I like where Volvo is headed. They want to get away from gasoline and safety is always number 1. The S60 looks sick and I like how they adopted the colored seatbelts from their other line of boss wagons. I think it looks great. Quite honestly, the price point is fine. This is a vehicle I would love to own.
@@cargueone1971 decisions on product development, design and engineering are still done in Sweden by swedes. Factories in Sweden, China, Belgium and USA.
@@danishviking6254 Volvo is owned by the Chinese. When Ford owned it, there were tons of Ford engineering behind it. Now that Geely owns it, I can guarantee they have lot’s of input also. That is arrogant of you to assume that they are so insignificant, that they have zero input in engineering. To say they have no input is pretty racist. Also, most of the S90s we get in the United States are assembled in China. Are you saying that the Chinese have no input on how they are going to be built or how the factory will be built, and the vendors they buy from their surrounding area. This is almost 2021, For the Chinese to buy a Swedish company says more of how far they come.
I really hope you guys continue momentum and develop a full ‘Top Gear’ style show, you’re reviews are calibrated perfectly and between the NASCAR drive and now a future model review I think you’re set for stardom! I’ve been pondering the Audi allroad vs waiting for the V60 wagon for a while now and just made my mind up to visit a Volvo dealer. Genuine thank you for the assistance in making a decision.
You guys showing some love to Volvo. I really love what they've done with the 60 trim, and when my lease is up on the XC60 T8, I'll be switching to the V60 for sure.
StraightPipes congratulations for another great review. After more than 1 year of watching your videos you guys never disappoint and always keep surprising and improving your videos quality... Hands down for your effort and production quality 👏👐
The text on the brake of Polestar 1 looks better. Probably because there they only need to put “Polestar” instead of “Polestar Engineered”, which is shorter and looks much less awful. Then the designer just copied it.
Actually I think that the brake writings on the Polestar Engineered looks better « straight » than rotated. It’s part of their « angular » and minimalistic approach to design :)
I got my 2019 Volvo v60 T8 r-design 2 weeks ago. So happy with it! Drive fully electric to work and home, and sometimes just put it in power to drive like a maniac. The car audio is also fantastic! Make sure you dont use audio from the Iphone xs max however as android has much better bluetooth quality due to aptx. Had to use my older note 8 as a audio player for tidal. However its a fantastic car! Even in full electric mode it tows a trailer easily. I look forward to testing it on snowy roads in winter. Costs me around 29000 dollars over 3 years. Lease of course. Metallic silver r-design with tinted windows :D I actually bought this car after watching almost all of your videos. Needed to change my old car and I really loved the design of the 2019 v60.

You guys this was an awesome review you guys make this entertaining and informative this car is amazing from its unique design to its intelligent performance keep up the good work can’t wait for more videos
I got to drive one at work and it was awesome. It isn't something spectacular but it'll take on or compete with anyone on the freeway. I think it really shines in combining the sport with luxury. They're fun and fast but also look classy. The best thing hast to be the uniqueness since no once going to expect how fast it is and there isn't many cars that look like it.
Guys, Öhlins dampers is a Swedish company (and Öhlin is also a Swedish last name) :) But your efforts shall be rewarded! Oh and if your interested, the "V" in the wagon models stands for Vagn (like you said) which in turn is short fort Herrgårdsvagn, which is the older Swedish word for station wagon.
ZF don’t make an eight-speed auto for transversely-mounted engines. There’s a nine-speed, but it’s not great. Volvo uses Aisin gearboxes who supply Mazda and Toyota among others
This Aisin seems just as horrid as the ones in the s60 2012-2018 which was equally poor as the 6 speed in my old s80 V8 from 2007. HORRID transmissions in Volvos which simply ruins any and all Volvos if you are the type of person who actually enjoys driving, not simply riding along cruising. I had to floor it 2 seconds before expecting speed to build when overtaking people and now i'm on BMW's ZF 8 speed. By god, the difference. Angers me that Volvo can't either come up, or source, better drivetrain parts considering they want to go "premium" and I'm a Swede who's owned 4 Volvos, manual and auto alike. Both Diesels and Petrols. Good engines in the older cars. Horrible gearboxes. Even the manuals are hopeless flopping things. Reliable but awful feeling!
