2018-2020 Volvo XC60 T5 or T6 owners: Why should I BUY/NOT BUY this vehicle?

For those who purchased the XC60 T5 or T6 (years 2018-2020): Would love to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly, especially about your experiences beyond the first 30,000 miles. Thought starters: reliability, warranties purchased and if it was worth it, major repairs to expect, infotainment/Google, safety, how long you kept the vehicle, resale, etc. I am considering buying one within the next couple months.

And be honest - would I be a fool to buy a luxury car like this? Is this vehicle really meant to be a leased vehicle (like BMWs)?

Background: My super reliable 2005 Toyota Camry is sadly on her last legs. I am between 2 vehicles, 1 of them is a Volvo: Volvo XC60 (T5 or T6, 2018-2020), and Mazda CX-5, 2022 Signature-Turbo (new). I value reliability, safety, and a comfortable ride in my vehicle. I live in MN, just outside the Twin Cities, and drive ~5000 miles/year; I always have snow tires for winter, and I baby my vehicles. I will also run them into the ground before considering a new one (no leases for me). Grew up in a Toyota/Lexus family, but they don't make the quality vehicles like they used to....hence, seeking greener pastures. Purchase budget is max. $45,500 (extended warranties excluded). Got quoted on a 2018 Volvo XC60 T6 w/25,000 miles for $42,000, extended warranty is ~$4000 for 5yr/100,000 miles "bumper to bumper" from a used imported cars/sports cars dealership.
