I don't know why but when Andrea says "gotta put it in S for subscribe", it does it for me every time. Lol!! Great job as always.
“Greenwashing” I’ve never heard this word before. I learned a new word today. Thanks ☺️
I bought the Momentum trim level with B5/AWD and technology package. I actually like the faux leather better than the perforated leather of the Inscription. One thing I especially like in my Volvo is the pilot assist. It works phenomenally well. The only issues I’ve had with my XC60 are some minor software issues with the new Android OS. The welcome chime that it should make when you first get in doesn’t work. Not a big deal but indicative of software issues. Hopefully, will be resolved with future software update. Love your channel. You guys are awesome!
My gf owned this 2022 volvo since last year with all the vip packages , it's beautiful, nice sound, nice comfort ....
Andrea and Zack you guys are just absolutely stellar!!! I don't comment often but I watch literally all of your videos and the quality has been great from when I first found your channel four years ago!!! Keep it up!!! Lifetime subscriber here.
Wow, thank you so much!
Amazing, thank you so much for the kind words, means a lot.
I get an average 4L/100km with my XC60 T8 hybrid. Use EV mode in the city with regenerative braking. On the highway, I use gas then press the recharge button to refill the EV battery. When you exit the highway, change the drive mode back to EV again. The last time I filled my gas tank, I got 1,500km on a full tank. When you learn how to use the hybrid system, you’ll get awesome mileage.
That's impressive, in wich area you do live please?
Great review as usual. I really like how every segment is straight to the point but also adding your own personal views. Can’t wait to see your video on the WRX when it comes out.
One thing I’d like to see is you guys make a quick comment on the HUD if a car has it and maybe if you tired the audio system and enjoyed it. Thank you guys!
Thanks for the suggestions and feedback!
My daughter in law has a 2021 XC90 it is a great vehicle and she loves it. She got it before pricing went thru the roof. Great review as usual.
Thank you, so glad you liked the review.Happy to hear your daughter in law is enjoying her XC90.
Always enjoy you both, great and fair review on the updated XC60. Can you please, please review the V90 Cross Country?? It's been awhile since Zach reviewed it, would really appreciate a more recent take from the two of you. I believe it still has the drive modes and previous infotainment system?
Also, have you ever thought of making a video on the European delivery options? Are they still as grand? Are they still worth it? My understanding is that Volvo still offers the most value?
Thanks from Georgia!
Still driving my 2018 XC60 T8 Inspiration Plug-in hybrid, and loving it!
Amazing video again motormouth is my favourite car channel especially because they tell you the standard features
Thank you very much, we appreciate the positive feedback.
I bought a 2022 xc60 r-design in December 2021 and I have had nothing but an endless stream of software and electronic issues. Even the mechanics shrug their shoulders at these issues as they are not trained to troubleshoot and resolve non-mechanical problems with this vehicle. Caveat emptor!
Beautiful Styling!
Awesome video Andrea and Zack! Great to see Volvo picked up on design
Thank you so much!
Hermosa SUV ..buen review gracias amigos
Best vehicle reviews out there ...
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying them, we appreciate the support.
I'll like you both to know that I personally appreciate the work that goes into these review videos. Slowly but surely this has become my favorite car review channel.
That is s absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, it really means a lot to us.
I own 2018 XC90 T6 and so far did not have any issues at all. Great luxury experience and built quality.
@@vishtux7 That's good to know, thanks for sharing!
I love this couple’s reviews. They rock. Love them. :)
@@boricua4052 Thank you so much! 🙏
The grill reminds me of the classic Aston Martin Bond car. Really beautiful.
Love the design of Volovos. They are tasteful and not overdone, which is hard to find in a lot of Japanese, German, and American cars. I think it's Subaru, certain Audi products, some Mercedes, and Volvo that still make elegant vehicles. For Subaru, the Outback is a clean and fine example of a practical wagon or SUV with their crosstrek. They are inoffensive to look at and don't feel like they are trying too hard, which I like. For Audi, their stuff is very simple and restrained, with simple grills and designs that make their cars look nice for years. With Mercedes, a lot of their cars are too flashy, but their E-class wagon and GLC are two cars I quite like from them
Funny you talked about AM radio. I am a die hard Ti-Cat fan. I listen to AM radio that carries the Ti-Cats game frequently. Good review Andrea and Zak.
When it's not available it's a bit of a shock, we weren't expecting that. lol!