@@duffyt26 Would you rather have sporty with questionable reliability, or reliability with sporty intentions? History has taught us you can't have it both ways. My 2015 S60's transmission isn't the fastest, admittedly, but once it revs, it's every bit as quick as a 328i. I think part of it also comes down to the turbocharger. That said, do I wish the transmission were a little quicker? Yes, but I wouldn't give up the mechanical quality for it to do so.
Ditto this. Honda (as an example) struggles with 9-speed ZF transmissions in their Pilot and Odyssey models, with lots of customers complaining about reliability, maintenance costs, rough shifting, etc. Since I, alas, don't have infinite amounts of money and would rather not have to constantly pay to fix my car, I'll take reliability with sporty intentions.
Toni Radanov It’s Volvo’s job to specify the trans and do the transmission calibration. All Aisin does is build to that spec. That’s why Mazda’s six-speed Aisin gearbox is so good, because Mazda does a fantastic job of its calibration. Clearly Volvo wants smoothness over shift speed
Have you guys ever considered making your own buttons/stickers? You could bring them to your future car meets, and fans would have some cheap merch coming from you guys.
Hi guys. Great review, as usual! Quick info you might find interesting about the Bowers&Wilkins speakers: The yellow is not a "stylistic" addition. B&W driver cones are made with Kevlar, hence the bright yellow color. ;-)
Imagine Volvo instead of making all their cars 4 cylinders with turbos and super chargers and instead perfected 5 cylinders with turbos and kept manuals in their polestar edition. I know Volvo is going all luxury now but just think how beast of a car this would be with a 5 cylinder turbo with a manual transmission.
I grew up on Volvos, my friends dad owns a couple dealerships. My Dad had 3 850s. I had a ne 850 glt in highschool and an 850 turbo after. Great cars that survive the beating highschool kids can dish out.
I'm sooooo glad you guys finally did this car lol. Been drooling over the older v60 polestar for a while now. Not a fan of the interior (even though the seats are orgasmiclly comfortable) so been waiting for the 2019 2020 v60 engineered by polestar. Disappointed in the lack of pep if you will off the line but hopefully the handling makes up for it. Thanks fellas
I've been married to Volvo since my first model 240 in 1978. Since then, I've owned the 740, S-70, two older S-60's. Last week I found a 2020 S-60, T5, fully loaded, with only 3,108 miles. I'm thrilled with the car but the technology is presenting me with a very steep learning curve.
Volvo and Benz has got it going. The interior in the new Volvo's are insane with exterior design that matched. Transmission is weakest link and do wish they stick to supercharger only at least for the non polestar models.
Car looks great overall, except I would compress the 'E' design of the tailights a bit. The design would be more unified, especially with how aggressive the front end looks. As always, great job with the review guys!
Ok, I hate to be the mr Internet and do the nitpicking, but what does Germany got to do with Öhlins? It's a Swedish brand and for sure is not pronounced like UH-lins.
I've been watching your videos for a week or so now. I really enjoy them, very well done. I love the chemistry between you two, you play off each other perfectly. :)
It's funny many people don't know what a Polestar is and here is one right now. Polestar is a sporty Volvo now spun out into their own company. But underneath the Polestar styling from the 3 on, it's a sporty Volvo.
Unsure what year GS you're speaking to, but my last car was a 2013 Regal GS (got it certified with 6K on the odo)...drove it hard at times but not constantly. Turbo blew, headers, gaskets, alternator belt wore out 3x, headlight issues, brembo brake dust all over the 20" rims weekly. Overall for the price paid years ago ($32k) id have paid the same maintenance and repairs on a German. It was expensive no doubt.
