XC60 B5 owners — anyone else notice jerkiness when stop-start restarts the engine?

Hey all, I have a 2025 XC60 B5 Plus with about 5K miles. I’ve had the car for almost a year with no issues, but over the past month or two I started noticing a jerkiness or lumpiness when the auto stop-start restarts the engine — for example when pulling away from a stop sign after the engine has shut off. Almost like too much power being delivered abruptly on the restart. I’m based in the US.

I took it to the dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I then tried disabling the auto stop-start and the jerkiness went away completely. I’m on software version 5.1.17 which allows you to disable stop-start, and that has resolved the issue for me. Keeping it disabled for now and waiting on the upcoming software update to see if that addresses it permanently.

Anyone else experiencing something similar? Curious if this is a known issue with the stop-start/Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system.

Got Gemini on my XC60, early impressions are pretty good

So my screen popped up saying I was ready to switch from Google Assistant to Gemini. Checked settings and yep, it’s there. I’m on software version 5.05, ’25 XC60.

Switched it over and so far it feels like a solid upgrade. It understands more natural phrasing instead of needing those rigid robotic commands, and the responses actually feel smarter, like it’s helping you get stuff done instead of just doing basic actions.

Anyone else seeing this yet? Curious if it’s tied to 5.05 specifically or rolling out wider. Will update after I use it more but liking it so far.

Saw another black XC60 in the parking lot and had to do it

Spotted this older gen XC60 (T6) outside the grocery store and obviously had to pull in next to it. Black on black, two generations of the same car. We are not the same… but also we kind of are.

Has anyone noticed their Google Assistant not working the same as of late? For example I used to say “Hey Google, navigate to Costco near me”. And it responds “I’m sorry I don’t understand”. It used to work perfectly, but this past week it’s like it’s forgot how to process this command. Anyone else notice this?
