2018 Volvo XC60 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

MARJ on January 21, 2024

I BOUGHT MY 2018 XC 60 NEW. AT 70,000 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR 70,000 MILE WORKUP. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS SHEARING AWAY FROM THE BLOCK. I WAS TOLD THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON FOR THESE CARS. THEN. THE REAR O2 SENSOR FAILED. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BATTERIES AS WELL(NOT UNEXPECTED, THE BATTERIES WERE 5 YEARS OLD) AND WERE 800.00 FOR BOTH. 5,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 75,000 MILES.

I LOVE this car. Love it. The pickup is amazing and the car is extremely comfortable. Bonus points for a great stereo system! It’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned (I’m 54). Five +++ stars!

I have owned the 2018 XC60 T8 Inscription for 3 years now. The vehicle was brand new and now has over 110k miles on it. Here is the breakdown of my rating: Performance - The T8 has incredible acceleration and handling, but the braking is a bit touchy. Easy to get used to, but easy to trigger some of the active safety features the first time you hit the brakes. Not a quick as a Tesla, but a 5.3s 0-60mph is impressive in a 4-cyl SUV. Styling - I absolutely love the sleek, minimalist styling Volvo is known for, and the XC60 fits that to a T. Clean lines, and incredibly comfortable. But they can keep the crystal shifter… Reliability - I have had -0- mechanical or performance issues, and only had to replace wear items. I docked it one star because of a glitch in the infotainment system that decided to max out the gain on the microphone right next to a speaker and send a shrill 90dB screech into the cabin… once the software was flashed the problem went away - only happened once and was a free repair (well out of warranty). I am definitely going to be a Volvo owner for life and am looking forward to taking advantage of the overseas delivery program with my next Volvo purchase.

This SUV has everything I want. First and foremost, the R-design line of Volvos is the next best thing under getting a Polestar. I’ve used every of the drive modes, and they all have unique and distinct driving advantages based on your environments and requirements. The Bowers and Wilkins audio upgrade is state of the art. The on screen technology is easy, user friendly, touch activated, and beautiful. The navigation has an onscreen draw/write function that is useful and unique. The wrap-around design of the cockpit is not only comfortable and intuitive, but also inspires a sense of control and safety. The R-Design 21-inch rims are an unmatched styling accent amongst the XC60’s competitors. If I had to have a complaint it would only be a couple things: rear seats don’t recline and there is no ambient lighting other than the cool LEDs which are just fine for me. This car/crossover in my humble opinion is as close to perfect as I could want. I highly recommend any Volvo but for a midsize cross over the XC60 T6 R-Design is my recommendation.

Understated elegance, good mileage, great comfort. Good user interface compared to Lexus or BMW.Around town and highway trips are a pleasure.. Great in the winter

It has tons of features and I feel extremely safe when driving it. I was surprised to see all the new features when upgrading from my last car. The technology is a bit of getting used to however I can tell it will be great once I understand it all.

I have owned the 2018 model volvo XC 60 for 1yr 6 months. I love this car, it it comfortable, reliable with great styling. However it has 3 major problems. 1. The inboard computer is slow. It takes time to boot up and to respond to you. They should put more ram memory or put in faster processor. 2. When you put it in reverse, the mirrors point downwards to allow you to see where you are reversing, but when you shift to drive, the mirrors take their time to go back to original position. Sometimes the mirror dont go back to their original position and you have to adjust the mirrors. This is hazardous as you cannot use your mirrors to determine if it is safe to pull out. 3. After 18 months of use, the battery in the key fob needed to be replaced. Changing the battery is not easy. Whoever designed it did a poor job of it. There are 2 plastic tab locks that need to be fiddled with while sliding the side off. Way too many steps. I had to go to dealer to have them change it for me. I am pretty handy replacing parts, but a simple change of battery took me 5 hours to accomplish. This was evening after watching a ytube video on changing battery. Very annoying and waste of time. Why can they not put a simple screw to secure the fob instead of numerous manipulation. Overall I love the car and hope they fix the above problems.

This suv has the perfect amount of room for what I need. I haul a wheelchair that fits perfectly in the cargo space. The technology features are great.

It’s only been a week for us but it is just what we were looking for! We were looking for the safety features combined with the comfort, handling and ride all wrapped up in a sporty look and we found it!

I bought this car in May 2018. Just a year later, the click sound appeared on the driver's side, from below to the brake and near the steering wheel. The Volvo car service has been repaired many times and has not been repaired. I contacted Volvo USA customer care. But they never answered me. This sound is not loud, but very distracting the driver. I don't recommend this car.
