I don’t mind the retract of the sunroof screen because at least you don’t have to hold the button until it closes. Now if I had to keep my finger on the button I’d be annoyed.
Clever man. Volvo is number one. You would get stressed if it was faster in a stressfull day :D
Why does it need to be any faster? It doesn't.
How is the reliability of these cars? Have you had any issues? I'm stuck between mazda cx-9 signature, lexus rx350, acura mdx and this one. I just want a reliable car with a few nice touches...
CALLA2024 If reliability is your number one consideration, it has to be a Lexus. Lexus have consistently been top of reliability surveys for several years.
Yes. Why the f is he sitting waiting for it to close? OCD extremis. Does he sit paralysed in front of a dishwasher until it finishes?
Mat, I'm from Canada and this is my favorite TH-cam channel for car reviews. You sold me on the Volvo XC60. I just got mine XC60 T6 R-Design yesterday. I can't stop driving it. It's amazing.
Thanks for your tips.
Hi Alex, I am buying the momentum today from Alberta.How's your experience with it after 2 years :)
harsh kumar I just got mine in Ontario a couple of weeks ago. Amazing experience so far, doesn’t fail to amuse on all terms. Curious to know how she does a couple of years down the road though !
@@omarbedair volvo is reliable?
I’ve been looking for one of those precisely! Glad to heer you like it.
I drove a T6 rental, my wife’s rental, and it was so hard to say goodbye 😭
Volvo have absolutely hit it out the park with this XC60. Having viewed features and driving capabilities of the X3, GLC, Q5, I feel the Volvo beats the rivals in almost every department. The Volvo comes standard with all “necessary” features that the German 3 make you pay extra for. Ridiculous how Audi make you pay for a reverse camera and electric tailgate - features that are standard on Korean cars.
4:00 You didn’t need to hold your finger on the blind switch, so that’s not a problem.
Is the ``slow sunroof`` really and issue? Really?
Ja kob no he just had no other real issues. my parents have a xc60 and i really like the sunroof
if the '' slow sunroof'' is worth a complaint, in my opinion, only shows how good the car actually is.
Also needs to have some complains so the review seems unbiased
There was an earthquake during filming?
@Yoda I think the cameraman sam has been drinking lately
Longest earthquake ever recorded.
I believe that despite all the minor issues it has, the XC60 is a fantastic vehicle.
is your cameraman okay?
massage
not after making that mark on the dash trim.... :)
Camera Man had too much weed today
massage
Porsche 69 then he wouldn't move at all
more like no weed
Thats not weed, thats meth...
Camera so shaky
yeah, use some stabilization please. Getting dizzy
His camera man just got faired couse of you xD
Denis Alex also for damaging his XC60🤣🤣🤣
the camera man is having a massage
unwatchable
I own a v90cc and I absolutely love the around view camera system! It also seems to be more wide-angle (showing more of the ground around your car) than some other around view systems in other cars :)
That interior design is so lovely & breathtaking
Yes
Just bought one today, fell in love with it!
I just recently purchased my T5 Momentum about a week ago. I switched over from a 2014 Audi Q5 3.0T Prestige. I have to say, the technology in the Volvo is simply unbeatable. I absolutely love the functional built in to the infotainment screen. The parking sensors and camera views have made everything so much easier as well.
Good choise!
I just love the simplicity and "cleanness" and videoformat of carwow's videos. Love this channel, also the host is amazing at his job!
Yes some little issues, but the car is so sophisticated you overlook the, on a long run up to 50.5 mpg, the load cover is a bit of a flaf but take your time and it's not a problem.Now just up to 12 months old, and love it.Very proud to be driving in it.
I think you are annoyed by the search option in spotify, because you're on the wrong side of the car.
...and you don't have to hit the q-mark, you can just swipe to right and you are there..
Dixit
I just love Volvo cars! Heated steering wheel is a must in Finland 😄👍
Bought one yesterday and I am so so happy with it best car in the world , so responsive aswell the car and the screen.
My mother just got an XC60 and I am really impressed with it. There are some slightly annoying quirks, but it's a fantastic car overall
Had ours for 2 weeks and I love it. The interior on this car is probably the nicest in its class. My opinion anyway.
Curtesy car: XC60 D5 same spec as reviewed. Brilliant loved the smooth power and comfort amazing. I have a 2018 VW Tiguan SE and it feels 50% behind the Volvo in every way
Mat, would have been nice to get some insight on what its like to drive.
Exactly My point
Mat, what’s the maintenance and the running cost compared to Audi Q5 and the BMW X3? Thanks!