Beautiful looking vehicle and nice review. I've read a lot about Volvo's current powertrains and some of the reviews say that the engines are not as refined as the competition. Do you find his to be true?
Guys, love your reviews. They are so entertaining I watch your reviews of cars I have little interest in. A comment on this review...Andrea says the T8 is too much money for too little range. For U.S. buyers, the T8 Recharge qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, so the actual cost of a $55,000 base model T8 is $47,500. I don't consider that too much money for this car, in fact it's a very good price for a car of this luxury and comfort. You dismiss the range, but plug in hybrids are best for people who both want to use less gas AND typically use their car mostly for shorter trips (daily commuting, errands) but want the "security" of a gas engine for longer trips. That's us, and because all of our daily short trips are gas-free, we have gotten over 70 mpg over 6 months of driving. Today is Feb 24 and I last filled up on Dec 9. Not bad for an SUV of this comfort and capacity. In fact, not bad for any car that's not a pure EV . Whether a plug-in hybrid makes sense for someone is all about how they will use it, and a lot of people don't regularly drive much over 30 miles per day.
Oh, one more little thing. The crystal shifter is made by Orrefors, a Swedish company, not Swarovski, an Austrian company.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing and so glad to hear you are loving all the reviews! - Andrea
We have a T8 awd in black metallic and chocolate interior. Possibly the best all around vehicle I’ve owned. Incredible seats incredible ride
Another great review just published!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it 🙏
Love it.
Recently I've started my new vehicle search. This channel has quickly become my favorite. They do such a fabulous job of auto reviews; a far departure from the run of the mill walk around you see so many do. Keep up the great work! Thank you for the content. I'm currently favoring the Genesis GV70, GV80 or Infiniti QX60. Volvo is still in somewhat consideration so I appreciate the review.
Andrea and Zack are awesome and super genuine. I’ve been watching them for over a year and it’s great to see their channel grow. The Genesis GV 70 is amazing, so much for the money but of course it’s all subjective and if you wanna go for that badge you’re going to pay more but get less sometimes👌
Wow, thank you very much for the kind words!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Wow, thank you so much! Happy you are enjoying the content!
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 Thanks a lot, so nice of you to say 🙏 the GV70 is a fantastic SUV.
The XC60 T8, 2022, has an improved battery pack with up to 70 km of range. At least here in Sweden :)
We are not quite there yet with the EV range in North America but better for 2022.
Extended Range Battery packs ( 18.8 KW ) are Just now hitting the Dealer Lots here in the Midwest US. Tested & Liked & bought already. Great Range, & More Power, Not disappointed.
Note: Something, I failed to consider ... Bigger Battery = Longer Charge Times. ( Just an FYI ) 😜
I leased a B6 XC60 R-Design on December 4th. I love it. However, I had to take it back for a software update for the infotainment system. In addition it doesn’t have Apple Car Play or Android Auto. I am waiting for an update. The infotainment is a little glitchy, but I love it.
Very good video
Great review. The AM rant was reasonable. I am very impressed. Far too often I forget about Volvo as an option for people or in comparisons. I absolutely love the interior and the exterior has a very solid Stoic front end. Although I’d prefer Volvo’s brilliantly styled station wagon (V90?), this is not too far off itself. Thanks for the video.
Did a cross country road trip in my buddy's v90 CC. It's a pretty incredible vehicle. For it to check every box for me it'd have to have a plug in hybrid function which seems to only be on the XC line.
The V70 R always did something for me.
@@kellingtonlink956 haha I see them around my area, pretty rare, always try and snap a shot for my Volvo buddy
My favorite car !
it would be interesting to put the Mazda CX50 in the mix for comparison... can't wait!!!!
which one would be the better pick gv70 2.5t r this one B6?
How is the performance in winter? I dont know your location but I’m interested in the base model with climate package
Good review. A couple of questions:
1. Now having a Head Unit using Android's Operating System, does that mean that Android Auto is "built in"? Or can an app be downloaded & installed on the Head Unit so the driver can use Waze?
2. Is there a Wireless Charging pad available?
3. Are ventilated (A/C Seats) available & in what trim?
4. Is remote start available?
I have a volvo w drive modes; it's really nice.
Crystal gear handle is base for every model??
A friend had this model with this complicated power train, it was in the shop every few weeks, while they tried to fix the software. Turbocharged, super charged with a hybrid system, what could go wrong 🤪. How reliable will it be in 5 yrs. ?
