I work at a Volvo dealership as a service porter, so I get to test out plenty of Volvos, new and old. We got a brand new 2022 XC60 B6 in our service loaner fleet, and man do I love it.
I love the shifter. It's so easy to use. Idk why people complain about the two clicks, as I can do my actions very quickly without issues. I've also done a 10-mile drive with it, and I got an absolutely impressive 29 MPG. On a 2021, I'd be lucky to get anywhere close to 24. I love that loaner so much that it's now my favorite loaner in the fleet, but I have a good amount of complaints...
1. To get to Trip Average screen, you have to tap the O button (not the three lines), it's confusing if you are coming from the pre-refresh Volvos.
2. The brake pedal is very weird. It has a really firm feel, but when you step on the brake, it takes a bit of input to slow down, and even then it's touchy.
3. No odometer readout. Yep, you gotta go into the Trip meter menus to see that.
4. Customizable gauges. Would love to see a red, sporty gauge theme like the older Volvos. Probably will come in an OIA update.
And interesting fact: when you go to pull into a parking spot and the sensors detect an object, the car pulls up the 360° camera automatically! The first time I drove it, and it did that, I was very happy. It was something (to me) that would easily sell the car.
I love this, I believe the wipers are also heated like my 2020 V60 Cross country. I like the direction Volvo is going. I eventually will purchase a Volvo EV. Because I LOVE MY VOLVO! 😘
Awesome review ! I am big fan of Volvo XC60 ... but, the local dealer here isn’t very helpful finding me white B6 R-design 😓
I have the 2016 xc60 and honestly fell in love with it but now this one 😍
Thanks for the great review… I just picked one up.
Nice job Alex. A lot of safety tech. makes the car appealing.
Great vid. Thanks 😊
It might be really helpful to non Volvo people if the trims were explained.
Outgoing trims are Momentum, R Design & Inscription and there is a difference in exterior styling and interior features between the three.
As of model year 2023 these trim levels are simplified to Core, Plus & Ultimate (I think).
The cameras in cars are getting awesome; when will it be standard that the cameras record on a continuous loop? Seems like an obvious feature.
Teslas are doing it for sure, I think a couple other cars are doing the same as well. Integrated dash cameras would help so much with insurance companies.
Great review! The supercharger has been replaced by an electric motor, huh? Interesting. This is worth seeing at the LA Auto Show next month.
It's an electric super charger from the 48 volt system.
Wow... That is the smallest fuel economy improvement I have ever seen...I hope they're not charging too much extra for it
It's marketed as a "smarter car."
Volvo is taking baby steps toward full EV. Do your research.
I did a 10-mile trip to the exact same location between a 2021 T6 and 2022 B6, and got a massive 5 MPG difference between the two (24 vs. 29)... I guess it depends on how you drive them?
I’m averaging 26 MPG in my 2020 XC60. On my last road trip I had it up to 33 highway - way better than the 27 hwy on the sticker. I believe it’s how you drive them.
how much more to get the B&W soundsytem?
Does the B-5 still need premium fuel as the previous model year T-5 does?
Yes according to the manual still has a turbo and supercharger so premium fuel only
Alex and Case are so much better at these than Nathan and Andre. I like those two for the fun series that they do, but for purely new car reviews the young guys are more concise, detailed and prepared than the older gents.
AMEN!
I drive a 2014 XC60 and get at least the mileage their showing on these new ‘hybrids’, in fact got around 28.5mpg on my last 1250 mile road trip. I’ll hold onto it until the industry comes out with full electrics that get at least in the mid 350 to 400 mile range with under .5 hour charge time for nearly full charge and prices come down. The Toyota BZ series coming out may be closest to that next year.
The oil industry is shooting itself with these prices.
I’ve always liked the Volvo design and they have some of the best seats in the industry. However they keep making these powertrains more and more complex and nothing to show for it. You can get a full-size pick up truck that has better fuel economy than this.
Volvo is taking baby steps toward eventual full EV. This powertrain is another step. Hurray VOLVO!
