New Volvo XC60: Still the BEST SUV you can buy!

This is the Volvo XC60, and Mat s about to find out if it s as good in 2023 as it was when it was first released in 2017! Well for starters, let s take a look at the design. If we re being honest, it hasn t changed all that much from the original 2017 edition But that s not necessarily a bad thing! It s got a good-looking, well proportioned side profile, and certain areas come with smart looking chrome trim, such as around the grille at the front. There is the option to swap this for black trim, but we d definitely choose to keep the chrome! Take a step inside and it s a similar story with the design of the outside - it s all pretty similar to how it was back in 2017. The portrait style infotainment system remains, although we re not the biggest fan of it, given all controls are managed via the touchscreen. Thankfully though it s surrounded by soft touch materials throughout the cabin, apart from the odd bit of scratchy plastic dotted around. The latest version of the XC60 also comes with a full digital dial drivers display! There are a number of engines to choose from. There s a 2-litre diesel with 197hp, or a 2-litre turbo petrol with 250hp. There are also two plug-in hybrid editions that make use of the 2-litre turbo petrol, with the range-topper delivering 455hp. Each comes with a 14kWh battery pack and the ability to drive on electric power alone for up to 43 miles. When it comes to the price, an entry-level XC60 starts from just under 48, 000, rising all the way up to around 68, 000! So given the design has hardly changed in the last few years, is it really worth it? Or should you go for something like a Mercedes GLC or Audi Q5 instead?

ex xc-60 owner here, also my dad owns 2023 xc-90 now. overall great car, but back seats are quite bad in both of them, they feel quite short and harsh, not comfortable for long trips at all. Feels like a bench in the local park. i own 2020 Touareg now, in terms of back seats its miles better, ride is softer and overall seats are larger and softer.

I had the 2018 xc60 and now own a current 2021 model, and the bonnet is a thing! When k first opened the new one thought they left the struts in service mode but turns out they haven't! I can close it as I'll over 6 foot but my wife at just over 5 foot can only stand and dream

My parents have that car (MY2022, and the long term average fuel consumption is 73, 5 mpg or 3, 2 l/100km.
At wintertime, you can expect about 30 miles or 40-50km of electric range, and at summertime you can pretty easily reach 50 miles or 80km of pure electric range.

Matt, as for the climate, just press the voice button, ask for, switch on air con, raise fan speed set temp in fact everything, so you don t need to use the central screen. I ve a b4 which is the mucky oil burner with hybrid assistance and regularly see 50 mpg.

Last year I convinced my dad to buy the this car. I felt so proud and really love the car. I remember showing him your original vid of the 2017 model. He got the 2021 momentum model, it is really great. Thanks for the great content and humour!

I don't know why people call that Posch or Luxurious when it's hard plastic everywhere, it's more on Ford/VW level in my opinion.
We have seen this design for 8 years now, it's boring and looks like 2015 car, sorry Volvo fanboys

reply

I still have my 2012 R design which is 0: 55 they are amazing vehicles, fast and sleek not a heat seeker like M's or AMG's. They have classy designs like Audi's in my opinion and it's very quick. The Swedish are doing it right.

When I was car shopping, the Volvo was high on my list. But I found the infotainment system a little clunky. Then the air vents just broke it for me. Those air vents just looked and felt cheap in the dealer car in my opinion.
reply

Nope, it's the Xpeng G9. Cheaper or equivalent in price. Filled to the brim with luxury. Can compete with top 100K+ BMW, Mercedes or Audi electric and non-electric SUVs. And you can get one in a few European countries now.

I gotta say, the pace of this review is very good. Going through the details of things as though it would be someone who's using the vehicle versus rushing through all the features. Really appreciate the timing of this one.

I like the review and the car! I actually own a V60 myself - just one minor complaint - at 8: 16 you can actually see the two buttons you can use to fold down the rear seats. So you dont need to lean inside the car at all
reply

Is there by any chance you could do a mid-size luxury SUV comparison with this, an Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, BMW X3, Porsche Macan and a Tesla Model Y just to create an overall context? Thank you.

Everytime i think of buying a foldable phone, i get reminded of how Matt's phone has become ugly with that very visible crease! Anyway, let's get on with the car review.

I just bought a T8 hybrid last week. Its a 69plate. It is F King rapid. The Mrs fancied me a wee bit more that day. Genuinely an amazing bit of kit and it drives like a dream.
