Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:56Pricing starts around $60,000; Brownlee explains the trims and his roughly $70,000 test car.
- 4:02The front trunk lacks an interior screen release, prompting Brownlee to ask owners whether they use theirs.
- 6:05The minimalist cabin removes physical vent dials and pairs an oval steering wheel with a crystal volume slider.
- 8:41A central cubby replaces the traditional glovebox, alongside a tiered console and retractable cup holders.
- 10:48The Android Automotive screen controls roof shading and mirror adjustments, but Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not available yet.
- 14:58Highway driving covers acceleration, suspension stiffness, one-pedal driving, turning radius and cabin insulation.
The Volvo EX60 has a crystal volume slider, but no physical vent dials. That contrast runs through Marques Brownlee's Auto Focus review: a carefully furnished cabin that still asks its driver to do plenty through a screen.
Brownlee comes away approving of Volvo's electric SUV after driving it for more than a week. "Volvo was cooking," he says. His tested version costs around $70,000, putting the small everyday decisions about controls and storage inside a substantial purchase.
There is no power button: you get in and put your foot on the brake. A central cubby replaces the traditional glovebox, while retractable cup holders and a tiered console provide other places to stash things. The center display handles functions including mirror adjustments and shading for the glass roof. But despite its Android Automotive software, Brownlee notes that neither Android Auto nor Apple CarPlay is available yet.
The storage tour produces a particularly practical conversation beneath the video. Viewers nominate purses, totes and camera bags for the space beneath the console. When Brownlee asks whether electric-car owners actually use their front trunks, owners answer with groceries, charging cables and restaurant takeout kept outside the passenger cabin to contain the smell.
The highway section comes late in the review, covering acceleration, suspension settings, one-pedal driving, turning radius and sound insulation. Brownlee's final assessment praises Volvo's EV execution, without letting the sleek interior pass without questions about how it works day to day.

Model Y owner here, I use my frunk always when I go to pickup food from a restaurant, mostly to keep the smell from going inside the car.
@bytemark6508See it on YouTubeMarques, that spot in the middle console is for a purse, tote or a camera bag. It will not fall over when cornering.

I use the front trunk to store power cables, but rarely open it.
@zollotechSee it on YouTube"Why would I put anything there?" UMBRELLA. Perfect spot for it.
@llaughridgeSee it on YouTubeThat under the console space is for drummers to put their stick bag.🙌
@JskinsSee it on YouTubeFord F-150 Lightning owner checking in. We use the front trunk all the time! It’s one of the best parts of the vehicle!
@TristanPTSee it on YouTubeI use the front trunk every day, Rivian R1S. Whether storing laptop, picking up food from restaurant (keeping food smells out of cabin), or picking up groceries, the front trunk is now a must-have for me.
