more reliable in this aspect.

[@jimmyaber5920]

Huw Williams Volvo put weatherstrips to the edge of the door frame to stop the dirt and grime from soiling you.

I've got the same seats in my V90, I thought that I was the only one always running into trouble with the massage function, good to hear that it's not just me. By the way, I thought that massage would be a totally useless feature when I ordered the car but it turned out to be something that I use almost every time when I drive the car for longer than 20 minutes. My next car will definitely have massage seats again!

[@alekBold]
