From Busy Families to Traveling Artists, Here’s Why Everyone Will Love the New Volvo XC60

Big-ticket purchases—like buying a new car—can seem daunting to even the most shopping savvy among us. With so many on the market to choose from, and the ever-expanding state-of-the-art technology and safety features coming to the forefront, how do you choose which is best for you? Well, hear us out: If safety, comfort and luxury are priorities, then the new 2025 Volvo XC60 might just be the vehicle for you. We wanted to see it in action, which is why we tapped three influencers, including busy families and traveling artists, to test-drive the hybrid (both mild and plug-in) car for themselves. Want to learn more about this revolutionary SUV from Volvo? Check out their reviews below.

Jeff Kim (@thecrunchbros), dad of two, took his kids out for a special day, letting them choose where their adventures would lead with a cute game of “rock, paper, scissors.” The day, however, would’ve been incomplete without the mild hybrid Volvo XC60, which Jeff said gave him “peace of mind” with its revolutionary safety features while driving his kids around. For example, the Volvo XC60 boasts ISOFIX anchors that anchor car seats down, making them easier to install and help keep the car seats secure—helping their special day go off without a hitch.

Artist Lisa Asano (@speckledbrownie) knows just how important it is to have a reliable car that can get you from point A to point B—but she loves that the Volvo XC60 is so much more than that. This plug-in hybrid is great for extended trips as well as day-to-day driving, she said, since you can switch from electric to gas when longer range is needed—making it ideal for an artist on the go who needs some time to think and find inspiration without worry. Watch her video above to see what we mean.

When it comes to holiday road trips, Taylor Phillips (@taylorjphillips) knows a thing or two. With his family (including a furry friend), luggage and gifts to account for, it’s of the utmost importance Taylor has a comfortable and roomy car that he feels safe in for long rides between NYC, New Jersey and Long Island to see family members. Luckily, with its generous cargo space and available Pilot Assist, the Volvo XC60 is the perfect car for the job. And it just so happens to have a handful of luxury add-ons (like an in-cabin air purifier and heads-up display) that Taylor loves. At the end of the day, he got his adorable family to all their holiday destinations both safely and in style.
