  • This is the latest Volvo XC60 B4 AWD with a Google infotainment system. The B4 in XC60 stands for an MHEV - a mild hybrid. Under the bonnet of the XC60 B4, we have a 2L, 4 cylinder diesel engine combined with an electric motor. The total power produced is 211 hp and 420 Nm of torque. This is an all-wheel drive model. With the increasing popularity of electric cars, is this mild hybrid diesel a bit of a dinosaur?

      I think Mercedes always had diesel hybrids in their line up, I mean if MPG is the end goal then diesel hybrid is hard to beat. But I guess you need to take into consideration the diesel emissions , which get a bad rap

      Witam Anna,
      XC60 always been a great vehicle.
      As of 2022, Volvo Australia no longer offer any diesel here.
      Volvo quickly going hydrid & EV.
      I doubt they will offer diesel anywhere for much longer.
      For long range country driving, the economy of diesel is definitely the best way to go.

    Once again another great superbly presented and edited review Ana. I do like the XC60 but I'm not a fan of more and more controls moving to the touch screen telly. It's not a cheap car to buy though but running costs look OK from a fuel perspective. If I could justify it I'd take one for a test. Having said all that I'd definitely go for the red without a doubt, it would match the cherry on the cake. Thanks for sharing Anna.

    Anna described the acceleration as “salubrious”. English is my native language and I had to look this word up! BTW - The XC60 is great off-road. It has 23 cm ground clearance, which is great for a 4 wheel drive SUV.

    • @AnnaOnRoads

    Another sterling review Anna. Just had my 500X serviced and my dealer had a Stelvio Quadrofoglio (red) in the showroom. Only seen a few on the road with that package and this was the first one I got to study up close. Not that different visually; six faux hood scoops/vents and quad exhaust tips and of course the emblems. 🍀 $90,000 sticker💰 but man, what a fast, potent machine with sexy and beautiful Italian style and panache.

      Well said Anna--I'll worry about "man-made climate change" and "rising sea levels" when the hypocrites building mansions the size of a small city 🏰three feet from the ocean's edge worry about it. Every hysterical doomsday prediction of the last 60 plus years has failed to transpire....but they're telling the truth THIS time, right???? 😒

    Excellent review Anna. You just know that you going to be safe in a Volvo. Great looking SUV but I think you might be right that it would look better in that red that you shown. I love that interior with the black and beige as well as the beige wood trimmings and how simple and so practical the interior is. I think that's quite good that Volvo is working with Google and putting Google chips in the car for the entertainment system. I saw waiting for my car to get service the other day and I went and had a look at a Volvo showroom and what the sales guy was saying about Volvo and the cars and brand as well as the first car brand to use Google chips in there cars. I was very impress by them especially how safety conscious for the people inside and out side of the vehicle. Great SUV. Brilliant video great B roles and top class presenting as always. Well, All the best Anna. :-)

    Thanks for another informative review Anna. The Volvo is a competent SUV that won't break the bank. I love the beige interior which is quite sophisticated in my view. For some bizzare reason virtually all new vehicles that come into NZ either have a black or grey interior. I can only assume that we are simply getting the unwanted residual from car manufacturers or the NZ importers have not yet arrived into the 21st century and realized that multiple color options are available.

      @stretch5627 Před rokem

      If you do lots of miles you can't beat the B5 diesel euro6 engine, cleaner than the petrol engines and given how batteries are manufactured and charged arguably cleaner to the environment come 100k miles. Batteries have a limited life and the energy needed to manufacture these far outway the benefits.

    Volvo is a real alternative now to the big 4 - Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Audi. So why Volvo above the Germans? Well their Diesel engines are very reliable and their cars keep going for years. We had a 32 year old Volvo station wagon in my older sisters family, which they sold to a student for $450. You can still get some of your money back after 32 years😜

    Well here in the UK the idiots of Westminster have declared no new petrol or diesel cars can be purchased after 2030. This will have serious repercussions if allowed to continue. Second hand car prices are very high now and will stay that way. So to answer the question, yes, it's a dinosaur and is about to become extinct.
    And what do you call a dinosaur with one eye? I think he saurus! Sorry!
