Volvo XC60 Video Reviews

The 2022 Volvo XC60 range has arrived in Australia, with the mainstream models adopting mild-hybrid technology under the bonnet, while inside the car there's a new Google infotainment system. Are the changes all good? Or is there room for improvement with this rival to the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC?

To quote Ben Stiller in Zoolander, this car is really, really good looking.This is the first Volvo I’ve test driven and I was pleasantly surprised by all it had to offer. I was in the Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar which is at the top of the range with a hybrid engine, so it immediately feels modern and ahead of the competition which doesn't offer electric/hybrid models. It costs $99,990 before extras and on road costs and competes with cars like the Audi SQ5 and BMW X3. Here’s how it did with my family for this week’s family review. 

The top of the Volvo XC60 range is a plug-in hybrid – not a token variant, not a half-hearted attempt to be seen to be doing the right thing. Nope, the top-grade XC60 is the twin engine, R-Design T8.
