What We Dislike
You can feel the heft of the car on the move
At $210,000 (as of 29 August 2019), it's a tad pricey

Review
Are you getting as sick and tired of SUV/Crossovers as I am? Driving a Vezel for 3 years and the common sight of SUV/Crossovers definitely lead me to a sense of SUV fatigue.

Volvo have definitely stepped up their game from their previous era. Their new launches have caught my attention several times (XC40 & V60). Went ahead with a Volvo V60, T4 Momentum and been enjoying the ride for a couple of months now.

The sharpness of the exterior design of the V60 makes it arguably the best looking of it's class. In certain angles, it does looks like a limousine with it's extended long roof profile. A head turner!

The interior is very well appointed with high-quality materials. A certain sense of class can be felt from it's non cluttering Scandinavian design approach. The seats are very comfortable which is expected from a Volvo.

The ride is comfortably relaxing with its well insulated cabin. The engine does it work very nicely if you allow it does the work by its own. Engine is responsive and powerful to overtake. However, stepping on the gas might sound a little unrefined.

If you are looking for a Non SUV car without sacrificing the boot space and a really comfortable and a sense of luxury ride. This might be your best choice. And of course, Volvo for its safety badge. A safer ride for my new member to the family.

What I like
Beautifully Designed Wagon
Ride Comfort
Spacious Boot Space
High-Quality Interior Materials
Non-Cluttering Design
Not common on roads, compared to SUVs and Sedans

What I do not like
Better Specs for Entry Level Momentum for Its Price Point
More Refinement on Engine when Gas
Fingerprint Magnet on Piano Black Surfaces

Review
Car looks very good. Step up from the V60 i have now. Combination of enough power with good finishing. The service was less than acceptable though. Volvo is making absolutely no effort to improve brand loyalty. My existing 4 year V60 gets only 5k above paper. Horrible

Also unless you get a very good deal, beware of reliability issues. My current V60 started having problems right after the 3 year warranty. In the last few months i have spend approx 10k on repairs. Stay aware unless you have deep pockets

What I like
Thor hammer
Power
luxurious interor
Solid and heavy
Number 1 safety

What I do not like
Poor reliability record
Horrible resale value
3 year warranty
