- This is the new Volvo V60. Given the makeover compared to its predecessor, it's hard to argue that the new V60 doesn't look good. But when you consider that it costs more than an Audi A4 Avant or BMW 3 Series, does the V60 really offer enough for you to choose it over one of these German market leaders? There’s only one way to find out… Keep watching and let us know what you think in the comments!

4:00 - Ummm... Don't forget your phone, Mat!
Yes, I was getting to write it in here! :D
Thats too funny 😂😂
I was here wayyy before a million subscribers!!
RIP PHONE
3:35 The guy on the left, isn't he from Autotrader channel?
best looking estate car by far
RS6
Tom Molitor e350e estate?
The v90 is better!
V 90 is cooler
Let me fix that for you. Ahem..."Best looking somewhat affordable estate car"
When Carbuyer uploaded their video of V60, My first thoughts were "I'll check it out when Matt reviews it"
This guy knows...
Oooh throwing some shade on the competitors.
Box0rz or his previous employers..., but hey Carwow is better...
He's good, but not the best !! Thomas rules !!!
Reveal Media
That channel died as soon as he left, Its now a boring shell of itself.
Caewow ftw.
im getting anxiety over the fact that he left his phone there
Ahhh, your phone is tied to you by an umbilical cord. It's a phone-bilical cord!
Volvo needs to make another V60 Polestar especially now that it looks this good.
///M [R]S the s60 polestar is comming, Im guessing v60 will come too
Think it might come one tbh
Polestar makes the Polestars...
Sirion They do, but they have also made the s60 polestar engineered with improved performance and some different parts to improve handling and the sporty feel. They announced it a few weeks ago.
Here is a link to it as well: volvocars.com/intl/cars/new-models/s60/trims/polestar-engineered
4:10 RIP phone
i loled hard rip
back to life 08:50
It´s definitely good looking for an estate family car - I am a BMW fan and I do like the new 3 Series Estate a lot - but this Volvo is overall more elegant. Volvo is doing a freaking great job adding to the competition in these classes.
Has actual exaust pipes ? Wow
No it doesn't. Look a little bit better
Even if they were real, it’s not a sporty car by any means
Yes but at least the exhaust pipes go through the fake bit rather than some other German rivals *Mercedes*
Its just good to see them when most of other cars use some fake cutouts for no reason imaginble to a human
Volvo and BMW still keeping it real
I’ve got a Volvo XC70 and the shopping bag holder is brilliant! You’re supposed to lift up the horizontal elastic strap, hook the bags then lift the elastic around all the shopping together. It’s really effective
I love my xc70 to bits!! intergalactic mileage and all
j
So you're that one person on the planet they invented these hooks for...I mean seriously why not just use your back seats or a simple crate for it?
@@Jorg05111980 kids in the back and who wants to carry a crate? Use the feature for what’s it’s designed for. Not hard is it?
@@bigwordbird Still didn't convince me or anybody else, they are useless...and they make you look like you shouldn't have kids (the natural way)
Just bought one of these, having owned BMWs for the last 18 years. Momentum Pro T4 with Pilot Assist, Winter Pack & convenience pack. CarWow saved me nearly £8,000 and I got 2.9% APR. It is a really good car, two annoying points is the LED light on the Autohold function is so dim you are never sure if it is on. And as Mat has mentioned, putting heater controls on infotainment is a pain, BMW stopped doing this 10 years ago. Also the petrol is quite thirsty and a tad gruff when revved hard. Aside from that it is brilliant in every respect. The Pilot system is amazing and makes long motorway trips a doddle and a much cheaper option than BMW's version. A BMW 320i specced the same was £4K more. Love BMWs but Volvo has clinched it for me. Definitely shortlist if you are in the market for a premium quality estate car.
Im planning to get either T8 or 330i. How’s ur impression on V60 after owning BMw for 18 years?
In my country, T8 V60 around GBP 53k.
@@alohasnackbar3544 Take them both for a test drive. TBH the BMW 3 series is a better driver's car - v60 has a lazy auto, which lets it down somewhat. Not sure what discounts are on offer at moment but when I bought mine, Volvo offered almost 20% off list price, and a great finance deal, which BMW couldn't match, and I wanted the semi-autonomous driving as I do long motorway stretches, which would have made the BMW much more expensive. Plus I fancied a change, Good luck.
@@alohasnackbar3544 the t8 is great
@@iankrender8742 tuned gearbox on t6 and t8😉
@@jonah1660 volvo emailed me last week as it is due a service and are offering a "Polestar" software upgrade to the sluggish auto, but it is £650. Seems to me Volvo admit they have a problem with it but want to charge the earth to fix it.
