2024 Volvo XC60 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Excellent last car before full electric.
Fantastic car, comfortable, powerful, excellent on rough roads and long road trips. Love the OTA updates and the additional features they’ve brought to the car. We live in a place with tons of snow and rain throughout the year and this thing eats it all up like it’s nothing. Not sure where all the claims of electrical and mechanical complaints are coming from but I’ve got 5600+ miles on the extended range edition so far without a single issue. Love the Android auto system, generally just yell at Google to do something like play music, makes call, adjust the seat or wheel heating, find something on the navigation and it just works. I’ve owned a 2011 V50, a 2016 XC70, a 2019 XC40, and now this XC60 and not had a SINGLE mechanical or electrical issue with any of them. Put well over 80k on each and 210 on the V50 and they all kept going strong. I’ll consider the Polestar 3 only because it’s basically a Volvo and I don’t need all the seats in the EX90. Elegant, powerful, and reliable. Couldn’t ask for more except a better charging infrastructure in condo buildings…

Bye, Bye German SUVs!
I bought a 2023 XC60 plug-in hybrid (Recharge) three months ago and will never look at another BMW, AUDI, VW or Mercedes Benz. It helps that my husband and I are longtime users of Google products; we are completely at home asking google to change the heat, fan, radio station, find a destination or play a tune from youtube music! Our hands never leave the steering wheel. In the three months I've had the car, I have only filled it once at a gas station thanks to the 43 miles of EV range we get. Sometimes it's 47 miles in warmer New England weather. Recharge vehicles come with two types of wall chargers, but we use the 220 exclusively and get a full charge in 5 hours. Fortunately we have a garage! Yes, they're expensive, but it feels like this might be a 'forever' car for this 70+ year old in CT.

So far good after a minor issue
After fixing a loose proximity sensor issue in rear bumper the car has been running fine. The Google auto is really nice. However it needed rebooting the system (holding the button for 10 sec). Other than that the hybrid XC-60 Plug in drives really nice. We did a couple of long trips on it and the ride was very comfortable and relaxing. The plug in is really powerful and quick

Getting a boost after 12 years!
We have never owned a Volvo but we’re committed to a plug in hybrid SUV & the Volvo met our expectations best. It’s a very different car than our old Acura MDX (which we loved), so we are getting used to a lot of new items. That said we are liking the car after its first few weeks. Great safety features, plug in is easy, peppy drive & easy to handle. Glad we leased it to take advantage of a $7500 rebate off MSRP!
Surprises
Surprisingly quiet and yet sporty. Surprising turning radius. I anticipated that it would be quick, but the traffic merging and passing power are surprising even at highway speeds. The transition from electric to gas is seamless. Comfortable for long rides -- we recently traveled over a thousand miles in two days and felt rested when we arrived. The safety equipment is an added bonus. Most of our driving is around town and we had the car for 3 weeks before we added a quarter of a tank of gas. The PHEV feature adds to the economy, quiet and power of the vehicle. Easy to drive and good vision for driver.

Love it!!
I had been eyeing this car for a while. I really wanted a car that was comfortable and just easy to drive and I got exactly that! I also test drove Mercedes and BMW and loved the interior design and simplicity of the Volvo. It’s peppier to drive than I expected and I love the understated luxury of the car. Plenty of space in both the front and back seats and trunk space is good for the size of the car. I do not find the infotainment system difficult at all, it works just like an iPhone. In fact, I like the car for the simplicity of the controls… I hate cars that are filled with unnecessary buttons. Would definitely recommend this car to others!

Simplified Luxury…with some quirks
Overall, I am very pleased with my 2024 XC60 Plus trim. I love the vehicles minimalist design language, especially the interior and its tasteful mixture of high-end materials. It has many nice features that you would expect in a luxury vehicle, but it also notably misses a few - no powered steering wheel adjustment or wireless charging seem like unusual omissions, especially the latter. Lack of wireless apple car play is also unfortunate. The infotainment system is also fairly basic in functionality and customization, and the app-based approach to everything means lots of menus and sub-menus - although use of Google Assistant helps mitigate this to a degree. The ride quality is a bit rough/firm, especially at highway speeds so I would definitely recommend test driving on more than just side roads. Overall I think most owners will be happy with this vehicle, but it’s not without its shortcomings.

Love my 2023 Volvo
Bought my 2023 XC60 several weeks ago and I love it. I read most of the complaints were about the Infotainment but I have not had any issue downloading and playing software.My only complaint is the first screen on Audiowagon which keeps asking for access to read the USB drive with my music. My car has been updated with the newest software. It rides well and with several weeks of over 100 degrees temperatures no performance issues. It's roomy and enjoy driving it. So I have to say i'm a happy camper with my Volvo.

Great car but some features take the edge off.
Just bought the XC60 Plus. Overall we really like the car. Quiet, smooth ride, Plenty of power. However there are a few minor issues that are surpising on a $53,000 car. Really liked the optional booster seat. 1. Base stereo is disappointing. Lack of bass and no balance or fade control. Would have liked the Harmon Kardon but it wasn't on the car I liked. A simple sub woofer would make the difference. 2. Cannot load Pandora app but this may be more of a problem with Pandora. 3. Infotainment system is busy. Requires a lot of switching between screens. Requires a manual button for stereo. 4. Park button is not easy to engage. Sometimes fails on first press. 5. No additional recline on back seats. Thats about it. Overall really like the car.

I love the XC60 2023 upgrades
I purchased a 2022 XC60 T8 Inscription with the Bright color option last year. I did benefit from the $5400 Fed Tax Credit, which bought the overall price down to an acceptable level. Unfortunately, it did not have the Extended range battery, and I only got appx.20 miles on pure electric mode, before switching over to the gas mode. There were also a few other options that I wish I could have got (ie: larger battery, air-ride suspension). So I traded in my 22 model, and special ordered a new 23 model from the factory with everything I wanted including the larger 38 mile range battery. What a huge difference this has made in my everyday driving. There are too may functional things I love about 2023 XC60 Ultimate T8 to list. It's just pure fun to drive.
