Beautiful, but not reliable

Love cars, 11/18/2022

2022 Volvo XC60 B6 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

First, the pros: Extremely comfortable & luxurious seating. Love the heated/ventilated seats & heated steering wheel for my painful hands. It is very quiet. The arrangement of the AC vents prevents you from having frozen hands as a driver and the vent in the rear door column provides extra vents to back seat passengers. It is the most comfortable car I've ever driven on a roadtrip. The … interior is lovely, if minimalistic. It offers Apple Car Play, which I like, although it is a wired connection. When the Google map app works, it is decent. Having owned Acura, Infinit & BMW(2016 - newest of these) vehicles, all of their navigation and infotainment systems were far superior. Now for the cons: the rotors had to be replaced before I even took the car home because braking was jittery. I was informed that this is extremely common due to shipping from overseas. Hmmmm. I've had cars that were made overseas and didn't need new rotors til around 70K miles. Constant problems with the Google Assistant/infotainment system, which when it malfunctions, can shut off your AC/heat. Then, the GPS signal is randomly lost. You have to keep rebooting the system, which may temporarily fix the problems, but they always return. One could also argue it is unreasonable for a driver to have to reboot the system that controls the whole car frequently while driving. I'm certainly discussing this with Volvo. Mine has been back to the dealer twice in the first 2 months of ownership and will be going again next week (11 weeks from purchase) - all for problems related to Google Assistant (an Android system). To adjust the temperature, you have to use the touch screen for it to actually adjust, and it only adjusts by 2 degrees, not single digits. Voice control doesn't work. Too many controls realistically must go through the touch screen because the voice control is unreliable. Having a few buttons would solve that issue & be safer. Volvo's strength is not tech. Their Google Assistant system is enough to ruin what would otherwise be a wonderful car. I do not recommend any Volvo that contains Google Assistant. UPDATE: I pursued the Lemon Law because the Google/Android system was constantly malfunctioning to the point I didn’t feel safe driving the car. It would require multiple reboots, during which you lose all controls, so it is necessary to pull off the road. Sometimes I had to reboot multiple times plus restart the car. The backup camera would freeze. It auto-braked inappropriately, which could have caused a crash. When the system functions as it should, it is exceptional. I am an early-adopter of new tech and love it in cars. If Volvo ever gets the system to function properly and consistently, it will be fantastic. The dealership had my car almost 2 of the 5 months I had it. I believe they really tried to fix it. Volvo bought the car back from me, for which I am grateful. We settled before arbitration. I had planned to get a BMW X3 to replace the Volvo, but walked away as soon as I learned they are also incorporating a Google/Android system & eliminating manual controls. When a screen alone controls everything, you end up with a brick when it malfunctions. Voice control stops working when the Google system fails. I won’t buy another car that doesn’t have at least some key controls as buttons/knobs.

So many problems with the software....

2022 Volvo XC60 B5 R-Design 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

I am very disappointed with my new 2022 Volvo XC60. I was not told about these "problems" until after I wrote a check for the vehicle and was ready to drive off the lot. Most disappointing is the 360 camera. I only wanted a car with the 360 view like my previous Audi. When you are backing up the only camera that comes on is the rear camera. It's a split screen so I should have the …

Infotainment System Improved, but Still Needs Work

Disappointed and Dismayed, 10/03/2021

2022 Volvo XC60 B6 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Volvo has clearly made an effort to work with Google to improve the content available through its new infotainment system, which has provided more capabilities than initially delivered and led to an improvement in our overall rating. A 5-star car otherwise, the infotainment system still is somewhat quirky and frequently counter-intuitive. Google Navigation works very well, but the …

2022 Volvo XC60 B5 Inscription 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Constant electronic issues. Google infotainment is junk. Cars dash is lit up like a Christmas tree with only 3k miles on it. Dealer promised excellent customer support before purchasing. We never received a return phone call for a service appointment. Today the wipers failed. Another light added to take in for service. I didn’t buy a new car for the purpose of running back and forth to …
