Great car for travel and around town driving.
My xc60 is comfortable and reliable. After 3 years, I have never had any service problems or need for repair. It is very comfortable for long trips with lots of cargo room in the back. The seats are very easy to flip down to create even more room for cargo.

Car for everyday life styles.
I love the build of my car, you get a lot of miles per gallon and there is plenty of space for people and objects. It is super easy to clean as well.

I love my Volvo. It is almost perfect!
I love my SUV. It handles so great and is such an enjoyable car to drive on short or long trips. It is comfortable, great on gas, and reliable. I wish it was more spacious, and that the radio/temperature control center was a little more current. I also am not a fan of the navigation system. Otherwise, I love it!

Comfort and safety is foremost.
My Volvo is incredibly comfortable. The seats that are designed by orthopedic doctors are comfortable for long drives. The car is very quick and responsive. It has great pickup which is great for highways. The safety features like heads up display and rear view cameras are fantastic.

Safe, high-quality, worth-it car.
The power of the Volvo xc60 is amazing. It can accelerate really fast, which is sometimes necessary when driving in traffic. It also has amazing safety features. The car beeps when you start to drift out of your lane, which is great when I am tired driving home. It also has amazing warnings for when you could hit the car in front of you while driving or when you are close to an object while parking. One thing that is helpful for when you have children is that it has weight sensors in the back that tell you when your child is not buckled up; most cars do not have sensors in the back. I also love that you can so easily play Audio from your phone using Bluetooth, aux, usb, etc. , and the sound quality is amazing. And when you go back into your car with your phone, it automatically connects so that you can play music without manually reconnecting or talk on the phone with someone through the car speaker. The car feels so safe because of its size but at the same time at all not too big to easily drive. I am obsessed with this car!

I love Volvos. And the xc60 is the best.
I bought this off lease. It had 22,000 miles and with a $7000 trade in, cost me 23,000. I have had no problems. I love the way it drives and handles the road. It is very comfortable seating, with the headrests and the comfy leather interior. I love that it has so many features; though I do not use them all.

Volvo is the best all-round car you can own. It is safe,
Every Volvo I have owned has been totally reliable, most repairs have been on the warranty,. It is easy driving, has good safety features. Special mirrors and beeps so you can see cars from any angle. Cannot start car without having foot on brake. Lots of room for groceries and dogs.

Won't ever get anything other than a Volvo.
I have leased my current vehicle for 3 years. No issues with performance and I feel safe when I drive it. It is comfortable and has everything I need. The seats go down in the back for traveling and can comfortably fit 3 in the back. The software is basic as it is an “older” model.

Volvo xc60 2017 suv vehicle.
I enjoy my vehicle. It rides smooth and it has better features than my old car. It just does not drive well in the snow. It is reliable and safe from what I have seen and there are heated seats and steering wheel. It also has heated back seats which I never have before.

Best SUV you will ever own.
I love my vehicle. The car is quiet and has great performance. It has been very reliable. It is extremely comfortable. It is mainly driven around town, but we have taken it on several 8-10 hour drive trips and it is very comfortable. I have a lot of safety features which I use and really find useful.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Melinda M.

The Volvo XC60 gets extremely good gas mileage. You are alerted if your tire pressure is low, if there is a car in your blind spot or behind you when you are backing out of a parking space, which are all great safety features. There is a lot of space in the back and the back seats will fold down, so loading groceries, luggage or golf clubs is an easy task.

likeFilled Meghan D.

I like the design and it has nice features. It is also the perfect sized SUV. Not too big and not too small. It is also rated one of the safest vehicles. For the features and price, you cannot beat it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Melinda M.

Unfortunately, the back seats are not comfortable at all. In addition, the ride is not smooth at all. Also, it is extremely expensive to replace the windshield because it contains sensors of some sort.

dislikeFilled Meghan D.

It can be pricey to repair. That is my only con. I have nothing else that I dislike about this vehicle. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a dependable car. There is nothing else I can say about this brand.