I would say X3 is cheaper to buy and better maintenance is the same but if want use main dealers (sealers..) then Audi are better for fixed pricing of longer term maintenance but you pays your money and takes your choices but I got my X3 F25 LCI and I am happy with it 🙃 mostly but never forget to maintain the gearbox, diffs and transfer box.
Volvo is cheaper to repair at least
My 2019 XC60 (less than 6 months old) has been in the shop 11 business days for service issues. 12V charge error, EV emissions Error, Hose Replacements, Audio Module Replacement and Recall.
Wow, hopefully that will be it, Here in the states we have a lemon law that says if it is in the shop more than three times, you can return the car and get your money back. What I've read is the most common problem on a Volvo is the transmission goes out at 30,000 miles and some go out multiple times. I have a 2020 so I am hoping they have improved the transmissions.
Just ordered a fully loaded XC60 T6 R-Design in white with 22" rims. It's a true beauty. As far as exterior and interior are concerend, X3, Q5 and GLC do not even come close. Can't wait to get it in 3-4 months.
I have a 2019 R Design XC 60 and love it. The 2 minor niggles that i have is the brake creak when coming to a stop and the auto wipers that can go beserk when fine rain hits the windscreen and ignores heavy rain drops. Apart from that, the car is mint.
I Think the reason that the confusion you have with the arrows for the massage seats is that it’s made in a country where the steering wheel is in the left side. So it would probably make more sense if you was sitting in the passenger seat.
park in is hugely useful for the people who live in my home town, way too many drive around the town time and time again just to find an easy parking spot even if it involves walking for 20 minutes to reach where they wanted to go. it is extremely useful for me as one of those who is good at parallel park cause i can always find a parking spot within less than a minute of where i wanted to go, some of them a little bit challenging to park at with my 5 meter long car but it just makes it more fun for the extra challenge
Probably the only car I would ever need. It has almost everything I want from a normal car.
About the Spotify app you can always swipe to the left to search instead of hitting the search icon, owner of a v90 :)
tigsundell Buy an XC 70 cross country AWD 2.4 litre engine and let your man experience a proper car not a telephone
Mat’s got a Hickey on his neck @ 6:12.
Michael Corleone now you know he fell on the vacuum cleaner hose. Lol.
Craig D My bad mate! The assumptions were getting outta control.
Michael Corleone hahahahahaha
Michael Corleone The chick from carbuyer gave it to him.
Lol he'd be so lucky!
Love how honest you are about the car although its been lent to you! Respect to you and Volvo for that.
It doesn’t matter what car it is he keeps it unbiased & even funny!
I don't know about others but personally i prefer the classic interior layout with physical buttons to control stuff not these smartphones on wheels.... somehow for me it breaks the immersion and looks too
The touchscreen was one of the reasons we didn't buy one. I wanted physical controls for heating/cooling/seat warmers. Too dangerous to have to look at the screen. The other reason was I hated the seats. Not comfortable at all. Ended up buying an X3 - get it in March.
So you like BMWs that have the same interior from 05 in all the modern cars...
Volvo are going forward. Not backwards
Philip MacGovern well you made the right choice, congratulations on your new wheels
Completely agree! I need to control stuff without having to look at the controls. I just have to know where a button/knob is, feel it with my fingers and use it without looking. The future is voice control, not touchscreens that make you take your eyes off the road and slow down.
Of course you could use the voice commands for all those and never even take your hands off of the wheel and that's safer still.
That's a perfect car, but I would have chosen the pine grey + bowers and wilkins sound system.
We actually have the XC60 D5 Momentum with only winter pack.
I would be happier even with your spec.
That smile when the car responded!!
Volvo is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!👨🏼💻

Volvo and merc
Interior bad quality
@@pipilangstrumpf7076 you are bad quality.
Yes preach
as far as I can see, not a single word about what it's like to drive, ride comfort etc., which most of us are more interested in than the tech, which many reviewers seem obsessed with
We have one and it's great and smooth to drive. You wont be dissapointed.
I've been in love with Volvo from the age of 5
We love the car I like how you can personalize the driving dynamics. So if you think the steering is too light you can tighten it up and keep the vehicle in comfort mode awesome job Volvo. The vehicle is intuitive and drives great and the T5 R -Design is a sporty looking suv and extremely practical.
I never comment ...but you are a GREAT reviewer!! Thanks from America for all you thoughts!
was the cameraman drunk or something?
massage
I agree with the Trunk-Cover thing... on my last car (Mercedes E-Class) there was automatic-system build-in, that reacts with the opening and closing the trunk... way better than that manual cover!
