Hey, Joe. Since you mention it during so many posts I actually have a comment about the rear window wiper placement. I agree 100% that it would look better stuffed under the spoiler and out of the way but having the wiper flipped upside-down like that means the largest area of the rear window wiped would be at the very top and the bottom portion of the window would be covered in rain, dirt, fog, whatever. Since the SUV sits up higher than any sedan or coupe that means your rear visibility would be about as good as if you were driving a Lamborghini or something. Having that rear wiper at the bottom of the window is ugly as sin but, unfortunately, the most practical placement. Just my opinion. Loving these posts since I'm currently looking for an SUV. Cheers.
Dude, you're wasting your breath. I've been telling him this for a long time. He'll zonk it for eternity. It's OK for the most part to have it up top if there's a digital rear view mirror, but otherwise they need to be at the bottom of the window to see when it's dirty. He also zonks "fake vents" all the time. If it's not a performance vehicle, those areas are for aesthetics and have no need to be functional. He wants it to be flat with no design. There was one car that did that, and it looked ugly as sin.
This crossover looks fantastic. That exterior color is awesome. I dig the fact that this is Swedish and sort of a counter to the German competition. Volvo has always been an interesting brand to me.
Volvo XC60 has always been a solid mid-size SUV, but at $65k+ out the door with a turbo 4-banger only at 250ish HP, the lack of value proposition is glaring.
I think you might be mixing up the names! The XC60 is actually a Volvo model, not Volkswagen. It’s a compact SUV known for its safety features and stylish design.
i test drove the plugin hybrid and i thought it was unreasonably fast and the steering wheel was unnervingly easy to turn. in contrast the macan inspires confidence
Hey Joe once again you are the one with the best reviews!! Shout out to Steven,and Lori as well!! Nice Volvo 68k is steep but what aint these days! Thanks again.
Volvos look different than any other car, suv or wagon, which is a very good thing, and the position of the rear wiper is Volvo’s way of doing things. And I like it. That said, I wish the XC60 was available in bright trim with the B6 power train in the U.S.
My 22 was totalled loss, luckily picked up a 24 model and love the front new styling. Yea may not be as fast a macan but it’s definitely a classy not showy vehicle!
I do love the Volvo XC60 I feel like it looks super cool with those awesome lines and you know that you've made it when you are driving a swedish car. I dig the fake fence on the corners I feel like without them you'll just see too much body color and that would just look rather boring
I would definitely consider Volvo, especially the sedans and wagons, if there was a Volvo dealer anywhere near me. I’m between MKE and CHI and the closest dealers are more than 1 hour away.
Amazing that you spent that much time reviewing this vehicle and never address the title you gave this video. Not to mention not a word about hos it handles. Seriously?
XC60 is still a great looking vehicle and the interior details still outshine many of the competitors. The only real downfall of the product is the 2.0l turbo 4 cylinder engine. It has the personality of a vacuum cleaner. Mostly woman are the target customer with the XC60 so from that perspective the 2.0 turbo engine is fine. Both Porsche Macan and Audi Q5 offer more engaging Powertrain above a 4 cylinder turbo engine for the more discriminating customer.
I don’t like the rear lights at all. The Porsche overall looks a lot better to me. Quality is also an issue . Porsche > Volvo If $$ is an issue , Audi is basically a lower priced Porsche .
An overall weak effort from the swedes. Looks blade inside and out. The engine sound under full acceleration is cheap cheap cheap. Much better choices for $10k less.
Disappointing car and dated design. The small integrated infotainment system has poor resolution and looks like something out of 2014, should be iPad style like most cars these days.
Volvo. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L cars. Wanna stand out? Get this over the Audi Q5. Everyone has that silly vehicle. I would however look at the hybrid. 405HP. I have a xc40 T5 Inscription - more or less the same HP. You'll enjoy the boost on a heavier car like this.
B stands for let's of budget! 😢 I stopped purchasing Volvo once I found out it was Chinese Own. Welcome to how you can cut the corns model 😢😢😢😢 you can tell from every feature of how they have cut down 😢😢😢😢😢 even the hood looked like it was going to fold like cheap paper. 😅😅😅😅

we hve the 2024 volvo xc60 and we love it
our volvo xc60 is the hybrid version with 455bhp
also its the ultimate version
This crossover looks fantastic. That exterior color is awesome. I dig the fact that this is Swedish and sort of a counter to the German competition. Volvo has always been an interesting brand to me.
This wood trim is absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for letting me discover such a nice interior. (From Japan)
I am grateful that I can share it with you!
Good to know that if you get hit by a 4,000 pound Volvo, it has a soft engine cover.
Since no one plays with NERF footballs these days they had to find an excuse to use that material elsewhere.
What I like about Volvo's is that if I go into a ditch after being at the bar all day, I know I'll be safe.
Thanks Joe. Great job and beautiful camera work from Steven as always!