@@johngaudet6316 as ImYoutubing247 said, there are other, even larger, pickups that are more fuel efficient than this cheap Chinese poseurs SUV. If Volvo really care about the environment then they shouldn't move into electrification.
There is increasing evidence to show that EVs aren't cheaper to run or more fuel efficient. And over $60k for a 4-pot made engine? You'd have to be mad or not know anything about cars to buy this. Have you any idea the kinds of pulling power $60k will buy you??
ummmmm....1 MPG IMPROVEMENT? come on Volvo. Volvo adds so much complexity to their power trains (turbos, supercharger, hybrids, all on same platform!) without the performance or economy to justify it.
thats because you are supposed to buy the t6 recharge for real economy improvements, not sure if you guys get this version
in the US
@@joris188 we have the T8 recharge here in the US
@@joris188 NO more T5,T6 in the US. Mild hybrid from now on. Eventual full EV. You go Volvo! 🥳😘
@@kashmetytv5376 B5, B6 replaces T5 and T6. Mild hybrid to eventually full EV.
Where is the AM radio?
24 mpg combined? Really? My 2002 V70XC gets 23 mpg with all terrain tires and 300lbs of fat guy in it.
This new powertrain isn't supposed to get much better mpgs. It's Volvos next step toward full EV. CAN'T WAIT FOR A FULL EV VOLVO V90 CROSS COUNTRY.
Every car has neutral in between drive and reverse. It's been like that for decades. Not sure why that is strange to you.
New XC60 front ends looks great, but the tailamp doesn't match at all, need to be redesigned, innovated to catch up those competitors in the same segment.
Love it
You shouldn't be allowed to call anything that does less than 30MPG hybrid. The 'Mild Hybrid' moniker is quite misleading. Mazda's Skyactiv gets better fuel economy 🤣 Great vid BTW. Nothing against you.
OK guys can somebody sau how manny cost thhesse car?
P-RND makes perfect sense cause you could accidentally shift it from drive to reverse or vice versa (though software could be used to prevent that)
Maybe then, you don't need a shifter but, direct buttons for Drive and Reverse and Park and when vehicle is in motion in the mode of one of the buttons, the others should be disabled to prevent accidental gearbox damage.
Besides, neutral helps when the car is malfunctioning and you quickly put it in neutral while rolling, switch it off and on again to clear the error without the need for a complete stop to do those manipulations. Otherwise, you'd have to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, put it in park, then stop and start again! Complete regression IMHO
Be aware! My 2019 Volvo XC60 sunroof leaked less than 3 years old caused my car flooded, and Volvo Canada denied warranty!
You should be in Thailand they give a 150,000km / 5years warranty ( including parts labour and roadside assistance ), when i had a issue they sent a flatbed to pick up the truck offered to put us ups in a hotel overnight fly us home and replaced the gearbox ( no charge) within 7 days.
@@MikeThailand Wow, what a good service in Thailand! Volvo Canada just wants to deny me warranty, and the dealer (Newmarket Volvo) wants to charge me 25+ hours of labor, not including parts to fix it!
How if the shifting odd when every car has P,R,N,D?
My 99 Mercedes-Benz E320 fuel economy is the same..
All that extra copper wire strip mined from the earth just to save 1 mpg. Makes sense.
Lmao the MPG improvement is a joke. Certainly the environmental cost of adding the parts doesn't make sense
over the length of the cars life, yes, it's worth the cost.
The MILDEST of hybrid systems
Should I get the B5/B6 XC60 or the 2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport? Are the Volvos really made in China now?
No, they are still made in Belgium or Sweden. Volvo just gets some financial assistance from Geely, from what I can piece together.
Good luck finding the Lexus. They’re gonna be impossible to get for a while
7:08 A like for a great musicla choice.
My e-bikes have 48v batteries. I would have expected more for a car.
My lawnmower is 60v
So .. it’s a Google centric system. No Apple CarPlay??
Alternating on off from completely electric to gas button
When you asked for directions to the Santa Monica pier, my phone gave them to me!
