Great car, counting 200,000 kms and still strong

published

My car is counting 7 years now and the only issue I ever had was a fuel sensor
These cars are also extremely easy to service requiring only basic tools and a 36mm socket
Also considering the vehicle has over 300hp it’s very good on fuel averaging around 9.2L / 100km
I hope the new ones prove to be as tough as I’m interested to upgrade



Purchased in January 2021 for $28,000.00.

Not refined many options missing

published

Good car but dynamically floored on a hot day the turbo is heat soaked and offers no power gear box offers no paddleshift this is necessary as it needs the manual down shift as the kick down is reluctant. Engine even polyester optimised has a terrible power curve slow too fast no power not v a good map. I would go an x3 on power, plant and kit. The autonomous stuff is a gimmick and not resolved. My verdict is i f you want a st bernard big and comfy mostly trust worthy this is the car if you want real drivability get something else. Volvo isn't like BMW or merc or even Audi these car brands offer more experience and confidence. Volvo doesn't even call to follow up.

Most comfortable car we’ve ever driven

published

We love this car. It is so comfortable to be in. I once took a 15 hour flight and we went on a 9 hour drive straight from the airport and it was still comfortable. The heated seats and steering wheel warmer are used often. We have another year left on the lease and will most likely be replacing it with the current model.

Only negative we’ve had, and we’ve had this with both our xc60 and v40, is the service. For the price of the cars volvo service should be a lot better. At one point I made a complaint to the corporate office but never heard anything back from the local service department about the complaint.

Disappointing, would not buy another

published

We bought the car new and the reversing camera worked at first. After about six months the reversing camera began to work only intermittently sometimes taking as long as eighteen seconds to come on making it very difficult to reverse park. After repeated trips to the dealership with no success, we received a letter from Volvo saying that they were unable to find the fault. The letter suggested taking it to the dealership again which we have already done but other than that I get the impression that we are on our own even though the car is only just over a year old. We had expected that in a new car if there was a problem Volvo would persevere until the issue was fixed. We are very disappointed and will never buy another Volvo.

Purchased in September 2021.

Fantastic car, plenty of room.

published

Bought back in November, one of the first in Aus, and was given a Bluetooth Speaker as a thank-you. The car is perfect, performs & handles like a dream, but short second delay with the gearbox. The center screen controls most of the car, probably a step below a Tesla, includes semi-autonomous driving. The car is pretty much maxed-out in terms of it's packages. The car has plenty of room, especially in the middle seat, which in SUV's these days, are rare.

T5 Inscription, so best of the best. Good fuel economy, and reliable. I couldn't live without it. It's definitely a fun car to drive, especially the semi-autonomous part, being only a learner, it's a fun car to learn in. Definitely recommend if you want a quality SUV.

Fantastic car which surpasses its competition with ease

published

Fantastic driving experience, smooth to the touch and light steering. Minimal noise from outside, great speakers cover that anyway! Interior is clean and sleek, electronic dashboards and console are highly adaptaple and never go out of date. Car is very reliable however a little heavy to run around the city on unleaded.

Beautiful, safe family car

published

What a fun car to drive! Drives beautifully, performs well and super comfortable. The T6 R-Design is one of the most fun SUVs I've driven and would definitely recommend this car. Fuel consumption can be a slight issue. Volvo say it should be somewhere around 10L/100km, I've found it's somewhere like 12-13L/100km. But I guess the size and performance of the engine is responsible for that. Great car. Very stylish and safe.

Great family car

published

The car runs on diesel and means it is very smooth to drive. It is an all wheel drive but you can push it to do some of the things a 4WD could do like driving it on the beach. There isn't too much noise and heaps of legroom for the front 5 seats and a bit squished in the back seats but what can you expect.

Not as sporty as the X3 or the Q5 but has the best interior in its class and generation. The safety features are awesome. Adaptive cruise control is great but not accurate some Times especially when the car in the distance is stationary . The booster seat feature is unique and the best.

Driving experience very nice, good performance, low road noise, excellent handling until diff fails at 90,000 kms - replaced for $7000 Aus, windscreen starts leaking at 100,000 km- replaced for $500 Aus, im at 110,000 km now and very nervous. I want to sell this car now but re-sell value is very low.
Volvo Australia are not at all helpful and offer no support. Would I buy Volvo again? Definitely not. Stay away from European cars.

Great to drive - so well appointed

published

A pleasure to drive, handles beautifully. Interior is stylish and functional. Long trips no problem. Good fuel economy. Plenty of space in both cabin and boot. Great family car that is reliable and packed with safety features. Reversing camera and blind spot warning light great to have ( especially on the freeway).

Volvo XC60 T5 Auto MY14 - considering buying used with 100km on the clock. Can anyone advise of their experience with this model and XC60s with 100+ mileage? Thank you.

I was very disappointed with it.i found the electronic system complicated and irritating especially the GPS round dial. The car drove well enough but I didn’t find it a pleasure to drive. My main complaint was that the reversing camera took about 5 seconds to turn on after 6 weeks from new purchase and progressively took longer up to 20 seconds after 18 months. I considered Volvo completely unhelpful with this problem. Have traded the xc60 in for an Hyundai.

My experience probably doesn't suit. Bought a 2012 D5 diesel AWD with 80k on the clock. Have done 20k since then including driving on the beach and towing light loads. everything has gone well. Let the tyres down to go on the beach where my mate in his Isuzu got bogged. No problems at all, great fuel economy and comfort. Get mine serviced with a Volvo dealer. Not sure there is a better car on the market for the price
