I have an S60 T6 R Design with the Polestar tune. Best car I’ve ever owned- most of what you have in the T8 but with about 60 less HP, less weight, and less complication. Polestar tune gives you a little more power, higher redline, and quicker shifts 👍
It's ALL about "options". I LOVE MY 2020 V60 CROSS COUNTRY! It's a year old now, I love it even more.
I have an S90 and enjoy it on long road trips. Great interiors, ergonomics, and tech. I test drove some other cars recently and their interiors felt so cheap. The S60 is a nice size.
Excellent. Sadly, Volvo may not make the s90 at the next product update. They may not even make the s60. There are few s90s on the road, which, yes makes them look cool and distinctive but unfortunately gives Volvo a reason to discontinue them. I truly hope the in the future Volvo sells wagons, sedans and the crossover types of vehicles (SUV/CUV). But, their plans have a lot more SUVs and there's talk of discontinuing some sedans. And there are only 2 now.
I love this review! Thanks guys, helpful info!
This Volvo looks good especially in white! I bought a used 2010 white xc60 awd SUV because I listened to one of your older podcasts recommendations that you like it and my wife and I love driving it. I like the Volvo styling and grill so much better than Lexus. I also like the crystal shift knob. It shows more refinement and luxury.
Coincidently I live in Oregon and I almost hit a deer a few nights ago that jumped in front of me and my Volvo beeped at me to warn me and i was able to miss the deer. Cheers!
those seats look incredible
The 2001 version of this car; my S60 T5 Turbo; did the Portland to Los Angeles run (1000 mi) overnight. Wish to god I had timed it. Volvo sedans chew up freeway miles like nobodies business and maintain a great composure while doing it. I wonder if you guys had a chance to drive it "around town"? Because my 01' S60 wasn't the greatest in that environment but boy it loved the open road.
Love the review
I have a 2018 S60 and I love it. The T8 may be my next car. :-)
"I bought a white volvo" is not as boring a sentence as "I bought a white CR-V", and sadly, more people can say the second sentence.
The lease on my V60 Polestar hybrid ends this month. I will, most certainly, be buying it out from the lease. It's such a fantastic combination of sport, practicality, and efficiency, that it has literally no competitor on the market.
If they feel like they look, those seats must be amazing!
They are especially if it's Inscription with heated/ ventilated/ massage.
I am considering the 2023 S60 recharge extended when it comes out. For the money, it seems like a good balance of performance and luxury. What else might you consider in that price range that has 4 doors?
I love the way the new S60 looks, I had an S60 T5 in 2013 and it was a great cross country car with the best seats I've ever owned in any car. I'm still leaning Model 3 but I still love my Arteon. It's amazing that even though SUVs outsell cars there are still ao many great sedans to choose from.
Get a polestar
For now.
Please, if you can, do a test review of the 2021 Volvo S90 recharge inscription. I really want to see the test itself and how it differs from the S60 in this video.
First of all great job on the video of this volvo!!!! This is an absolutely gorgeous. Looks like it runs with more power than you would Regularly need, So when you needed it's there. This is an extraordinary vehicle. I'm torn between this and a tesla model y. We'll see what happens.
Amazing review. I am in the market for a luxury hybrid and I am choosing between the Volvo S60 T8 against the BMW 330e m sport which I have driven back to back and both are amazing cars. But for overall value, comfort and performance, which one do you think is the best choice?
Volvos haven't been boxy for decades now. You showed a p2 V70 but the only thing boxy about it was that it had an upright back (which is the best for doing its job and carrying things). But the s60 version of that car was rounded. That was 2 generations back from the current cars. And Volvos have made quick sedans/wagons for some time now, even some of the boxier ones were, like the 850R sedan and wagon. Volvos are fine long distance cars due to the stable over the road feel, fine seats and reasonable quietness.
Gotta love the technics behind this; turbo charged, supercharged and electrics.
Won't love the bills nor the time it will be at the dealers instead of inbetween my hands.
Love the (exterior) looks, but am biased since I own a model 2005 s60.
