I have 2020 XC60 and I just love it. Clean, simple yet stylish interiors. It just feels nice to sit in the car
I've got a gen 1 XC60 (picked up in Dec 2009). It's big enough without being too big and has had only 1 mechanical issue since it was new (an o-ring failed, losing AC coolant). It's an appliance... you walk out side and it fires up every time. A perfect daily driver. The new one seems to sit a bit lower, which is actually a good thing. Very nice!
Thanks for this review! You used the exact descriptive language that I'm looking for!
Purchased the T5 Momentum, denim blue/blonde interior, climate package, AWD. Drives nice!
Congrats!
Love the review
I purchased 2021 R-design black -
Will receive it 21st Dec next week 😍
Love your attention to details. Excellent review!
Just utilizing the full painted body colored scheme makes this, and any other vehicle appear far more attractive! Less black plastic cladding is just far more appealing to my eyes.
Purchased the R design pro, B5 in Black, can’t wait for it to arrive next month
i like ur reviews, i went to drive it and fell it love.. .thanks!
We had one as a rental while our BMW X3 was being repaired. I think this is a beautiful vehicle, very refined and comfortable. Probably switching soon. 🤔 great video.
How strange that you posted this today ... I just got home from my Volvo dealer. Ordered the XC60 T8 eAWD Inscription 2021 in white with blonde interior. 👍🏻
please let us know how you like it. I am thinking of getting one too
The light interior is hands down the best! I got light interior on my V70 and planning on getting that on any new Volvo car I get aswell.
Good choice, long story short I recently picked up my 2020 XC60 Momentum T6 AWD with pro and plus package. The big disappointment for me is this whole time i thought with the pro and plus package., it had the Park Pilot. For anyone reading this and considering a XC60 please keep in mind, the 2020 and 2021 XC60 Momentum trim will not have the Park Pilot (the pro package adds the 'Park assist') If you really want that volvo park pilot that auto steers and parks the car, you must get the R-design or Inscription or Polestar. This is where it blows my mind. The 2019 XC60 Momentum actually has the park pilot with the pro package. Why did they removeeeeee it.................. and why doesnt the sales knowwwwwwwwww until i told them to confirm right before i picked up my vehicle? This is all because the Momentum front and rear bumper only has 4 sensors. In order for the park pilot to work, it needs 2 additional censors located on near the front wheel just right above it. I have emailed volvo to ask if it is something i can purchase in the future like buying the R-design bumper and equipping those two additional sensors to have park pilot.
@@benjovic7498 Thank you Bob! That's what I have in mind which I like to get the T6 Inscription.
@@appleapple6053 In terms of pricing the inscription T6 is about 7-8k USD more than a fully loaded Momentum T6 (like mentioned it just does not have the park pilot) If price is not an issue, The polestar xc60 is the perfect mid size luxury SUV. Don't get fooled by the 415hp by the t8, because thats a E and Gas combined horsepower XD. You will only feel the speed of around 300hp. If you are buying a Volvo im pretty sure you are not going after the performance and speed.
Took delivery of our CX60 T6 a week ago and after driving almost 2000 km already I can say it's been a really enjoyable experience with a good balance of both comfort and performance.
Congrats!
Man I recognized your voice! I didn't know this was another video made by George!
Great review! Thanks!
Thanks!
Good review as always but the best explaination about the - sometimes criticized - Volvo infotainment system.
Love my Volvo XC60!
I have the 2020 XC Inscription and love it! Always loved Volvo.
My dream car! 😊
What's your IG?
Great job dude! Thanks for sharing the hands-free lift gate & the powered mirrors! I wondered about both of those. One question: Is the Apple Carplay/Android Auto Wired or Wireless?
Great, great, great review. Period.
Thank you!
nice review
Thanks, i'm driving xc60 now.
Nice review, thanks. How does it compare to the cheaper Mazda CX5?
have you heard of the 4-c suspension option upgrade? maybe that would make the ride smoother?
Did they remove the Lounge Package for the 2021? They had it on the 2020, but I can't find it anywhere on their website
Thx
This is the T5 FWD Momentum as evidenced by those narrow round exhaust pipes. The T6 AWD Inscription fully loaded, is arguably best in this class.
Close but no cigar, this is the T5 AWD Momentum.
In my opinion best in class is the AWD momentum with the 18 inch wheels. The ride is nicer than low profile sidewalls. Plus you get more of an SUV type utility out of it. No curb damage like on larger wheels.
@@Phantom096
Curb damage occurs when you don't know how to parallel park your car. I've yet to scrape a curb in the 4 years I've had my '17 T6 XC90 R-Design, with its 20" wheels.
