Spicy Volvo? New 2010 Volvo XC60 Tested

[WeepBeforeYouSleep]

sexy car.. i want to shove my dick in its silencer n fuck it

[RomaniaMoldova]

@WeepBeforeYouSleep ahhaah wtf

[Annihilator1111]

the 2008-present Volvo XC60 is assembled in

Ghent, Belgium

[TheParis9453]

no its not smaller than an audi q5 its kind of bigger

[Fussinated]

An over priced piece of crap.

[GamerHeavy]

@Fussinated is your car

[Fussinated]

@GamerHeavy Nope. My car is decently priced, has been chosen once year of the car in the US, does everything which this piece of shit does, if not better, receives top rating from consumer reports. It also has the gighest safety rating from IIHS (Volvo's are known for their safety).

However, This car being an over priced piece of shit has nothing to do what my car is. This car is a crap period. Over priced period. If you like crap fo buy one.

[Fussinated]

@Tautomerization12 in my opinion you are a racist bigot who can't digest that there are better Japanese cars around than European or American cars. My guess is you can't digest the idea that white race is not superior to others.

[LondonDreads]

Hands down, safest vehicle in America right now. Only the 2011 model though, as the safety features were updated to include pedestrian detection.

[Tautomerization12]

Just bought one and absolutely love it! Best looking crossover on the road inside and out. If you are thinking of purchasing a crossover I highly suggest test driving the XC60 last. Certainly the most solid car I have ever owned. Volvo hit the nail on the head with this car in every way…. Go Volvo!

[ilili2003ilili]

the consept insides are alot better

[Fussinated]

Subaru Outback H6 kicks this fakely luxurious Volvo's ass anytime, anywhere, anyway.

[blastwind]

Indeed a very good car. If you wanna see a real incident, search on youtube Valentin Ionut Panea or hit  /watch?v=EAMfsppnET8

[MrLowAltitude]

I can't believe you americans are calling this a small car...

[Major9999]

How is does the Volvo XC60 drive in the winter??

[wellerocks]

@Major9999 It's built for Swedish conditions. Combining front wheel drive, state of the art anti spin technology and ABS brakes together with Volvo's long life of safety and technology, I'd say the XC60 absolutely is one of the best and safest car's you could possibly drive in winter terrain. I just recently got to start my XC60 in -27°C and it still worked like a charm. Took minutes before the heat got warm again. And the day after I put the pre-heater on which made it warm before I started it

[ChillBuddha]

Guy on my street has one in a beautiful snow white. Looks so good, especially during the night, with the shape of its lights and its silhouette... Best Crossover available right now

[thorleif91]

Fin Bil :) !!!

[LoveTheCity123]

This is my dream car. I would honestly rather get this car than any Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Bugatti.

[MrLowAltitude]

@LoveTheCity123 My parents got one a few weeks ago, it's a T5 AWD R-Design. It drives like a dream, it's faster than my old Audi (Sadly...) and it looks so sexy! Man, I love to drive it now that we have snow here in switzerland... :P

[PlzDuntBanMe]

@LoveTheCity123 But I thought you were rich? Your family has 328's, 528's, 2 740's, an R8, and 2 multimillion dollar yachts? How can you not afford this piece of shit car?

Oh right, because you're fucking lying. Im stalking your comments for like an hour and all you say is lie about the car you have in the videos.

Lol get raped nigger.

[EnvyHK]

@PlzDuntBanMe

ouch haha. you just embarassed the crap out of him haha. i hate liars. he should watch the movie gullivers travel and actually learn the consequences of lying.

[brucec43]

I had a 3 day test drive of this vehicle. It is superb. Other than numb steering feel it is close to a BMW X5 in handling and is a little smoother. The 300hp/325 lb ft turbo on the 2011 models is super smooth and one of the best engines I've driven (owned bmw and infinitis). It is packed with features and better looks in top R design trim. The downside is that it is mid 40's in price and resale on Volvos has been horrible. Seats are a little narrow for me, but V comfortable for most.

