For me a very easy pick over the germans, our streets is filled with the Q5, X3,GLC.. It looks better than the germans, interior design is way better, and basically its as good as the germans but with being more unique.
the mid trim Q5 with this stuff in it, is the same as a base XC60 with those packages added, and you will not be looked at as an idiot. If you need blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and auto high beams, you are a lazy f**king driver, and should take an Uber.
Austin P the audi with the same features is much more expensive and maintenance is twice the price as for a Volvo not to mention the usage of oil. I had to fill the carter of my Audi every 2500 miles, bugs in my navigation system, replacement of the suspension, so much for very expensive German "qualty". Never Audi anymore for me.
Julian J Clearly u are an Audi fanboy. The new XC60 has set the bar very high. We test drove a GLC and it was awful compared to the Volvo. I do not care much for a boy racer Audi so have not driven that.
I am a happy user of XC60 (previous generation) in Indonesia,Jakarta. Trust me XC60 is a really really great & comfortable car and its safety features are very helpful.
Matt you are so detailed and innovative. I love the comparison survey you did. Your 360's your capacity and infotainment videos plus your 5 good/bad things. You are a rockstar when it comes to reviews.
Just ordered a fully loaded XC60 T6 R-Design in white with 22" rims. It's a true beauty. As far as exterior and interior are concerend, X3, Q5 and GLC do not even come close. Can't wait to get it in 3-4 months.
Two questions: 1. Why would Volvo ban journalists from testing its in car safety equipment? 2. How come the UK won't be getting the T6 engine option for the XC60?
1. Maybe in case the safety equipment fails or isn't convincing enough. 2. They may have conducted a market research and found out that it wasn't a viable option (not enough potential customers).
Because Volvo knows enough journalists will fuck it up, and make the system look bad, make wild claims about it that Volvo hasn't promised it will handle, or worse yet: hit someone. Easier then to make a blanket ban, and provide a written statement and stock footage.
The old XC60 is still selling like hotcakes everywhere, especially in Europe, where it's still the #1 selling mid-sized premium SUV. I can only imagine how well the new XC60 will do.
Intrepid Milotic Don't think you'd go wrong with either, just drive them (try to drive like for like specification wise) and make up your mind from there.
Love the car except for the lack on analog car controls. Funny how a safety-first brand like Volvo has touch-screen only controls that force the drivers eyes off the road.
There are two distinct front-end design trends today, particularly on SUVs: a flat pig snout (Mitsubishi ASX etc.) and dr. Lecter's mask or "egg-cutter" (e.g. Suzuki SX-4 S-cross). This Volvo combines both styles. Well done!
Great video , but I must say after watching this video the XC60 is simply stunning, absolutely gorgeous , love that metallic green with the light interior, better looking than its bigger brother XC90 with better performance too, so much better than the German designs , this Volvo will sell by the bucket load !! I WANT ONE !!!
wonderful suv, i really like it. it's not easy to say if this is the best in class, or the q5 ot the others... because all premium cars are very good. maybe i would take this over the q5 or glc, especially if we talk about 2.0 tdi o 250 cdi !!
Not only the best looking Volvo, but the best looking SUV in the universe! You can get a nicely loaded R-Design T8 for 56K USD in the States. A like equipped XC90 will add nearly 20K to your bill. If you don't need 3 rows, this is perfect: lower priced yet faster, better handling, more economical, nicer interior design (except for no trim on the doors, but for speakers), best exterior design, easier to manage in the city.
Definitely better looking car than the Audi Yawnfest.........sorry Q5, Whose designers seem to have designed it over a Friday lunchtime in the pub. But at least this has some design flair and imagination gone into it. However, as I don't suffer from any form of badge snobbery, I'd still prefer the Skoda Kodiaq for it's extra space, practicality and versatility. Saving myself £15K in the process for a secondhand Golf GTi or used Vauxhall Insignia VXR Supersport for a bit of fun on the days that the kids aren't with me.
Such a stunning car.. it’s beautiful, elegant and sporty at the same time, such high quality interior too I recently ordered a 2018 v40 with the R-Design package but if i could i would’ve loved the xc60
not surprising you have to keep your hands at the wheel and not just from a liability/legal perspective. E.g. when you have construction zones which result you in and not driving within but across different lanes. I think I may have also heard the systems also supposedly have a problem under extreme weather e.g. heavy rain or heavy snow.
really like the way you review ! 😆 the fact that you're a qualified chartered accountant motivates me to complete the course I'm stuck up with... - a fellow automobile enthusiast
Nicely weighed good sarcasm right on the target there...do not tell Matt not to try some options on the car or get ready to be humiliated softly and effectively. Thanks Carwow's crew.
