I leased a Volvo T8 with every bell and whistle, including air suspension, red key, heads up display etc. Sticker was over $75k. It's a beautiful and comfortable car but I can't wait to give it back. The front dashboard rattles miserably on the highway. It truly drives me mad and makes me feel like I'm driving a Yugo. The dealer said they put padding/insulation but it has not fixed the problem. The 13 mile electric range is too low to be useful and the raspy 4 cylinder engine provides unrefined power/acceleration. The brakes and brake feel do not inspire confidence. I've also had countless technology glitches. For example, the wipers decided to stop working right before a heavy rain storm. I rushed home, parked and charged the car, and the next morning before I could call the dealer the system reset itself and worked fine. Strangely inconvenient. These type of random technology glitches happen unexpectedly and too often to be normal. The pilot assist moves the car around too much and the car does not track straight. Tire wear has been excessive. Disappointing to say the least, especially given the leather seats are beautiful and car is beyond comfortable.

It is an expensive car, but after being 500 miles into it I like it. Still have not mastered all that came with it, no hurry. Did my 1st month of almost 500 miles, plugged gnat home, plugged in at office, 10 gallons.

XC60T8 is a great car except poor voice recognition system, lack of AM radio, CD player, and spare tire. The car is fun to drive, has exceptional MPG and has a lot of safety features probably the best in his class. Enjoy!
battery loses power

I own a 2018 Volvo XC60 T8. I bought it new because I wanted a luxury car with environmental qualities and after researching, was pleased with the positive reviews. I mostly drive around town, so the 18 MPGe were perfect. We had an electrician come and install a 240 outlet in our garage for faster charging. Two and a half years later the battery will only charge to 12 MPGe. Took it in for servicing and they said, "per the owners manual, the car is performing as it should." I looked in the owners manual. Here's what it says: The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishes somewhat with age and use, which could result in increased use of the gasoline engine and consequently, slightly higher fuel consumption. I am so very disappointed. Good luck trying to trade this car in...who wants a hybrid that is loosing it's hybrid capacity. I just want to warn those who may want to buy the newly advertised XC90's. If you only want the car for two years, go for it. But don't expect much out of this hybrid in the long run.
Not what I expected

I expected everything to work as advertised for the price. The voice recognition is the worse I have used in over 10 years - it may as well not even be there. Road noise in this car is far higher than many much lower priced cars - I would have expected a car in this price range to be much quieter. The foot operated tailgate very seldom works. It has a lot of safety technology but because of the lack of an operating voice recognition and the poor traction in bad weather, it is really not a safer car at all. Plenty of cargo space, very good fuel mileage, plenty of power and drives and rides well on dry roads. It is very poor on snow covered roads; almost scary. I would definitely not buy another one. I changed the tires in an attempt to get a quieter ride - no good but better traction than the factory tires. I have also been to three dealers and none of them are at all helpful with any of the problems. After two years owning this vehicle, I am hoping to be able to trade it for something better UPDATE: In June 2021 I moved to Florida. I went to my local Volvo dealer to get my 50,000 mile service. They told me that I could not get in for 7 weeks. On my way home I stopped at a Jeep dealer and traded the Volvo for a Jeep Grand Cherokee which I have now had for a year. The Jeep has 50 more horsepower, has more interior space, all of the same technology as the Volvo had but in the Jeep the technology works. The road noise is also much less than in the Volvo. The gas mileage is only 2 MPG less so it was a great trade.