[wellerocks]

My dad was one of the project leading engineers working on this beautiful and sexy car. I have one of these awesome T6 AWD R-Designs back home and it's truly an amazing car! It behaves like a small sedan, It looks so sexy and it still feels like a luxury Mercedes inside. Volvo for life!

[MrLowAltitude]

@wellerocks My parents got one (T5 AWD R-Design) too and I love to drive it! Congratulations to your dad, whatever he has contributed on the development of this car, he made great!

Sadly it's even faster than my old Audi, damnit... :P

[LoveTheCity123]

@MrLowAltitude Yeah I bet ... You live in LaLa land ..

[MrLowAltitude]

@LoveTheCity123 Yup! With lots of deep snow to fool around with 4x4 cars =)

[wellerocks]

@MrLowAltitude Thanks man! It sure is a fantastic car. I don't even know why people would go for the BMW X5 when this baby is on the market

[jollybossvf84]

It´s My Dream !

[kthankxbye]

@jollybossvf84 god what a lame dream.

[jo05dk]

...and noone thought it was a good idea to show how much room here is in the backseat? Fail.

Love the look of it, like that it seems like a proper car, not only a proper SUV.

[AndyV8maniac]

Oh finally, a good looking volvo!!! This one just looks awesome!!!

[shwmehvn]

I like they way they describe the cars..."despite its size it's still SOMEWHAT useful" Are you kidding me? Somewhat?

[JayJay88338]

I had a played at the GPS when I test drove the XC60 and it works well very acurate. The control on the column is very easy for the drive plus there is a remote control for the passengers to navigate too. Don't know why they said it's hard to use!!! Also the boot is the roomiest out of the Q5, X3 & X1, back seat space is more than adequate. Road feedback with new power steering will be even better. Go check it out for yourself.

[JayJay88338]

MY11 model does not have the front driving lights. I was told that Volvo changed the power steering system and was not able to fit the lights due to the limited space left in the front. Does anyone out there know the reasons cause I am looking to buy one.

[wazonu]

i want one....

[VolvoofOrangeCounty]

We have the best deals on XC60's ever. With an extra 20 now in stock and priced to move quick.

[ejuoi]

Who has the GPS navigation? It looks like it's a 2001 model. Does it work well or opt out?

[AdrianC12345]

Now that T6 engine has 300 hp and 325 pounds feet of torque!!! So that 0-60 time is about 6.9 or 7.0 seconds.

[OneOfaKind949]

I'd rather buy an Infiniti EX37... 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds. You get a lot more bang for your money. Infiniti has better technology, reliability and a sportier drive. With that said, Infiniti's come from the same car company that makes the mighty GTR.

[AdrianC12345]

@OneOfaKind949 The Infinity has less trunk space, not as safe, and uses cheaper materials.

[brucec43]

@OneOfaKind949 Unfortunately the ex has a pretty small cargo area and not much rear seat room. Not really any bigger than the sedan. Otherwise nice.

[andrewdishman26]

I would,nt call it small suv. I've seen them and they no smaller than the older xc90, and they didn't consider that small. It's gotta be bigger that a rave 4.

[AdrianC12345]

@andrewdishman26 No, the XC90 is still in production and it is only slighty bigger than a Rav4. The XC90 could squeze in 7 passangers, this can only carry 5.

[geko7844]

Stupid but... My fav. car!!

[AdrianC12345]

God, I hate how he keeps comparing this to the GLK, in everycomparison between the two the Mercedes comes LAST!!!!! Does this guy know what he's talking about?

[quatlen]

I don't know why people think small means UNluxurious.

[MySikRX8]

@quatlen i agree!! i have a Volvo C30, its mid range (so not the T5) but its far more luxurious than anything in its class, namely VW Golf, Mini Cooper or the cars with which it shares its platform, the Ford Focus XR5 (aka ST) or Mazda3 MPS (aka Mazdaspeed3)

[SF49ersfanatic]

will sign tomorrow to get an XC60 175hp 2.4D

Made a test and it looks great : good motor sound but not too loud, very nice exterior and interior design, very good seating, no wind noise at 180 kph (115 mph)

One slight problem : the suspension isn't firm enough on turns

[jubilantlady]

@SF49ersfanatic did you get it? I am just curious how it is going because I am seriously considering getting one!

