As always, the video quality is superb.
Perfect Review. Thank you so much, Thomas. You are awesome.
Thanks Ali, but make sure to thank the rest of the team :)
Just got my 2021 XC60 B5 petrol R Design pro and I must say what a car!!! Volvo have levelled up 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Taking delivery of the same model without the Pro What’s the MPG if driven sensibly on a warmish day? I know it has power but I am just wondering if 30mpg is achievable
I'll go for 18" not only because it's more comfortable but also if you frequently travel through potholes or uneven parts of roads you'll improve longevity for your rims.
Yep
500 k subscribers. Way to go guys! 👍👏
In the states, there is always construction on the motorways where they sometime switch you into a reversed lane. It was great to see you test the driver assist in a common scenario and hard to believe that Volvo didn’t think of that.
Great review once again Thomas !!
👌
@@autogefuehl what do you think about Lexus RX450H F Sport. Has been updated for 2020.
First! Love your reviews and new car reveal videos :)
🙏
Thank you for thé top test report !!!
Thomas - busy busy busy - kudos! Great Review as always, many thanks. I can't find the nice City Weave on UK XC60 configurator, only leather - a shame. Colour blind Lane Keeping discussion! Again, didn't see the 718 Boxster. Keep up the good work, team.
Thanks! Gnarf UK market policy again 🧐
Get the V60 Cross Country with city weave. It’s a nicer driving car yet still elevates you a bit, with the raised suspension. True the interior volume height is less, but you won’t miss it. The V60 also returns better fuel economy.
Like always awesome video ☝️
✌️
You should ad graphics (transperant may be) when explaining numbers such as engine options etc
my number one of car brand and car journalist 🥰
🙏🙏
@@autogefuehl would you recommend the Volvo XC60 plug in hybrid or the Audi Q5 plug in hybrid?
I always enjoy your reviews! One of the best in the business. In an earlier V60 review, you said the steering was not very precise, aha I thought, maybe he's a bit, not purposly, but unconsciously biased towards the german cars. But after renting the V60 for a week I realised that it was me ( because I'm Swedish) that was biased😆. The steering is really artificial. A dealbraker for me, of an otherwise very good car.
Cheers! Yeah indeed, nice vehicle but they have 0 steering feel sadly. Wouldnt be a hard thing to do i guess...
you're are almost in stealth mode :-), nice car and colour + T shirt (Polo)
=)
@@autogefuehl Volvo or Lexus, what do you recommend?
loving the Morning Brirds
one day, I will have to come and visit Felderbachstrasse!! Nice video, as usual! I still have my X1 18i, 7250 kms in almost 2 years, nice car but the consumption is quite high, 10l / 100 in city, 5.6 on roads!
😂👍
Nice review but a bit of confusion there. XC40 is on Merc GLA segment, not GLC. And the XC60 is on GLC segment, not GLE as mentioned.
Those big R-design wheels seem horrible for comfort by the way :)
Nice detailed review Thomas! Thank you!
We have many Volvo’s in the family, so little new here for 2020. My mother-in-law has the ‘19 XC60 Inscription; it’s a very good and attractive vehicle, but I’m personally not a fan of upright SUV seating. Our former ‘16 XC60 used to give me foot cramps. I much prefer our V90’s driving experience, though they are understandably less airy, with the very sloped windshield and roof, yet are still roomy. My wife’s V90 Cross Country is a great all around go anywhere do anything car, compared to my sportier but less practical V90 R-Design. I would also recommend to your viewers the V60 Cross Country with this mild hybrid T5 or regular T5 over this XC60. I think you’ll find it as the perfect all-around premium family wagon!
Oh, and you said the XC40 is in very close competition with this XC60? For sure in passenger accommodations, but let me stress one very important differentiator here: the XC40 is not as safe. It does not perform as well as the XC60 (nor any other Volvo) in the strict US IIHS “Small Frontal Overlap” crash test. The XC40 does not react to the barrier by deflecting G-forces away from the vehicle like all other Volvo’s, it absorbs a very hard impact at the firewall, with the brunt of a full head-on collision, not unlike Audi and Mercedes (and most other brands). We drive Volvo’s for optimum protection of our family.
cheers pete! interesting aspect!
