I was test driving all the vehicles in the same class size as the XC60 and I can tell you without a doubt that this is the best option out there. To top it all off, it has the best features, best power in the base engine, best dealership experience, and is well known for being the safest car manufacturer. The fit and finish of every detail in the cabin is at the top of the segment. Lexus does have a little bit more softer door panels and dashes, but as far as the wood trim and fit and finish overall the Volvo is the winner. The cargo room is a little bit down on size compared to some of its competitors but it’s great usable space. The features that come on the inscription model along with some of the packages available are an incredible value. Everything is super practical and easy to use. The safety technology is so much better than Infiniti and Lexus. The only thing that I would change is making the around view cameras the default when you put the car in reverse. It is a little cumbersome sometimes the switch from the back up camera to the 360° view which is the most convenient feature. Volvo also offers the best app experience for remote start, maintenance, vehicle location, and any other details you would want to know about your car. Plus they include it free for four years. My friends and family are super surprised at far Volvo has come along over the years. The XC60 is a true luxury stand out.

Squeaky seat and other issues

Got a new XC60 T5 Inscription AWD. within two weeks, the driver seat started making a squeaky spring type noise and at 4000 miles it sounds like I’m sitting on an old mattress. Also, the windshield washing fluid was empty, and I’ve had my tire pressure light come on four times, having to pump air into the right front tire. One of the rear fog lights also came not working. In addition, you can only change the AC system and temperature via the electronic screen, but approximately three times now the screen has frozen and I have been unable to change the temperature. In addition, the doorhandles do not always work for locking and unlocking the car, and I never had this issue in my 2016 Toyota RAV4 limited. Further, I was driving in totally normal conditions at about 50 mph one time and the emergency brakes came on. It scared the hell out of me. I expect better at this price point.

Better than Acura or Honda SUVs

First Volvo ever. Purchased a 2021 XC 60 Inscription in November 2020. It is now three (3) years later and its one of the best I have ever had. The fit, finish and ride are excellent. I have always hand Acura or Honda SUV vehicles and this one is better than Honda' best! The comfort is excellent, the interior is perfect (quite luxury) and I can talk and hear conversation in the cabin when driving not engine and road noise. Very happy; hope to have for another five years.
