"safety systems, adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, sreering"
Odell O., AB (2018 Volvo XC60)"Good acceleration"
Anonymous, MO (2018 Volvo XC60)"Very quick to respond to touching the gas pedal. Gives the driver confidence when needing to merge into heavy traffic."
Michael C., MD (2018 Volvo XC60)"this car has amazing acceleration"
Charles W., CT (2018 Volvo XC60)"Fast acceleration, Smooth ride, holds the road, keeps me in line with gentle steering wheel nudge, slows me down between car distance with cruise control, love the Sport mode on highways."
Lynne B., NJ (2018 Volvo XC60)"Very reliable performance especially entering freeway traffic."
Anonymous, CO (2018 Volvo XC60)"excellent handling & conrol"
Anonymous, NJ (2018 Volvo XC60)"great seats, high quality, best looking mid size suv, great acceleration, good room in back seat"
Daryl C., BC (2018 Volvo XC60)"This car is smooth as silk. As a PHEV it runs entirely on electricity for my local driving. Absolutely silent. It's quick and quiet off the light, and when it needs ooph the ICE kicks in. Shows of massive HP and Torque when needed on the highway."
Robert B., CA (2018 Volvo XC60)"It feels very safe and allows me a great measure of control."
Rene D., MD (2018 Volvo XC60)"The engine is powerful and the handling is very good for this type of vehicle."
Anonymous, MB (2018 Volvo XC60)"Auesume acceleration for a four cylinder"
Anonymous, NY (2018 Volvo XC60)"For a 4 cylinder engine, the car accelerates well when needed and feels like you are driving a larger engine."
Anonymous, FL (2018 Volvo XC60)"Acceleration and handling are very good. The auto pilot works very well especially in heavy traffic."
Howard B., NY (2018 Volvo XC60)"With both supercharging and turbocharging, plus electric, this car is a screamer, and it handles the road like glue."
Glenwood P., NJ (2018 Volvo XC60)"Good acceleration, but engine is hesitant on hard acceleration and steering is vague."
Joseph M., WA (2018 Volvo XC60)"XC60 handles extremely well. Both in city and highway driving it’s a very comfortable drive and responsive. The pilot assist and adaptive cruise control are extremely value added features but the process to turn them on could be more intuitive."
Anonymous, NJ (2018 Volvo XC60)"Love it - handles well and accelerates asily"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Volvo XC60)"The acceleration is incredibly fast! I hate the sound of the engine- it sounds weak and too small for an suv. I think Volvo should at least pipe in better engine sounds. The pilot assist is mostly good but it hugs the line way closer than is comfortable so I’m constantly trying to edge it toward the center of the lane. Pilot assist also isn’t great in stop and go traffic."
Rob S., OR (2018 Volvo XC60)
"I have the T6 and while it doesn't sound good it's amazing torque from standstill gives it a electric car like feeling. Also the adaptive cruise and autonomous driving is better in my oppinion than my friends 1st Gen Tesla."
Cezar C., NY (2018 Volvo XC60)
