508 hp, 0-60 in 3.6 and top speed of 186+mph. It is absolutely insane!
Damn, them sweds have gone crazy! Fantastic car
@itsTiLER It does have them actually, but they are integrated into the headlamp cluster.
I just got one and it is awesome!
Already out! Gorgeous.
Volvo never ceases to amaze me!
Yeah, I saw them in person.. they look much better in person for sure.
Sure he did. The "intelligent" key is awesome. I can open the door without the key and start the car. You can hit a button and it tells you if the doors were locked or left open....pretty cool to me.
City safety, Pr-collision, Blind-spot monitoring...etc. is by no means a replacement for common sense when driving. It's nice to know in an emergency that car would attempt to stop if you can't, but as a driver, you should still be responsible for the control of your vehicle.
I am looking a a used S60R (the previous body style). I have always hated the boxy (MOM) look of Volvo's but after about 2004 I LOVE them :)
I just can't see this being better than it's competition.
City Safety helps prevent low-speed collisions with vehicles, not objects. He'd have needed the Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake option. (and even then, it's mainly designed to prevent collisions with vehicles and pedestrians)
Not sure what the issue with Volvo's intelligent key is- you keep it in your pocket and you can unlock/lock/start the car without pulling it out, identical to everyone else's integration.
I am pretty sure it's just cars in S60R. I just got one and you have to buy the Technology Package with pedestrian detection. "City Safety" is standard though.
My friend had a XC60, and tried to show me the "city safety" feature and drove it into a tree...lol I absolutely HATE the intelligent key (or whatever it's called).
What a great car...
Which gives you how much HP? The concept S60 Polestar has 508 HP, 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 186+
I just got one. It is Polestar tuned.
It has Active Bending Lights......and the Bi-Xenons are awesome. I just bought one and the ABL's are awesome. I had an older model with fog lights and the S60R's lights are 10X better.
I just can't wait for the 508 HP, 0-60 in 3.6 sec, +186 mph, E-LSD equipped S60 Polestar!!!!!!!!
Go and spread the word Volvo fans!!!
@stevehammes - hi Steve! great review of the Volvo S60. I am a big fan of this car. I'd like to ask a question if possible. I noticed that the speedo and rpm dials feature numbers made of some sort of shiny metal. and while they might look good from some angles, it seems like they might be difficult to read in poor light conditions, say afternoon while driving trough a forest road. is that the case? thank you.
What is bad about it? I like it. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key in your pocket, and of course start the car. You click one button and it shows if it is locked or open. I test drove other cars before I bought mine like Lexus, Audi, and Acura......there wasn't a huge difference.
@DevPack yea but no matter how fast it it may be its still a camry
@tcbecht88
Whoops! Does your friend still have that XC60? If not, what vehicle does your friend have now?
Yes!
@camaroman101 im not talking about the camry i just made a reference there to speed. You can buy a mustang GT for 35 grand which is 10x more fun and exciting than the volvo.
Oh, also, for potential owners of the S60 R-Design say hello to its new 13.2 inch front rotors! .9 inches bigger than the old ones to make sure you stop better and in time!
volvo has always had awesome brakes...
I have a 2015, and it has paddles!
@DevPack and camrys aren't?
hey steve can you do a review of the 2012 vw golf r
Hey City Safety is not build for trees but for PEOPLE AND CARS !!! * ;) And The key is very nice and if you have the Keyless entry option !! Even more nice !! :) I Have an XC60 with both things and its fantastic !!
That's a Great Looking car. BTW Steve, I'm looking into Buying the Mazda 3 Hatchback with the New Skyactiv engine. Would you recommend it?
Techdude6693 no .. their shit cars I had one.
Does this car have cooled seats?
@stevehammes wow the kia optima sx fully loaded has heated driver, passenger, and rear seats and it also has cooled driver and passenger seat. and it is alot cheaper
They are only owned by the Chinese. Still as Swedish as always.
The Pegasus!
Hey my fork doesn't work, I tried to weld the other day with it and it didn't work.
Sound stupid? so does tcbecht88's comment, good job putting them in line lol.
can somebody tell me what the big deal is with paddle shifters on cars, why do auto reviewers whine when a sports car doesn't have them?
I disagree....just got one and the wheels are awesome!
"Ultimate S60? " Wait for the Polestar!
no foglights? in a car that nice?
@boobs2323 yes it is it says in the video
Guys, you should all go out and test drive the S60 and stop acting like it's comparable to some other cars like a Mustang. That makes NO sense. It's a totally different car with a completely different function. It's not designed that those kinds of drivers. [face_plain]
@skoshy Same here.
MY FAVORATE CAR..IN THE WORLD.......THIS CAR IS FOR OUR ""LIIIFFFFEEE""""....SAFTEY CAAAAAR
@skoshy Right back at u!
@tcbecht88 I guess he must not have known that in the XC60 CitySafety only works on cars.... (-_-) In the S60 however, it works on cars and people and children.
sorry... but is this AWD car?
That was stupid of him. The tree is too thin to be detected by City Safety, anyway. The new systems would be able to detect it.
Kyle saab but older lol?
@tcbecht88 Your friend aparently doesnt know how the system works because city safety is to prevent a crash under 20 mph and to minimize the crash after 20 mph the system is designed to detect CARS not TREES since your not gona find a tree in the middle of the street when driving, then the system was not built to detect trees but just cars , ive tested the system and it honestly works flawlesly , sorry to hear about your friends XC60 lol
How is this worth 10k more than a Infiniti G37x ?
my father got this car in black
my father vgot this beautiful car
not worth 46 grand. There are better options for that price limit. A Toyota Camry v6 can hit 60 in 5.5 secs.
the best car and its the safer than other fucking cars...volvo for life
@neptoon08 you cannot compare a kia optima to a Volvo S60 T6 R-Design , when you drive the Volvo and drive the Kia the answer of why will become obvious , the Kia is a veryy nice car i love the looks of it , but thats just about it , the car is disconected from the road , suspension is soft , and it torque steers like a pig since its FWD and some materials feel very cheap since it is a cheap car so they r two very diff cars in diff leagues.
Sorry, I meant 354 torque...still a lot, lol.
Idk this or a Ford SHO
As soon as he said chinese.. I was like.. "Fuck that"
The wheels suck.. bring back the previous-gen R-designs wheels, please!
I like the feature of the intelligent key, but the way volvo designed theirs is aweful. And yes....he did. Palm tree to be exact. He was drunk. lol
Gives me a bias because its now Chinese owned.
@neptoon08 Negative.
I like Justin Bieber too
This car does 0-60 in 5.2 sec easy ! Either this guy doesn’t know how to launch or probably run it on 87 octane.
Yeah. Really hard to launch this car SMH.
@tcbecht88 That is hilarious!
new body, old interior (to me)
@camaroman101 dude volvos are plain and boring.
