Potential new XC60 owner
Hi all
I have never owned a Volvo before but I am due a change and the XC60 or V60 has caught my eye. I'd be looking at new or nearly new, is there anything I should be aware of? IIRC the XC60 has been around for a while now, is there a facelift planned in the near future? Also, I couldn't see a relevant area to post similar questions about the V60, should I use > 11? Thanks |

I'm very happy with mine. Comfortable, quiet and enough space for 5 if needed. I went for the Momentum Pro T5 to keep under the £40k RRP

Thanks for the reply, I currently have an A4 Avant 2016 but the new facelifts coming soon aren't doing it for me, hence the move.
I'm going to pop down to my local Volvo dealership on the weekend to take a look at the different versions they have, the website provides very little info on what you actually get with each. I saw a review on youtube that the auto engine is rather laggy, have you found that? Although there are those on the Audi forums who complain about lag but mine doesn't have that problem and if I want more performance, just shift the gear in to S and it goes well. Does the V60 have anything similar? |

Personally I wasn't keen on the previous V60.

True, me either, it's more of a relaxed pace but I do like to tease the idiots in the wrong lanes trying to get the jump on you lol.
Are there any 'must buy' options? For me on my previous A4 I went for the virtual cockpit (Audi speak for digital dash), tech pack (keyless entry, wireless phone charging pad, bigger screen), Bose sound (standard sound was awful) but also wanted the fancy matrix headlights even though I hardly drive in the dark, even in winter |

I think it comes down to the individual, but my must-haves were Xenium (for the sunroof) and Intellisafe Pro (for the Pilot Assist). I also went for the Winter Pack (for the heated steering wheel) and the Harman Kardon (for Apple Car Play and marginal extra cost for upgraded sound), but I could probably live without those.

For me it would be the 360 degree camera, which gives you a view as if from a drone above the car. It is really helpful when parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces.
Its better value when purchased as part of the Xenium Pack.