Another great review!! I am so glad I got my 2021 when I did because I’d have probably passed on this 2022 model for something else. The Genesis or Audi Q5 would be my chosen alternatives for MY22. Thanks again for another awesome and thorough review!!
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed it! - Andrea
Nice😍
I have a 2019 Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 AWD and have had zero issues with the engine. I wonder what aspect of the engine others have had issues with. It's been good to me!
Great to hear. I had some followers from Instagram say they have the XC60 and have had no issues with it.
Nice job I think I’ll look for a T6
It seems the cost went up since Geely bought them out. I'm not sure they quite compete in the premium market in terms of driving feel, interior base features.
Nice car… great watch Zac😀
Thanks! 😀
Great discussion about reliability....and another winner review !!!
Awesome thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it.
I still love Volvos I would either get the xc60 or a genesis gv70
Volvo does have some nicely built vehicles.
Will this B6 engine be more reliable than last years?
8:58 I don't know about Sweden, but in Finland they do trailers too (even with compact cars, haha)
I love all your videos, great content, excellent differentiators of the vehicles and models, and snappy editing. I loved my 1999 Volvo S70 and look forward to eventually getting back into Volvo, probably when they go more electric than they are now, but couldn’t justify the price difference with the Subaru Forester Touring for essentially the same form factor and size. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much, so glad you are enjoying our reviews!
Glad you like them!
Fabulous review as always Zack and Andrea👌💯 all Volvo’s these days are extremely elegant, quiet, refined… truth is in regards to reliability Volvos are a lease only or perhaps buy a certified preowned which comes with a long warranty. They hold their value extremely well, but the gas mileage is poor as you stated. Even in the S60 and the V-60 that I have driven for a few months it’s nowhere near a equivalent engine as let’s say a 330i. One major omission in all Volvos even a $80,000 XC 90 is a power steering wheel. It’s baffling that they don’t offer this as a luxury car maker….🤔
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it!
What exterior colour is this? Looks really nice
Có 3 nhược điểm Volvo cần cải thiện đó là độ ồn, cảm giác lái và phần mềm. T có một con XC90 đời 2020 và thấy như vậy.
Does the 2022 Volvo XC60 come in manual ?
I'm ready to flip my 2010 Ridgeline soon and was looking at the XC60. I like both the look and safety of Volvo. My only concern is that we don't have a dealership. What would you recommend?
There's more to it than looks and safety. If you have any specific questions, ask away, I'll try to answer them.
i think the drive mode is a option now “ polestar optimized sth sth “ you add that option then you got drive mode
B6 295 HP, 310 lb.-ft. torque; 13 HP ISG (Integrated Starter Generator), i didn't hear you mention the extra HP from the ISG. B5- 247 HP, 258 lb.-ft. torque; 13 HP ISG (Integrated Starter Generator). Also you cant get ventilated seats on the R-design.
Hello. How is comfort compared to Bmw x3?
Great fuel economy for that size car does it need premium fuel
I have a plug in hybrid, and if most of your driving is short distance, then you can run on the battery all the time. I live 4 miles from my office, and I run electric almost every day.
Oh my god you guys keep coming with the hits! I almost pulled the trigger on that one because of the Google integration until I did some research and saw that the "mild" hybrid has a higher consumption than my 2020 Mazda CX 5 😂😂😂 The hybrid name is so deceptive.
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed the review. You've got a great SUV, I am a big fan of the CX-5.
@@Brian-jv8iy So what other use case is there for a hybrid in the automotive industry. A hybrid plane car? Would they call it ”Mild" hybrid if they didn't want you to think ”fuel economy". Please, tell me what else hybrid could mean. I'm dying to know.
15:30, The point of the PHEV power train in this isn't so much the range, that's just a bonus, it's really the top end performance engine for the XC60. If you want a more "economical" PHEV in this kind of segment you go for the BMW where those are engineered and priced as a side or midgrade option.
Turbo and supercharger? What could go wrong?
FYI: 16:45 I am sure that was meant to say, "R-Design" not "Re-Design."
It's like the ultimate real estate agent car lol
What about Jaguar F-Pace? The interior is a killer in term of customization!
My wife owns a 2020 XC60 Inscription. I love the massaging seats, and the B&W sound system is amazing, but there is a MAJOR lack of practical storage.
Are you in the US? I wasn't aware massaging seats were offered on XC60.
@@kencoleman8929 Yes, I’m in the US.