I think is the perfect wagon! 👍
What do you think about its prıze
5:00 " who wants a CD player? "
Do the over 50s generally have Spotify?
No.
So they'll be the ones who want a CD player.
Also, there are still many people who buy CDs and vinyls, even cassette tapes. It's a hobby for many music nerds. Those people will enjoy the player as well.
ikr. Different strokes for different folks.
Volvo owners middle age is probably 75 years
Riku Savolainen I was being kind to Volvo, I was thinking maybe 65.
Riku Savolainen 62 is the age of the average volvo buyer. Well so the a women from volvo told me last year
1. You can lock the rear climate so your kids cant fiddle with it.
2. The Audi is Diesel makes way more noise than the Volvo and do i also have to mention Diesel gate?
3. The gear shift "lag" as you show it is very exaggerated.
4. The Dynamic setting will of course not make the car more comfortable as its the same as Dynamic mode on an Audi. I.e. "sports mode".
5. The shopping bag holder is not meant to "hang" bags on, its simply to fixate them by a pivot point so they do not roll around in the back.
6. Even a kid can open the sunroof blinds without opening the roof, so saying it took you 6 months to learn is also very exaggerated.
7. CD player is optional so its not usually in the mid glove box.
8. The "stiff" gear shifter is also exaggerated as hell.
It sad to see you always compare everything to Audi when almost everything you mention in your clips are options in Audi's and would cost you several thousands of pounds more.
There are also several times you've mentioned and/or compared other cars and say they miss this function or that function when in reality they have it. Also worth to mention is that all the stuff for Audi you always mention is usually options, hence why you should probably state that and say how much extra it costs.
Jonas Bergqvist he compares it to an Audi A4 contrary to him in possession of one.
Natural human nature to reference things back to what you known best hence him talking about his own car.
Don't thing this is a national crime😂
Carwow is an infomercial for VAG products
He's shown the transmission downshift lag in a number of Volvo reviews now. How is that wrong?
I didn't say it was lag free, as in all automatic gearboxes there is lag, i have an Audi A4 Allroad diesel -16 and there is quite alot of lag there too. I just said it was very very exaggerated.
Not sure why you’re so offended by this review... the V60 caters to the same ppl that are looking at Audi’s, BMW 5 series and Mercedes C-class... The review is fair on all accounts.
I have the same shopping bag hook in my VW Passat trunk. The point of these is not to hold the weight of your shopping bags, as you can easily overload and break them. It's supposed to keep the content of the bag from spilling and it's perfect at doing this.
2:06 Matt, shopping bag is additionally held by the horizontal rubber band below the hooks. You should pull it back and place the bags between the devider and the rubber band, then hang the bags and it will hold them in place nicely.
I still don't get why you ignore the voice control for most functions? You dont need a knob to change the temperature just press the button and say im cold or hot or change temp to 22.5 as an example and bingo. You dont need to touch the screen. This works on phone, sat nav, seat heaters, stereo from one button! Maybe you could demonstrate this on future volvo videos Matt
Yes you are right, only a handful of testers have told the viewers about this feature !! WHY ??????????????????????????
Sounds really slow.
vanhakaveri takes a couple of seconds...
I'm actually looking to buy one of these one day and I love Matt's review as it shows the usual things you would deal with on an everyday basis
Volvo is killing it with V60 2019.
“hanging the shopping bag” keeps the open side of the bag up. It doesn’t stop the bag from moving around as you drive but it keeps its contents from falling out.
Seems he’s got two phones, one for the front and one for the rear..lol !
Great video, I’ve been subscribed a long time, I love Volvos for their safety and tech.
The new Volvo V60 looks stylish, more spacious compared to its predecessor, packed with cool tech e.g. Pilot Assist, and very comfortable to drive despite the steering feedback may not feel exciting.
You buy a Volvo because you have great self esteem
Always a thumbs up to you're videos. This one gets a bigger thumbs up.
Love Volvo, but would like it more if they was more standard kit.
Good video Mat. You're not getting old!
I want a CD player to enjoy premium hi-fi sound in my Volvo. Thanks Volvo!
I still have a cassette player in mine.
That rock comparison was on point 👏
Driftwood by Travis at 5:29. Such a classic. Makes me feel kinda old.
