Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar - The Sensible Family SUV with 420BHP! | 4K

#volvo #polestarengineered #polestar
Welcome back to Life In Motion and to this Family SUV with over 400BHP!
The Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar Plug-in Hybrid is a joint creation by the wonders at Volvo and Polestar's engineering department. This car utilises a 4-cylinder petrol engine and electric power to produce 415bhp in this car, and 420bhp in the new model year cars.
The electric motor will give you roughly 20 miles of range on a full charge and I think that is where this car's sweet spot is. If you're doing short journeys everyday, the electric will do most of the work so you return fantastic MPG. As soon as you venture further afield, you will notice the MPG drop to around 30-35 on a run (because you're lugging those batteries round!).
at 5.4 seconds to 62, it's slightly faster than say an Audi Q5 55 TFSIe however I felt comparing this to an Audi SQ5 was more comparable.
With that in mind, I would personally buy the SQ5 as that car feels slightly more planted and sounds good.

Definitely love this amazing Volvo 👍

[@adhsmith1601]

That model was updated you must have last of old spec, not long after it came with bigger battery up from 11.6 to 18.8 and more powerful electric motor giving 455hp and more range ~37 miles ( 43-48mles WLTP, depending on spec), not many 455 polestars though, but upgraded battery and motor available in other T8 and T6 models

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Thanks for this. I had someone reach out to let me know the same, however I looked on the used market and I struggled to find many!

[@jakobljunggren8313]

Also 6,4 kW charging in 2024 models (built from march 2023), almost only hybrid with that kind of charging.

[@antonm4459]

Love the vid! Got to agree this spec looks absolutely amazing

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Thanks Anton! Looks superb doesn’t it

[@robertwalker1742]

Best made car on sale in UK, a tank of a car.

[@systemler44]

Any xc60 t8 is greatly under appropriated..this car has to to be one of the best all round cars on the market to date

[@LifeInMotionuk]

I was stunned by the interior quality alone, superb car!

[@streetfighter3k144]

Signed the contracts for 2 of them, one for my brother and one for me. Hope to get themby the end of the year! Fantastic car in all aspects. Gr. Marc.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Superb! Enjoy 👍🏻

Wait until the ERAD goes

As per the comments below driving a 71 plate car (2021 somewhere) is not representing the current models. The Polestar is no longer offered and the battery is bigger OHH and they dumped the supercharger that was used to fill in for the measly electric and OHH the BHP is now 455 .... this is a seriously outdated review but I support your enthusiasm for this car - or its up to date versions. I have a T8 Ultimate Dark 2024 model. :love it. It has air suspension which tries to manage handling vs ride and does pretty well. bAttery range seems reasonable (35 - 40 miles depending on outside temps) and it is ludicrously fast in Power mode.

[@cougargold]

Wish these wheels were still available for the 2024 I have on order.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

They do look superb - what have you ordered?

[@cougargold]

@@LifeInMotionuk I have a White XC60 Recharge - Ultimate - Dark Package coming from factory. I added the Adaptive air suspension and splurged on the BW sound system. The wheels are the 21" wheels. Had to get a '24 because they aren't selling '23s anymore. Sadly, it won't be here until July/August.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Sounds like a great spec. BW sound is well worth it! Enjoy when it eventually arrives

[@cougargold]

@@LifeInMotionuk Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. I've been driving a Camry as a commuter car, but my work has me closer to home now. Figured I'd treat myself. Really looking forward to the new wheels.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Why not! Enjoy it

[@andredg804]

Too bad you tested the old version. The updated car would have added relevance to a nice video.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

It would have been ideal

[@georgiosevgenios7510]

I think that for a video posted 4 months ago, all of your data are outdated.

[@elliottmiller64]

Test drove this last weekend and the air ride made me feel motion sick lol. Unticked off the list unfortunately what a stunning car though if it wasn’t for that I would of got it!

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Was it the Polestar? As I know the car I drove had adjustable coilovers, rather than bags