They won't, I think the reason they only have these 4 cylinders are because they have been planning to go all electric/hybrid and I believe they plan to do that in 2019 or 2020. When they started with the new gen cars a couple of years back, they probably decided to not put too much R&D into new petrol/diesel engines because of that. As long as their electrical engines are powerful enough I think that's fair enough actually.
@@kratoswolf6523 in which EU country taxes are based on the amount of cylinders? In some countries taxes depend on engine displacement. Volvo will never again make any engine with more than 4 cylinders or 2.0L bc of fuel consumption, exhaust, weight, place under the hood, cost of production and service. This is a daily with over 400hp and 4 cylinders - You dont need more for a daily, and Volvo does not make supercars. In Europe today You can buy big wagon or SUV with 1.0T inline 3 engine. And ppl buy them.
Hey Jakub and Yuri! Love the stuff you're putting for us! What camera mounts do you use for the outside shots? I've almost broke my camera last weekend because of a weak mount. Thanks a lot!
I'm sorry but I have to tell you that you did not correctly pronounce "Öhlins" :-D Even if it was German, which it is not its Swedish, the pronunciation would have been wrong ^^ Still liked the video though :-D
Wow, super luxurious! Can't believe we had a straight pipes podcast earlier this morning on Matt's chanel, followed up by a straight pipes video. Sick!
I love my XC40! Loaded momentum black with red leather. It has the same tap shifter. I don't know why every reviewer shits on it (as did these guys for this car), but it's a great shifter, very easy to use and waaay better than pushing a button and clunking it front or back to shift.
@theStraightPipes: PDK is actually manufactured by ZF (Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen). Both the 7 Speed PDK (Macan, Cayman/Boxster and 911) and the 8 Speed PDK (Panamera) are made by ZF. Great show though 👍🏼
These new Volvos are amazing but they have become garage queens as of late if I'm not mistaken. Maintenance issues are going to cause monthly visits to dealerships so are these cars that great 8f they can't be kept on the road.
Try not to be afraid of new things. Got 3 hybrid Volvo in my company. 2 of them around 200kk, one 270kk. Each with no any additional service above factory intervals. But we do additional oil change between .
as soon as he said California doesnt have a lot of pot holes i paused the video and went strait to the comment section but found nothing :(... It does thou!
So I'm kinda obsessed with the colored seatbelts!!! That's a very nice and exquisite touch Volvo 🤩 now other manufacturers should start throwing some color in their interiors!
The speakers are “gold” because they’re made out of Kevlar. It’s a signature Bowers & Wilkins mobile audio thing, it’s on the BMWs, Jags, Volvos, and McLarens. The Kevlar is used because it’s extremely light and rigid, causing less distortion under load. But it’s also kinda a marketing thing.
Keep up the good work by the way guys. I didn’t find you until 2 weeks ago and haven’t missed anything since! Fiancé thinks you guys are hilarious too so you’re doing great!
It was so funny visiting Santa Monica because I literally knew where could find parking spots and how to find my way from the pier to the shopping street further up because of GTA 5.

V60 is cool but it's essentially a smaller V90… which they reviewed already.
Rotchild but it drives a whole lot sportier...
Your videos are very informative, along with amazing camera skills.
Ok, I hate to be the mr Internet and do the nitpicking, but what does Germany got to do with Öhlins? It's a Swedish brand and for sure is not pronounced like UH-lins.
I went to the Nurburgring and they pronounced it like how I said it. That's all
TheStraightPipes Ok, fair enough. Those sauerkraut-eating, weißbier-drinking, lederhose-wearing bastards have gotten it all wrong then :)
Closest sound of the letter ”Ö” in English would be ”ea” like in ”earn”
Cheers from Sveeeden.
Also if you can say earn you can say örn which is eagle. Everyone can into Swedish.
@@aleksanderszymanowski6631 Acutally Same as in Germany. Even if this company was German, they pronounced it wrong.
I've been watching your videos for a week or so now. I really enjoy them, very well done. I love the chemistry between you two, you play off each other perfectly. :)
Murdered out Volvo! Nice!!