Another great review, thanks. The luggage cover...very easy to find a place to store it: across the bottom of the rear seats over the car's floor as long as there is nobody in there (I am assuming the rear seats have been folded flat actually but if they haven't and if there is people on the rear seats then it can be left in place with its cover retracted... that's exactly how I do it on my V60 previous. gen and works fine). CD players: probably it would make more sense to make it an option but without hard figures about demand and production cost is difficult to judge Volvo's move
7:45 ahh there's that British humor I've been waiting for
The R line in black hmmmmm Swedish gangster 😎
+Gareth Mckeown with 5%tint it would be the actual case :D
Robert Bidochon cuz tint is illegal if you're not a taxi driver or a gov't employee
R-design
An Forza fan sorry
R-Design line ✌🏼
Gareth Mckeown its only R-design
The car manual is also in the infotainment system and you can use a search function which is handy
Love the videos! Could you (try to) do a video on the Opel Grandland X? I recently drove 4000km with it in 4 days and I was absolutely in LOVE with it! Would love to see your guys’ review on it
You're so wrong! I want a cd player in my car! The quality of sound is a major factor for me.
If quality is important, then a stereo with a USB header would be a better choice
Same as you. I just want a no hassle way to play music.
If you ever autoconnected your phone via bluetooth and the music auto-starts, you have no hassle. and changing the song with google/apple car is easier than taking out cds out of the box (especially while driving).
@@HERODMasta I have a six-disc Pioneer in my 940. Plenty of songs and no need to swap out discs.
@@CIubDuck this is false
Just amazing volvo realy nailed it :) I would prefere this over german trio
What is better on the Volvo then?
@@victorhansen839 the safety, comfort, looks, practicality, interior. The infotainment is better than the one on the Mercedes c class estate.
@@bigbadbear2962 all of those are just opinions except for safety, and it is not like the german cars are unsafe
@@victorhansen839 actually the practicality isn’t an opinion. The Volvo has 100 more litres of boot space and much larger leg and head room at the rear. The Volvo is also more reliable. Volvo also has a pilot assist system which is really useful and nice to use that none of the German cars have.
@@bigbadbear2962 very good point. What you have just explained is a boring car for old people who don’t really like driving but has to and want to go slow and steady. If you want a true drivers car you pick the BMW. That’s exactly why the 3 series wins in it class by carwow and the Volvo comes last. Don’t get me wrong the new volvos to day are really good but for me I feel like the bmw is the best alrounder
Great review! Could you please tell us how it compares to the S/V90 in terms of comfort and soundproofing? Thanks a lot!
In America will this be available with the twin charged 2.0L?
Matt showing off these sick gains. Proud of you mate :) keep it up
6:50 U gotta hold the button matt, its really light then
Also control climate and temp functions by voice command. Steering wheel functions are most useful and the the CD is a £100 optional extra.
I’d say the CD player is there for the oap’s, as they’ve always been a fan of this particular make of vehicle
I think this looks tighter and sportier than the V90. Great looking car.
Having POV shots for showing visibility is absolutely brilliant idea!
Matt when your changing to gears there’s a button you hold on the front to make it easier than you make it 😁
I like the videos just bcoz u say PLEASE like it and share it. Respect to Mat
Some say that Mat's phone's still stuck in the armrest to this day
this could very well pull me away from SUV"s now wow
Been waiting for this for a long time!
6:10 the song artist was The D4 and the cars engine is a “D4” 😉
12:40 only the D3 comes with a manual all the other versions are with automatic transmissions only.
Great car from Volvo as always!
Sam Cereal well not always
That's the power of marketing
Ekku wich is bad
You make amazing videos my man
Have you always use metric system on your videos? Cuz thats amazing!
Those leds 😍😍😍
Hey... Don't bash the CD player. Old folks still use their prized collection. My dear uncle wanted to get a cd changer installed in his new X5 last year and was about to spend about £500 on it and waste half his useable glovebox area..until I convinced him that I can rip those CDs and put them on a 256GB thumb drive and plug and forget the tiny thing in his centre cubby.
What about those of us who are well over 50 and still have cassettes that we want to play in our car??
Nice vid. You’ve got things mixed up a bit tho. The 1st V60 was the departure (led by Steve Mattin) from the ”brick-design” (old V70). This one is actually more ’boxy’ - however much more stylish in my eyes, yes.
Well done for the fact that you use S.I measurements (cm) 👍👍👍👍👍good videos keep it up
"But when you consider that it costs more than an Audi A4 Avant or BMW 3 Series"
- wow expected more from a professional journalist than to use typical misplaced fanboy like comments. Mat do tell how much does a A4 avant with the roughly a similar engine and virtual cockpit, full dual/triple zone climate control, electronic adjusted front seats, sat nav top range screen, auto, and and and cost?
Nevermind the fact the V60 is a new generation car not a facelift. I am sure the same generation A4 will be way more than this, effectively nullifying the price stand point.
