38,000 for an R Design?? I just got a quote for 41,000 but that's with the platinum package and some other features...part of a sale Volvo's running in Germany. Where did you get yours?
First of all I'm far from a Volvo fan boy. Fact is I don't really like much about them. However, contrary to this review I understand that Volvo has some of the best safety technology out there. I also understand that Volvo is second to none as far as seat comfort. This review leaves me a little bit confused.
The cheapest I could build one for was $48,425, and it had nothing except what comes standard on the cheapest version (x5 xdrive35i). So you're comparing a base model X5 with a top of the line XC60 R-design loaded with features? My point is unless you order your own, good luck finding a not loaded X5 with zero features beyond standard. AFter adding leather, nav, convenience pack., heated seats, power tailgate, sat radio, running boards like xc60, it was just under $56K with less of everything.
I love BMW, I have a 135i myself.....but you're dilusional if you think you can get a new X5 stock for $49,000...let alone with any features. I've been compairing the XC60, X3, Q5 and the Volvo is the least expensive with the most features, biggest engine, and best fuel consumption. You obviously have never really looked at any of these vehicles....go get back in your 88 Corolla!
After owning a lot of Volvo`s from 145`s, 240`s , 745, and 850 Turbo. Having owning this exact model I would have to say the countless issues that I have had with this model far exceed the proceeding 13 volvo`s that were in older at the time of ownership from their respected production year. This made in China POS is just that. Yes it does have speed and comfort but the reliability is not even a fraction of the Old Volvo era. Buyer beware.
+Larry Bartlett Don't be ridiculous. A diesel makes high torque but low hp and 0-60 times are almost always much higher than the gas versions. This is FAST.
One of the safest cars on the road. That's what you pay for. Keep your family safe.
"a little more storage space"? It's best in class, professor.
Low storage space and uncomfortable front seats? Are you sure you were in the Volvo?
Maybe the reviewer confused himself sitting in a Q5 rather than in a XC60 that keep confusing everyone in the final part of his video 😉😉
We just got a 2013 xc60 r deign platinum factory new today 😀
Are these US or Canadian prices given this is a Canadian video?
Finally a new review! I emailed you guys and u never responded. I asked if u could do a review on the 2013 toyota venza
Great review! Can you do a review on Kia Cee'd? It's only in Europe

+Larry Bartlett I was thinking the same about seats comfort. Everybody else praises them.

I don't mean to nit pik or anything, but at 1:29 I think I heard "more sportier"? Need i say more?

"Sport bumps" on the steering wheel lol. They are bolsters
I dont like how they took the mirrors from S-line audi's
"More Sportier" lol. Otherwise great review and a cool car.
325 hp. is immense? I would like to see it up against my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI. I bet I could take it.
+Larry Bartlett Don't be ridiculous. A diesel makes high torque but low hp and 0-60 times are almost always much higher than the gas versions. This is FAST.
I'll take that bet!
I wouldn't give this thing a second look if I saw one....
"more sportier"...."more sportier"....
Fail... This is a 2012 not a 2013
