Thanks for watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Gotta agree, Volvo’s wagons are gorgeous. I could do with less plastic cladding, but I’ll take ‘em regardless.
the plastic cladding is only on cross country models. Standard models don't have plastic cladding.
they sure are
I believe you can actually get the Cross Country models without the plastic cladding, as my neighbour’s V90 CC is all colour coded.
@@treerexaudi I see ur name everywhere, car videos and forza horizon videos. Do u not have a life lmao
@@DudeWithAGoatee epic and yes life I have
That sound system is amazing.
I keep coming back mostly to hear that sound system. It's mind-blowing.
Of what car
This car is amazing!
Finally a perspective that didn't drone on about steering feel or compare it to a BMW's steering feel. The most important part of a car's ownership isn't steering feel to most buyers. It's how is it to live with everyday. And how does it feel after driving it regularly day after day. And that's where Volvos shine.
i like how the 2020 volvo still has the leather feel of 2005 car. heavy leather luxury
You have the voice of a radio jockey, I could listen to you talk all day long!
I’m so thankful for Volvo for not forcing customers to buy the raised model with plastic cladding. You can get a regular V60. Mercedes is doing away with their regular E class wagon :(
You can't get the normal V60 with AWD anymore, though, which is kind of ridiculous.
Update: You can only buy the Cross Country wagons in America now, both V60 and V90.
Saab driver here, I love driving these v60s and would spec one with the B&W sound system, pilot assist and massaging seats.
What a beautiful car. I always enjoy the POV ride with you Topher! This by far was the most relaxing and therapeutic drive of the week.
My favorite POV drive with you is behind the wheel of the 2019 Type R Sonic Grey. Those first and last impression POV videos you made is one of the reasons why I’m planning on getting that car sometime this year. I’ve been watching those videos daily while we’ve been asked to Shelter in Place here in the Bay Area. I’m looking at getting a Red one. Watching those videos helps me stay positive and something to look forward to hopefully after we get our lives back together again.
Hell yeah long live the wagon! These deserve so much more love than they get. I gotta say...if I needed a daily dad whip cruiser, this would probably be my #1 choice. I might skip the cross country and I think I’d get a lower trim version to keep the price in check. But I’d probably splurge on the B&W audio, too
This is very tempting and your test drive makes it even more so!
The new Volvo lineup is quite nice. My Mom has the 2020 XC90 T6 Inscription AWD and it’s one of the nicest interiors I’ve ever seen. Plus when you step on it, it pulls hard as hell with the supercharger 😂

This is crying out for those killer plaid seat option. Bonus points to Volvo for including a spare tire.
the proportions of this badboy is great, the cross package makes it look a little extra confident, from the regular v60.
I'm a 2017 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design owner. The V90 T6 Cross Country Ocean Race Edition would be my Volvo wagon of choice. This V60CC looks great as well though.
I love this vehicle, the only gripe I have is the Canadian market spec. The only available seat option is those found in the base momentum, without leg extensions or the improved bolstering.
cant wait to buy one of these in 10 years lmao
MonkeyChop lmao same. Right now I have 2005 Volvo s40. I’m 5 years late already.
ikr
20 years😂😂😂
at Volvo's depreciation rate I think it will pretty much already be at the bottom at 5 years
My dream car ! It’s gorgeous and …perfect .
Thank you for reviewing this. My husband and I are torn on either this vehicle or a Genesis SUV. I personally want this Volvo over the Genesis.
This sound system was easily the best one I’ve heard on one of your videos and I’ve basically watched all of them. That’s insane
Birch light with blond interior is the most beautiful combo
As soon as you hit the highway I was like damn it ain't picking up anywhere near as fast as the 850r!
I'm curious your thoughts on the 2020 Audi A4 All-Road in comparison to this? With that said... I'd love to see a review on that vehicle if possible!
How do you get those cars and review them? I really want to start doing a thing like that my self
the last time i was this early was when corona virus was still a joke.
Beautiful car.
How-come you don't look over your shoulder when changing lanes?