OnePlus 5!!
t545o sadly the 5T is a much better phone
I'd rather have my fingerprint scanner on the front ;)
Why were you holding the sunroof button until blind was full open, it has a one touch function the same as windows.
Most of the things you're complaining about being unable to do while driving your free car are things you're not supposed to be doing while driving.
Yas -Daddy- Mat I've been waiting for this video 😆😆😆👊👊👊
K
With you being male, that sounds so wrong.
Miloš Sinđelić Not if you’re gay it doesn’t daddy.
Lj Jones what about the straight person that you're telling that to?
Miloš Sinđelić It’s becoming part of humorous language. Fucking lighten up sook.
Some people are objecting to the rear doors which form part of the rear wheel arch. This results in dirt on the crescent shape of the open door. Personally I'm used to this, having run several Range Rovers, but I do prefer the XC90 type where the door meets the wheel arch rather than forms part of it. Especially as I live in the countryside and often drive down dogshit alleys and cowshit covered lanes.
The sunroof and its blind takes some getting used to but once mastered is brilliant.
Voice control is also brilliant, especially for temperature setting and turning seat and steering heating on and off. Not so much for the phone. Good also for choosing audio source but steering wheel controls better for choosing channels from preset favourites in my experience.
Cruise control functions and controls are the best I've ever used by far. Speed limit sign recognition not so hot and my Qashqai is more reliable in this aspect.
Huw Williams Volvo put weatherstrips to the edge of the door frame to stop the dirt and grime from soiling you.
Good taste in music Mat.
I never thought a video on cars would have me crying with laughter. Thank you for your nitpicky-ness.
Had me laughing all through the video
Use your indeksfinger and thumb ehen you are retrackting the sunroof, use the thumb to pull the lever down. I had the same problem when i first got my xc90
I'd check this car out before and I like happy to see you think so too.
I love the car, been driving it for about a month. Its amazing! I didn't know it had the massage options for the seats.
Hello , I am concern about the cabin noise of xc60. Is it acceptable? Thank you!
I hope you get the scratch on the dash fixed, because I’m the same way something like that would drive me crazy in my BMW X3
You had me spot on at the sunroof accessment
Only annoying thing i've found is that the aircon fan is very noisy if you want to use aircon in the rear passenger seats. I'm told that's because it's a single fan system. That and you can't connect Apple car play via bluetooth.
Selecting the magnifying glass is simply done by swiping the whole screen to the right. Very easy, even while driving.
OMG! This was so entertaining 🤣 especially your demonstration of retracting the privacy cover. So funny but very informative video. Thanks for doing this.
At least when set to Swedish the voice control is very good. It can turn on heated seats, heated steering wheel, set the temperature and can start navigation really quickly and easily.
This car is amazing! They just launched it in India for 80,000 Pounds! Fully Loaded D5 Inscription model. XC60 is once again best in class!
#shakecam
:)))
Wish CarWoW was in Ireland as we only have Dick Turpin and his merry men! Great video!
Is the GLC a better drive/car?
I love the new XC60 😍
You know the saying, "Once you buy iPhone, you are never going back to Android". I just got my Volvo XC60 / 2018 inscription D4/AWD with 170k passed for the price of 32 000 euros.
Now, I dont think I will ever buy a different car except this.
Really love this car, interior and exterior!
Fair dinkum Mat & that load cover cracked me up.....!!!
The sunroof closing slowly ist perhaps a security feature for children which cant let their fingers off anything moving in a car.
Volvos Mission is to prevent anybody ever getting harmed (badly) in or with an accident with a new Volvo.
Its closing slowly, yes. But its closing safe for our all childrens Fingers. And I like it
The gloves feature which lead to kinda chunky buttons and a glove-friendly touchscreen ist also nice. Its a nobrainer. Its a car from sweden where its often super cold so its kinda useful
This car is my favourite, only thing that keeps bothering me is that I can't image these touchscreens lasting 10+ years. (In any modern car, not just Volvo for that matter)
They won't. Once the car is out of warranty, they'll break and they will cost a fortune to fix. I can't imagine anyone wanting to pay a few grand to fix the screen that controls all the functions when the car is 10+ years old and only worth a few grand itself.
Why wouldn't they last. There are loads of cars over 10 years old that have touchscreens that work just fine. They just seem outdated nowadays.
Protector of the Republic
Sure, the car will get a signal from Volvo once the warranty has expired and it will explode. Do you have other interesting conspiracy theories to share with us?
No, you moron. There's no conspiracy, especially not from Volvo since I own one and know they made reliable cars. What I meant is that after a number of years has passed, the car goes out of warranty and you'll be stuck with major repair bills if this thing breaks.
