Cross shopped Mercedes GLC & Audi Q5 and the Volvo XC60 won easily. Superior ride quality, quieter inside, larger inside, and great looking too. T6 model is also has more horsepower and accelerates more quickly. Car seems to be very solid and well put together. Now after 18 mo. ownership, the best SUV I have ever had. No problems, remains quiet and smooth riding. Showing no signs of wear.

Update 11-10-20 Only going with 4 stars because of mechanical issues. The car is brilliant, beautiful and impressive. I love everything about it., Problems: Every 5k or so miles the check engine light would come on. Reoccurring issue with some sort of air valve. Took 5 times to get it right but they fixed it. This is very rare, but the engine blew at 47k. I made it home and then to dealer in a reserved power mode. New engine coming from Volvo now. Good part is I get a new warranty with the engine so....everything is cool. --------------------------------------- Update 6-17-20 - Other than the check engine light going off around every 6500 miles, the car has been mostly great. I'm now at 37,000 miles. I've only had a few other minor glitches. Luckily I'm covered forever on whatever keeps causing that check engine light to trigger. Not really a big deal. Last time I put black tape to cover the error light....just like I did in my 1980's Dodge Colt. HA! --------- 9500 miles, going in for the 3rd time with a "Check Engine" light warning. Is it just my car? Nope! Not according to the service manager who said "We're seeing this a lot lately". - Seems to be a poorly designed vacuum hose they just can't seem to fix.....yet.

11/21 update - We're coming up on 20,000 miles in our XC60. It's been a comfortable, stylish, and reliable ride. I'm still loving Volvo's current designs. The XC60 and XC90 have both aged like fine wine. They're beautiful vehicles inside and out that were ahead of their time. Plus, Volvos feel solid as a rock. The door shuts with a confident thud that nearly feels like you're getting in an armored car. Other than regular service and a small evap hose leak that triggered the check engine light (replaced under warranty), our XC60 has been perfect. Even the infotainment has grown on me, though it does take some learning. My only concern with the XC60 is space. While it beats competitors like the Q5 and GLC, we're about to become a family of three that always brings our two dogs along. When it's just my wife and I, we can fill up this car pretty easily so we're considering trading up for the XC90. My wife fell in love with the styling of the newer Volvos and originally wanted the smaller XC40. The XC60 is just much more practical. I, too, fell in love with the design - particularly the LED daytime running lights and great interior so we took the plunge and bought a T5, Momentum. To me, the interior is class-leading and unlike anything I've seen another automaker attempt perhaps except for Tesla. HOWEVER, I will say that function clearly took a backseat to the modern, minimalist interior design . I'm in my 30s and very tech-savvy and I can't imagine anyone over 50 operating this car without a lot of frustration. Essentially all of the controls are operated via the touchscreen interface. I don't personally have an issue with this but Volvo sorely needs to improve the user experience of their infotainment. It can be a lot of swiping and tapping to make even a simple AC adjustment. Plus, it can be slow to boot up when you start the car. The infotainment does have some upsides - crisp graphics, very clear back-up camera, etc. But my other vehicle is a Jeep with Chrysler's excellent UConnect system and it's embarrassing how much more intuitive and responsive Chrysler's system is. The theme of design over function continues really throughout the car. There's little space in the center console because for whatever reason Volvo chose to place both an old-school shifter AND the ignition switch here. I guess they didn't want to mess up their minimalist dashboard design with a push-start or dial/button shifter. These things just become more apparent as you spend time with the vehicle, beautiful as it is. We have the T5 turbo-charged four cylinder and it's perfectly suited for this size vehicle. Getting the T6 would be overkill in my opinion. However, I can't imagine driving the larger XC90 with either engine. I know Volvo is heading toward electrification but a 6 cylinder is badly needed in their line-up. It sounds like I'm beating up on Volvo, I know, but I do honestly love our XC60 despite a few complaints. The exterior styling is elegant but not overdone. The interior is just top quality on every surface you touch. With some improvements in function, I think this SUV would be an absolute home run.

Mini Electronics problems

Don't buy a new Volvo SUV. There are so many electronics issues, and the dealership has an excuse for all of them. 1. The phone disconnects from the system after a couple of hours. VOLVO blames this on Apple CarPlay and says they can do nothing about it. This is after reading about how proud VOLVO is to have Apple CarPlay in their SUV's in 2019. Please don't offer it in your cars if you can't figure out how to get it to sync with the VOLVO computer system. 2. The radio turns on in the car when the car has been turned off and the keys are in the house and the car is in my garage. VOLVO says that the car must be locked, in my locked garage - - in order for the car to be completely powered down. 3. The radio doesn't consistently turn down when replying to a text. You never know when it's going to work or not work. 4. With nothing on the passenger car seat, the red light in the instrument panel flashes on and off, indicating that the seatbelt should be turned on. So disappointed that I bought this brand new car and have absolutely no recourse.

Love this vehicle. Bought the T6 Inscription this summer, we have put about 6k on it to date. Bought it for my wife, but drive it every chance I get. Rides like a dream, acceleration fantastic. And damn good looking too. This is luxury. Love everything about it. No regrets here.
