Volvo builds a high quality vehicle. MB and BMW, take notice.

Yeah, no. Volvo ranks near the bottom of every brand reliability ranking. Mercedes also poor but BMW ranks much higher. Volvo makes a well-styled vehicle but the ICE models are all underpowered for the luxury segment.

@@scooter5940All those reliability rankings are bs, some of them you can even buy, like JD Power. And consumer reports is unbelievably frustrating. Also, this is an ice vehicle, that’s also a hybrid with 455 hp? I don’t think that’s under powered? Nor the 316 hp of the T6

@@social_lag Right, you know better about reliability based on your extensive anecdotal experience……talking ICE are underpowered. All luxury PHEV’s are fast, but most consumers don’t want them and for good reason. 316 HP is nothing for a vehicle of this size, and that turbo four will work too hard, and gets shit mileage. Volvo is Chinese junk with a pretty exterior.

@@scooter5940 It's owned by Geely, not built by Geely, if you think 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds means the car is underpowered then you have a mental problem !

I have one of these (2024), and can confirm it’s a missile when both the engine & ERAD are working, and there’s been many times where I’ve only spent $3.50 a week in gas if using ERAD only. It costs me about $.70 per full charge at home, and $3.36 per full charge at work, and the full charge will take me about 40 miles. Some companies will pay for employee charging, so in theory I’d only pay $.70 for each trip to work where it would be 2 gallons of gas ($7.04). Aside from some infotainment and rear-view camera issues, I’m really liking it.

Thanks for the info. What do you pay per KW for your electricity at home? In Alberta it's around $0.10c/kw.

@matthelms4167 2 ай бұрын

@@jeffivan870 I think it’s around $.07/kw. Charging at night is around $.048/kw if you sign up for off-peak rates, but the peak rate is quite high and we have to use the AC quite a bit in the summer during the day -

When you try to open the tail gate it has to be like a kick, if you do it too slow it doesn't work. Just a quick quick motion moving your foot fast under the "V" and it should work everytime. Took me awhile to get used to it also.

You have the same hole in the roof behind the back seat. Is for attaching luggage protection to so that you are not hit by it in the event of a crash or hard braking. Safety to a high degree.

Drove this directly after a Lexus and suspension is very stiff- is not actually very comfortable compared. The engine was super fun though. Only the top trim (ultra) had comfortable seats. the lesser trims just weren't very compfortable. the rear/boot is surprisingly plain and I can't believe they don't have latches so that you can drop seats from the rear of the vehicle. My 9 year old Mazda has a better trunk with latches. Overall I love the engine and cockpit, but a lot of things could be improved.

You didn’t say how much it cost to 1 in the UK. Where did you purchase it in the UK and how much did it cost? I’d like to know the only thing I don’t like is a plug-in I am a disabled person and I can’t get in and out of the car, but I’m buying a new car this year and I was thinking of bringing it in from England to Ireland. If I get a good deal but I want one that’s not plug-in. Could you please help me Alice Burke

It’s odd that Volvo continues to put a 3.7 kW onboard charger in this. If you happen to have a level two charger you can charge a base model Rav4 Prime twice as fast. It’s not critical, but how much more would it cost to keep up with the competition?

@Noll9037 3 ай бұрын

The EU spec is twice as fast. So question why we can’t have good things here in US. I have the 2025 T8 Ultra and it is great.

@nickhoare8906 2 ай бұрын

@@Noll9037EU spec for 6.4kW Charging requires a 2 Phase charger. I have yet to find a public charger that will do that and I’ve yet to hear of anyone who has managed to achieve 6.4kW charging. Uk homes do not have 3 phase. It can be installed £££ and then maybe there are home charging points that can be configured as 2 phase? So 6.4kW may be in the spec but so far for me it is no use.

Ultra without B&W system is a joke to buy or recommend. H&K speakers compared with B&W are just rubbish. In UK B&W comes standard in Ultra as there is no point to have cheap awful speakers in premium package. Not sure why it’s not like that in other countries. As for opening boot with your leg you have to swing your foot under from one side to another.
