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

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.

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.

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.

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).

Hello;

I recently acquired a 2011 Volvo XC T5 2.0 Petrol Engine- Automatic transmission.

I dont know what to say. Interior and exterior is just perfect, breathtaking. Driving this car really amazes you and it is amazing!

However the fuel consumption is really crazy. It consumes around 17lt/100km in the city, however I need to state that we do lots of short trips in heavy traffic. Despite that, it still is quite high...

If there was a drop down menu to choose so that it can express my feelings towards this car, it would be "it is complicated"

I still recommend it though, as it is a really nice one...

Never take your Volvo at Austral Brisbane for service... they keep doing diagnose and charge very unreasonable amount even without fault find... they will again and again ask for more time to find the fault and at the end of the day you will be paying a hefty amount for their time of learning/research on your car without any outcome..!

After 50,000kms the engine gave up and had to be replaced. The car had always been driven carefully and regularly serviced. Volvo was terrible and provided no support blaming the fuel quality in Australia. If fuel quality is no good enough for their cars wihy are they selling them? Anyway lots of issues as well before and after the engine blew up. Certainly my last Volvo.

I bought a used XC60 T5 with 30,000 miles expecting it would be a reliable SUV, but my XC60 did not meet my expectations of quality from Volvo.

Pinging/knocking noise from engine under low revs and load.

Powershift transmission whilst being 'automatic' actually felt very similar to a manual car with the rough gear changes.

Wish I bought a reliable Toyota Corolla for 20 years of trouble free motoring!

The windshield wipers stopped working. Took car to garage, the computer was full of garbage messages. Cleaned out computer messages and the wipers started to work. Also, the "position light" notice no longer came up on he screen, the front LED light that had not worked for about a year came on, and the upper left parking light (also not working for some time) came on.
Just an additional note - apparently the rear fog lights are not a set. Only the left is supposed to light. I wish I had known this before I tried to replaced the right side bulb several times and became frustrated. The manual only refers to the one on the left side.