100% agreed, I'd rather get a X5

No shit
You done?
What? Joe didn't mix up anything
Your videos are a treat for the eyes and mind! The quality is top notch and the presentation of information is professional. Thank you so much!🎄🐻🐹
I’m with you Joe!! French onion dip sounds great!! Love your channel!!!
I had French onion dip with chips the other day.😊
i test drove the plugin hybrid and i thought it was unreasonably fast and the steering wheel was unnervingly easy to turn. in contrast the macan inspires confidence
Hey Joe once again you are the one with the best reviews!! Shout out to Steven,and Lori as well!! Nice Volvo 68k is steep but what aint these days! Thanks again.
You are so very awesome! Thanks for being so supportive!
Great color, great style, looks like a station wagon. Winner!
Volvos look different than any other car, suv or wagon, which is a very good thing, and the position of the rear wiper is Volvo’s way of doing things. And I like it.
That said, I wish the XC60 was available in bright trim with the B6 power train in the U.S.
I like it but I honestly prefer the wagon they sell.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 💯
My 22 was totalled loss, luckily picked up a 24 model and love the front new styling. Yea may not be as fast a macan but it’s definitely a classy not showy vehicle!
I must admit. Though I miss the days of the 5 cylinder turbo, the 2 liter 4 cylinder turbo is not a bad motor. Still can be fun and peppy.
Nice looking small SUV. I agree, hide that back wiper. I really like the wheels 😊
I would have liked to see how easy or difficult the back seats are to fold down.
I do love the Volvo XC60 I feel like it looks super cool with those awesome lines and you know that you've made it when you are driving a swedish car. I dig the fake fence on the corners I feel like without them you'll just see too much body color and that would just look rather boring
Hey, Joe beautiful car, however probably needs a v6 engine, and a lower hood struts.😊😊😊.
My T8 is 211 miles old - it’s so quick
This has Swedish fish candy storage instead of twinkies ?
🤣🤣
Can you start laying down in the back to see how the camping experience is? I love car camping.
Hey Joe, what's the one brand you're looking forward to the most for the LA Auto Show this year?
I would definitely consider Volvo, especially the sedans and wagons, if there was a Volvo dealer anywhere near me. I’m between MKE and CHI and the closest dealers are more than 1 hour away.
Love these cars. Super comfortable on trips. Safe and tasteful.
No wireless charging, or did I miss that ?
Audio quality is better in the volvo but if im buying one its the macan
Day 46 requesting the bmw m5 touring review
Amazing that you spent that much time reviewing this vehicle and never address the title you gave this video. Not to mention not a word about hos it handles. Seriously?
I am not so sure, but I do like both!
HP and torque is not good for a $68k suv. Needs at least 300hp plus. $68k is good for the T8 plug in tho
Thanks Joe. I prefer my Cadillac XT5 over this. Too bad they are doing away with the XT5 and XT6 for all electric vehicles.
Who would have thought you could get blown away in a Volvo. ;)
I don’t think it’s worth 70k but I love the wheels and chocolate seats. 😍
They do look so really good!
2.0 liter for 70k! ...very sad.
The one factor that gives me heartache is Volvo’s parent company, Geely.
Great looking volvo

Very nice auto.
Did test drive 2022, it was floating vs macan sticks on road. This no nowhere near to macan. I think its very simialr to lexus compact suv
Why does Volvo does not include wireless Apple Car Play?
I don’t like the rear lights at all. The Porsche overall looks a lot better to me.
Quality is also an issue . Porsche > Volvo
If $$ is an issue , Audi is basically a lower priced Porsche .
Funny thing: you can now pick up the fully loaded 2020-2021 for 18-22k. Go figure. I like this. Definitely not worth 68kn
Denim Blue
Interface looks so outdated especially for that price. I did like the style and that color looked awesome.
How could they charge 68k for that?? Its a beautiful car but cmon.
lol I thought you were being paid to answer the question in the title. At the end you ask all the people who haven’t reviewed them?
68k for that? This must be a joke. I would use that money on a Genesis
That’s an Ultra version
I like it but it’s a Swedish brand owned by China. This will be hit hard by Tariffs making it even more expensive
That color is phat
Will need extraction
No of course it isn’t. Beyond the seats and sheer space it has nothing on a Porsche.
Volvo has gotten tinny in recent years. Not like the industrial strength product of years past. Cheers
69k for this Volvo 😂😂😭✌🏿
68k lol no 45 maybe
An overall weak effort from the swedes. Looks blade inside and out. The engine sound under full acceleration is cheap cheap cheap. Much better choices for $10k less.
I really appreciate your passion for creating quality content. Your videos are always full of energy and inspiration!🫑🟥😵
What is that infotainment? Why does it take Volvo 10 years to update a car ?
That is an excellent question.
I got my 2025 XC90 for less, yikes
Disappointing car and dated design. The small integrated infotainment system has poor resolution and looks like something out of 2014, should be iPad style like most cars these days.
No
🤎🤎🤎
Thanks Jimmy for that support!
Infotainment needs to go!

Macan over this everyday
Sounds perfect!
