2018 Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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...

2018 Volvo XC60 T5 R-Design 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.
