Is the 2022 Volvo V60 T8 Recharge the best buy of its segment ? | Evomalaysia.com

[@CaryInVictoria]

I love your videos because of your depth of knowledge about cars and the way you impart that knowledge to viewers. What other car journalist talks about the importance of the placement of vents for back-seat passengers or the day-to-day usability of an infotainment screen. Most car reviewers seem to be consumed by zero-to-sixty times and the way the car behaves in the twisties, even for cars whose target market is soccer dads and soccer moms. I also appreciate that you focus on how a car feels more than how it performs. That you do that extemporaneously is both engaging and impressive.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

thank you so much for your comment. :)

[@markbernard882]

One of the best reviews I've seen. Your depth of knowledge and explanation was incredibly informative and helpful. Thank you

[@shamsulamri]

Long time waiting for your review on this. Thanks bro Bobby. 👍🏼

[@poovaneswaransupramaniam19]

Nice review man....agreed thar plug in hybrid are more complicated and long term reliability considerations to be thought about...so it depends to the end customer preference

[@andrewhewitt4500]

Bobby, Thanks so much for your V60 video! You have made many good points. Other reviews that have been watched missed the finer points of what this Volvo is about. Awesome job!

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy my other reviews

[@jonharley7715]

What a very impressive & detailed analysis of this vehicle. Thank you.

[@johnmatthewlow88]

Drove it that day. It's awesome, and at this price point it's great value. Don't really need the paddle shifters (how often you use it anyway?) because the way it delivers power is on point.

[@koseapwtc]

Lol its been a while since i heard someone mention “Kylie Minogue”

[@nidusinas]

always love the wagons

[@CWSern]

S60 here, although i am really enjoying my car now, but i always envy those 3 series or C class people, i feel like a chinese school boy, bringing a heavy backpack with all the thick and heavy textbook to school, while those C's and 3's kids are like those american school kids, have their own locker at school, wearing casually to school....haha what kinda comparison is this....

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Lol ... You pay less but has 150hp more than them

[@lightweight8789]

Don’t worry we can eat C class easily 😂

[@JOHN-w1i7u]

C class are like sissy spoil brat nowadays. Just check out merc build quality, sikit2 cabut. I would ho for volvo anytime.

[@shafiqlaici5485]

Bobby Ang, please full in depth review walk-around of The Al New BMW Z4 2020 at authorized distributor bmw, with glacier silver colour and misano blue and Cognac interior

[@pahhaw4251]

BMW has a nice storage spot under the back spare tire area for their privacy covers in the X3 (not sure about other models)

[@shahrulamri7780]

Are volvo seat the best? Compare to merc n lexus

Hello from Thailand. I just ordered a V60 MY22.5 (that’s what they call it here) with the new longer pure electric driving range and more powerful setup. The feature to switch drive modes is still available in the car but they now requires you to do it via the Sensus as the mode switching wheel has been removed. Can’t wait for my car to arrive. I am wondering if it is worth it to even optimize the car in few months time with Polestar. This time around, the optimization does not improve the overall power output but only tune the throttle response and gear shifts.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Drive it for at least 3-5 months first... So that you can feel the differences later on

[@KipsanBeck]

Yo! I also got the v60 MY22.5 arriving next week also in Thailand, already negotiated polestar tune when i purchased, the optimisation does increase the HP (according to the sales person I spoke to, around +15HP) we are getting 455HP already, I read elsewhere it will increase from 455 to 462HP; yours is the first message I saw that there is no increase in power, so let's see. First volvo, let's see how it goes - going from a slightly modified Maserati, it's mental that an old person's station wagon will blow away my old car by 1sec+ 0-100 effortlessly :-)

[@willwu1688]

@@KipsanBeck the info I got is directly from Polestar’s site with regards to the optimization. It is also being questioned and discussed in foreign forums in the so-call T8 ER (Extended Range) drivetrain. I don’t always trust the sales person when it comes to car.

[@KipsanBeck]

Let's see. In any case 455hp is already pretty crazy even the bmw 340i and rs3 isn't that high, also elec power comes online no lag, I think doesn't need more 5555. I get next week will let u know, Sales ppl generally don't know much so u might well be right

[@willwu1688]

@@KipsanBeck i am not exactly certain why but in Thailand the hp is rated at 460. I am picking up my car this Sunday. The idea is drive it as is for few months and polestar it.

