2024 Volvo S60 Recharge T8 - Luxury PHEV Sedan City Commute

[@kimrachk1281]

8:08: If you feel like there is no place to put your phone, there is. The central console storage is designed to fit your phone perfectly. If you open the center console storage completely your phone will sit perfectly flush almost like a lid to the center console storage (assuming you don’t have a water bottle in there, which fits in the door).

[@GeorgeYovetich]

the cutout between the cupholders and center console can hold most phones vertically as a slot

Volvo has always known how to make an amazing vehicle. I purchased my V60 last year and love it.

2:45 “if you are an average person.” In fact, according to the AAA Foundation 2022 Driving Survey, the average trip is 12.3 miles, 2.44 times a day. In my 2023 S60 I average 39 miles per driving day. With 22,000 miles on the odometer I’ve burned 199 gal of 93 octane.

[@henriks5008]

8:30 There is not lack of storage spaces as I se it. Just use som ingenuity. Put you bottles (I have a 1 liter bottle) in the door stowaway and phone flat over/ in the cupholder in the middle the sliding thingy keeps it in place. Unless you use a cup when driving (which I dont) this is the best configuration IMO, as the usb is in the armrest and you can store all you nipnaps int the cupholder or armrest too. Plus the glows compartment is normal size.

I’ve been using my 2024 as my daily driver since I bought it in April and it’s the best car for daily driving I have ever experienced. It’s so smooth, quiet, quick, comfortable, fuel efficient, and looks great. It’s also just the right size for my needs. I had a loaded 2021 Grand Cherokee before the Volvo and the Volvo is every bit as comfortable. It’s really cool to see more premium and luxury brands introducing non-leather interiors. I kinda wish I’d done the wool instead of the blonde leather.

[@pancaxmaplesyrup]

man i would really love to buy the s60 as my next car. its electric range fits my daily needs perfectly and i love its asthetics & how they integrated google maps into the tac. too bad there is only 1 dealership in my city and the reviews for its service department... are not very good at all and i'm concerned if local independent garages are up-to-date on servicing phev volvos. love the video tho and thanks for always being so detailed oriented on your pov drives & reviews, it really helps me get a sense of what im getting with each car without having to step foot into the jungle that is a car dealership ♥

[@NoThanks-n2e]

Hey friend, just coming across this video and saw this. Look into overseas delivery, its this volvo 'package' vacation thing that flyes you out to Sweden, covers the flight and hotel stay, you get a little tour around Sweden/Volvo HQ and get to drive your volvo around sweden and then they ship it to America for free, you also pay the Swedish price which usually ends up as a 5-6% discount from MSRP USA

[@kaizen5180]

The bowers&Wilkins system is worth 20k alone. Great audio system

[@mtshark7]

Nice review Chris!😊

[@reodorranders2864]

Volvo with the T8 engine is really common in Norway. They are truly the best of both worlds. Only thing is that you cant buy any petrol/diesel/hybrid car from 2025 and onwords due to the norwegian government trying to save the world with their «climate goals». It is also common with a price of 8-10$ pr gallon for petrol and diesel. The price might even rise to 20$ in the near future so people in Norway are in many ways forced to buy electric cars.

@@HowToSpec Owned Volvos for the last 20 years. When they go full E.V. across their lineup, I'll buy something else.

[@alexbridgelal3747]

​@HowToSpec what's wrong with a 15 minute city?

[@alexbridgelal3747]

​@HowToSpec All of that can be fixed through legal gun ownership. Vienna is a example of this.

[@rw5622]

@@alexbridgelal3747 You think buying a gun will solve your country's socioeconomic issues? It must be nice being so simple minded that you can just solve every single difficult problem imaginable by just ignoring it, and just telling people to buy a gun. Here's a thought? Why don't you have a nice cup of coffee and a donut and let the adults do the thinking for you. You can sit there stroking a shotgun muttering to yourself how the govt is trying to take away your guns, while the people with brain cells figure out how to make the world inhabitable for our children. I swear these people just crawl out every single video about anything. Can't even watch car videos in peace without these roaches crawling out from their rocks to share their ignorance with the world.