The XC40 is also lower quality.
We have a 2020 B5 petrol mild hybrid XC90 bursting blue 😀🇬🇧 and we love it ,
I have the air suspension on my XC60 2019 and the ride is superb. Even comfier than my brothers Mercedes E class 2018.
Cool, what wheel size?
Autogefühl 21 inch R-design. But i dont live in Germany so it may also depend on the roads where i drive. But my 19 inch winter tires gives much more comfort i noticed so i agree with you Thomas that people should chose 19 inch if they want the best comfy ride 👍🏼
👍 good job
Pls show how front back lights indicators works of the every cars.
Agree!
Nice review but it would be nice if you pointed the camera to the screen so we can see the fuel consumption on a short and the overall fuel TM at the bottom right corner of the speedometer
Would it be fair to say that to summarize your review the XC60 is a nice car, not a great car? Great review, as always.
Great review! Can the stop-start system be switched off on these cars? Thanks.
Thanks! Yes but every single time again when u switched on/off engine
@@autogefuehl why do car manufacturers insist on that ?
The Pilot -Assist does not work in construction sites. It works only when you have clear white lanes. That is my experience. A MB GLC can handle this also in the construction site - as soon as the lanes )yellow or white) have been good enough it works.
Regarding the Air-Suspension I noticed, that in many situations the XC60 is a bit more sensitve then the MB GLC. BUt in most cases the Airmatic from the GLC acts better
Thanks and regards, Frank
Regarding the topic of 180km/h limit in Volvos... I absolutely agree with your view. I own a new gen Volvo and I never drove it faster than 140 km/h, even in Germany. If you think about stoping safe, it is difficult to enjoy high speeds on public roads. It's all about enjoying the trip for me.
👌
I think having this much HP but not being able to go faster is kind of strange. My 2020 A Class is limited to 219 and I'm already feeling disappointed. I won't do those speeds when their's that much traffic but sometimes I like to go fast and I'm glad I'm able to do it.
@@MarcAntoineBvl Exactly, as I mentioned above, it is personal. One side note, though - gearing is crucial for speed and acceleration. Power is naturally important, but you can have 1000 hp and still not be able to go over 200 km/h if the gearing is short. Nowadays, gearing is also dictated by emission standards, so it's almost impossible to make everyone happy :)
I only want the Polestar versions to have the option. They gave them track suspension, and being floggable is kind of the whole point of the Polestar variants. I actually don't think the 180 km/h limiter has anything at all to do with safety, I think it's actually an attempt to herd performance junkies interested in Volvo over to Polestar proper. But I don't want a Polestar, not until they are built somewhere else and have a proper sedan instead of a cross-over posing as one.
I don't get the hate against the 2-click gear selector; you can knock against it once by accident, and it will have no real consequences. And knock twice against it in a row by accident isn't an accident. So that's another way of protecting the gearbox and the car.
Well I never had an accident gladly, but i am driving in and out of the basement garage every day with switching D and R multiple times
@@autogefuehl oh well, if it were a manual you'd be working a lot more.
Indeed
And the BMW you have to Press the lateral buton! It’s the same thing! Only the germans car’s are the best?!?
Vielen Dank für das Review, Thomas. Eine Frage, sind die Sitze beim xc40 genau so breit wie bei xc60? Ich muss 2 Sitzerhöhungen und ein Kindersitz in der Mitte schaffen können.
Vielen Dank,
Andrei
Danke auch! Oh gute Frage. Das würd ich beim Händler lieber mal probieren
@@autogefuehl danke für die schnelle Antwort! Ich habe auch die Review über DS 7 gesehen und ich glaube, da habt ihr gesagt, dass der Peugeot 5008 nicht so gut war. Habt ihr ein Video über 5008 auch?
P. S. Ich empfehle das Format mit dem Vergleich zwischen mehreren Autos, sehr informativ für mich und andere, die zwischen zwei oder drei Autos wählen müssen.