[@TeraNazantia]

That analogy at the end. XD

[@justinpow92]

Wow this wagon looks fantastic, it's such a shame that we only get the 'cross country' variant here instead of the normal v60 which has a more elegant/ less rugged look.

[@stevensnow4112]

also disappointing that we don't have option for V90.

[@limsam186]

Meter animation looks so laggy

[@Talentzero91]

Im curious. Does this car have manual mode for +/-? Or do every owner have to embrace the D gear at all time driving?

[@KipsanBeck]

Has b mode u can shift manually using the gear lever

[@muhammadomar7070]

Bobby if u don't mind I was wondering why u sold off both of your xc90?🤔

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Eh i beloeve i explained in this video. First one was a heavily discounted media test drive unit that doesnt come with 360 camera, has the smaller battery and smaller fuel tank and black leather. I traded it to a new one when the market has literally no second hand XC90s for a good price and got the newer one which has all the specs and updated processor, battery, fuel tank, B&W, 360 cam, brown leather seats etc and i absolutely love it. But a year later i stumbled upon my dream aston martin rapide s selling at half the market value so i jumped onto the opportunity

[@CatMeow-fn9ko]

It still resonates around our parents generation that this is a hearse looking car. Hence why Chinese families dislike the estate/wagons

[@azrizakaria5581]

Can we remove the speed limiter?

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Along with the warranty? Maybe

[@sharengaming9194]

Thanks

[@minseng007]

Bobby really placed me in a dilemma, have repeatedly watched many of your videos, particularly Volvo videos, tens of hours. You made me like Volvo a lot, and I've viewed and test drove the S60 and S90, love both of them. I've booked the S60 but I'm still very worried on the complicated hybrid technology, more so you reiterated it in some of your videos, particularly this one. Don't like Japanese or Korean cars, also reluctant to pay for other overpriced conti cars. Plan to maybe drive for 7-8 years, and the reliability of the hybrid tech is driving me nuts now. Not sure if I shall proceed with the S60 or cancel it.

[@jdfd4906]

Get the s90 T5 and call it a day.

[@jw1330]

T5 should b a better option. I was in dilemma which to choose between XC60 T5 or T8. I change my mind after reading from forum where the xc60 owner couldnt unlock his car in a rainy night.

[@hassanjamal4212]

get extended warranty and hh=ybrids are naturally going to get outdated before breaking down imo

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

i enjoyed my both my T8 for 3 years. A few of my friends on their 2nd XC90 T8s too despite experiencing once or twice of little software niggles

[@CaryInVictoria]

Maybe you should wait for the ES60, the likely designation of the all-electric S60. I’ve ordered a C40, which I should get in a couple of months, but might switch to the ES60 when it comes out.

[@mohdabd459]

Is Volvo a reliable car in Malaysia?

[@JOHN-w1i7u]

It is very.

[@wilsonlim2509]

That isn't right Bobby. Even when you engage the "Charge" mode, the car will still use the electric motor when the demand for power spikes. So technically the car will always have the full power on tap regardless of the battery state of charge although a fully charged battery would allow longer sustained performance than one that is exhausted of charge. This is possible because we don't get to use the full capacity of the traction battery as the car would always reserve somewhere between 10-20% of the battery charge. In terms of reliability, no doubt the engine is putting up quite well despite it's twin charge architecture. However I beg to differ in the terms of performance. It is nowhere better than the equivalent turbo charged engines by likes of BMW, Audi/VW, Mercedes etc. In fact it fared worst.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

I was talking about its response. Absolute zero lag makes daily use a delight. And I don't mean a kickdown, even light throttle application.

[@naimazwan5952]

Is it just me or Bobby mcm tak ada mood nk review. Hehe

[@johor-01]

Awesome Volvo by Bobby , but can you get a hair cut first ? 👍🤣

[@manueljojo6538]

1 touch on, 1 touch off, just like an ✈️ 👍 Is the current S60 a good buy too?

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Yesssss!!!

[@fbp452]

The phev Volvos don’t have 4zone climate control.

[@JOHN-w1i7u]

Because of the massive battery in the middle.

[@Laughingorcorp]

Nice review. And for the shoe you wear. It is called anti-driving shoe. Lol.

[@celestialbeing6929]

just stay away from hybrid! either u go full E or petrol engine! I