Is there ANYTHING in a car lasting 10+ years? And if it breaks just replace it.
And why even care when it's about tech that will be outdated in about less than 5 years anyway?
Better than audi q5..bravo volvo
Mario Banović that's not hard
Designed by former audi chef designer.
In terms of engineering the Audi is better
why?
Just came from a test ride for the Volvo XC60. While the car and interior looks beautiful and premium. The infotainment and the ride quality from an Audi is miles ahead. Things like air suspension, engine, cabin noise and just overall power delivery of the drivetrain is so much better on an Audi.
i love the new xc60. the design and comfort are ahead of competition. overall good video thanks Matt
Volvo, Acura and some lexus models are the only luxury brands you can still use regular petrol rather than premium.
Although, highly recommended you alternate premium every other fillup in luxury vehicles, so it keeps the engine running smoothly.
First I like my xc60 a lot. All the electronic /media stuff is nice but you are correct about the pull out panel in the back. I never use it. What I do like is the 300 hp 6.
Is this volvo reliable? Does it take you to a dealership a lot?
I have a 2010 XC 60 that has been the best car I've ever owned. Love my large sunroof! It has never had an issue other than regular maintenance. Don't know if I really want to upgrade to a new one yet. I may drive it until the doors fall off.
I bought a XC60 Inscription about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I have to say though, I don’t have the same level of problems with the cargo cover that the presenter did but it can be finicky.
my dad has it, we are very happy with it
We are getting the hybrid version, can’t wait!
Shaking camera is really annoying
I love my XC60 but sure, there are some things I'd change;
1) the 360 camera; wish there was a way to default to it when I'm parking- like a quick button
2) with all that screen, let me pick 1,2,3 for my seat/wheel heating/cooling
3) Subaru allow the Lane keep assist to remain active when I hit the brakes. I can't seem to do that here..
4) Google maps should show on me drivers display
5) overall, some refining of the center screen interface is needed. The 3 panes force me to navigate away from my maps to answer a call- the list is pretty long for this one
There is more but you got me thinking. Thanks for the video
I can't afford this one, can you review the xc40?
bobbinsnest he already did
bobbinsnest go for the momentum variant
It’s way cheaper
Mat is listening The Velvet Underground, nice :)
volvo is bringing its a game and has really been doing amazing
2 words: Optical Stabilization (y)
Great review. Those volvos just make sense. The styling is unique and elegant Love them. good family car i bet.
Welcome back VOLVO
the Volvo XC60 is acording to me the best looking suv, which means that it looks ok ish in my eyes, but i'm not in the right demographic for this car since i hate suvs. but props to Volvo for making a suv that i wouldn't feel ashamed to drive which is nice.
other than the looks, it is a volvo which is my favorite brand of cars of all times. and you can never go wrong with a volvo
Real time mapping is only available if connected to internet via internal modem (using you own sim card) or external internet access, otherwise it only occurs every couple of hours via volvo's modem hence it showing congestion when its now clear.
I have a 2009 Volvo xc60 t6. Many of the features you talked about here are present but I do like some of the other ones like heated steering wheel and parking 360° Camera.
Great video Volvo XC60 has many superb functionalities and the bmw x3 and merc glc better get ready
Glad to see you’re kicking the Oneplus!
We had the same issue with the search button and we called Volvo and they said that you can easily swipe over the screen so you don’t have to kick it while driving.
Surprised you like the interior, I thought it looked awful and touch screens are so difficult to operate whilst driving. For me the Peugeot 3008 suv has the most impressive interior.
I hired a Volvo XC90 and it had the best sound system of any car I’ve been in, truly impressive.
Mat has a One Plus 5 phone? Wow. Respect.
At you have a oneplus 5 too!
Funny! I know, Volvo's are a bit quirky, but that's what makes them Volvo's and I love them!
love my 2019 XC60 T6 r-design!
Man you really had to get deep to find any complaints with this car ! It's a great vehicle just admit it .
I see that with a lot of Volvo vehicle reviews.
Tax returns and bonuses coming up I’m trying to decide between the xc60 and the xc90. Both are really good looking and underrated. This video definitely timely for me
Lewis Lawrence cx90 too big
The worst thing for me is backing up and my side view mirrors tilt down and then I pull out and go to use the mirror as I am
Pulling out and it is too slow to return to position. I’ve pulled out without seeing if the road was clear.
Think you can change the settings on that
I think you can change which mirror goes down or if they go down at all. Can’t change the speed, but good point I will probably change it so just my passenger side view drops so I can see the curb when parallel parking.