It's funny many people don't know what a Polestar is and here is one right now. Polestar is a sporty Volvo now spun out into their own company. But underneath the Polestar styling from the 3 on, it's a sporty Volvo.
Awesome video! Do you think you can do a review of the Buick Regal or Regal GS sometime?
I absolutely agree!
Unsure what year GS you're speaking to, but my last car was a 2013 Regal GS (got it certified with 6K on the odo)...drove it hard at times but not constantly. Turbo blew, headers, gaskets, alternator belt wore out 3x, headlight issues, brembo brake dust all over the 20" rims weekly. Overall for the price paid years ago ($32k) id have paid the same maintenance and repairs on a German. It was expensive no doubt.
Love these volvos. We have two of them that we are modifying on our channel. Favorite car i owned by far.
Volvo needs to bring back the 5 cylinder engines
Agreed
They won't, I think the reason they only have these 4 cylinders are because they have been planning to go all electric/hybrid and I believe they plan to do that in 2019 or 2020. When they started with the new gen cars a couple of years back, they probably decided to not put too much R&D into new petrol/diesel engines because of that. As long as their electrical engines are powerful enough I think that's fair enough actually.
GTIGolf’18 they won't get 5 cylinders because europes tax prices are way too high for 5 cylinder cars
BRRA no, its because europes tax prices, a 5 cyl engine would make it ~10k more expensive here
@@kratoswolf6523 in which EU country taxes are based on the amount of cylinders?
In some countries taxes depend on engine displacement.
Volvo will never again make any engine with more than 4 cylinders or 2.0L bc of fuel consumption, exhaust, weight, place under the hood, cost of production and service.
This is a daily with over 400hp and 4 cylinders - You dont need more for a daily, and Volvo does not make supercars.
In Europe today You can buy big wagon or SUV with 1.0T inline 3 engine. And ppl buy them.
Beautiful car. My next car hopefully after I'm done building my current s60 on my channel.
Hey Jakub and Yuri! Love the stuff you're putting for us! What camera mounts do you use for the outside shots? I've almost broke my camera last weekend because of a weak mount. Thanks a lot!
Alexandru Buta secrets. Sorry
I understand :) Thanks for reply!
Modern Volvo’s are just so stunning, inside and out
I'm sorry but I have to tell you that you did not correctly pronounce "Öhlins" :-D Even if it was German, which it is not its Swedish, the pronunciation would have been wrong ^^
Still liked the video though :-D
I thought the same. Are u german?
Yes. German and living in Sweden ^^
Oops 😂
@@DasErdbeereis Ok da hätte ich bei deinem Namen auch so drauf kommen können
Yep. This so called "American" way is much less wrong. It's definitely not Ühlins :D
Wow, super luxurious!
Can't believe we had a straight pipes podcast earlier this morning on Matt's chanel, followed up by a straight pipes video. Sick!
The One Take screen, LMAO 🤣🤯🤣, I literally yelled with laughter. Didn’t see that coming lol 😬
Watch us on matt's podcast now
@@TheStraightPipes Dont tell us what to do :D
As a Volvo S60R owner this video was exciting. Sucks about the transmission but other than that the car is sexy
Great review! Now waiting for Volvo XC40 review :)
Mauricio Franco it’ll happen!
I love my XC40! Loaded momentum black with red leather. It has the same tap shifter. I don't know why every reviewer shits on it (as did these guys for this car), but it's a great shifter, very easy to use and waaay better than pushing a button and clunking it front or back to shift.
It's not "gold/yellow behind the speakers" @15:27, it's kevlar. Bowers and Wilkins use it as cone material to prevent distortion since 1976.
That thing is dope af, def gonna look into one
I have a S40 2004 and I totally love it! Volvo rocks!
Gold seatbelts 👌❤
FINALLY a review of this car. VOLVO LET THE PEOPLE HAVE IT!!