+yamahaevo - also, not only is the Q3 a smaller car than the XC60, also the Q3 is an old platform car - it's basically the old 2008 Tiguan Mk1 PQ35 platform. The Q3 must be due for replacement soon? (The new 2016 Mk2 Tiguan on the MQB platform is a different kettle of fish to the old Mk1 Tiguan). The 2017 Q5 Mk2 is new, and is on the latest MLBevo platform. Cheers.
Have you found an engine temperature gauge on the 2018 XC60? We have not. We drove a 2019 and it has one. Driving in US deserts, we like keeping track of engine temp.
What....320 hp in a D5 engine? if im not wrong the D5 engine should have 235 hp..245 with polestar optimization. And the T6 has 320 hp which is a petrol engine.
that acting deserves an Oscar
Tan KX Richard Ayoade
Sadly there isn't an award for "best leading role in a Swedish SUV", despite my constant letters to the Academy
carwow It's ok
Matt Watson and
🚗 carwow team........... no need to watch any other review channel you are doing great👍👍👍👏👏
Well you'll have to make do with the best supporting role then, lol. Great video Matt, cheers. I'd like one of these cars very much!
volvo did it again, such a handsome looking car!
How can a car be handsome?
@@nightcxregalaxy3226 just can be
Now should you:
- Avoid it
- Consider it
- Short list it
- Or go right ahead and BUY IT!
I'd recon, you should just BUY IT!
Wait for the 2019 electric version ;-D
reapertheunique 纠结xc60和q5，不知道选哪个
reapertheunique I read this with his voice... Hahahahahahahhaha
yang yang 旧版的volvo不火因为内饰太难看，新版xc60感觉可以秒杀q5，各种安全性能，开车最重要什么？就是安全嘛。
I did irl and I'm so happy with my Inscription Pro T5 I'm glad I chose it over the Jaguar F pace
Mat Watson + carwow team = no need to watch any other review channel 👏🏻
Matt sounds like he is on VW payroll.
Because he is the only one to work in Carwow !!
The car is actually receiving top notch reviews cross the board.
Autogefuhl for the real professional in depth reviews ;)
Most other reviews are way better than this stuff
Best looking in and out. Most comfortable and technologically advanced..
Damn that's one beautiful SUV.

I had one Audi. Never again, will I throw my money at VAG. I have a XC90 now, and I will probably stick with Volvo for a while, it's my third.
You want to pull yourself together and try that again? Geesh.
Julian J Clearly u are an Audi fanboy. The new XC60 has set the bar very high. We test drove a GLC and it was awful compared to the Volvo. I do not care much for a boy racer Audi so have not driven that.
As a Swede I love seeing that Volvo still has the swedish flag in their car :)
Even though it's chinese. That car is full of spy equipment now sadly
if you look closer you'll see it's a beautiful car.
I don't think you need to look close, looks beautiful even from afar.
I didn't even have to look closer its class looking to me anyway
I am a happy user of XC60 (previous generation) in Indonesia,Jakarta. Trust me XC60 is a really really great & comfortable car and its safety features are very helpful.
looks sharp
well done Volvo
Wow.Volvo has nailed it this time. Good job team Volvo. Matt as usual top brilliant review. 👍
Matt you are so detailed and innovative. I love the comparison survey you did. Your 360's your capacity and infotainment videos plus your 5 good/bad things. You are a rockstar when it comes to reviews.
lmao love the recreation of the safety features
LMAO!!!!
Wait what's your overall thoughts? Should I buy it, shortlist it, etc?
Indian Tech Support buy it its more exiting than an audiot q5 yawnfest
Fake exhausts on Mercedeses are just embarrassing
I'm sorry I'm not a native speaker :( I will try to improve... Which word did I spell wrong?
Cool Guy or just Mercedes'
***** Thanks!
Makes sense! Didn't think about that. Will consider this in the future :) Thank you for your piece of advice & I wish you a great day!
"Fake exhausts on Mercedes vehicles are just embarrassing." another way :D
It is just drop dead beautiful, should easily look good 5 or 7 years from now. Good job Volvo!