@@mavsguy842 B&W best in market (best of the best)
Beautiful vehicle and what!? No am radio? My mother loves listening to the sports news too. It’s hybrid sound short in distance. They could do better in hybrid and EV. P.S. Where’s the garbage bin? 😆 Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Yes, we like AM radio too! No garbage bin in this one, but boy is it ever handy. Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome Andrea! 👍🏻
Not happy about the B5 & B6 nomenclature, as that will remind people, about Audi. Great video, guys.
PS: Zack, Are you losing a little weight, man? Or does the haircut make you look that way? lol Either way, you both look good..
At first when Andrea said it has a B6 engine, I thought she said V6 ans it would be a lot cooler if it did.
thanks
Thanks for watching!
Zach kept calling the new infotainment system "Android based". It is actually quite different (Google Automotive) to the point that it doesn't even support Android Auto - wired or wireless -, let alone Apple Carplay. Volvo says it will be available as an update "in the future". You can download "certain" apps, but again the dealer doesn't have a list of which apps are available and which aren't. I listen to Audible audio books during my commute. The dealer couldn't confirm if it is available but some CZcamsr claimed it is not. So I have to listen to AM radio on an app and wait for some future update to get Android Auto?!? This is a deal breaker for me.
On the positive side: the touch screen works with gloves on. I have been taking this for granted until I test drove the top of the line Genesis GV70 where I had to take my gloves off to turn on the heat. Call me picky but in Toronto winters that was another deal breaker for me.
Local dealers in Alberta are charging up to $85,000 for the XC60 recharge inscription and $96,000 for the XC60 R recharge design that’s insane money for an mid size SUV 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ keep safe guys 🙏🙏🙏
YIKES!!! That's pricey!
I'd like to see an upgraded center console (larger and easier to use) and a hybrid system like the Lexus RX 350H
Am I the only one triggered by the lack of stoppers for their coffee cups? They should be using those to avoid spills!
Great review as always. If people want great fuel economy, buy an underpowered and noisy Japanese car. If you want a nicely powered hybrid car, buy an American or European car.
FM HD offers AM stations with no downloads needed.
In Vancouver, 96.9 HD2 = AM 1130
96.9 HD3 = AM 650
I think those were the 2 stations Zack was talking about
No HD radio in this new system.
Thanks for great review, great job as always! XC60's problem is that you cannot find ANY vehicle less than 72grand on Volvo Canada! it may be interesting at 55 as you said but for 71+ I don't think it holds up
Thanks for watching and I agree with you. $71,000 + is way too much but I would pay around $55,000 CAD. It feels competitive at that price point.
@@andreaspencer9813 thanks for the quick response. How would you compare it to RDX?
@@alifarsani2469 The RDX has a great interior, a sporty drive with plenty of power, it's more engaging to drive. This Volvo feels like "traditional luxury" when it comes to the drive and even the interior. I did firm up the suspension a bit in the Volvo, but it still offers that smooth ride with a softer suspension than the RDX in my opinion. You can upgrade to the Polestar drive mode which I hear makes the XC60 quite lively and engaging. I haven't had the opportunity to drive one. There's also great value with the RDX, you can get one fully loaded for $55,505 CAD/ $48,200 USD. Pretty amazing especially if you are on a tighter budget.
@@andreaspencer9813 Thank you very much Andrea, much appreciate your response as always. I am considering RDX and X3 for my wife as her 2011 X3 is showing her age. BTW love you two! you are the best on CZcams and we are very proud you represent us in Canada :)
What Volvo has always hung their hat on is SAFETY! This has to be a major plus for families with small children!!! However if they are in the shop and you are stuck in rental car you can nothing!!! This was my situation with Mercedes , 27 trips to the shop in 19 months! Had to pay 10,000 to offset it's poor trade value! Features and benefits mean nothing if they are not usable!
I can't afford this type of car, but if I could I'd buy a Lexus. I don't understand paying so much money for cars that break. All the euro brands just don't hold up and they've been making cars forever. There is no excuse.
I did consider this vehicle, but eventually went with the Genesis GV70. I noticed there are a few similarities in exterior styling and stance. Take the front headlights of the Volvo, split them apart and that is a Genesis! Volvo has sharper lines but a similar stance. My biggest concern with the Volvo was reliability. Yes, I believe Genesis reliability is better than Volvo! I take a lot of flak for that, but I had a Kia Optima for 10 years before this and I found it more reliable than the Honda Accord I had before that! Yes, they replaced the engine but there were no arguments, no delay, had a rental car given to me and didn't cost me a dime. They stand behind their product.
