Used 2022 Volvo XC60 Consumer Reviews
Late Model 22’s Fixed the Gripes
I’ve had my car for one year and 12k miles. I’ve driven round trip from Arkansas to Arizona twice. Most all other miles have been “Pure” mode electric only. So about 50/50. Not one glitch. 100% reliable. Software: The OTA software updates have worked every time for me BUT I do them always in my garage when my car is connected to my home wifi, not over cellular (not sure if that was the cause for some people). I’ve gotten used to the Google infotainment system and it’s Google Assistant’s ability to control certain vehicle settings with your spoken command. YouTube music actually sounds clearer than Apple Music through Apple CarPlay and a wired iPhone 13. The Volvo phone app is the biggest disappointment. It works 80% of the time and its functions are bare bones only. Kia offers better telematics. Safety systems: I wish the safety systems made warning noises (like when you start to change lanes with a car in your blind spot). I also wish the lanes beside you were visible on the video screen like Genesis offers. And to this day, I still have no idea if the car would actually stop if I didn’t react in time to avoid a collision. Brakes are firm, confident, and effectively stop this very heavy car. Interior/Body/Paint: The paint is holding up great, despite the highway miles through the desert. Not a single pit or abrasion in the front end paint. The doors and all panels fit perfectly and close with a reassuring and refined “thunk.” Not a single squeak or rattle. This thing is QUIET. The leather interior and build quality are very good, far surpassing Lexus and Mercedes in my opinion (I’ve owned both) and on par with Audi. The B&W audio system is expensive but worth every penny. Climate Control: The AC will freeze you out if you want it to. Works faster than any car I’ve ever had. The heat isn’t that quick, however. Heated/cooled seats are awesome. Heating steering wheel gets really warm and I have to turn it down soon after I take off. Driving: More than enough power in electric only.. I get anywhere from 34 to 45 miles on a charge, depending on outside temperature. If you run it in Performance Mode, be prepared to be startled off the line. Dealership experience: it’s ok. I’d rate it a 3 out of 5, but I think a lot of dealerships are struggling to hire and retain people. I hope that improves the further we get away from the pandemic.

2 weeks with it and already serious issues.
Car looks and drives great, except for: A) the collision avoidance system has activated itself for no reason 2 times on the highway when no cars were in front and almost got rear-ended. B) turned the car on and no sound (radio, GPS, turn signals. Nothing.) Will be returning to dealer to check system but high low expectations based on other comments on this and other forums.

My 2022 Volvo XC60 AWD is about to cost me $425
Why, because they have sensors on the front of the car with glass thin enough to break from a rock on the highway. I can't be the only one who has encountered this issue. I would assume Volvo would use some glass-clad polycarbonate or laminated polycarbonate product to protect these sensors, but they don't. Volvo has chosen to not cover the expense, which is a shame. Most manufacturers do a better job standing behind their product. I love my Volvo but between the annoying electrical glitches and now this sensor replacement on my dime (too many dimes), I will finish up the lease and make my third Volvo be my last Volvo. Very dissappointing.

The sound of silence!
I purchased a 2022 XC 60 (my 2nd- up from a xc 40). The was running OK but about 4-6 months after purchase I needed a series of updates. Then the fun began- no navigation, black out radio, navi and anything electrical. Most recently - the car would not start. Battery dead? Tow came and jumped started. Taken back to the dealers work shop- I don't know what has happened. An electrical problem? Or a mechanical problem but the car was dead in water. Fortunately I wasn't far from home- I shudder to think the issues if I was far from my home. I am so disappointed with this- makes me wonder what happened to Volvo realiablity?
Infotainment system a nightmare as well as the hea
That infotainment system is horrible- changing channels and the display gets stuck on an old song for hours. Goi g in tomorrow for help but now reading reviews I am disappointed as I realize im not alone and there won't likely be a lasting fix! My last 2019 volvoxc60 did not have this issue. And how during my test drive I missed the reflection of the heads up display box on the dashboard I'll never know. So awful. I see a big box in my line of sight most of the time except when the light is juuust right. And I've turned of the heads up display cause I don't need it! Wish I had bought a different car.