Would you look at that - 5 years since your comment, I'm reporting that XC60 still looks good and fresh
@@saperman1 yup, still my dream car
yes it does 🎉
Reminds me of the autopilot in the Airplane! movie.
Surely you can't be serious?
I am serious...and dont call me shirley
I am Shirley. And please don't call me serious.
Just ordered a fully loaded XC60 T6 R-Design in white with 22" rims. It's a true beauty. As far as exterior and interior are concerend, X3, Q5 and GLC do not even come close. Can't wait to get it in 3-4 months.
How is the car ?
i dont think he will respond @@Impunity0
Amazing car - Good job Volvo
beautiful car😍😍😍
royy beautiful presenter 😍😍😍
John Kyon ...
No!
Can not wait for the duel with Audi Q5. Keep up the good work Mat :)
If you watch it again you could se they started the stopwatch to early and stoped it to late. It should at least be 6.1 not 6.4
Two questions:
1. Why would Volvo ban journalists from testing its in car safety equipment?
2. How come the UK won't be getting the T6 engine option for the XC60?
1. I don't know
2. I don't know
1. I'd believe thats so people don't put themselves in dangerous situations
1. Maybe in case the safety equipment fails or isn't convincing enough.
2. They may have conducted a market research and found out that it wasn't a viable option (not enough potential customers).
Because Volvo knows enough journalists will fuck it up, and make the system look bad, make wild claims about it that Volvo hasn't promised it will handle, or worse yet: hit someone. Easier then to make a blanket ban, and provide a written statement and stock footage.
1. They don't want journalist to do stupid shit on public roads.
Where are the five pros and cons about xc60?!?! :(
Antonio Vale there are no cons
JewsLikeFunk just one
i cant afford it :(
A Perfect Crossover SUVolvo for me!Very Nice Job Well Done!
Boot is so beautiful I wouldn't want to put anything in there...
No 5 annoying things, and 5 that make up for them? Otherwise great video!
Maybe he couldnt find 5 annoying things.
I am in love with this !
R.I.P. German rivals.
Frocobo they already got their sales since Volvo arrived late to the game so it's not a concern
The old XC60 is still selling like hotcakes everywhere, especially in Europe, where it's still the #1 selling mid-sized premium SUV. I can only imagine how well the new XC60 will do.
GLC and X3 yes. Q5 still the best!
777Outrigger you can take Europe. Q5 will take most sold premium SUV worldwide .again☝️ #1
Check also my channel for this facelift Volvo xc60 =)
Audi Q5 or Volvo XC60 i cannot chose, that 2.0T with 320HP wtf incredible
Intrepid Milotic Don't think you'd go wrong with either, just drive them (try to drive like for like specification wise) and make up your mind from there.
Audi are dull in every way
Everyone’s going to go for the Audi. Be different, Go for the Volvo
Great review as always Mr Watson, amazing how what you were wearing changed near end of video and back again!! How do you do it 🚗🚘
Why not put English subtitles? Especially if the video gets 300,000 views.
I am not British and Matt talks fast.
Love the car except for the lack on analog car controls. Funny how a safety-first brand like Volvo has touch-screen only controls that force the drivers eyes off the road.
do you really need to change the settings while driving?
I love your shows, you're super talented. NICE WORK =D

Really tough competition here. Q5, GLC and now this beautiful XC60 from Volvo.
You are very straight in saying what is good and what is not. I like that
In India... this new XC60 is launched in a single D5 inscription trim and when converted this car costs £74,000 or ₹6,400,000 INR.
Love the safety demo!
Definitely better looking car than the Audi Yawnfest.........sorry Q5, Whose designers seem to have designed it over a Friday lunchtime in the pub. But at least this has some design flair and imagination gone into it. However, as I don't suffer from any form of badge snobbery, I'd still prefer the Skoda Kodiaq for it's extra space, practicality and versatility.

JAG sixtyfive get the Golf! :D
please do a long time review of xc60 as you own one /// or may be a vs with audi q5.
Best in class? Quite possibly. Definitely much more appealing than a Q5. IMO, on par with the GLC. X3, who?
senorgato70 Porsche Macan Turbo, enough said
Nice job again, Matt
Such a stunning car.. it’s beautiful, elegant and sporty at the same time, such high quality interior too
I recently ordered a 2018 v40 with the R-Design package but if i could i would’ve loved the xc60
Anytime soon will a Volvo XC60 2018 vs Audi Q5 2018 out? Love your videos!!!