[@snowpharoah3839]

This is a lovely car. It is true that the storage is limited, but really, I don't feel it much. I am impressed with the EV autonomy, the possibility of relying on gas for longer trips, the comfort of the ride and the incredible drive train. And to be honest, it looks stunning.

[@ryanhicks-e2p]

Love my V60 Polestar. Great review

[@_clutchbite]

oh how I wish my family’s Volvo S60 was more reliable

[@ThrillzDino]

How bad is it and is it the newer one😭 cuz i was thinking of getting one

[@TopherDrives]

also curious to hear what’s gone wrong with it!

[@Jaedan-FSU]

U are a good driver ❤❤❤

[@usaf2011]

no ventilated seats is a hard pass for me these days at that price point. Otherwise FANTASTIC car.

[@Jack-pd4ps]

Facts. And cloth seats at that price point is a no no for me

[@jjcp8]

3:54 The left speaker on the parcel shelf bouncing out when you shut the trunk 😬

[@TradingWithJuice]

As someone who builds Volvo s60’s, don’t know how that happened

[@jimmychen5746]

To me it is the short suspension travel that puts me off. When the car hits a pothole, the car is so easy to get out of alignment. I’m not sure if it is the suspension design or the material they use. But once it is out of the alignment, the dealer at my place just can’t always get it right😢. So I ended up driving with a slightly crooked steering most of the time.

[@ElliWoelfin]

For a few reasons I've come to really like cloth seats. Big one is the real leather jacket I got from a friend is fucking squeaky when rubbing against leather (fake or not) seats. But beyond that they seem lot cozier

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

Lovely cute Volvo :3 woohoo ❤

[@DerkVanKuiken]

Do the brake lights come on when using one pedal driving?

[@theprince6590]

Why can’t we add the bembo brakes to this model ? Polestar bembo brakes … why can anyone tell me

[@tonys9413]

It’s NOT “bembo”, it is Brembo …….. that’s why you can’t find them anywhere for any car!!

[@mharro88]

I still prefer the older volvo infotainment. Less glitchy. Also whats with the no leather stitched steering wheel. Ive got it in my 2018 rdesign xc60 t6 , seems like theres less leather on the newer trims

[@papayaman123]

You talk about how light and good the steering feels but I realize that when you turn you have to turn the wheel a lot more than an average car

[@Anutushara]

I like the car but don’t know where I would plug it up at.

[@weirdshibainu]

Do what I do......wait until your neighbors leave for the day and then run an extension cord. I haven't paid a dime for electricity for months. It is odd that they've asked me if my power bill has gone up.

[@_st4r_gazer_]

I think brown stains ain't coffee... 😂

[@Localtraveler2376]

Nice video SubT.

[@Keestral]

Can you do the same with a Polestar edition with the Ohlins set to comfort?

[@frankie.d1127]

Do you find that there’s more resistance when accelerating in B mode though? I just got a 24 and notice it accelerates easier in D mode vs B, (pure mode) if that makes sense- feels like it’s using more energy. Could be the trade off to get more aggressive regen braking I guess.

[@frankie.d1127]

Gold chain!!! Hysterical! 🤣🤣 that’s the bmw/mercedes demographic!

[@makimoko]

Well in « one pedal », part of the pedal travel is for acceleration, and part is for modulating the regenerative braking. When in D, the whole pedal travel is solely for acceleration (lifting off will be coasting).

[@maximojosezunigaricardi6305]

Wich car is better between this Volvo and bmw m340i?

[@chobikil6006]

would you rather live with the XC60, S60, or the V60?

[@Iggy1008]

I don’t know why Volvo doesn’t make a performance car with their iconic 5 cylinder engine upgraded with modern technology including the electric components. They could probably achieve close to 600 horsepower.

[@pellepuffin]

Hey Chris, Is the bowers and wilkins better in this compared to the s90?

[@TopherDrives]

It’s pretty close! I haven’t driven an S90 in a while but the differences among all the sedans & wagons are slim.

Well, I'm watching this now as I find out that the S60 is suddenly dead in the US. Shame. But I guess the low sales figures meant this car wasn't worth it.
