Thanks for the very good review Jill. The slot for the phone is exactly there (at 10:42). It fits perfectly with a short USB-C cable. Not sure why this is missed by (almost) all reviews. I've received my V60 PE in May and it's very close to a perfect car for my needs with a family.

The slot is fine for my spouses small Apple i phone but is useless for my larger Android .

⁠​⁠@@stevensnow4112Yes that‘s true. Just wanted to point out that there is a dedicated phone slot which works well for me. Personally I don‘t get why bigger phones are so popular nowadays, but that‘s a whole different topic 😊

I'm absolutely furious that they cancelled the V90 in the US market. I have to twist myself into a pretzel to get into or out of a 60-series, so I bought an S90 instead, but I really wish I could have gotten the V90.

YES!!!

Good overall review. At the top of the screen is a blue 2" line. If you pull that down you access more information. As an owner I often forget to look here when I want can't find something.

The shift knob is crystal, not acrylic.

I wanted to get a Volvo station wagon several years ago because I liked the boxy shape. I don't like technology and screens in a truck but in this car everything looks good. I really like the body lines and the seats look sporty with side bolsters. Most new cars, especially electric, are too smooth and don't look as good as this wagon. I don't understand the purpose of putting almost no storage under the armrest.

That's where the battery is...

Push the OK button on the steering wheel to see fuel data.

Hi Jill, Thanks for sharing.

Regarding the infotainment screen, the problem isn’t so much the “small” screen but rather that its portrait rather than landscape designed; horizontal screens are much better for cars, just like they are for laptops and desktop computer screens … another big drawback to the Volvo design is too-few physical switches/dials and over-dependency on small touchscreen icons often located in sub-sub menus that make it frustrating & dangerous to use while driving

[@tobiasp6304]

Just for clarification acrylic is a kind of plastic the gear shifter in the higher end volvo cars are made of crystal made from one of Swedens finest glass manufacturers named Orrefors

[@panameradan6860]

The leather-covered gear shifter is much better and looks less tacky

I applaud Volvo for bringing a wagon to the US, but I'm guessing they sell less than 5,000 of these this year.

You can configure the trip meter by going to "Options" then "Controls". Now comes the bad part. They don't call it Trip Computer or Trip Meter. I'm not in my car so I don't remember the exact setting, but there is a set of 3 buttons below the "Hybrid, Polestar, Pure,.." buttons. Selecting the third button of the three will display the trip meter and the fuel economy. Resetting it can be done on by pressing the O button on the steering wheel or by pressing the reset button on the wiper lever. The user guide for this car is the worse. One thing I don't like is that I can't figure out how to use cruise control without it being in ACC mode or in Pilot Assist mode. 😞

Elegant and beautiful ❤️

I loved the wagons, then automakers became obsessed with SUVs/CUVs. I got almost as much crap in a HHR as what will fit in a mid-size standard truck bed.

My biggest gripe is that Volvo doesn’t provide a cross country wagon in PHEV form … this V60 wagon is way too low and will scrape bottom a lot in driveway dips and speed bumps … been there, done that … will never again buy a non-lifted wagon