The seatbelts alone make me want this
@theStraightPipes:
PDK is actually manufactured by ZF (Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen). Both the 7 Speed PDK (Macan, Cayman/Boxster and 911) and the 8 Speed PDK (Panamera) are made by ZF.
Great show though 👍🏼
PDK is not a traditional torque converter automatic
V stands for Versatility. Not kidding.
Headrest suggestion was on point!!!! Genious
andrew mcdonald thank you. I miss those headrests
I’m probably the 10th person to report in...But, V is supposedly for “Versatility”.
Vagon is way more fun though. 🤷🏻♂️
Vagonasay whatever ve vanna say ;-)
Fantastic video as always. Btw, it’s pronounced ‘Vin-cherro’ (Seen a few of their ads); Amazing watch- I bought one because of y’all! Keep it up 👍
These new Volvos are amazing but they have become garage queens as of late if I'm not mistaken. Maintenance issues are going to cause monthly visits to dealerships so are these cars that great 8f they can't be kept on the road.
Try not to be afraid of new things. Got 3 hybrid Volvo in my company. 2 of them around 200kk, one 270kk. Each with no any additional service above factory intervals. But we do additional oil change between .
What a mild yet beautiful looking sedan
as soon as he said California doesnt have a lot of pot holes i paused the video and went strait to the comment section but found nothing :(... It does thou!
Come to Connecticut.......
Auston Acosta Not compared to the midwest, California has average roads
Go to missouri
By far the best looking sedan ever. This thing is gorgeous!
Yo you guys should do the Volvo XC40
ugh... SUVs are lame
@@mammothfire Sedans aren't right for everyone, everyone has different needs.
@@mammothfire HEY respect! I love my XC40
Why not the xc 40 twin engine, 263 hp?
@@saadsalman9713, I cannot purchase most sedans because my tall ass cannot fit well.
Öhlins dampers are manufactured and developed in Sweden guys!
They always have and probably always will!
Good style Jakub, I ordered the Chrono S with the rose gold, cant wait to get it!
Awesome choice 👌🏼
Plan to order it for my birthday this weekend 😁😁
So I'm kinda obsessed with the colored seatbelts!!! That's a very nice and exquisite touch Volvo 🤩 now other manufacturers should start throwing some color in their interiors!
Öhlins is a swedish company.. has nothing to do with Germany... and your pronounciation of it is... not good.. :P
thank you. Ö not U
They are 2nd Generation Slavs lmao
The speakers are “gold” because they’re made out of Kevlar. It’s a signature Bowers & Wilkins mobile audio thing, it’s on the BMWs, Jags, Volvos, and McLarens. The Kevlar is used because it’s extremely light and rigid, causing less distortion under load. But it’s also kinda a marketing thing.
The gearbox is from Japanese Aisin Seiki.
Hi! Swede here, V does not stand for Wagon/Vagon. It stands for Versatility. S is for Sedan, and the R model is short for Refinement
Saw that gta shot by the pier
Brian Schell after we rocket launched a helicopter
I see we have the same cultural references ;)
Yuri Tereshyn You can’t visit GTA land without rockets and flying cars! Lmao
Keep up the good work by the way guys. I didn’t find you until 2 weeks ago and haven’t missed anything since! Fiancé thinks you guys are hilarious too so you’re doing great!
It was so funny visiting Santa Monica because I literally knew where could find parking spots and how to find my way from the pier to the shopping street further up because of GTA 5.
Hey Yuri
the reason why the speasker is gold, is because it is kevlar which is a Bowers and Wilkins trademark ;)
V is not for wagon, wagon in swedish is "kombi" fun fact :-)
V stands for Versatile here. Anyway it seems V60 T6 would be the way to go.
Jag tror visst det står för det faktiskt, typ på 50-talet så hette det inte kombi utan "vagn" eller "herrgårdsvagn". Frågan är bara vad fan XC står för hahah
I'm guessing XC stands for Cross (X) Country
No. It stands for Versatility.
I always thought it was V for Variant (V60/V90) and S for Sedan (S60/S90)
