2024 Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
First Month Experience
My only extras are massage seats, climate package and 21" wheels. The fit and finish on the vehicle is great. Handles solidly with a good sense of traction on the road. It takes corners nicely. The steering is more to the luxury feel which is my preference. As for ride I live on a brick street and it handles them smoothly. Very quiet. Great get up and go with the engine! EV range has been exceeding advertised at 44mpe. Both front and rear seats are EXTREMELY comfortable. The massage seats are superior to my the BMW 530e I traded and almost as good as my previous Nautilus. The Google Info system has been seemless for my needs. The Volvo app functions nicely. The vehicle seat height is at the sweet spot between the low sedan and high large SUVs. Overall interior materials are highend with the exception of a few panels which are hard plastic, center console sides, glove compartment door, side door pockets and ceiling hand pulls. A vehicle at this price point I think this is subpar. If you can touch it, it should have a quality feel. If safety is a priority then the rear passenger windows should lower all the way down in case you need to climb out in an emergency. A few features missing in my opinion are power adjustable steering wheel, specific tire pressure display, configurable interior theme lighting, wireless phone charger and wireless CarPlay. The showroom sales experience at 2 different dealers was low pressure and respectful which could be a nod to Volvo philosophy perhaps. Overall currently enjoying the vehicle.

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

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.
2024 xc60 Plus Dark plug in hybrid
Should have gone with initial choice of mild hybrid. Very disappointed - getting 15 mpg. Heavy vehicle, drives like a truck, needs brakes when not using gas pedal as accelerates on the slightest incline. So disappointed I got caught up in the 63 miles e, 30 hybrid. Not seeing either!

Feels cheap
I had it for a week now. Feels poorly made and not very thought through. Small things like: The accelerator pedal makes a rubbing noise when depressed. No battery charge limit (it is a plug-in hybrid) - so I have to time the charging using an alarm on my phone. No playback control from the steering wheel - have to use inconveniently located play/pause button, or use the display. Front split seats are not comfortable. The trunk opens with a loud click. Android Auto was taken away (2024 model). The engine is loud and sounds like a clunker. The sunroof cover is see through. No climate control - it doesn't automatically adjust fan speed or turns on/off A/C mode. It is a touch screen version of my 1998 Camry. Good things: 455 combined hp (the only reason I got it). responsive entertainment system, especially map (although the screen gets too hot to keep a finger on it for more than a second) Compared to my Highlander I've been driving for 10 years, XC60 feels a step down (I thought Toyota entertainment system was bad). The only thing it has that is luxury is the price.