Thanks for the review Andrea and Zack. Has the new powertrain with the 48V system improved efficiency? A family member has a 2021 and it's not efficient for the size of vehicle and the horsepower rating doesn't translate into performance... and the noise when you hit the throttle!
I was hoping you'll recommend the recharge version :( Also, the recharge gives you a higher federal rebate for Americans. I would say at least $9000 off depending on your state.
Yes, you get a tax credit in the US but in Canada, no Federal EV Rebate on the Recharge.
We were considering trading our Tahoe 3.0 diesel for the Volvo, but our mileage is way better than the Volvo. Granted Diesel is about a $1 or so more than gas, but it's still
cheaper to keep the Tahoe. Totally love the look and comfort of the Volvo though.
We got a xc60 2019 with massage seats and volvo keeps calling that they want to buy our car🤣🤣 There's no way we're going to trade because we looked at the market and none has massage seats in our price range. Oh well, we keep it until it breaks🤣🤣
Note, not Swarowski shifter!....Rather Swedish Orrefors crystal!
I always love Volvo's distinctive styling, even back in their glorious days of FR 200-Series, 700 and 900-Series "its boxy but its good" old days. However, Volvo was build like tank and was one of the most reliable cars in the world, other than the old school over engineered Mercedes. Fast forward to today, Volvo looks much sportier and younger but its reliability is nothing but iffy. Just like its German rivals, Volvo is better off a lease for 3 years and return it back. Buy off is too risky given its mechanical complexity and interior electronics. I am pretty sure Volvo's reliability will be even more scary if they go all electric.
I don't know. I had Volvos in earlier years (70s, 80s and 90s models) that weren't particularly reliable. I found them always to be well built and today's Volvos are more solid than the older ones. I don't really find anything better about the older Volvos vs. today's Volvos (except visibility). The 240 was simple enough but it was so long in the tooth in the 80s and 90s it made Volvo look way out of date. Today's Volvos can be reliable or mechanical nightmares, pretty much like any of the more expensive Euro cars.
Hi guys,
I agree I love the look of it yet the media center looks very confusing ,
Maybe that just me.
It took awhile to find everything, it was quite frustrating but now I know where everything is so it's simple. lol!
@@andreaspencer9813 that good to know 👍
Volvo has been increasing its prices significantly; if I were to buy the same XC40 I have had for 6 months right now its MSRP would be around $2,000USD more for the exact same configuration. Base MSRP is now $35,100 USD for a T4 which is what the T5 used to start at - it's kind of overpriced this year.
Heated seats, first optioned on 1966 Cadillac, designed by a Robert Ballard.
Please review Mazda CX60.
Is this new Google infotainment system sluggish or laggy to use?
Yes
@@Motormouth... I feel like Volvo just reinvented the wheel for worse.. laggy, buggy and have no carplay(yet)
I still have my MY2018 XC60 and still see no reason to move up. Waiting for more change, just dont want a downgrade
If you are happy with your 2018, keep it for sure 👌
The Volvo infotainment may make the Acura one look as not as bad.
The PHEV version of the cx60 is priced way too high. Does not seem to make sense.
What a Frankenstein motor...turbocharged AND supercharged. Almost as much horsepower and torque, as a 2004 Chevrolet tahoe, I used to own...😮😅
No more supercharger in B6 🤔
This should confuse the designers of the XC60! On the 2022, dust and mud creeps into the car through the rear doors and trunk slots. There were no such problems with the XC60 12 years ago. They would have to be put in a German car to learn what a driver assistant needs to know for a car. This car is not ready…
About the next Volvo generation, it will look quite different inside. Like it or not, it's going to a "floating" big screen with a minimal amount of physical switches. The Concept Recharge shows some of the differences from the current model. But the XC60 is going into 2025 in its current form, which IMO will make it look long in the tooth. And Volvo will change their cars to actual names, so XC90 and XC60 are going away and the rumored name for the next generation, EV only XC90 replacement is "Embla."
Volvos are nice. I do think it's time for new ones and they're going EV. They don't want to use engines anymore but the market hasn't adapted to EVs fast enough for Volvo to make the switch completely. But it's planned by 2030.
turbo super hybrid worries me, hahah. A simpler version would be my choice
I can always tell how much Andrea likes a car. When she drives a Porsche she gets very nicely dressed up. For the Volvo she got dressed. Nothing special 😎
Honestly I think its too small for the price. Might as well just get the V90 and call it a day much more reliable just lower to the ground, but you can always lift the V90
