2019 Volvo S60 T5 R Design Review

[@podge5555]

Best looking car in this class

[@alanwinslade3596]

Agreed!

[@patrickbarks997]

I like this car, it looks sporty and classy at the same time. I just wish that the fuel consumption was much better.

[@alanwinslade3596]

Tend to agree. I enjoy mine and regularly returned 35mpg+ before lockdown. which is better than I expected. Figures do take a hit if you drive really enthusiastically - but I don't feel that this is really what this car is about.

[@dmj8891]

Such a beautiful car. Shame they won't ever make a REAL R version anymore

[@jevinpavan2427]

the most beautiful in its class

[@chriscrawford-bennett5086]

You buy a volvo for comfort, you wont find better seats in any other car in its class. Brilliant motorway drive these cars...

[@matthewesposito5177]

Exactly I found the BMW to be very uncomfortable while the Volvo was so comfortable I didn’t even know the car was on! Lol

[@lembit1647]

You don't need to use the touch screen whilst driving, that takes your eye off the road. Just use voice command for the usual requirements such as desired radio programme, seat heating, steering wheel heating, temperature setting, etc. If you want a knob to play with, there’s always the nice big volume control, but you don't even need that - just ask it to increase volume. The touch screen is essentially used for car set-up when you first buy the thing. Anything else, eg SatNav, would be set up before the car is driven, surely!

[@alanwinslade3596]

Love my s60 but beg to differ, Peter. The voice command system isn't great and I for one did have to get used to using the touch screen - especially for heater controls. Interesting comment about use of SatNav?!

[@lembit1647]

Alan, I agree the voice recognition isn’t perfect but, if you use the lingo itemised in the manual, you should find it works ok. For everyday commands for heating or radio I find it doesn’t miss a beat. I drive an S90, but it should be the same. Perhaps when Volvo’s Mk 2 edition comes along it will be more advanced, like Google or Alexa!? Nice cars though.

[@bh2155]

This car is just so elegant.

[@escapevelocityvideos]

Need to test the T6 version. The added supercharger gets it up to 316 hp and there is no lag. It really wants to go, go, go!

[@jameskerr1954]

Here's a question: why does the S60 only come in petrol with an auto box when the V60 is available in diesel and with a manual box? Aren't they pretty much the same car?

[@ViezePoeperd]

Why would you want a diesel tho..

[@jackbud.3406]

Volvo makes the best looking sedans🔥🔥 safety is on point and the seats are just out of this world 🔥🔥 I hope one day I can drive my Volvo with my wife and kids all the way to upcountry

[@chriscrawford-bennett5086]

When you realise you cant sink your foot on british road without getting slapped with a ticket...speed isnt what you need, and volvo seats are next level!!! So for long drives..these cars are absolutely fantastic. You kinda feel glad your sat in one when you see a tuned car flying past bouncing about all over the show.

[@Firemarioflower]

Great to have found CarGurus thanks to Rebecca moving there, i had no idea other women were reviewing here, nice to see!

[@user-eu2me4bp7j]

yes so sick of Rebecca, other faces are refreshing.

[@NDakovic]

What a beauty

[@danielvasev7264]

I really laugh when she said... BMW BRILIANT 320d

[@sensiblewombat]

R-Design is probably not the trim to go for if you're after a comfortable ride... the Inscription would have been a fairer review in all honesty.

[@leemclaren2518]

Does all entertainment systems have Android auto / apple car play or is this just an r design thing ?

[@stewbama8566]

All

[@04poppop]

Unforced elegance, something like I know my value no need to prove it!!

[@jeffallinson8089]

A lovely piece of design inside and out but no diesel...WTF??

[@joecostner2608]

you don't tell us if it's RWD or FWD ?

[@flavianspita6642]

It's front wheel drive.

[@travisfs7526]

It’s gonna be FWD I mean 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@kelvintay6803]

Its 4WR

[@christtv3576]

So you can’t use gasoline for this car?🤔

[@berhoom2024]

No Diesel

[@alanwinslade3596]

No gasoline... only petrol!!

[@stefangeniusz8091]

Volvo has never achieved anything in motorsport ... so there is no such thing as Volvo Sport. It's just a marketing gimmick.

[@alanwinslade3596]

Really?! Volvo may not major on racing these days but i suggest you look into BTCC history. I suggest you may never have driven a sorted R Volvo either.

[@stefangeniusz8091]

Volvo are about to ditch all petrol cars and go all electric. It will n pointless investing in an engine powerd Volvo these days, they will be worthless in 6 years

[@hsvcommodore4111]

Everything you say in this comment is wrong. Sorry. They don‘t go all electric in a few years, they will only have electrified vehicles (so also hybrids, plug ins etc) and it‘s not pointless to invest in petrol cars, no ev sells well exept tesla

[@Firemarioflower]

@@hsvcommodore4111 Dude, yes they will. They got rid of their 5 cylinders SO FAST. Sweden is a pretty socialist country, they adapt to electric like nothing else.

[@hsvcommodore4111]

Firemarioflower that still doesn‘t make his comment more correct, lol

[@Firemarioflower]

@@hsvcommodore4111 Please.... I'm a big fan of petrol and i see this worthless trend being pushed by political agendas, it's going way faster than i expected. Don't be naive.

[@Firemarioflower]

@@hsvcommodore4111 I only hope i'm wrong you know. At least i can thank you for giving the petrolheads hope. It's indeed true that EV sells only because of subsiding and tax advantages. EVs did kinda lose out the competition against petrol in 1920 so i hope history will repeat itself.

[@swanblake]

It's crazy that it's fwd based like all eco cars but has less usable room to the rwd entries. FWD based cars are not luxury in my opinion. I'll pass on the Volvo line
