I honestly believe that this SUV is hands down the best luxury SUV available in the segment. I test drove the Mercedes Benz GLC 300, Audi Q5, Jaguar F-Pace, Mazda CX-9 (X3 2018 was not available to test drive) and at the end the Volvo was the winner. To me, the design of the Volvo is the most modern and elegant of the bunch. The engine on the T5 is on par with the Base models of the other brands. (@250HP and around the same torque) The cabin set up for convenience of the driver, the blend of technology and amenities on a simple yet elegant design made the XC60 the best. I was a little concerned with the performance and almost decided to go with the T6 but I honestly could not justify the extra money, the engine performs just fine for the type of driving I do. The noise levels at highway speeds are just right, not so quiet that you fall asleep but not so loud that you can't carry a conversation. The R-design specs are certainly worth the extra cash, the fit and finish of the seats is impeccable. The steering wheel, shifting paddles, aluminum accents, and the overall environment are just way above the German and British competition. One characteristic that I have really liked is the suspension. My only test drive was on a XC90 T5 and on that occasion I noticed some plushness to the suspension, specially when compared t my old BMW 328i. On the R-design suspension that feeling has not been present, it is firm but not uncomfortable it just feels sporty to the point that you forget you are driving a 4000lbs+ SUV. I have never owned a Volvo so the question of reliability and quality long term are still out there. Without a doubt my initial impression to this point has been 100% positive.

I have owned this car for the past year. I pre-ordered the car and came from Sweden as one of the first R-design model available. I really love the car, it is so comfortable and so perfectly finished that I can only hope the reliability of the brand matches its fit and finish. The engine could be a bit more refined but for a 4000+lbs SUV it does the job really well. The transmission is great and it works just as expected depending on the MODE you have set. (ECO, COMFORT, or DYNAMIC) One of the features I like the most is the center screen as well as the digital instrument panel, it is well made and has so many options that allow to customize depending on what the driver wants. I tested many SUVs and it truly was the best of the bunch. I will only hope the reliability is what I am expecting but so far so good. (specially when all maintenance is covered by Volvo, It is an incredible warranty and great piece of mind) Update on the Volvo XC60: 06/17/19 The car has become my second car, now that I get to compare the two I realize how great this car really is. Still a little noisy, coming from the engine compartment but since tire noise is more notable at high speeds it doesn't seem to bother me as much only at high revs on low speeds. I currently have 13000+ miles so I am still hoping for reliability to be good but so far I have done brakes under warranty (because the wheel would shake a bit under braking with some uneven feel. The dealer said they had a re-design or quality recall by Volvo.) At this point only complaint is that I'm trying to get Volvo to replace some window trimming that is pitted (or some kind of rust on the mate finish of the windows bezels.) Last time I took it to the dealership they said that they couldn't see it but it is still there. Everything else is working great granted I'm not driving it as much.

I purchased the R Design fast as a sports car comfortable like a luxury Small glitches in the beginning but overall fantastic UPDATE: This is review after owning my Volvo XC60 R Design for almost 6 years. This car is hands down the most comfortable and well-designed I have ever owned😎. The horsepower is super (350) and gas consumption minimal. I live in South Florida with fast and quite honestly horrible drivers, hence me looking for a safe car. This car checks all the boxes for me, great pickup, safe and fun to drive.
