Volvo XC60 Review 2024 | 10 things you NEED TO KNOW!

We take a deep-drive into the latest Volvo XC60, discovering just how much the latest model has developed over the last few years. Imposing yet understated, the XC60 is a mid-size SUV competing against cars like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, but a raft of new features help set it apart from rivals.

Quality has reached new heights, and Howard thinks it might just be the quietest and most refined petrol car currently available. The model we tried was the plug-in hybrid, but we take a look at the other options and consider what exactly it is that makes the XC60 stand out.

This man could review a barren wasteland and I'd still watch

Great review. I bought an immaculate 2nd hand XC60 two years ago and have driven 8 hours non-stop in it arriving at my destination as fresh as when I left. Only niggles for me in that era are some of the pilot assist settings, most of which I switch off and the satnav which has obviously been addressed now. Denim blue. Blond interior. Classic. My next car will be another XC60. They are pure quality in design and comfort.

This might be the best video on the XC60 on Youtube right now, cheers!

I got a Volvo XC60 T8 recharge 2023 . Full spec . Driven 600 miles . It's comes in about 90 000 US dollar . But if you as me it's worth every penny compared to BMW, Mercedes, etc . And for say 463 horse power makes the car moving . Comfort with the air suspension is really good, bower and Wilkins sound is real good, seat is in a class of it's on when it comes to comfort . Got the withe leader interior, I hope it age well but you need to keep it clean .

Over all, it's a car way above bmw X3 or Audi Q5 Mercedes CLE .

I think you have to go Mercedes S class if you want a "better" ride . But then you need to pay much more ...

Best SUV ever . Enough said

The only non supercar vehicle I've ever fallen in love with. I had to buy it... and now I did. Just amazing.

Owned this for 6 months and I love it. The only 3 problems you need to know about are: 1) The range drops from 47 miles to 30 miles after a few weeks, 2) the windscreen uses weird polarised glass, which whilst sounds like a good idea, means during night driving distracting halo's are created from rear lights of other cars. Light does not pass through cleanly. Instead it expands and refracts light points. Not safe. Additionally, during the day a strong reflection of the dashboard air vents is created in the centre of the windscreen. This reflection is even worse than the night driving distraction - beware!, 3) the plug-in electric filler cap randomly pops open. After a journey in the car, often I go to the passenger side to find the filler cap has popped open. There is no notification or alert. Both these points are annoying. No alert, dodgy filler cap. All super annoying but the car is amazing and I would not change it for anything else!

I owned this vehicle and is good! Is a boutique, powerful, luxurious and comfortable suv; is so fun to drive it! NO comparison with bmw, Mercedes, Audi and even Tesla lovers

Brilliant review. I can’t really afford an xc60 phev but thanks to this guy I’m seriously considering one anyway.

[iriska]

Ah, you made me fall in love with Volvo once again ❤

[simonpj]

I come from an age where Volvos were boxy things that old men drove. But this is amazing. Got to have a T8

[AR-ktml]

What an insanely cool review. Got a T8 xc90 which I think, with a certain bias, is an even better car. But your review popped up and could not stop after watching the first minute. Brilliant car and awesome review

[reginaldmilton]

I am on the Volvo XC 90 T8 ultra plug-in hybrid and I love it. The only downside I can think of is that it has no place to lay your phone and it is being charged. What were you thinking?

[siropasrangphet]

possibly the best reviewer on the planet thx

[lovelybigguy]

Really lovely presenter! And lots of useful info too. Great job!

[tsint]

It is still, 7 years after it was released, the best-selling car in Sweden.

I drive first edition of T8 Twin Engine AWD from 2019. splendid car, only I got less overall horse power than new Recharge models and batteries are only 10.4 kWh. But there's one advantage for my model year, no maximum speed limiter installed, like in new ones, what makes me very fast on Autobahn!!! :)

[whizz]

Enjoyed that. Thanks. Going to the local dealership tomorrow to check it out.

[melusibiyela]

Brilliant Review. I was not aware of your work but now you have sealed my fate. It’s going to be the XC60.

[pgadams]

Wow. I'm going to test drive one now. Lot's of fun and good job!

[hansblonk]

I got a 2015 diesel version, still runs great. Now looking for the hybrid but it is pricy
