R-Design D4 AWD 5d
Volvo XC60 (2023) review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Although a comfortable stylish looking car, far to many design flaws are apparent particularly in the google system that seems to control everything. I've had problems with the DAB radio which are still ongoing, the speed limit indication system which again still doesn't work and unfortunately can control the speed limiter so that is rendered useless, extremely excessive tyre noise, and an automatic parking brake that is very temperamental. Why it doesn't have an automatic air conditioning fan speed is beyond me, when I've had cars 5-6 year older and lower specification that have this function. The car is comfortable to drive, but having to constantly take your eyes off the road to fiddle with the google system controls is in my opinion, quite dangerous.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The new Google system is terrible, lots of functions don't work of display incorrect information despite several upgrades. No word yet on when these will be rectified
