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.

This is my third Volvo and my second XC60. The ride is smooth and the vehicle is easy to drive. I really wanted a hybrid and I am very satisfied with the XC60 in this respect. I am a city driver, the electric range when fully charged is 39-40 miles, and I rarely use gas. There are a lot of safety features on this vehicle, great sensors, etc. I have not had any software issues, but the Google system does take a while to learn. If I could, I would change the interior storage - the bins are not large or deep enough to store much, even an umbrella on the doors can fall out. The top to the middle console bin cuts into the space of the cup holders. No phone charging pad, so I had to buy one. Overall a great SUV.

In the hybrid mode, performance is brisk with good acceleration. Braking distance is average and ride comfort is good. Luggage compartment storage is good but not great. Where the car is deficient is the software. Over the air upgrades often are unavailable so you can easily be multiple versions out of synch. The software is glitchy and settings that should be “sticky” like automatic high beams are not and sticky settings get turned off when the function is used (wipers and rain sensor). No AM radio and the garage door opener is a $995 part (plus installation). Your favorite radio stations while retained must be manually turned on with each start of the car. If Navigation is in use and displayed on the infotainment system you can’t see the radio station. The infotainment system is glitchy and periodically does not load at startup which means a 3-5 minute reboot process before you drive away. UPDATE: The car is beautiful, seating and visibility absolutely perfect. Lots of storage, comfortable ride and very quiet but the software is terrible. First, no gauges for something as simple as engine or coolant temperature, oil pressure or tire pressure (even though it has tire pressure sensors. Low pressure, guess! The lane keep assistant works even when turned off. Why have a setting to turn off? In a road with diversions due to construction, get ready to fight with the car. The radio is a joke. No AM, set your favorites and you still need to engage them by selecting favorites every time you start the car. There is no balance control on the sound settings. The Google system will reboot itself at least once per month with no warning so be prepared as if you are using any function (I.e,Navigation or the radio) you are out of luck until it reboots (2-5 minutes). The settings for the automatic high beams is not sticky, so you need to turn it on every time you start the car. Even if you are driving in hybrid mode, you still need to turn on charge mode every time you start the car or regenerative braking will not work. Then to top it off, you want garage door opener functionality?, be prepared to spend $995 in the optional mirror to have that.

First one I had bumped into cars in front of me twice. Car took over the front collision system and it failed. No damage, but. . .Anyway Volvo got into another car quickly and I love it. Fast handles well gets .e around town on the battery . Android auto responds well to voice commands.
Good drive the rest a struggle