@@ivanlowjones Don’t let the wife drive it! 😆
@@Phantom096
No worries, mine has auto self parking. 😉
Do you have an opinion on the HUD(heads up display)? I always wondered how that feature looks and is it something handy
So for 2020 the momentum trim doesn't get the new gear stick ?
All that high gloss trim around the infotainment would drive me nuts!
My problem is not that they are shiny (the screen is not that glossy, thankfully). But only that they get scratched almost by only looking at. Even exterior shiny black trims got scratched on my 1 week day old car, during quarantine, mostly in garage. Maybe due to some dust? Unworthy, nevertheless...
nice video thanks, can you tell me what kind of camera recorder you are using and where to get it
Is that a compass built into the rear view mirror?
I bought from them some years ago
Great review! Does it have ventilated seats? And, where is the wireless charger?
I believe the Inscription trim has ventilated seats, and the charger is in front of the cupholders (requires Advanced Package)
Hi. What’s the model? Big Cranium Momentum?
I’m George. We’re all George. Love from India
How did you get the LED headlights to flash in that way? E.g. from 1:25 in the video?
Camera couldn't capture them right
I drive the 2021 XC60, the wife drives the 2020 Lincoln Corsair and I think the Corsair is a far more luxurious SUV. My wife's Corsair is head and shoulders above the XC60 in quietness, comfort and the overall feeling of driving or riding in a premium luxury SUV. Now, I like the XC60 that I drive and am not saying the XC60 is a bad vehicle. However, in all honesty, the wife's SUV is far better.
In the car of a head on collision or bad accident of any sorts - the Volvo driver has the best chance of survival. The Ford would probably just “fall apart.” I now drive Volvo’s - have had 3 Fords previously - too soft in all categories.Never again.
Volvo is now a Chinese owned company with some models being made in China. Volvo vehicles were safe and built like tanks years ago, when Volvo was owned
and manufactured in Sweden.
@@dorado0359 I have a 2020 V60 CC. It's was built in Sweden and it's a TANK compared to my last car a 2013 Ford Fusion. The Fusion was a great economy car but this V60 is way better in every way especially safety.
What's the Momentum you are mentioning?
Anyone else notice the time went backwards when we first saw the dash?
After a lot of research I’ve had narrow it down to 2021 Volvo XC60 T5 Momentum or Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. I can get the Volvo at a good price with a military program. For the Honda it will be regular price but both of them will be at the same price range. Which one you think will be a better purchase? Why? Thank you for your help!
Volvo! Do ittttt
Volvo way more fun to drive and luxury
One is a pickup 🤷♂️
Should I get this in FWD or AWD???
In the driver’s seat, does it sit higher up than the Acura RDX or very similar? Thx!
About the same.
Hello, whats the difference with the model 2018-2019? (same generation)
Does there is any updates on the exterior or interior? Or buying a 2018 car is the same as buying a brand new?
If you are referring to the 2019 XC 60, the 2020 and 2021 doesn't have a major difference. [One thing to note is, I own a 2020 xc60 momentum T6 with premium package + the plus package "fully loaded" but it's not possible to equip it with the parking pilot which seem to me is a downgrade because the 2019 xc60 moment. If you really like the auto parking feature you need to get 2020 x60 R-design or inscription. All 2021 xc60 trim has the option to add the parking pilot in their optional equipment tab.
Good day everyone.
Beautiful and comfortable car but when you put aircondition on you dont hear any conversation between you and who sitting next to you.
how would you compare this drive experience to the cx-5 mazda for suspension, handling, braking, comfort, price?
@Alf Martin Olsen No comparison
Beautiful vehicles but absolutely outrageous to maintenance and repair.
Is that a typical Lisle parking lot with overgrown grass?
Definitely is
Most manufacturers start making previous cost options free to sell more prior to model upgrades.
like this model what has extra to pay for?
can the xc60 pull a horse box up to 3ton thank you
Is there a wireless charger?
I am thinking of getting the XC60 T6 by the end of this year. Do you have any suggestions? Please advise!
What advice are you looking for?
@@DriversOnly I am just a regular driver in the city, is 315 horsepower T6 unnecessary? should I buy AWD or FWD
The T5 with the Polestar chip upgrade is the engine sweet spot. I find the T6 power delivery uneven. The T5 with Polestar pupils hard and runs smoother.
@@mart0225 isnt the polestar like 70 grand??
@@joeycarbone9540 The Polestar chip is $1,300 before discount. It remaps the engine and transmission. The Polestar trim level has significantly more performance upgrades and is much more expensive.