Curious how "out of warranty" ownership would be. Better or worse than a phaeton lol
Question: there seems to be a lot of road noise being picked up by the microphone, is it bad?
Do you have any test drive review video’s on a 2022 Acura TLX- A- Spec. In dark metallic Pearl blue?
We did a video on the TLX A-spec, but not in that color.
I can buy the same one 4 years old 30k miles and 29k euros should I go for it?
I got a 17 s90 t6 inscription beautiful light blue my first Volvo was a 08 S80 t6 until last sumner traded for a black 17 s90 t6 inscription three months later some foolish driver doing 80 lost control slam in the side of my baby that Volvo completely stop no serious injury the other car was tore up my car was deem a total loss due to the side air bags and internal damage in the doors. Late March of this year I got my replacement same car different color plus my CD player was in the console just like my other one. The one thing I didn’t care for was tan leather but I’m use to it . That car turns heads both of them did I got a lot of compliments on both cars beautiful. If you can’t decide on a car test drive the s90
Getting a V60 T8 next week. coming from BMW 330e
I'm sorry did Todd just say he'd take this over the LS500h?
Whoa.
Curious what cars we'd in a comparison see at an LC500 monetary unit :P
Have you test driven the BMW M340i, and if so, how does the performance/driving experience compare against this S60? The M340i, with its 382 horsepower turbocharged inline 6 engine, seems to be a car that offers a very engaging driving experience, and I've kind of wondered if the S60 T8 is as quick off the line as the M340i. Would be cool to see you guys do a review of that car.
Id be curious to know this as well.
The bmw would win off the line and in a rolling race too unfortunately.
@@mineral79jewelry49 Nobody cares about 0-60! The Germans are obsessed with this. I would take the Volvo anytime, the bmw would probably spend more time in the shop than on the road! I still have my 2005 S40 2.4i. It is indestructible!
Central tunnel batteries! Yes volvo!
All the EV's so far have gone with plates of batteries in the floor because it 'lowers the center of gravity, like a sports car, while raising the seated position of the driver, which is what everyone wants'
Yeah, but (1) I'm not everyone, and so I don't want to be sitting up high, and (2) an underfloor battery might be good for lowering the center of gravity, but it significantly raises the polar moment of inertia. Low polar moment of inertia goes a lot farther in making a car nimble, a low center of gravity just reduces body roll (and increases how grippy the tires can get without risking roll over)
0:40 so paul ur saying they’re the new saab ?
(one of the last cars i rode in as a kid was my mom’s ‘02 9-5 wagon and i learned stick driving my uncle’s ‘99 9-5
they’re special cars)
10:00 lmao so glad the phaeton had the chance to impart this on todd
Needs a third pedal. And 5 doors. And I would buy one.
There used to be manual hybrids (Honda Insight, CRZ), and it worked fine.
It will never get a 3rd pedal so why even ask for one? SOOOO WEIRD! Why do people waste their time requesting something that will never happen. NO ONE BOUGHT THOSE MANUAL hybrids. There's a reason why they stopped selling them!
@@superset5 That escalated quickly. ;)
Yeah, I agree, there isn't much demand for such a vehicle.
I, heretofore unbeknownst to me, just discovered this second YT channel by the EverydayDriver. Doh! (in Homer J Simpson's voice)
Glad you found this one as well. Thanks watching!
@@TestDriveVideos You guys should advertise this channel in the main one. I also stumbled upon it just now and would've been adding views the past months for sure.
Woooahh Phil Collins & Phil Collins doing a car review show…. (Cue drum solo)
If I hadn't stopped my s90 for an abarth 124 already, I would have considered this
Understandable, since the Volvo S90 and the Abarth 124 are very similar.
Is there any room in this conversation for the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid? They still make that thing, right?
No. Last year was the last year
I am in the process of getting a T8 Inscription. We are trying to dealer trade for one. Cross your fingers for me.
