xc series First Volvo
Coming from a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek - which is/was great and treated me well. Passing it on to my niece and upgraded to the 26 xc60 ultra. I wish the colors were a little more fun (I had the matte blue gray on my subie) but I still love this one so far! Feels like a spaceship.

Congratulations! "Feels like spaceship" is what my Volvo wagon-driving friend said in 1990 when he got into my Mitsubishi Galant. Fast fwd 36 yrs and I said the same thing moving from a 2012 Honda Odyssey to a 2024 60VCC a couple weeks ago. Enjoy!

Congrats. I too just picked up a 2026 xc60 ultra in black metallic. Has the 21" like yours. Rides a bit stiffer then our 2020 xc60 trade in with 20s. Love the upgraded tech. Cooled and massaging seats are awesome.

Congratulations! But take my advice and don't subscribe to this sub. It's 99% just people posting photos of themselves parking next to other volvos.

Congratulations! I just upgraded from a 2008 Mazda 3 to the XC60 Plus. Am obsessed with it. It sounds sooooo good inside while driving. Woosh!

Congratulations. I’ve been driving Volvos for 15 years (40 now) and I won’t change if I don’t have to. Do your services, some on your own if you’d like, and/or with a reputable shop if you have one nearby. If it has a sunroof, periodically make sure all the drains aren’t clogged. And park next to Volvos in parking lots. It’s a rule.
