Volvo brand has always been my favorite. Their Scandinavian design, simplicity and their attention to complete safety is what kept me with them for many years. With the recent changes with Volvo, it’s only more clear that their future is going to be amazing. They have completely rethought their car line, and with the new XC60 they are gonna be very recognizable on any road. This is my first SUV, and I wouldn’t have gotten it if it wasn’t for the beautiful design of XC60. This size is not too big and not so compact like other luxury makers. I got the T8 Twin Engine trim with 10 kWh battery that gives 18-20 miles range on pure electric drive. My favorite things about the car: -air suspension is incredibly comfortable and soft -remote start, pre-cooling, pre-heating all though the Volvo App is amazing, even works with my Apple Watch -comfort and quietness of the cabin -design of the interior and the screen interface and interaction -internet in the car, over the air updates of all maps, installation of free apps -Volvo’s own sound system is superb -Spotify -Apple CarPlay -Autonomous Drive is very accurate from everyday driving to work -auto braking and crash avoidance is amazing -once a year maintenance is a breeze -electric drive is so smooth and quick, it almost feels like a mini Tesla -LED lights are beautiful and bright enough in all situations I’ve experienced -size of the XC60 is just right Things that can improve: -Volvo needs to work with dealerships more and be allowed to fully update the car over-the-air -charging speed could improve with time, with software updates too -transition from engine to electric needs more ironing out -more options and controls in the user interface and the screen, few more options to make the car your own and have more customizations -Volvo needs to help plug-in hybrids to find charging stations, they kind of let that up to the driver Overall this is the best car I’ve even driven, even comparing it to cars I’ve been in, like Audi and BMW, Volvo always takes on extra points on character, design, and comfort. This is truly Scandinavian philosophy, nothing more and nothing less, just what you need, and after driving it everyday I can see it very well.

As it came time to downsized from a larger SUV we wanted a vehicle that looked great on both the outside and inside; was fun to drive; and had all the most recent drivers aids and safety kit. The Volvo had everything on our wish list and for us was the most comfortable car to drive (e.g., the legendary Volvo seats are great on long trips). We got all Volvo options on the car except the more powerful engine (e.g., the T5 engine power is more than adequate for suburban driving) and the air suspension (e.g., the steel suspension felt fine to us, but that is a subjective decision). We have had the car for three years with no mechanical issues, squeaks or rattles. In addition, fuel economy has been spot on the EPA estimate. Overall, we have been very pleased with the car.

Bought this SUV for my wife replacing a loaded 2018 Audi Q5 because the seats were very comfortable for her, and we really like the dealer. The Audi seats hurt her back so we sold it back to the dealer with less than 2000 miles on it (OUCH!). Inscription has amazing seat adjustments, features and comfort. Terrible window glare off dash during daytime unless drive wears sun glasses. Visibility is good, though the BLIS could have been made more pronounced in the side mirror. No mfg compares to Audi on the BLIS system visibility. The infotainment computer, while billed as working like an iPhone with a home button, is cumbersome, slow and difficult to learn.It takes forever to download updates, and notices of them are very misleading. Navigation graphics, operation and search results leave a lot to be desired ( I could use a crass word but won't) especially compared to the Q5. Its choices of routes are very poor. Shuttling between screens is distracting, and the screen does hold finger prints very easily. There should be some dash button to push for the most common features, e.g. cutting off Eco mode and 360 camera. Mileage so far is not ok and disappointing. Has yet to average 20 mpg much less the advertised mileage. Interior wood trim (driftwood because Volvo ran out of other wood grain colors) and leather colors are limited and a bit ugly compared to all competitors. The newer electric silver exterior color is very handsome and would be prettier if the interior leather options included a true beige with walnut trim. My wife really likes the car, but I can say I barely like it.That might change after we take it on a trip. Were it not for the dealer, with whom we have had a long, wonderful relationship and is excellent, I probably would like the 2018 XC60 Inscription T6 less. Just hope it is durable and lasts for the 10 years my wife had a Toyota Sienna.

I really love this car. I was skeptical at first but it has all the power of a bigger car. Great on Hwy's, smooth rides great car. Con I wish for two things a little bit bigger storage and I wish it has little compartments for storage, and a bigger storage for ladies handbags. So the main thing is better gas milage,best warranty, unbeatable features. Was looking at BMW x3 liked it a lot but for me the VOLVO outshines them all. Great Looks excellent car. Very Happy Girl!

I love my XC60, compared this vehicle with Q5, Lexus NX, RDX .. Decided to go ahead with XC60 based on cost and features.. I really wanted some kind of autonomous driving in the SUV. Pilot and Park Assist works great ...Q5 has better virtual cockpit view in the dashboard, XC60 also had Nav view in the dashboard, it works well for me . Interior is elegant with minimalistic approach... you will not be disappointed with XC60...
