Volvo XC60

The current-generation Volvo XC60 (2018–present, including 2019–2025 model years) has an occasional 'hiccup' in its eight-speed automatic transmission. This manifests as intermittent abrupt or delayed shifting, which is a drivability annoyance rather than a safety failure. A test drive and review of service history are recommended to check for this behavior, but no repair cost estimate is available.
