r/VolvoXC60

I have a 2022 XC60 Recharge and am still running the "old" software version prior to the redesign. The reason I did this was because I loved the full screen look of carplay and google maps and didnt want a giant google assistant that I dont use taking up a quarter of the screen.

My question is this: has Volvo made any changes yet to disable the gigantic google assistant from being on the screen 24/7, and if not is there going to be a point where I will be forced to update my software? Yes, the version I am on his a big buggy rn, but I still love the look much more than the updated version. Thanks!

I just got the Proclip "Right Console Mount for Volvo S60, V60, XC60" ($38.25 on sale) mount for our 2018 XC60, and it is awesome. It takes longer to screw the phone mount onto the car-specific mount than it does to install the car mount, and it fits just perfect. I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 with the magnetic Qi2 charging, so I got the "MagicMount 25W Charge Pro Wireless Phone Holder" ($60 on sale), and it works just great. The magnet is the perfect strength to hold the phone in any situation and still allow me to easily remove it. I didn't want to spend $100 on a phone mount, but it fits like a glove, works perfectly, and should last the life of the car.

I'm not affiliated with Proclip in any way. I'm just very impressed with their product.

Hello

I'm thinking about switching my rav 4 2017 to a xc60 plug in hybrid. My rav has 9 years 107k miles. No issues other than normal oil change or break change etc. How reliable are these cars?

What is the expected maintenance?

I will be buying certified pre-owned instead of new.

Ideally I will keep this car for 10 years and about 100k miles. I understand that standard maintenance will be more expensive due it being a European car but outside standard maintenance and normal wear and tear of the car what a looking to spend here?

I'm based in the west coast USA.

My 2018 T6 Inscription is getting low MPG and has been since purchasing (used) two months ago. I’m averaging 15.7 MPG, driving in Comfort (mostly highways, not an aggressive driver). Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, what was your fix?

Asking here before taking it to a mechanic and spending an arm and a leg for diagnostics.

Hi I'm looking to purchase:

2026 XC60 T8 Ultra
500 miles
43months of original warranty + CPO 1 year

Original MSRP 76k

The vehicle price is $59,000 (no add ons)

This seems like a good deal am I missing anything?
Anything particular to inspect on these vehicles that might have known early failures?

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.

I'm in the market for an XC60, but I cannot reliably home charge I'm a renter in an old building, the only accessible outdoor plug is in the carport that my downstairs neighbor uses. Charging from public charge points in the area works out to be slightly more expensive per mile than gas, about 1c more expensive.

However the PHEV has significantly more horsepower than the mild hybrid, and I've read it's more fun to drive.

So: does anyone have the PHEV and not home charge? Or should I just get the mild hybrid.

Reposting from the Volvo subreddit:

Doing some research on a midsized SUV. Looked at the GLC, but a bit too flashy for me.

Test drove the 2026 XC60 and loved the ride and the design.

Would love to hear from current XC60 owners the good, bad and the ugly.

Also, keep hearing the maintenance costs are high. For some reason I thought MB would be more expensive to maintain. Wrong assumption?

2026 XC60 B5 Ultra. High speeds 75mph+ there’s a droning sound that sounds like it could be engine noise. Although letting off the gas or switching gears in manual mode doesn’t reduce the sound so I can’t confidently say 100% its engine noise. I have the 21” wheels but it doesn’t sound like tire noise.

I’m coming from a S90 with T6 engine that did not have this kind of noise at the same speeds.

Does anyone else experience this? Are these B5 engines just unrefined and noisy and high speeds? Or could there be something wrong with my vehicle? I’m kind of disappointed this expensive car sounds like an ecoshitbox on the highway. Not something I could have caught on the test drive.

Need advice on upgrade the beloved XC40 love the car but feel like I want something with a bit more power and AWD

I have a 22 XC60 that I really enjoy. Comfortable. Great gas mileage. Easy to drive. But the infotainment system is shit. Ever since the last software update I’ve had to reset the system at least twice a week. It will be fine for days then go completely silent. No sound out of anything, not even turn signals. I love this car but this may drive me to another brand. Is there a fix?
