The new Volvo SUV review; xc40 model.
Absolutely no issues, very comfortable and so many great safety features. Love the mirror lights for upcoming cars and the auto cruise is a nice freeway touch. The headrests on the back seat folding with a press of a button is wonderful. The manual could be a bit more forthcoming. To purchase another down the road will make the international trip to view the factory.

First time owner of a Volvo.
It is pretty reliable and comfortable. The only feedback is that the center monitor takes awhile to power up. Especially when trying to send an address to your car to start GPS. Performance wise it is pretty good. This is our first luxury car experience.

Love to drive my beautiful car! Volvo xc60.
The Volvo xc60 is a beautiful car that rides great! I love my car because it Is Different than a lot of cars that you see on the road today. My car has most of the options that you can get in a car which makes it fun to drive! I have heard that it is one of the safest cars to drive and I can see that all the options help make it that way. I am happy with the gas mileage too. I have had a problem with balancing and rotating the tires. It took a few trips back to the shop to get that straighten out.

Great vehicle all around!
I love my vehicle. The outside is sleek. The interior is superb. The performance and drive is awesome. The built in technology is up to date and very useful. I love the paint color. Tires are good for all weather. The inside is spacious and luxurious. My friends and family like it. All in all great vehicle.

Just about as safe as it gets.
The 2018 Volvo xc60 is the best car I have ever driven. It seems about as safe as a car can be. My favorite safety features are its parking assist, lane control, blind spot warning lights, and the car stopped itself when my partner almost crashed it. I love its comfort features such as the heated steering wheel and extensive seat adjustment options including the placement of lumbar support. I feel that this car is very reliable, high performing, and user friendly. My only real complaint about the car so far is that the speakers that come with the car could be a bit louder, but I may have a tendency to listen to louder music in the car than many.

Once a Volvo, always a Volvo.
Volvo xc60 is a very good and safe SUV. It offers three capable powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid, and it gets good gas mileage while providing a comfortable ride. The interior is arguably the finest in the class, with plush, spacious seats, ample cargo space, and plenty of features.

Great car
Have a 90 as well. The 60 is solid, well made, beautiful car. Quiet, firm but pleasant, tranquil interior. Love the Adaptive cruise with pilot assist the most. Highly recommended. Still built like a tank.

Wonderful technology in the cad.
Love the style and performance. I also love the technology that the vehicle has and haven't had too many problems with something not working. The only downside is that certain parts of the car (like tires) are very expensive to replace. The app and Wifi in the car are also a nice upgrade to my last vehicle.

Best decision of my life was choosing this vehicle for me and my family.
I love everything on this vehicle. I safe, comfortable, and convenient. Spacious interior and good for my family. I really can think in another vehicle better that this one. If you are looking for a family vehicle, this is the best one to choose from. I look a many other SUVs and this the one with everything on it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Alex C.

Vehicle is easy to drive and many features that are considered as extras in other vehicles come standard on this vehicle. My favorite features are the heads up display (projection of speed on windshield) and lane monitoring.

likeFilled Trina L.

Nice drive, very comfortable and great features. Bought the car new and have enjoyed many road trips with family of four and one dog. Fun car to drive around town, and small enough for me to park yet big enough for family.

likeFilled Sandra P.

Comfortable, updated dashboard electronics, navigation and safety features cameras etc. Cons, too many items that can be configured or turned off but need to refer to an online manual only and the manual is confusing and complicated.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Alex C.

While I love the overall look and feel of the vehicle there are some features that they (the sales people) really try to push. They really push the My Volvo app for this vehicle. Since it was included free I have found it to be beneficial, but in a prior vehicle I did not find it was worth the subscription cost.

dislikeFilled Trina L.

I have the r design which miles per gallon seems to be more than other models. But I love the r design package. It is sporty and feels very luxurious to drive and as a passenger. Fell in love with the car the minute I saw it on the lot.

dislikeFilled Sandra P.

Online only manual that is complicated if you want to turn off or modify some of the annoying safety features. Alarming impact eminent features when not appropriate, also alarms when no cars or obstacles nearby, too sensitive.