I’m interested in either a XC60 T5 Momentum or a 4Runner TRD ORP. Which is better in reliability and comfort?
Reliability? Obviously the 4Runner. The thing has an ancient engine and overall design hasn’t changed in decades, literally. It will probably still be running when you are dead. Comfort wise, both are decent, but the Volvo is noticeably better with much nicer leather seats, padding, and tech. What are you looking for in a vehicle? The 4Runner is very capable off-road, is that something you want/need?
Volvo fun to drive and it top best safety. 4runner drive boring as fuck. Own 4runner 2017 and get rid of it. So enjoy my xc60.
Are the T-5, T-6 and T-8 four cylinder engines with Turbo? Thanks for helping
Yes they are all Turbocharged
@@DriversOnly Okay..thanks
That’s why it’s called T. T for turbo
Even though the video says it’s a “Momentum” , I think you tested an “Inscription”. The panel has the driftwood inlay. Please double check this
Momentum for sure
izzy nelken Inscription has different seats that have four way lumbar and thigh extension.
This is George. We’re all George
What does those letters means in the mirror?
Nice review, but for goodness sake keep your hands on the steering wheel! You would have failed your driving test within the first 60 seconds here in the UK.
Lost me at the lack of temperature dials. Have suffered for 5 years with an MDX that only has touchscreen temp. No sale!
I drive these Volvos at work and dislike driving them for the very same reason.
Think for the price, the car is dull and the entertainment system control is bad. Can get an Audi Q5 for less
Hm...Ultimate car
Has anyone noticed if there is a bug or a hidden feature, which I'm not sure i know how to emulate, but this afternoon, I think I tapped the radio/play button before starting the ignition and the entire interior went into a silent mode. No radio, not even the turn signals made sounds (the exterior lights still flashed when i tested it against a reflection). Very strange experience. If it's a hidden option, that's pretty interesting.
In restarting the car, everything was back to normal.
George wtf, I wasn’t expecting you here
Be aware! My 2019 Volvo XC60 sunroof leaked less than 3 years old caused my car flooded, and Volvo Canada denied warranty!
I am thinking purchasing the xc60 or the Toyota Highlander XSE, both 2021. My worry is of course the quality and then maintenance. Any advice?
3 years free maintenance on the Volvo
xc s are only Diesel?
are you George?
we are all Georges
lol I didn’t know that he was a car reviewer
Weird to see George without all the crypto ads on the screen.
We're all George
Having to go through a menu for climate control seems annoying.
They’ve engineered for that. It’s on the main menu. Not a sub menu
Volvo cars are beautiful and luxurious. I would buy one if not for two
factors: (1) Volvo is owned by a Chinese company (Geely Holdings); and
(2) Volvo restricts it's top speed to 113 mph. I will not spend 50K + on a car with zero speed reserve when passing on a mountainous two-lane. In 2021 I expect any 50K car to reach 150 mph.
Is it expensive to maintain?
My xc90 was
Yes after initial 3 year free oil changes it can get pricey at the DEALER, I will service my 2020 V60 CC at my local European Auto Shop. Same service cheaper $.
You did not cover accident avoidance and pedestrian avoidance automatic breaking
Op
Germany 🇩🇪 do much better all around, interior, media interface, driving experience for the same price tag, this VOLVO is not cheap!
Wait. Isn't he the guy who runs crypto channel? I think I have seen him in one of bitcoin videos.
Yes CryptosRus
I though he said bo bo . _ .
Turned into the wrong lane ding dong
At 4:35 you say you think it's a good steering wheel....ok ... but will it fly out the window while you're driving? And don't you think you should mention that there's room for mother-in-law? Or maybe you love your mother-in-law. ... Paul.
Looks like 2019
VOLVO, OBLODZENIE, NICZYM, ANI ŚNIEG, W NOWYM VOLVO WRZUĆ PIERWSZY BIEG
😳"like my smart phone!"??????...but smart phones are government devices...what's to keep government agencies from tapping into this car crashing you anytime they want to?
Second
So this is what pewds drives.
Just stop lol
It's not even that good looking. It looks like the styling from the early 2000's.
New generation Volvo is a piece of shit ... too many customers all over the world are complaining about the quality and it's true.
Lexus RX is better
Perhaps vs this "poverty spec" T5 FWD Momentum. The fully specced T6 AWD Inscription takes the Lexus RX 350's lunch money all day, every day at recess.
J High haha!
Lexus can’t top the interior of Volvo’s
No, not really Good Man
That rather subjective opinion. The Lexus is NOT better in the safety department. Volvo sets that standard .😉
When they will redesign this ugly and much expensive ? 🤢
