Volvo brand has always been my favorite. Their Scandinavian design, simplicity and their attention to complete safety is what kept me with them for many years. With the recent changes with Volvo, it’s only more clear that their future is going to be amazing. They have completely rethought their car line, and with the new XC60 they are gonna be very recognizable on any road. This is my first SUV, and I wouldn’t have gotten it if it wasn’t for the beautiful design of XC60. This size is not too big and not so compact like other luxury makers. I got the T8 Twin Engine trim with 10 kWh battery that gives 18-20 miles range on pure electric drive. My favorite things about the car: -air suspension is incredibly comfortable and soft -remote start, pre-cooling, pre-heating all though the Volvo App is amazing, even works with my Apple Watch -comfort and quietness of the cabin -design of the interior and the screen interface and interaction -internet in the car, over the air updates of all maps, installation of free apps -Volvo’s own sound system is superb -Spotify -Apple CarPlay -Autonomous Drive is very accurate from everyday driving to work -auto braking and crash avoidance is amazing -once a year maintenance is a breeze -electric drive is so smooth and quick, it almost feels like a mini Tesla -LED lights are beautiful and bright enough in all situations I’ve experienced -size of the XC60 is just right Things that can improve: -Volvo needs to work with dealerships more and be allowed to fully update the car over-the-air -charging speed could improve with time, with software updates too -transition from engine to electric needs more ironing out -more options and controls in the user interface and the screen, few more options to make the car your own and have more customizations -Volvo needs to help plug-in hybrids to find charging stations, they kind of let that up to the driver Overall this is the best car I’ve even driven, even comparing it to cars I’ve been in, like Audi and BMW, Volvo always takes on extra points on character, design, and comfort. This is truly Scandinavian philosophy, nothing more and nothing less, just what you need, and after driving it everyday I can see it very well.

I leased a Volvo T8 with every bell and whistle, including air suspension, red key, heads up display etc. Sticker was over $75k. It's a beautiful and comfortable car but I can't wait to give it back. The front dashboard rattles miserably on the highway. It truly drives me mad and makes me feel like I'm driving a Yugo. The dealer said they put padding/insulation but it has not fixed the problem. The 13 mile electric range is too low to be useful and the raspy 4 cylinder engine provides unrefined power/acceleration. The brakes and brake feel do not inspire confidence. I've also had countless technology glitches. For example, the wipers decided to stop working right before a heavy rain storm. I rushed home, parked and charged the car, and the next morning before I could call the dealer the system reset itself and worked fine. Strangely inconvenient. These type of random technology glitches happen unexpectedly and too often to be normal. The pilot assist moves the car around too much and the car does not track straight. Tire wear has been excessive. Disappointing to say the least, especially given the leather seats are beautiful and car is beyond comfortable.

I own a 2018 Volvo XC60 T8. I bought it new because I wanted a luxury car with environmental qualities and after researching, was pleased with the positive reviews. I mostly drive around town, so the 18 MPGe were perfect. We had an electrician come and install a 240 outlet in our garage for faster charging. Two and a half years later the battery will only charge to 12 MPGe. Took it in for servicing and they said, "per the owners manual, the car is performing as it should." I looked in the owners manual. Here's what it says: The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishes somewhat with age and use, which could result in increased use of the gasoline engine and consequently, slightly higher fuel consumption. I am so very disappointed. Good luck trying to trade this car in...who wants a hybrid that is loosing it's hybrid capacity. I just want to warn those who may want to buy the newly advertised XC90's. If you only want the car for two years, go for it. But don't expect much out of this hybrid in the long run.
Not a reliable Car

I have had this car for over 18 months. In that time it has been to the dealer more than six times, several times for over two weeks. Something is still wrong with it, and dealer (Gunther in Delray, FL) will not admit it is a lemon. In my opinion Volvo had no business selling a plug-in hybrid if they can't guarantee the same level of service than for their other vehicles. Stay Away!

Surprisingly Luxurious, Dependable & Fast

I previously owned an XC90 which served its purpose but when I downgraded (size wise) to teh XC60 I got a real taste of comfort and luxury. The suspension on my 60 was even better than the 90. It also has more seamless pickup and the intimacy of the smaller cabin makes the handling feel more like a well tuned sports car than a mid size SUV. This XC60 T8 has been an excellent choice for overall comfort, convenience with a touch of class.