Yes! I've been waiting for this review! Trying to convince my wife that Volvos aren't grandma cars 😉
@ Sooooo every Mercedes is a grandma car by default? The automatic Hellcat is a grandma car? Sound logic 🧠 💡
@@misterlob3604 You forgot THE grandma car: the McLaren Senna. It even has windows in the doors for easier parking! ;)
@@Radde1Radde You're totally right! I should get that for my 80 year old grandma for Christmas, she's been wanting a new easy-to-drive car anyway
@@misterlob3604 Grandma would totally rock a McLaren!
Sorry to say this man but you have gotta get a divorce if your wife thinks volvo's a grandma car
The interior reminds me of a Polestar 1 interior.
Yeah its ok, But Nelson customs in the USA crams 1000, 2500 and 4000 HP out of a V8 with the same strategy so yeah...
My Ford Focus RS is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds too...
Twin engines? The rear badge.
No mention of which year of Volvo S60 T8 they are reviewing? I’m three minutes into the video and still no mention of year.
Well if it's a 2020 I know it will top out at 130 mph.
No mention of how the transmission works.
It's just an 8 speed automatic. Nothing particularly standout other than how it handles the two power sources
“Never tell a man his car is cute”😹😹😹😹
I’m surprised you haven’t driven if the road yet!
You are really distracted looking at your co-presenter so much whilst driving!! 😳
It’s a great car, I have one!
A good replacement to your phaeton? Are you serious?
well, hold onto your butts, the Merc is going to charge you $80k for their new 4-pot engined C63 due out next year
wait for a lease return it will be 22k$
Is that good....cause I'll take it lol
maintenance cost will put a hurt on your pockets..
that’s a Man thing because that does sound insane
Do you want to buy a 4 Cylinder for $60,000
But I like the Car HA HA
Sadly all the new Volvos are only semi-perfect für the autobahn. They only do 180 km/h (112 mph).
Otherwise its a beautiful car and I woud choose the S60/V60 over an BMW 3series, Mercedes C-class or an Audi A4.
This spead limitations is something to do with the electric motor. Toyota RAV4 the same huge bhp but low top end not very good for autobahn my diesel XC60 happily doing 134mph and still had more to offer.
@@keithnewton8981 Horse. Shit. This same system has been unlimited before, giving it a top speed over 180km/h. This is simply an executive decision to promote safety.
Lucky me - I've last S60 T6 AWD R-Design w/o speed limit - what a car! This toy replaced BMW330i and is .... way better.
@@xedski nice
Only 2021 and after. My ‘19 T6 will do 155
Volvos have always been fast though. Theyre not slow cars 😂
With all that complexity comes reliability issues, and you said you'd take this over a Lexus?? Obviously, this review isn't by someone who's into luxury cruisers...
We hope you’ve driven both the current Volvo product and Lexus product. While Lexus has stellar reliability, we think there is more to luxury driving experience than reliability. And we have owned and documented old luxury cruisers. Thanks for watching.
@@TestDriveVideos I have owned several Lexus and test drove a Volvo just yesterday, not the model mentioned but it did give me a feel as to what the current Volvo ethos is all about. It was very impressive, at least on the test drive.
I'm one of those luxury driving experience fans that doesn't include tow trucks as being an essential part of the experience, hence why I gave up the Germans years ago, and the Swedes only rank marginally better on reliability. Even Toyota has had some hiccups recently with some of their hybrid models hence just one of the reasons I steer clear of hybrids. And that's without a turbocharged, supercharged sewing machine 4-pot engine bolted onto it. Thanks for replying.
We it not on the boot because it does no say inscription it T8awd hybrid
S60 the opposite side and Volvo in the middle no inscription be so tell the truth.
How out of date our you this car been on the market 3 years
? - It does say inscription at the bottom of the Silver Box making up the trunk logo. Lots of information crammed there. Thanks for watching.
@@TestDriveVideos yeah don't understand what the guy is trying to say
And you edited that comment Keith?! I can't understand a single fragmented thought you put out there, but the overall feel of it is that you're trying to be a jerk. 😁
Boring
😂