By the same token isn't the new A class also too high?
He said the starting price was more and that you get more equipment
4:07 mat, i think You forgot something...
Waiting for your review on 2019 Volvo S60 Mat!!
When the T8 comes out can you do review's of those for all the xc/v/s60's
7:55 - Mat, don't tell me you are unable to run the cover around the hooks...
Great joke with Driftwood :DDD Love the song and love the video!
My best tip is to get maximum 19 inch wheels and the noise isolation windows. Also I think the front end is sport car level.
Iv got one and the parcel shelf has never fallen off and it’s easy to put back
6:50 - Beefcake!
I'd tap it
Those guns 💪🤤
12.19: "BMW 5 Series Touring"
What? Did you mean "3 Series Touring"?
The car also drives itself when it sees lines on the road and you can talk to Siri and it will give you options on how you want to respond to people and you able to set the temperature through Siri aswell
Great review, thank you
i must say that this in volvos good looking estate car ever made :D
"You have to do a cheeky reach around to get the flap down" - tee hee
In the boot, that's what the strap across the divider is for! You put the handles under the elastic and hook them up then the bags aren't going to come off
I mean... “The Rock” comparison was a stretch, but we still love you lol
I go to bed daily....watching ur videos.. and listening your voice....😍😴
This car is so much better than an a4. Try to spec a similar a4 and you pay atleast 5k more
Yup...the bog standard A4 Avant with absolutely nothing may start at a lower price, but add anything useful and the price climbs so fast. Typical VAG.
There is no vehicle better than Audi....if you wanna challenge me on this then *_I WILL FIND YOOOOOUUU!_* unless you apologize for your disrespect to Audi,that is.
There is no vehicle better than Volvo.......if you wanna challenge me on this then I WILL FIND YOOOOOUUU! unless you apologize for you disrespect to Volvo,that is.
@@Colin623 BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!....I'm packing my bags now,Audi will not tolerate this,I suggest you start running.
Audiwan Kenobi you are right
Mat, if you pop for the Bowers and Wilkins that you and every other viewer is in love with, you actually might like to have the CD player - because MP3 quality will never get the best out of that system.
As always love it vids!!
better than all competitions. Volvo all the way
This car it’s awsome !
2:00 Just to make people aware, this is an issue on the current-gen C Class too. I have an estate and it is very irritating how low the bag hooks are.
I’ve been driving a v60 t6 inscription for half a year now and MY LORD IT IS THE BEST CAR EVER. And I’ve driven a Audi and bmw 3 series many times.
Love volvo 😍😍😍
What is your problem with a CD player in the car? You must not own any CD's. How do you expect to listen to the Queen of England (Elton)?
Download it on your phone
CDs carry higher quality track compared to mp3. That combined with a quality sound system is a nice touch on volvo's part. But sound quality will also depend on quality of soundproofing in the car.
Lush, I just saw like a light beige one go by. Definitely the car for me😍
Mat's biceps tho
Adam Anonymous um yes and that bulge 🤤
Very distracting 😂
My parents just bought a V60 T8 R-Design, and In my opinion I love everything in it😍😍 I live in Sweden!! Swedish quality;)
Phil Blackburn No they build the v60 at the Torslanda plant.
@Phil Blackburn go educate yourself you sound slow
B&W audio is the best!
Great as alway but always when I see someone doing the talegate dance to open the trunk I ask myself, could these sensors getting worst by dirt?
Just in case you forgot where your phone is, you kept it in the middle seat
Review feels a bit biased. Jag reviews are positively skewed on the other hand.... hmmm
About the steering at 10:18. Isn't it because it is an adaptive powered steering? Or maybe a setting of the driving mode? So you don't have to actually steer really much on lower speeds like a roundabout.
Will a new Peugeot 508 review one come out? And audi q3?
God Bless Mat Watson :)
🙏
Dwayne Johnson will also be the next U.S president in 2024.
If I knew steroids could give you so much success in life, I would start doing them earlier
Why not 2020? Do you want the current imbecile to go for a 2nd term?
He will be Republican.
Trump will win 2020...there's no one who will run against him.
wonder what his campaign slogan is gonna be.
as soon as mat came to the seats, he could have mentioned something which he did not, the seata were really low. that is what he admits.in every car which has that problem. still a good review.
Hi Matt,
can you make S60 Polestar edition in-depth review? 🌳
Thanks in advance 👍
Back seats are ejector seats 🤣🤣
Wagons 💪
Very close to 1 million subs!! 😘👍🏻
What just kick your feet under the boot and it opens?!?! Do love the boot accessories! should make some on my old Volvo!