It would be really nice if they made a car for people who actually still drive and don't dick around on their phone all the damn time.
That species of people went extinct circa 2008
@@GHinWI Unfortunately you are correct.
Ouch for little more than half the price of this Volvo the Rav4 hybrid (non-prime) my wife has averages 45+ and we have taken trips of over 50mpg as well.
It’s a rav 4…… rav 4 isn’t luxurious and doesn’t ride as well as an Xc60…. Rav 4 is for the mass market… rav 4 top trim audio system sucks!
…and the rav4 (or an escape hybrid for that matter) will still be on the road years after the Volvo had some expensive mechanical that sent it to the junkyard.
I am debating between the Rav4 hybrid XSE and this XC60 to replace my 2019 XC90. I am disappointed by the gas mileage of this XC60. 24 combined? That's only 3 mog more than the XC90.
Gas mileage is disappointing.
What if you have an iPhone? Are you SOL?
All that infotainment talk and this core question was just left open…
I think they are going to add Apple CarPlay to the system later this year from what I hear
It doesn’t have apple CarPlay?
How much mileage ????
I get 580 range 22 b5 momentum awd 19 inch wheels
I would rather get this over the new nx tbh
Its your choice . But in truth nx is better and more luxury plus a true luxury brand not joke like volvo
@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 this is way more luxurious than the nx
@@johnfrieda9802 nope i respectfully disagree
Good luck with reliability. Turbo + supercharger + mild hybrid. And with a lot more electronics. Yep. I'd rather have 2.5 ltr naturally aspirated engine and planetary gear set that can last over 250k miles, with 40-45 mpg.
@@pepehands3399 We have have 3 Volvo that all have the Turbo + Supercharger 4 cylinder and none of them have shown to be unreliable. They all had regular oil changes and routine maintenance and have held up great. Our 2016 S60 is about to hit 70,000 miles and I've never once had to pay for anything besides routine maintenance. They're not any less reliable than our Volvo's we've had in the past. The only issues we've ever experienced have been software glitches that are fixed easily with a free software update..
Does he not know his hat is on Backwards?? I mean nobody said anything, they all couldn't be that stupid..
Volvo needs to give you a jar of vita pickled herring, Lol
Love it! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
In this year the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party #CCP, thrilled to know Volvo is now owned by Geely Global of CHINA #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳
Just like most of the "stuff" in everyone's house. Made in China.
This is charged by the volvo company
I'm sure by 2025 it will be 1.0L quad-turbo/hybrid/CVT only. Volvo gave up when they killed off the iconic I-5.
Volvos are SO unreliable today.
Boo, it's a mild hybrid. 👎
It's downright embarrassing to have a "mild hybrid" getting only 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway with that not-tremendous horsepower/torque. My 2001 XC70 wagon gets 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with its 5-cylinder engine, same as my huge 2015 Panamera with V6 engine... Volvo: look at Toyota SUVs to see how "mild hybrids" are supposed to function (Highlander hybrid gets 35-36 mpg city and highway; Venza hybrid gets 40 mpg city, 37 mpg highway). Embarrassing, Volvo! And you're charging HOW MUCH for this piece of crap?! Stop making cars that don't have plugs and just focus on cars with plugs, please!
Alex has lots of talent and does great presentations.. but. Backwards ballcap. Are you a sophomore in college or a professional building a career?
Impressive car for sure, but couldn't bring myself to buy one and support Volvo's Chinese parent company.
But buying an smartphone that is build in china doesn’t bother you? 🤣
Yes thats exactly what was implied in my comment. Good job.
@@krashnpa Sorry for the misinterpretation, now I would love to hear what you don’t like about Geely :)
the feeling is mutual
This car is produced in Belgium and Sweden.
Sorry lexus is better by a mile i dont care what others say
Lexus is nice but for taller drivers over 6ft4 drivers would choose the Volvo more room. The NX is very tight and better for shorter drivers.
It’s terrible… Chenies Gagyi... Retro car, go beck to XX. cent.
