Volvo XC60 2024
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The Volvo XC60 Ultimate B5 Bright is a fine example of a family car that actually caters to families. There are plenty of practical features inside to help everyday living and it has a good amount of occupant and boot space for the class. I like how it handles on the road and its running costs are reasonable for a luxury SUV. It's not as flashy as its rivals but it's still stylish.

The Volvo XC60 SUV competes with similar models like the Ford Everest, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Land Cruiser Prado in the Under $80k category category.
The 2024 Volvo XC60 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Volvo XC60 2024 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Volvo XC60 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
I am considering both Volvo XC60 B5 Inscription or Lexus NX300h F-Sport. I am wondering which is more reliable and suitable for long-term value?
Although both these cars are similar in many ways, there’s one area where they take difference philosophies. And that’s in the way their hybrid systems are configured and prioritised.
While the Lexus is more of a conventional hybrid with the electric motor doing a lot of the heavy lifting, the Volvo is what’s called a mild hybrid., As the name suggests, that means the electric power is limited to a 10kW boost when taking off or when the driver requires maximum acceleration.
A mild hybrid layout does still operate the stop-start function and can harvest energy when slowing down, so it’s still a worthwhile slice of tech, but it won’t affect fuel consumption as much as the Lexus’ full hybrid system.
Reliability is a bit of an unknown with any new car, but it’s fair to say that the Lexus’ reputation will count for something come trade-in time. Not to mention that, as the more hybrid-focussed of the pair, the Lexus might also be a little more future-proof.

Where is the Volvo XC60 made?
Australian delivered Volvo XC60s built between 2009 (when the vehicle was launched here) and 2017 were built at Volvo’s plant in Ghent, Belgium. For the current-model XC60 (launched in 2017) production moved to the Gothenburg plant in Sweden.

Volvo XC60 2019: Why do I already need new brakes?
This is a pretty common complaint from owners of a lot of European makes and models. To maximise braking performance, a lot of manufacturers (including Volvo) use a relatively hard brake pad and a relatively soft brake rotor. With the result that by the time the brake pads are worn enough to be replaced, so too are the rotors (discs).
However, the general expectation is that a vehicle should be capable of covering about 60,000km before this work needs to be done, so the 30,000km on your car suggests the brakes work harder than perhaps you think they do.
As for the price, I’d assume that to be using genuine Volvo parts. Shopping around and using aftermarket replacement parts could almost halve that quote.

Volvo XC60 2024 Interior
The interior style of the XC60 can be summed up in two words - understated elegance.
The cabin isn't as flashy or wowing as some of its rivals and that might be because it lacks the visual impact of customisable ambient lighting, or because the chunkier dashboard looks more solid and dependable than sleek and fancy.
There is a plethora of soft-touchpoints throughout the car and visual highlights like chrome accents and a solid steering wheel. And although the dashboard is robust looking, it features beautiful-looking technology to complement the overall look.
Volvo XC60 2024 Colours
The XC60 only has one included paintwork option – ‘Black Stone’, all others are at-cost options.
There are a total of nine colours to choose from - ‘Black Stone’, ‘Onyx Black’, ‘Denim Blue’, ‘Fusion Red’, ‘Thunder Grey’, ‘Platinum Grey’, ‘Silver Dawn’, ‘Bright Dusk’ and, ‘Crystal White’.
- Black Stone
- Onyx Black
