uk xc60 2009 d5 2.4 lux now with 100k miles had replaced since 70 k to 100 k windscreen rebonded (common issue) , new front springs, as 1x broken spring, ( unlucky) 1 x engine torque top mount (common issue), 1 x radiator ( leaking from the bottom), rear trailing arm bushings replaced ( common issue) , and rear boot lock replaced, other than that normal servicing and preventative maintenance, eg gear box oil, timing belt etc, haldex filter and oil change, diff oil change , and its still on the original glowplugs , dpf and exhaust... its a fairly reliable SUV
I most definitely do not agree with the statement “buying from a top rated main dealer to make it stress free and fun” 12month old Mazda MX5 purchased from a Mazda Main Dealer - clutch went after 3 weeks, dealer refused to replace or even contribute towards costs VW Caddy Purchased from VW/Skoda Main Dealer - was told that they carried out a full service prior to my collection, my mechanic showed me the air and oil filters which were quite clearly very old and not just recently replaced Main dealers are only interested in you until you hand over your money then you are on your own
I have an 2014 XC60 with 80,000 miles with 3.2 litter gasoline engine with absolutely no issues. Much more comfortable and safer than any Japanese car.
Searching for a motor comparison between the newer 2.0 litre e-drive D4 (2017) and the older D5 praised here for its power, as have heard that the newer and more efficient D4 e-drive is a match for the D5 in terms of acceleration. Can this be looked into by Car Wow?
I have owned both. If you tow then D5 all day long. The now obsolete 5 cyl D5 is legendary and was popular in the v70mk2. D4 will give you all you need and more economical but doesn’t have that Tigertank throaty roar that you get with the 5 cylinder.
I own 2012 XC60. Always something every month. Just put in new alternator for battery now the airbag light is on. Mechanic says sensor. Expensive to repair. Everything breaks but has a good engine. The $45,000 dollar car ends up at $60,000 in ten years your lucky to get $10,000.00 for it.
I'm looking to buy a 2014 volvo xc60 with 120,000 miles from auction. It's D5 with All wheel drive with rear media package (tvs), satnav and just things like that. Hiw much would you guys say to bid max?
We purchased a 2022 Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription, and it's truly a beautiful vehicle. However, we decided to return it due to the absolute lack of room in the back! I don't understand how they can demonstrate sitting in the back with your knees against the front seat and claim it's comfortable. Anyone who thinks there is enough legroom when their legs are pressed against the front seats needs to have their heads examined. Selling it new for $55k US seems unreasonable considering the lack of backseat room, and even at $33k for a used vehicle, in retrospect. The problem of limited backseat room isn't unique to Volvo; it's also a concern in other mid-sized SUV models. Car manufacturers have been cutting costs over the last 20+ years by reducing the length of vehicles, and consumers seem to be buying into it. As long as consumers are willing to pay for smaller vehicles, the car industry will likely continue with their irresponsible cost-cutting in areas that we can easily identify. However, despite the lack of room for back passengers, the overall safety and quality of the Volvo XC60 it’s an excellent mid-sized SUV -if you don’t mind no space for the back passenger’s.😎
Sorry this was a review of a used car from 2018. Here is a generation overview from CarGurus that may help you. www.cargurus.co.uk/Cars/Volvo-XC60-2017-Generation-Overview-mg112
Biggest load of rubbish these modern, now old cars. Sensors, screens, auto boxes all play up. Get yourselves an older cheaper car pre 2000 and spend money on cheaper parts and a car that doesn't cost £120 a time to plug in for diagnostic tests.
On the other hand there's no need to do 2 hour pre-drive inspection and no need to tow a trailer with tools and spare parts just in case. A small and light computerized tool (if not the car itself) tells about problems in advance. It does shift the spotlight in maintenance to a degree to the electronics though - it's not just a bunch of metal, but a complex system. Hence why it's fun even if something breaks imo.
All depends how the car was maintained, I had Volvo V40 2012, with 172K on the clock and it was running like a Swiss watch. I know since Volvo started being produced in China the quality has dropped, but with the good maintainence should be OK. There's not many cars out there which can be branded 100% reliable.
@@iatanassov6687 The service costs are over the top. Im sure a good maintenance program is helpful but the cars are no longer well built and shitty electronics are common.

Main dealers are only interested in you until you hand over your money then you are on your own
were you told that a full service was done or did you actually see the service book? Where are you from because that just sounds incredibly unusual
Every major dealer that you can deal with are `CRIMINALS`
You’re talking about Mazda…this is Volvo…
There called stealership
Totally agree. Warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Don’t worry your going on to get your problems.
is it for sale??
New intro...Volvo IS cool and always has been.
Volvo P1800, 480 turbo, 850T5R, V70R, C30, S60 polestar....

D5 5 cylinder is more reliable.
What about XC70 model ?
All car reviewers should state their height and inseem measurement before a review. Difficult to gauge how much room there is, being 6'2".
Aren't tall people all legs? Never look much taller seated. ;-)
Was thinking the same. Gauging his height against the car he's well under 6ft though

I got t6 2012 for 10k in Australia. Had the break fail warning due to alternator. Otherwise its fine

Why is he closing the rear hatch like that? It has a button to open and close automatically. 🤔
Not on all variants
hello, what size are the tires ? please

Thank you!
You're welcome!
T6 has plenty of torque low as well. But boy does it gobble gas (14 l/100 km for mine).
We can not find a manual one here
I have a xc 60 polstar and it's bomb
It’s a car. They all suck. Dealer tells you how great the car is then sells you the warranty for when it becomes a piece of junk and breaks down.
Who keeps a mobile phone in their boot???

garbage! Volvo sucks ....something breaks every month....if its got 100,000km...get rid of it...its CRAP