[SF49ersfanatic]

@jubilantlady yep got it 4 weeks ago and its GREAT i love it, beautiful car (black sapphire color) although another slight disadvantage is the lack of seat holding, it's just too soft lateraly

And i took the high performance sound plus the subwoofer : WOOOOOOOOOOOOW great sound, i wonder what it sounds like with premium sound

[jubilantlady]

@SF49ersfanatic thanks for your review. i am worried about the seats. I need good seats...but I guess you could be built with a diff sensitivity than me. I hope the seats dont turn me off...because I want to be comfortable driving for long distances. How far of a drive have you taken it so far? Sorry for the questions...

[SF49ersfanatic]

@jubilantlady Your questions are welcomed ! Buying a car is an important decision ! i drove for 1100km that is about 700 miles ; the problem of the seats is when you drive sporty in curves so don't worry for long distance freeway driving, it should be very nice as the base of the seats aren't as hard as in the S40. Four years ago that was one big fact that made me choose a car other than the S40. I'll be off for two weeks and driving 1500 miles round trip to France so don't mind asking again

[fivelevymaster]

just got mine today

merry xmas!!!!

[maigeri32]

Want one........why is it that all beutiful things are expensiv?

[bigbzon]

I'll take the XC60 over any of the others.

[GoogleSays]

@bigbzon if i had to choose a Q5 or This , i would take audi lol

[Tautomerization12]

@bigbzon I agree

[tomhuu2]

isnt' this thing much bigger than the GLK and Q5?

[xwishuweremex]

not by a lot, but yes it is, indeed, bigger. height is where it has more on the others, if you ask me. it surprised me that he said this is shorter than the q5. the cargo room appears to be much larger in the XC60...

[PriceFTW]

Brian Moody is so legit.

[TheVtieg6]

Personally i think its silly to buy that petrol with a 200bhp diesel as an option.

[quatlen]

Really annoying "safe" navigation

[wpgheldar]

No Thanks.

I've got 3 (winter,summer and parts car) 89 760 Turbo Wagons that are not Fords or "fiords". All for the price of $4,000 5 years ago. These 20 year old Swedish tanks are just now showing tiny specs of rust.

With paint jobs and new overhauls I did on both, I bet they will outlast the XC60's in another 20 years.

Why would I want this when the 760 wagons have more cargo space than the Jeep cherokee. They are the Anti-SUV's and proud of them.

[4MATICbenz]

This is the most un-Volvo-like Volvo ive ever seen. This car actually isnt boring!

[4MATICbenz]

I got thumbs down for making a COMPLIMENT on this car??

hey, Volvo's for the most part are not fun or exciting cars in any way. That's just a fact of life, this Volvo XC60 (and the C30) are both exceptions for that fact.

[xalexsnappa]

yes yes, xc90 4.4 V8, s60 R or T5, all soo boooring

[Fr33sTyL3rR]

cool my dad has this car

[hondacrvman]

Ew i saw some chick driving it in beverly hills LIke she wanted to race me in my rangerover...

[theguy459]

ha! well she would have draged you off in it if she had the t6, that is of course it you don't have the supercharged v8 range rover sport. Although they both have the same 0 to 60mph time (post 2010 range rover sport supercharged).

[KnoxKnowsBest]

gay men will love it!!!!!!

[oskeisa]

how do you know? I'm sure you speak from personal experience.

[oskeisa]

You know you have problems when you evaluate your own jokes with such confidence. I suggest you get your eyes checked. Plus gay guys like flashy cars.

[oskeisa]

you called it ugly. ugly and flashy don't work together.

if you had called it beautiful I would agree that gay men would love it,

just like they love convertible MBs.

