2024 XC60 12v critical charge problem
Bought a beautiful 2024 Volvo XC60 fully loaded. A dream car…. Wait.. I mean nightmare car. Four days after I got it 12 v critical charge alert came in along with engine light. When I called … I was actually told to drive the car the weekend ( knowing that I was taking my family three hours away that very day 😳) Told them NO. I would be coming in immediately. Got the car back Monday afternoon. Said it needed a system update and total recharge of the battery. Well ….. two weeks later SAME thing once again !!! Actually told me they don’t know what’s wrong 🫤. This is SO disappointing. And from what I’m reading on many threads… this has been going on for a couple years … not new just to my 2024, and yet Volvo still has NO ANSWER. Very VERY unhappy new Volvo owner 😡

First Month Experience
My only extras are massage seats, climate package and 21" wheels. The fit and finish on the vehicle is great. Handles solidly with a good sense of traction on the road. It takes corners nicely. The steering is more to the luxury feel which is my preference. As for ride I live on a brick street and it handles them smoothly. Very quiet. Great get up and go with the engine! EV range has been exceeding advertised at 44mpe. Both front and rear seats are EXTREMELY comfortable. The massage seats are superior to my the BMW 530e I traded and almost as good as my previous Nautilus. The Google Info system has been seemless for my needs. The Volvo app functions nicely. The vehicle seat height is at the sweet spot between the low sedan and high large SUVs. Overall interior materials are highend with the exception of a few panels which are hard plastic, center console sides, glove compartment door, side door pockets and ceiling hand pulls. A vehicle at this price point I think this is subpar. If you can touch it, it should have a quality feel. If safety is a priority then the rear passenger windows should lower all the way down in case you need to climb out in an emergency. A few features missing in my opinion are power adjustable steering wheel, specific tire pressure display, configurable interior theme lighting, wireless phone charger and wireless CarPlay. The showroom sales experience at 2 different dealers was low pressure and respectful which could be a nod to Volvo philosophy perhaps. Overall currently enjoying the vehicle.

Great car but some features take the edge off.
Just bought the XC60 Plus. Overall we really like the car. Quiet, smooth ride, Plenty of power. However there are a few minor issues that are surpising on a $53,000 car. Really liked the optional booster seat. 1. Base stereo is disappointing. Lack of bass and no balance or fade control. Would have liked the Harmon Kardon but it wasn't on the car I liked. A simple sub woofer would make the difference. 2. Cannot load Pandora app but this may be more of a problem with Pandora. 3. Infotainment system is busy. Requires a lot of switching between screens. Requires a manual button for stereo. 4. Park button is not easy to engage. Sometimes fails on first press. 5. No additional recline on back seats. Thats about it. Overall really like the car.

So far good after a minor issue
After fixing a loose proximity sensor issue in rear bumper the car has been running fine. The Google auto is really nice. However it needed rebooting the system (holding the button for 10 sec). Other than that the hybrid XC-60 Plug in drives really nice. We did a couple of long trips on it and the ride was very comfortable and relaxing. The plug in is really powerful and quick

Simplified Luxury…with some quirks
Overall, I am very pleased with my 2024 XC60 Plus trim. I love the vehicles minimalist design language, especially the interior and its tasteful mixture of high-end materials. It has many nice features that you would expect in a luxury vehicle, but it also notably misses a few - no powered steering wheel adjustment or wireless charging seem like unusual omissions, especially the latter. Lack of wireless apple car play is also unfortunate. The infotainment system is also fairly basic in functionality and customization, and the app-based approach to everything means lots of menus and sub-menus - although use of Google Assistant helps mitigate this to a degree. The ride quality is a bit rough/firm, especially at highway speeds so I would definitely recommend test driving on more than just side roads. Overall I think most owners will be happy with this vehicle, but it’s not without its shortcomings.