5 pros and cons? shortlist/consider it/avoid it/buy it etc?
I'm sensing an advertisement
Thank you Mat for saying that you liked the car. That makes my decision more precise now.
I'm soooo getting this beauty this year :)
` Nostalgia

p
@ tt

love it, but I agree my current XC60 R Design has the five Cylinder, going to miss that engine
X3 is best in this class. XC60 is still a beautiful vehicle, but the lack of physical buttons can be a problem while driving.
not surprising you have to keep your hands at the wheel and not just from a liability/legal perspective. E.g. when you have construction zones which result you in and not driving within but across different lanes. I think I may have also heard the systems also supposedly have a problem under extreme weather e.g. heavy rain or heavy snow.
Haven't laughed this hard in a while, thanks for the brilliant comedy acting performance.
Well done with the safety party 😂👍 that's the reason I subscribed. Keep it up☺️
awesome review
Surprise ! Another SUV review. Great
Volvo car are amazing
am envious of you Matt
2:03 Mat is doing a pretty good David Ayoade impersonation!
Thank you for detailed review. Love new XC60
I've been waiting new XC69 so long. xc90 is way too beefy. great video, Matt!
Lamba Kari Xc 69 or you mean xc 60 ?
hama king i also love the xc69
Nice review, actually most of your reviews are easy to watch!
Make a review on the Mercedes GL/GLS
Beautiful interior
cannot wait for local review
really like the way you review ! 😆
the fact that you're a qualified chartered accountant motivates me to complete the course I'm stuck up with...
- a fellow automobile enthusiast
Nicely weighed good sarcasm right on the target there...do not tell Matt not to try some options on the car or get ready to be humiliated softly and effectively. Thanks Carwow's crew.
Do an Alfa Stelvio review please.
The five people that disliked really need lessons in sophistication
why compare it to a q5 all the time? is there not a q3???????????????
yamahaevo The Q3 is smaller. The XC90 is in the same class as the Q7, and the XC60 is equivalent to the Q5. There will be a smaller XC40 I believe.
+yamahaevo - also, not only is the Q3 a smaller car than the XC60, also the Q3 is an old platform car - it's basically the old 2008 Tiguan Mk1 PQ35 platform. The Q3 must be due for replacement soon? (The new 2016 Mk2 Tiguan on the MQB platform is a different kettle of fish to the old Mk1 Tiguan). The 2017 Q5 Mk2 is new, and is on the latest MLBevo platform. Cheers.
a random question but
which one s90, bmw 5, mercedes E or audi a6
I call head to head between this the q5 and the jaguar f pace
So the rear seats can fold completely flat? 4:02
I like the more boxy XC90 a bit more. But would prefer the smaller size. They're both very nice.
i am so looking forward to the V60.
Pls do a comparison between the XC60, X3 and Q5
I can't wait till the new infotainment system is in the V40.
this time your review is as beatifull as jaguar f pace
What a gorgeous car😍
Have you found an engine temperature gauge on the 2018 XC60? We have not. We drove a 2019 and it has one. Driving in US deserts, we like keeping track of engine temp.
Loved the safety demo 😂😂
it's a wonderful SUV but i really hate the touch screen central dashboard.
you should test drive the T8 version of the XC60
Another great, humerous review: Cheers, Mat.
Please do 2017 Volvo S60 cross country
When you tried the Q5 with air suspension was it fitted with a 20 inch wheels? If smaller it will make a slight difference
I just watched the Q5 review in Mexico and it was fitted with the 19 inch wheels
Fantastic car. Nice loud sound on this review too.
Best review you've ever done!!
THAT 360 DEGREE CAMERA IN 0:12 IS CRAAAAAAAAZYYYYYY
Volvo's has the largest one though.
You complain about not having a T6 when I want a D5 here in the US. That type of fuel mileage doesn't exist here in SUVs.
If I'm right, this car is pretty much in between the V90 and the XC90?
What....320 hp in a D5 engine? if im not wrong the D5 engine should have 235 hp..245 with polestar optimization. And the T6 has 320 hp which is a petrol engine.
Mat is a dope reviewer
I love the touch only I love this car
Absolutely great car. I like it.
Can you do a head to head with volvo xc90, skoda kodiak and peogout 5008 ?
best volvo ever . i think the car is very good to handle ,
but mat watson is very funny.
Biggest robbery in film history how Mat Watson didn’t win an Oscar for that acting.
