@@AAhmad3449 Thanks for the answer. In Australia, we have XC40, XC60 and S60, all from China. XC90 and all wagons are from Europe. We don't have S90 anymore.
To change drive mode AND skip drilling down thru the Google menus, try saying HEY GOOGLE & CHANGE TO PURE DRIVE MODE. This should work. Volvo looks at everything thru safety lens, and wants you to keep eyes on road. Maybe that's why after you used menus while driving, you were locked out of changing drive mode while driving at highway speed. PS pls include conversion of Canadian prices to US dollar prices. Thanks
Sounds good. The problem with converting to and from Cdn-USD is that many times the trims are different between the 2 counties so might not be completely accurate.
My first such tax related comment, but why does noone ever talk about how in Canada you have to spend another 12-13% in taxes! So, this $90k PHEV with all these options is all of a sudden over $100k! It's as if we don't need to pay that. Very, very misleading to use only net, pre-tax amounts! (Alberta only 5%.)
Hi Brain my Dad got a Volvo XC90 but on his Volvo XC90 my dad doesn't need to have a Google account you need to tell your car who's car this is and you can add a profile saying your name or your partner name but you don't need to have a Google account for your car
2022 XC60. I do have a Google account, so I could easily use it. BUT there is no need to. When you first get the car, the dealer will set it up for "Owner", and you never need to log into Google. Also: Most older drivers wont bother with the Hybrid / pure / power modes - just let the car figure it out - it is amazingly clever! VERY simple to use. Press the button, "Navigate to XYZ", and off you go!
The instrument panel lacks many things and needs: a full-time odometer; a full-time tachometer (even when in hybrid mode); a full-time regen-o-meter (showing amount of regen from brakes/coasting even when in Power or AWD modes); the ability to show date and time; the ability to show 12-volt-battery level, engine/coolant-temperature, and tire pressure in psi; and more options for the driver to shift things around (including showing some of these readings when the map is not displayed). Volvo fails in its mantra as a safety-oriented company here: (1) not having buttons/dials for audio and climate and drive mode -- two things accessed frequently by the driver in which the driver should not have to take his/her eyes off the road for long to fumble with frustrating sub-menus in an infotainment screen to change; (2) not having a spare wheel/tire; (3) not offering an all-metal roof; (4) not offering 18-inch wheels; (5) not having the ability to start and end phone calls from a button/dial on the steering wheel, and not being able to sift through a list of contacts on the instrument panel (you have to either go to your phone or, worse yet, the infotainment screen, to do these things regarding phone calls); and (6) not offering an infrared camera to better see people and animals at night and to see through dense fog (daytime or nighttime). Volvo should know why each of these five features involves safety in a big way, and their omission creates failing grades on all counts for Volvo. Yes, I own a 2022 XC60 T8 ER, so I know. My 2018 Panamera, 2019 Macan, and our 2021 RAV4 Prime has all of these options between them (and all three have most of these features individually), by the way, for much lower MSRP in the latter two cases -- so I really feel the lack of these important things in my 2022 XC60.
In my 2022 SC60: Buttons for Radio, audio, and climate. Just press the voice command and ask for "Drivers temp set to 21". Same for the radio etc. No need to look anywhere other than at the road. End phone calls - just press the "OK" button on the right side of the steering wheel. That cancels the call. Starting a phone call - use the Google voice command interface.
A lot of whining over a bunch of nits. Who is going to look at all that stuff while driving? Some people can't resist trying to make themselves look smart, and the result is the opposite.
Great to see Cynthia!
And a rear wiper - can you believe it?!
Did you try talking to “hey google” for things such as drive modes instead of using the menus?
Hi Brian, you had high praise on X3 PHRV as well. If you have to pick between X3 and XC60, which one would you go with?
I’d go with the Volvo for the longer range however it’s more money and I prefer the BMW infotainment.
You would plug this in overnight. So 6 hrs is not an issue. In most cases u not driving 60km in a day. For me I can drive 2 or three days on a charge.
We want a V60 recharge, but it’s unobtainium. Can’t even put a deposit yet, but the regular petrol engine is available. Doesn’t make much sense… :(
🔝🔝🔝
Is the Northern American version of XC60 made in Sweden or China?
The ones for the US market at built in torslanda sweden, xc90 sweden and s60 South Carolina, the xc40 built in Ghent Belgium.. and the s90 China

Wtf does that have to do with this video?

Everyone has to pay taxes and it varies where you live
@@EverydayReviews2022, it does vary, but the car is never just a $90k car (or SUV in this case). This is easily a $100k car for most people.

The XC90 didn't get the Google based infotainment until model year 2023. So most likely your dad's XC90 has the older Sensus infotainment.