[jaffacake1578]

haha lol

[USGiorgi]

ohh are you jealous that you can't afford it??? so sad. Maybe you can earn a few bucks by being a male stripper for men. You know you want to you faggot.

[vhghe]

Even if he is gay, whats wrong with being gay!!!!!!!!!! just watch the damn video and stop trolling!!!!!!!!! No one cares what you have to say at all. And it's funny that your calling him gay but you made one of your favorite vids a Babara Walters interview of lady gaga.

[oskeisa]

are you fucking stupid? i didnt call anyone gay and i didnt say anything about gay ppl apart from the fact that they've got style. Reading comprehension, friend, is a useful thing in this life.

[vhghe]

What about the line:

"How do you know, i bet you speak from personal experience"

[fp3shb]

So sexyyyyy.

[imking7]

people would want a small car because of the gas they dont give a shit if its a smart car or escalade they care about the gas

[Wormtail81]

What about safety?

[theguy459]

The volvo xc60 is really the safest car on the road today and crash tests prove it, in ANCAP (australian version of NCAP) the xc60 scored 36.53 out of 37 which is the highest result recorded so far. This is in comparision to the 2008 mercedes ml which scored 33.97 out of 37, the land rover freelander 2 which got 34.84 out of 37, saab 95 32.56 - 37. Compare it to any other car on ANCAP and the volvo xc60 always comes out on top for crash test results.

[Wormtail81]

Thanks for the follow-up. That is very interesting. However, when it comes to really small cars, you cannot escape physics. Just look at what happened to the Fit, Yaris, and SMART recently in offset crash simulations.

[candlize01]

Wormtail, as mentoned in the video, the XC60 is roughly the size of the current Toyota RAV4. It is nowhere near the size of a Fit, Yaris or SMART car. While described as small, it's still much larger than many vehicles on the road... sure, you can't argue with physics, but unless you're running head on into an 18-wheeler, you'll be extremely safe in this vehicle.

[Wormtail81]

Touche. But that is close to the smallest vehicle I would feel completely comfortable in.

[AccidentallyFunny]

@Wormtail81 Volvo claims the XC60 is it's safest car made to date. I'm not quoting them word by word as I don't remember, but nonetheless it was a tall claim to make. I also also note this car may not be large, but it certainly is not small. And it's on the heavy side so you've got a lot of car goin for ya. I wouldn't think twice before getting in this and taking a long trip somewhere.

[Wormtail81]

You've convinced me.

[vhghe]

But you like Ferraris though. That makes no sense man.

[Wormtail81]

There's a difference between the fantasy of an aspirational vehicle and the utilitarian considerations of a more practical, and realistic one. (Even if I become wealthy, I will never actually purchase a Ferrari. I am as much a fan of the racing team, which is the company's true purpose.) Ferrari's are measured by their track performance as much as real-world performance.

[vhghe]

Yeah, good point actually. i want a Volvo or Nissan Murano because of their sheer practicality, And if I was rich I'd get a porsche or something because of astounding performance. Not a Ferrari though, I like their cars in different racing series more than road going ones too. By the way, you sound pretty smart, haha.

[ss19800]

Who cares about the gas buying a $50,000 car?

[candlize01]

A $50,000 car? Not quite. The Volvo XC60 starts at $37,000 with the T6 AWD, and $33,245 for the 3.2 FWD model being introduced next year. That figure is a bit off. Also, so many people lease luxury cars these days to take advantage of lower payments that even if it costs $50,000, what you pay at the pump still matters. This car's biggest pluses are its handling and safety features, but I stress again -- it's not really that small. Maybe by American standards, but have you seen one on the road?

[vhghe]

They're $50,000 with all of the available option on the t6 all wheel drive.

[ventureandcivic]

this small suv is incredible, love it

[jfghjfkfjk]

noone needs this huge car.

[ss19800]

I need it and I'm getting it.

[jfghjfkfjk]

big shot.

[vhghe]

What if you have to carry lots of stuff around in it? They're not even huge though.

[jfghjfkfjk]

yes, but that is an exception.

