- Polestar Engineered vehicles come with some fun go-fast bits, and James gets the chance to experience everything the brand has to offer in the 2024 Volvo V60 Recharge Polestar Engineered.
Head on over to James' TH-cam Channel @technicallycars and subscribe to support him! Unique videos of all the cars he features here on TestDrive can be found over on Technically Cars.
James spends a week with the 2024 Volvo V60 Recharge Polestar Engineered, the only way you can get a PHEV version of the V60 in Canada for 2024. This vehicle comes with a turbocharged 2.0L engine to power the front wheels along with an electric drive motor to power the rear wheels. Good for about 64km of EV range, this station wagon has a lot to offer buyers and is the ultimate sleeper.
James goes in depth with the specs, features, and tech found on this V60. He then hits the road to talk about the drive, ride, performance, and everything else buyers would be interested in knowing if they were in the market for a wagon such as this.

Thanks for the review. I have this exact car on order for Overseas Delivery - Picking up in Gothenburg, Sweden 8-22. Can Not Wait!
Awesome experience, hope you have a blast picking it up!
I am considering the Gothenburg delivery as well. Were you able to negotiate on the price? Also, how much time does it take from order until pick up?
@@kentvonseverin1257 They take 5% off MSRP with no negotiation. We were in no rush, so we booked several months in advance, but I believe they require the $3K deposit at least 3 months in advance.
You can get so many groceries so quick!
Absolutely! Plus this colour is really sharp! I'm jealous James got to drive such an awesome configuration on this one.
Man the new V60 looks so good, I wish North America had more options for wagons the practicality is much better than an SUV in my opinion.
We agree, it’s unfortunately not a good market for them which is why almost all of them are gone from here. We’ve had the pleasure of featuring a few over the years and always enjoy the practicality.
@@PRNTestDrive I just wish Volvo would've either went the full hybrid route or go electric, PHEV's are a bit confusing to use imo, otherwise it's a great car and it's sad there aren't many road going wagons in the US anymore.
Fair enough! They're rolling out more electrics, their goal is to offer some level of hybridization by next year across all models.
The BMW G99 is coming to USA 😁 and that’s a big wagon.
I live in Rhode Island and recently got a V60 PE identical to the one he’s reviewing and love it. I 100% agree it’s disappointing auto makers have abandoned wagons as I dislike the top heavy feeling and poor handling of SUVs.
I definitely get the impression that you like the car! /s Smart aleck comment aside, great review. No doubt it's an awesome vehicle -- sleek, powerful, eye-catching -- but at around $80k it's out of reach for many of us. Still, it's nice to see how the other half lives.
It certainly is pricey, but it's also unique in the market as BMW and Mercedes no longer offer wagons in Canada, and their mid-performance models aren't electrified.
Oh man, I’m debating between the new M5 wagon and the new V60 Polestar. At the same time I want the uhmp factor and practicality at the same time. I’m sure the V60 PS has what I’m looking for.
Volvo has always made sharp looking wagons. This is one of the last new ones available in the Canadian market unfortunately.
Any comments on the sound system?
It's the best in the industry
When in pure EV mode does the heat come on without the engine having to start up?
It's supposed to.
@@PRNTestDrive It didn't.
@@horsepowerandtalk1033 Pretty sure it does...
It sure does in mine
@6:32, its because of the battery pack
Yup that's true. We've discussed that previously on other S/V60s Nile's featured.
How much can it tow?
Seems like 2,000 lbs is the max towing capabilities for the V60, but I'd confirm with the manufacturer based on the specific build you go with.
48 vikings...
I know I am showing my age with this comment but....I felt like I was watching a review done by Duckie from Pretty In Pink.
I get the reference, I just hope it's a compliment?
@@PRNTestDrive Absolutely, he was one of my fave movie characters back in the day.
Dude forgot to say polstar engineering
To be fair Volvo doesn't make it easy with all their lingo. Polestar is a brand, but Polestar Engineered is a tune for Volvo cars, and you can buy Polestar Engineered tunes for non Polestar Engineered vehicles, making them Polestar Tuned but not necessarily Engineered. Also Recharge is both a full EV and a PHEV.
You must have tiny short arms.....
