Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Fun to drive,
fun to look at, practical enough.
Excellent range and charging.
A Very Good electric car

Cons
It’s a bit big - you have to think full-size SUV when parking -
could be a bit odd-looking for some,
not exactly cheap

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Stylish design inside and out
Good to drive
Fast charging and clever vehicle-to-load tech

Cons
Firmer ride than some alternatives
Rear visibility isn't great
The boot could be larger

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
More stylish than most mainstream EVs,
athletic and refined driving behavior,
comfy and roomy inside.

Cons
Infotainment system has some drawbacks,
lacks game-changing driving range,
small front trunk space.

Former T8 plug-in hybrid is now called Recharge.Adaptive headlights, hands-free liftgate and rear USB-C ports added as standard.

Pros
Elegant interior design
Spacious second-row seating
Many standard safety tech features
Available as a plug-in hybrid

Cons
Not as fun to drive as most competitors
Too many controls tied to frustrating touchscreen interface
Ride is a little busier than you might expect from a luxury crossover

The XC60 receives several new standard features for 2021, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, LED headlights, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and front parking sensors, as well as a new 19-inch wheel design and power-folding exterior mirrors with an auto-dimming function. Volvo has eliminated AM radio on the XC60, but fans of the format will still be able to listen via a provided app, TuneIn, through the infotainment system.

Pros
Handsomely designed inside and out,
good fuel economy from all three powertrains,
plenty of standard safety tech.

Cons
Infotainment system response lags at startup,
hybrid powertrain needs refinement,
dinky interior storage bins.

The 2019 Volvo XC60 is the full picture: advanced powertrains, gorgeous interior, subtle exterior.

Pros
New, affordable front-wheel drive offering
Gorgeous interior
Competent powertrains
Standard advanced safety features
Logical and sharp touchscreen

Cons
Can get pricey quickly
Not especially fuel efficient without a plug
Requires premium fuel
It’s not in our driveway now
