2024 Volvo XC60 Consumer Reviews

A Toyota/Lexus Owner Converts to Volvo
After driving Japanese cars for 20 years, I was hesitant to give up the reliability and residual value, but I must say...I love my new Volvo so far. Very comfortable seats, smooth and solid ride...yet I didn't have to slow down to 7 mph on exit ramps anymore. The criticism of the Google driven infotainment seems to be unfounded. It is 100 times easier to navigate than the system in my last Highlander (pre-AndroidAuto). She looks pretty nice too!

So Far So Good!
This car runs and drives incredibly smoothly. Power from the base turbo 4-cyl is plentiful, but gas mileage is a bit less than we expected. Getting around 21 mpg. It's super comfortable, the heated seats and steering wheel heat fast and very evenly. The Android based tech took a day or two to get used to (we are Apple users), but it works very well. Apple CarPlay works seamlessly.

Fourth and Final Volvo
This is the fourth and final Volvo I will own. Overall, it is a very nice car, but compared to my 2020 xc60, it falls flat. Why you may ask? Let me tell you. 1. The Google infotainment system is a HUGE step backwards. It overheats and has to be cooled, not ideal if you live in a warm climate. The sound will go out for no reason, which requires a reset of the infotainment system while in park. The menu is a little bulky to navigate and it seems to take my eyes off the road way more than it should. 2. Unless you pony-up for the Harmon Kardon sound system (which was amazing on my 2020) the standard stereo doesn’t even offer a balance and fade control. $55k and I have less controls on my stereo than my kids used Subaru. 3. The drive modes are no longer available. The Sport mode on my 2020 was a thrill to drive, it is surely missed. 4. The drivers display only features navigation. For safety’s sake, the entertainment info should be displayed here as an option. On the positive side, the car drives great has a luxurious feel to it. I have taken it on long road trips and have been very comfortable. The AWD handles great, and gets me through the rain and snow with ease. Our local Volvo dealership has been great to work with, always professional. If Volvo can dump the Google Infotainment system and go back to the 2020 features, I’d most likely buy my fifth xc60. Do better Volvo.

Loving my first Volvo
This is my first Volvo and I’m loving it. It’s fast enough, the interiors are beautiful, the infotainment works better than I expected. Just perfect and I’m not even in the highest trim.

Bucket list: Got the Volvo
I've secretly always wanted a Volvo. But when I found out I needed to get a new car, I also didn't like the idea of driving a traditional gasoline-powered car. The plug-in hybrid was an easy choice, and this car has been solid since we brought it home. You don't need a fancy plug (although it helps) and I've used a fraction of the gas I'd normally use. The technology is also top notch, which was another thing I wanted in a new car.
Gorgeous Swede
The XC60 B5 Core AWD Dark is a sight to behold. There isn't a more beautiful mid-sized SUV on the road today. And with its white metallic exterior and charcoal interior, this SUV is visually stunning. However it's more than just eye candy. Its mild hybrid motor fills in the performance gaps of turbo charged engines, rendering acceleration to be as smooth and linear as those non-turbo engine vehicles, only faster. Even though the interior of the XC60 Core is fabric, it looks and feels as luxurious as fine leather interiors on found in other luxury car interiors. The instrumentation is so superbly crafted, that one would be fooled by its minimalist design that the XC60 is devoid of any of the modern features seen in other cars. I can assure you, this is not he case. It's apparent that Volvo engineers have put in a lot of thought into designing the XC60, and beneath the surface of its minimalist interior and instrumentation, this car packs a power house of technology and features. My only disappointment is that I didn't get one sooner.

Wonderful car, excellent experience
Wow, I am surprised to see so many negative reviews. Makes me wonder if they are all legitimate. My experience is just the opposite. I purchased my 2023 B5 Core in late November 2023 and have put approximately 3000 miles on it without a single hiccup. The Google-powered infotainment system works flawlessly, no electrical or mechanical issues, and my gas mileage is better than expected. In suburban driving, I get around 27.5 miles per gallon, and on the highway 31-32 mpg at average speeds of 70-75 mph. The mild hybrid system gives it a nice extra push when I need it. Matter of fact it feels a little quicker than my previous car, a 2020 V60CC. All of the safety systems keep me honest and make me look like a safer driver. Best of all, it is supremely comfortable All in all, it is a great car and I am happy to have it.

Google app unfulfilling, bring back Sensus!
Volvo went back in time with google. It keeps telling me it can’t perform the functions I used in my prior Volvos that had the Volvo app powered by Sensus. The Google apps do not compare with the functionality of Sensus. Volvo says an update is coming soon, but doesn’t say if it will be like the superior Sensus app features or something else. Disappointed in Volvo decision to replace Sensus with Google in the 2023 models, the Volvo app is nearly useless now without Sensus. Google maps is the only improvement that is worthwhile.

Could be a great suv except for lots of annoyances
Pros: Very solid feeling, good power (especially if you add polestar tuning to the B5 engine), decent space, good visibility, pilot assist is pretty solid on long drives, comfortable seats, material quality inside is nice. Cons: eCall SOS button, GPS, LTE stopped working at <9K miles, unclear timeline as to when volvo will get the part to fix Lots of buzzes and rattles, particularly from the headliner, undercarriage, and trunk. Some fixed by Volvo after multiple visits. Infotainment glitches & resets & for some reason cannot be updated OTA (early 2023 models) Auto stop start once caused a stall at a traffic light that required a restart of the car Transmission can be very laggy when trying to pass & activating polestar mode requires clicking a few menus deep.