Thomas, good you pointed out the nonsensical seat design of having the fabric on the sides and leather in the center!
We purchased a T6 R-design today and chose the perforated leather seats instead.
Those combo-material seats downgrade at otherwise excellent luxury vehicle.
He is totaly against leather. Due to animal mistreatment mainly
2:21 Here, Thomas activates his "Thomas Blue" camouflage mode. Hint: look for the white pants to find him
😎
I also tested one XC60 T6 with 22 inch wheels and air suspension and the feeling was that there was no suspension at all!! And the consumption was out of this world, driving around 100km/h I was not able to do lower than 14,4l/100km! Very disappointed. Cancel the purchasing and opt for the B5 Momentum pro with 19 inch wheels. expect a much better ride and consumption
I am amazef that a company like Volvo bought the BD of extra large wheels. They servr no real purpose other then making money for the rims and tyres companies.
Thomas what about Wool Blend slate Grey seats, what do you think about it?
Havent seen them, but good point, gonna check them out. Definitely better than leather. Not a final solution though since there is a big difference in getting wool individually like a human haircut or in a dog salon and once again factory farming exploitation business where sheep are being tormented. I asked kvadrat who produces the wool seats for JLR (maybe also for volvo?) once about their wool origin. Guess what they answered?
I had one of these as a loaner from the dealer the last two days. The steering horrible - when coasting, there is a glitch in the steering that causes it to abruptly have resistance.
Beautiful interior and exterior design. Beautiful colour. But I think the engineers just haven't put the whole package together yet. Steering is kind of meh, the computer interface is a little odd.... But then again, a 2 yr old S90 is really cheap compared to other vehicles in it's class. I'd say buy one off lease and save a bundle.
Thomas should I buy the volvo xc60 on 2022? I heard that it has a new android infotainment system and a facelift with new trims and versions pls help thank you!!
Yes indeed. Android automotive. We ll try to get one for a test
I think Thomas needs some vacations 😊
👍
You talk of 7l/100km fuel consumption.Is the test car AWD ? Thanks for the excellent review !
American tests shows 21mpg city / 25 mpg highway which 11-13l/100 km :(
25 mpg is 9.4 l/100km
Awesome
👍
@@autogefuehl I bought the 2021 XC60 Polestar -- fabulous vehicle
New training shoes Thomas ??
Volvo has finally got the consumption under control with the mild hybrids. My next volvo must have the "B" engine.
Plenty of countries where the general or very frequent speed limit is like 100kmh...horrible...so 180 kmh is already huge...
Love your videos! But this one felt a tad rushed.
Cheers! Was it? Not that short though ;)
I still very much enjoyed it, but I couldn’t keep up with the screen walk through and Thomas was cut off in some of the editing 😄
Super car🥰🥰❤❤
Ahh ..the classic head rest fold 😂😂.
😇
Drive it up an icy hill in Austria, to prove how well the 4WD works!
Up on the glacier, during the summer...Cool
Love it!
As a Mainland Chinese, stoked to know Volvo is now owned by Geely of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024
17:17 Three xc60s in a row!😆
Should I get the B5/B6 XC60 or the 2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport? Are the Volvos really made in China now?
Lexus NX review is now here: czcams.com/video/KaZ5LMkYA44/video.html
The 180 km/h limit may not be an issue for current Volvo customers, but it might be an issue for potential future Volvo customers. If all else is equal between one of the German Three and Volvo (and it's not; I find the German cars are overall superior even in the mundane tasks), I'm still getting a 210 or 250 km/h cap out of the Germans. That's more features. I wouldn't actually care that much if they at least gave the Polestar Engineered versions the option to unlock the limiter for a fee, because those are the enthusiast cars and are so weirdly niche that they probably would see some track duty, but they won't even allow that.
Frankly, I'm waiting for Heico to do something about it, as they've hinted at, before I even consider one.
Likely this car’s suspension isn’t designed for high speed driving.
Don’t criticize the ride when you choose the R design sport model. If you want a softer ride choose the other models
We have an XC90 R design. The ride isn't bad at all. Comfior than my 1st gen V60 at least.
