r/VolvoXC60

I am looking at XC60 with black edition and deciding to get air suspension or not .

Does anyone has air suspension on their XC60 and found it helpful to smooth out rides on bad roads . Also guessing that I need to get extended Warrenty as it could be expensive maintenance item .

Getting close to my purchase decision and am leaning towards the 2026 PHEV XC60 in the Ultra trim. Coming from a 2013 S60 that I still love, so it’s a lot of change to a bigger vehicle and much different experience with driver environment controls.

I am not impressed with the tablet dash design and am doing a 24 hour test drive over the weekend to see if it’s better than I’m thinking. I’m also looking at the BMW X3 M Class, but really want a PHEV (plus, I have a lot of Volvo loyalty). I’m not ready to make the jump to full electric, but would like to dip my toe in!

Curious to hear from folks that own one of these what your experience has been so far - what do you like, what’s bugging you. Or those that evaluated and went a different direction.

Thanks!

I have a 2025 xc60 and wanting to find out if anyone received the new Gemini update yet, it’s been two weeks since the announcement.

Anyone have experience with the XC60 Black Edition Vapour Grey? I love the exterior and have 3 teenagers so appreciate the dark interior from a maintenance standpoint but I like the lighter Volvo interiors (blond) - wondering about your experience with the full charcoal interior

Need to charge up my 2018 T6’s AC and wondering if this is something I can do at home? Anyone have any experience doing so? Tips? TIA

I’m trying to figure out if this is just perception or reality or what. I bought a 25 B5 Ultra a few months ago and I can’t shake the feeling that I’m in an extremely small vehicle. I bump my head almost every time I get in or out and I’m not a tall person at all. In the driver’s seat my knees hit the door and the center column and my head feels like it’s about an inch from the inner roof. Almost no drinking vessel I own fits into the small cup holders.
Whenever I end up next to what I think is another XC60 in traffic it turns out to be a 40 - I truly see no size difference. When I’m by an actual older model XC60, it feels like an entire size larger vehicle.

I love this thing but I increasingly can’t help but feel like I’m in something the size of a subcompact car, like it’s a slightly raised Honda Civic. Is it just me?

We’re looking at getting an XC60 MHEV B5 Ultra/Ultimate model. It’s about £6k difference and 10k mileage difference between similar models. Is the £6k worth it for the slight body change and the better screen?

Hi there,

I took one for a test drive today (Australia if that matters) and generally I liked it coming from an S60 (dogs forcing the change). There were a couple of strange little glitches and I'm curious to know if others have seen the same. It was just delivered in country....

1. Bluetooth didn't connect, in fact doesn't even seem to turn on, until the engine is running

2. when adjusting seat settings, the screen icons for the different seat settings do nothing, only changing the setting though the physical seat setting works, eg changing from lumbar support to side boosters.

I know they're small but just really odd.

And I know this is hersey but I really wasn't impressed with the Bowers over the Harmon sound system. It was better but not astoundingly better.

Thanks

What type of oil do you guys use or recommend? I see online it needs 0w-20 but I think the car has been using 5w-30 because of previous owners receipts.

Hi all, hoping someone can help, I’ve owned myxc60 for just under 1 year now, but I have a “serious fault” showing on the display when I switch engine on. With the error message book a service. The vehicle has only done around 4000 miles, so service is not due on the display there is a small orange dot appearing on the center of the vehicle! Also I can receive incoming calls to me vehicle but when I press the voice icon on the steering wheel to make a call nothing happens! Can anyone give me an idea of what’s going on with either issue? Thanks.

Joy.

Dash comes on but engine won’t. Remote start works (turns the engine on), but it doesn’t let the key “take over” (not sure what the terminology is) - it just asks me to turn the knob.

Jump starting didn’t work.

Suggestions welcome whilst I try to get someone useful on the phone. Stay tuned!

Edit/Update - key fob in the spot by armrest didn’t solve either

Update 2: ignition turns on with the key but engine won’t start. Cursory AI search suggests the auxiliary battery might be the issue..?

Update 3: called someone out and no issue with either battery. No faults found with diagnostic checks. He’s a bit stumped but mentioned a possible immobiliser fault?
Anyway, it’ll be recovered to Volvo and that’ll burn a nice big hole in my pocket.

I'm in the early stages of talking to a company that makes similar electronic clutches to the ones that are used in the superchargers on the t6 motors. I'm making this post to gauge how much early support I would have in this endeavor. If I could just get a ✋ from interested people, I would appreciate it! I expect some sort of initial minimum order quantity which I may need to crowdsource. Buddy of mine has already done a makeshift rebuild by getting a local brake parts shop to make a new disc of friction material. We successfully replaced the bearings in his drive unit and reinstalled with untouched rotar assembly. Ideally I'm looking to have a full gear/clutch side available

Hi there! I’m new to this community. I’ve had my XC 60 plug-in hybrid for just a week. Currently we’re charging it with a 110 outlet in the garage and it usually charged by the time I need it in the am. We had an electrician come out to give us an estimate on putting in a 220 outlet and because of where the circuit breaker box is in relation to the garage, the installation price is going to be quite high. I’m wondering if it’s worth it? Is there any valid reason I should switch to the 220 other than faster charge times?
The electrician also recommended putting a surge protector on the circuit breaker box to protect the car from being hit by a surge? Has anyone else done this? It seems like a good idea.

I recently decided to change up my car, and found a 2022 CPO XC60 R-Design for a pretty good deal, along with my trade that made it worth pulling the trigger on. It’s got the climate and advanced packages added, and I’ve purchased extended warranty on top of the 1 year CPO warranty we get (Canada) and the next two services just so I’m at a peace of mind for the next couple years. The car was a lease and drove just under 15K a year so felt like a solid buy. The dealer is also putting in a good amount of work to sort out some cosmetic issues.

As a new owner, what are some things to kinda look out for, or just help me get the most out of the car? Always been a Volvo fan, so hoping the ownership goes well!

I'm thinking of buying a XC60. I know they come with Google Maps baked in but I often use other apps such as Waze and TomTom via Android Auto. My question is, these apps are usually designed for landscape orientation on car infotainment screens, do they display OK on Volvo's portrait screens?