Great reviews. How is Volvo reliability? I'm drawn to this Volvo but a little concerned about maintenance costs. My 2009 Acura TSX has been mostly problem free and still purrs coming up on 13 years. I just wonder if I would be disappointed switching from Japanese reliability to European luxury (lack of) reliability. At least that my perception based on my colleagues' stories of their bills for BMWs and Audis.
Wish they made a T6 version of this, but I understand demand for wagons is already low , but the T6 regular wagon version (non cross country) is special order only.
Good price for this car . Good car 👍
I'd love a V60 that's not the cross country version or even a V90. Save the wagons!!
Nice review! Next time chuck it into that manual drive and the throttle response may surprise you!
The sound system test.. It seemed like i was listening to a mp3 on my youtube, not the sound typically caputed by microphones.
v60cc design is Good!
If my daily driver had a sound system like that, I'd never leave the car. That's easily the best system I've heard over TH-cam.
Hi thetopher can you make a video about the 2020 chevrolet corvete
Hey this is to all of you asking I found the song the song is pink mirrors
would you buy a 2017 v90 t5 XC?
Bowers & Wilkins speakers 😈 🥺
hows the reliability? thats the thing that scares the f outta me tbh
Please review the audi q5
Hello
What is the exact colour ?
9:18 what song though?
This thing/automobile is a work of art you know, are anyone surpriced its designed and made in SWEDEN
Great
At 10:02 is that the mirror vibrating from the bass?
Cerwyn Lewis idk about in the video, but I drive an S60 and the door mirrors do start vibrating once the volume goes over halfway up.
Yea it just happens. Even my 2013 Civic EX-L with the "Premium Audio System" does this.
that interior is super white
Looks like a pain to keep clean
Are they reliable?
The engine's been out for several years now. It has held up pretty good for what it is.
yes
Less than average (problems per 100 vehicles). I'd say no but close.
@@MrCarGuy
Volvo owner?
J High i dont think so, volvos are actually reliable.
which car company in your opinion has the best audio ?
TM Pretty much in 2020 all companies use a high end sound system.
The B&O system from Audi is the best I've ever listened in a car.
Anyone know what color this car was?
Birch light
Where were u driving mate
jamal, I would say the Ann Arbor, Michigan area.
Gr8 vid. But you're going to have to pry my racing green '95 Volvo 850 Turbo wagon from my cold dead hands.......my 2nd favorite of all ever owned. ('93 VW Corrado VR6 SLC being my 1st.)
🙌 P80 ftw
Omg I want that car but I'm only 13 about to be 14 and just got back from driving lessons no srsly I did and it was so fun but pretty anxious LOL
you guys get driving lessons at 13? lucky
You remind me of myself when I used to be 13. Cheers lad. Enjoy learning how to drive and the memories you make while you're at it. Once this time goes by you, you'll never get it again. Have fun, enjoy, drive safe.
@@martin8313 not directly my mom teaches me I'm ok driving at that age if I'm not on a busy road 😂 it's ok you'll get it to if your around my age 👍
I'm here for that ASMR touching.
I really hate that Wagons went out of style for the most part. I'd rather have one of these than a SUV or Crossover
Wagons are nice and practical but I'm a crossover guy. I get reminded of that everytime I step into my car.
I thought Swedish roads were bad, but this? 😅
Looks like $56,xxx 😍
It sure would be nice if Volvo would stop cutting engine choices and other options in the NA market every frickin' year the S/V60-series is available. How about they give us the B6 or T6 PHEV powertrain? Bring back AWD on the normal wagon? Put the paddles back on the R-Design trims? It's getting ridiculous; these cars were on my radar two years ago and now, in MY2021 with my current lease coming up, they've de-contented and generally reduced them so much that there's just no substance for the money anymore. And that's before accounting for Volvo's other brand quirks.
this car is awesome. better than those german shitcars who pretend to be "premium". but the price of volvo is way too high
huh? german cars arent premium enough but this one's priced too highly?
Show us on the doll where the Germans touched you.
you gey what you pay for.
