The 2018 Volvo XC60 is out and we got our hands on the T6 AWD R-design trim. Come see what I have to say about the good, the bad, and the ugly of this beautiful mid-size SUV from Volvo. Did Volvo make a seriously strong SUV competitor or will this one just blend in with the crowd in an already saturated segment?

Loved having this car for a week! What a joy to drive. Something not often said about SUVs and crossovers. Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding this model here: contact@shiftinglanes.com
Definitely 1st
Also Polestar V40 is better
Vehicle is hot , and a way better value compared to Audi etc . Wife and I did extensive research and test drives , and this vehicle came up best for us . The color is superb .
Can you please share as promised why check engine light was on?
Wondering what the check engine light was about?
What was the check engine light for?
These engines have been around since 2015 in the s60 drive e cars. On these earlier cars there have been issues of the spark plugs breaking and falling into the cylinder damaging the engine. It seems like the issue has been sorted now.
Ok
Yeah, I’m a service tech at a volvo dealership and there is an ongoing recall on those spark plugs. Any time someone brings their car in for service, we change the spark plugs for free under warranty if they haven’t been changed yet.
Actually 2014, cause they introduced it in the new XC90
so have you seen these new XC60's with hot center dash's?
What was the check engine light? Curious because I got one of the first batches of the 2018 XC60 R-Designs where it was manufactured in Europe. It is nearly a year old now with more than 12000 miles on it. I have the T6 with the Polstar software upgrade. I drive in dynamic mode nearly daily leaving my office and flooring it to merge onto traffic :-) . Almost as much fun as the '16 S4 I had for a bit but way more room and better tech. So far the only problem I had was a bad speaker on delivery (B&W). Tires are ridiculous though. Since I bought it at the start of the winter I went to get another set of tires the next day to find that at the time there were exactly 8 tires that fit all summer tires except one winter tire. Now I think there are more options available. I am leasing it, concerned about the longevity of the motor and how I would probably flog it at every opportunity.
Looks like it was just improper gas octane rating. Since I was in Maine, they did not have 93 available. I put in 91.
so not a good car for CA (we only get up-to 91 Octane gas)
Nope, 91 is recommended for the T6 engine. For the lower tiers, 87 is enough. volvo.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9746/~/fuel-requirements
How are you still liking your xc60? I’m worried about all the techs needing expensive maintenance after the warranted period
your video volume is low. i have my computer cranked up and its still dull. thnx for sharing the video
Another bad, those 21 inch tires will cost you 375 to 400 each! We were shopping for an T5 r-design and make sure this is not an option came with.
Does it had the sport suspension?
Wow you are right there are now complaints about the transmission in consumer reports and the S90 ranked lowest in reliability in the luxury midsize car
It’s almost like I know what I’m doing. Almost...
for what year?
Awesome 😃 👍
Do the rear seats recline?
they do not
The color is Bursting Blue.. just fyi
How does it hold up against the BMW X3?
X3 is just slightly better.
@@markm4123 x3 slightly better at breaking
2:40 R Design doesn't "come with 21" wheels" standard wheel size is 19", 21" is an option.
Nope. It is standard in the R design pro. 2 variants of r design
@@jzy0104 incorrect, I just bought one, R Design standard wheels are 19" - or you can pay more for optional 21" and 22" wheels, at least in the US, maybe different in other areas.
You are absolutely right. I stand corrected.
I have owned 3 Volvos. Check engine light goes on and off on this brand of cars. Not much of a concern.
🤣yikes
45" sidewalls? (5:45) Wow!!!
The color i bursting blue
the R design trim is only looks, you can basically spec the inscription to the same numbers but with different looks
R design has 10mm lower and stiffer springs for the standard. Pro has air suspension.
The ugly is that stupid rear door line thing, the one that enters the back wheel hose and I don’t think that the Bowers & Wilkins sound system is not worth to pay about 2 base model 01 V70n/p2 2,4 liter extra over stock.
I personally think that it should go around like the old generation XC60 but other than that I think it looks great.
I been in a Polestar V60 that was Rebel blue and that does not look like it.
The bad i miss the B5254, B5244 and B5204 based 5 cylinder engines.
The Bowers & Wilkins sounds great compared to stock. I also miss the 5 cylinder engines, they made a great sound.
I'm sorry but it looks like you need to study the Volvo xc 60 before you make the video, a lot of wrong information
All information is from Volvo itself. There is no wrong info.
4:30 you are wrong. Bursting Blue.
Calm down dork
1st right?
i wish this manufacturer fetish for 19", 20", 21" wheels would just stop. it makes aftermarket tires a pain in the ass. extremely limited selection in those sizes and extremely expensive.
the 21s were optional. The R came with 19s
Instead of a driving review, you are giving engine future feedback. Not good review.
sorry not correct the suede / nubuck is in NO WAY alcantera it is leather sort of distressed but leather alcantera is man made i would suggest staying away from it as it does not wear well sorry
I say Nubuck in the video and correct myself. It is correct.
-Gregson
Volvo calls it alcanteraTM