[quadraticdude]

wow aren't you mistaken

[caraddict520]

i love volvos

[ss19800]

Totally!

[audigiovanni]

i don't like SUVs, but they are looking better now than a few years earlier...

[rickylayal]

looks great!!

[c3vzn]

review the q5 too

[fastbackery]

Don't they have anyone more attractive to present these things? Someone with tits?

[boutdempapers]

hmmm like ur dad maybe?

[carsaregood911]

Someone attractive? Why don't you just watch a porno if that's what you care about.

[NFM3]

Yeah, they have that on the net alright - it's just not about cars though. Maybe you stumbled on the wrong vid?

[r1swedie]

In Sweden all we get IS diesel. There is no petrol option. Weird.

[bg1379]

That's probably because they are the most economical option, and people are probably more economically-sensible over there. Can't forget that diesel is often much more expensive here, too. Also, Volvo's in America are considered quite luxurious, nearly all being equipped with leather, etc. As I understand it, European Volvos can be relatively frugal as well.

[ipbalkenende]

@bg

European Volvo's are not frugal, in fact they are exactly the same. They also fall into the same segment, not quite BMW or Audi but probably a bit above Volkswagen.

[bg1379]

Actually, specific example from the UK, Volvos have significantly less "kit" than their US counterparts. Having just skimmed the surface, I've found a lack of:

Std 8 speaker sound

Hill Descent Control

Bluetooth

Autodimming rearview mirror

Automatic transmission (1300P for automatic)

T6 engine (obviously, though the diesel is a much lower 2.4L)

Power seats

Panoramic sunroof

. . . . . . . see below

[bg1379]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

. . . .Tire Pressure Monitor

Rear Center Armrest

USB+iPod connection

*Volvo is not alone, though, as nearly all luxury vehicles in Europe come with less standard features than their American counterparts. This is the case with Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, etc, etc. This is probably due to the fact that we, as Americans, need to SEE what we are paying for, and do not often take into account solely build quality. This is not a fault, just an observation.

[bg1379]

^^^^^^^^^ And I sure can't forget leather!

[jex9]

Volvo makes bland vehicles.

[mrjost55]

looks great

[Z3RO0RD1E]

It looks more European than any other Volvo XC series.

[lesmcluffalot]

I think it looks great. I would be interested in one. In my city we have no BMW or Audi dealer. Just Mercedes and Volvo for luxury brands. That Slalom speed is faster than the BMW 550i in the video they posted before this one.

[AntoDamico]

UGLY

[CJKoda]

whoa

it looks kind of like a kia

[tgseason12]

This looks way better than Lexus's RX and Infiniti's FX.

[ubuibiok]

Nice body, why not a Diesel , 6 speed, 2 wheel drive ?

[geokilla007]

Because USA doesn't like diesels.

I think us Canadians have a change of getting the 2.5T/T5 engine, as well as a diesel model...the C30 up here does start off with the 2.4L producing 168HP

[ubuibiok]

thx....Canada to Florida is a good brake in distance

[quatlen]

*(just an opinion)*

1st- audi Q5

2cd-volvo xc60/ Lexus rx- coudn't decied :(

3rd- Mercedes-benz glk (cannot be identified as a mercedes :( looks like a subaru forester )

4th- infiniti fx

5th-lincoln mkx

6th-Acura rdx

[stevestutz]

looks just like every other crossover...ok maybe it's a little better looking....maybe...

[aallppiinnee]

It should be able to handle the curves at the Starbucks drive-thru quite well.

[jubilantlady]

@aallppiinnee excellent comment!!! LOL!!!

[legendray2008]

Volvos always make me feel lazy when I see one on the street,  but the new ones are not !!

[CSFREAK21]

the look of the q5<3

[lorenzom9]

it is alright

[cowtrap]

the front looks like the jaguar xf :)

[yhyoon12]

Nice

[ironchopsticks]

i really like all your insightful comments.

[yhyoon12]

Haha I know right?

I really like all your sarcastic comments too =)