이쁘네요!
Swedes Volvo I think it own by a Chinese man now I’m not really sure but it looks better, my first car was a Volvo 440 back in 1998 I drove it for long time and passed it to my uncle and he drove it and passed it to another person it never had any issues,they are pretty reliable car the petrol once
Typical Volvo! Very understated. Liked Volvo design approach, Yes it may lack finesse of German mark, Italian flair, Americans Glamour, And Japanese quality, Yes my kind of car. It's there that it.
Wait, hold up: American's glamor? What car do we make that's glamorous? We have a handful of raucous driver's cars that focus on the engine and driving dynamics at the expense of everything else and are basically "poor man's ", a few luxury also-rans, and then a heap of complete garbage.
What annoys me is they should have put in the centre dash clocks a pop up display so when you change to eco,dynamic,comfort it pops up so you don’t have to look at entertainment system as you have to take eyes off the road , and cross traffic assist is a pain when reversing off driveways with slopes and walls as it slams on the brakes so we turn it off , long distance cruising in eco mode when lifting off the accelerator and it then goes in coasting mode really saves fuel seems to coast a long way .
I for one have no issue with this type of fake exhaust tips. Those have always existed. Only before they were attached directly to the exhaust pipes, now they are just part of the bumper, same result. I does look silly when you make exhaust tips bigger than those of a V12 Ferrari and put them on a lame SUV. But whatever, that's just a stupid design choice.
It also makes spare parts much cheaper if you have a bumper accident and only have to replace the bumper and not the exhaust.
Ich finde das schlecht, dass bei 180 km/h begrenzt ist! Im Endeffekt die einzigen Länder die betroffen sind, sind Großbritannien und Dänemark!
Und, wenn ich die Chance habe schneller zu fahren, warum nicht?
Toyota und Volvo sind die einzigen negativ gemeint „Pioniere“!
Ansonsten ein super Video 😃
Hm wieso GB und DK? Da darf man doch eh nicht schnell fahren?
Big question: What are the benefits of the Mild Hybrid? Was there an increase in fuel economy? What does Volvo claim?
Thats what this review is about!
How tall is tomas?
He is 1,80m the answer to your question
180 m
1,86
Stated in every interior part ✌️
🤣
Do for range rover p400
How tall is this reviewer?
1 meters 86
My height is same, it will be good reference. Headroom is so shame
3: fuel consumption is really bad. Volvo claims 15%, but actually 0-5%. Shame on volvo.
No wonder - engine sucks!
I can't comprehend how anyone could even sit on dead animal skin - that's grossss! I'd rather sit on human skin. Alcantara is so neat and easy to clean. That bright interior you've suggested looks great but not sure how practical it is.
Well, I think you do sit on human skin, don't you?
@@razvanlex haha, yes, a few times a week but it's alive. I haven't sat on human leather yet :)
A nice car but not one that you would WANT...it does a good job...like a good washing machine. 😐
Whoever designed those seats must quit his/her job. What on earth is going on with the seats?
Is it china
Nope
German review swedish product? Hmmmm....
Volvo infantilises their (German) customers by limiting the speed of their cars to 180 km/h. This seems to be a theme of the current times.
I dont feel like a man when driving faster than 180 kmh. I feel like a man when I respect and protect others that are weaker or have no voice
@@autogefuehl In my opinion this is a really strange argument. This sounds like you imply a lot of unfair character traits on people. In a lot of your, by the way superb reviews, you drive way faster than 180 km/h, which makes a very hypocritical impression. I normally drive about 130 km/h on the Autobahn. But there are situations where you can very well drive faster without endangering others. Plus it is likely that this decision is taken by Volvo mostly because of cost saving reasons. Every part of the vehicle and especially the suspension doesn't have to be as sophisticated.
Thanks! I do test cars at higher speeds, just saying i dont feel offended when I cant do that anymore
@@autogefuehl Fair enough.
@@janmorsdorf5860 it's all about volvos vision to have 0 people dead in there cars by 2020.
ENUNCIATION IS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WHEN SPEAKING A NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.
