Volvo S60 T8, Genting Hill Climb Pt2 - 407 Combined PS on a 4-Door Executive Car / YS Khong Driving

[@itairusmihsah3770]

Even with bulky heavy nose, uncle handles it liked basikal je... What a masterpiece!!

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's all about proper weight transfer, using brakes and steering and throttle.

[@KeeNyap1]

@@YSKhongDriving easy for you to say bcoz you are pro. Perhaps on your next Genting drive, you highlight what you do at each corner. Eg, when do you release throttle and by how much (bcoz some corners don’t need to brake). When you do brake, when do you apply brakes. When do you apply throttle on your way out and by how much? That would be interesting to know. Tks in advance.

[@zickau]

Really great driving especially during the downhill run. Thanks uncle, stay safe!

[@Ldisidro]

What a nice driving, it’s so enjoyable! Stay safe 😄

[@mcmac9565]

wow uncle, this is the first time i see u drive on the upper section of the hills..where there r more steep inclines to challenge a car's power haha..this volvo drives quite effortlessly up there.

[@chongjiunkit3901]

2023 T8 Recharge Ultimate AWD with combined 462 HP and 709 Nm torque, absolute beast wearing a business suit, top class safety, at this price I cannot think of other better options. 2023 version has manual shifting using B mode with left and right shift, not too intuitive but overall a great great car.

[@harvard_lee]

Thanks for tip on how to tackle the corners. 😉

[@YSKhongDriving]

Anytime Harvard.

[@MarkTheVicar]

🤔 for an on paper monster it certainly didn't look like a driver's car, but for economy, looks and getting you about in style it's pretty good 👍

[@YSKhongDriving]

Excellent comment.

[@KelvKH]

Nice video as always.. Great content. Ever considered making videos that teaches average drivers how to better control their cars in event of emrgency? Aquaplaning etc? Or how to handle a front wheel drive vs a rear wheel drive car?

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's a tough job. I so what every one does, with a slightly different attention to detail and every action is according to the environment, and the same corner is tackled differently according to situation. Not sure if I can capture the essence of it. Not the same as on a race track, as there are other road users, and there is always the element of safety. But I will certainly think about it.

[@h830805]

You are really great AWD drive like FR no MR

[@baigui123]

They used to have the paddle swifter in CBU unit. Really no appoint to remove it in CKD! Selling same price some more. #volvomalaysia. We highly demand the padal swifter to be install back to s60. And volvo call button + Google assist! In s60 in Malaysia.

[@kenloh529]

Uncle Khong, they should give 2020 model with polestar for you to test up genting hill, 2019,2020 have paddle shifter, and you can choose Dstc Sport option for driving up and down genting hill.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, not sure if there is one here.

[@edwinwong100]

Power without finesse and control. I'd rather an Arteon/G20 anyday.

[@gurunathangovindan9626]

I reckon still not as good (and fun!) as the Audi Quattro system for taking corners hahaha - especially without the option to manually change gears 😆

[@YSKhongDriving]

Absolutely correct.

[@stiliyankalitzin899]

Enjoyed the ride, as in P1. The car seems good at the curves, very limitted body roll as seen from the video an my own experience (made test-drive recently). Perhaps not in Malaysia, but the EU version has manual shifter, gear in "B" mode and left-right shifts. Not natural to use must admit.

[@makwk]

Uncle YS. Mind putting a camera to show your foot work on your genting run?

[@YSKhongDriving]

In an auto?

[@tctham]

@@YSKhongDriving so we can see when and how you perform trail braking haha

[@John-us9rm]

Volvo is basicly a fast, safe and comforable cruiser. Not really a drivers car. From my experience in P3 volvo . Thats volvo DNA.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Fair comment. Top speed is regulated to 180 kmh anyway. The target market is different.

[@crunchtimeeats347]

No longer in Malaysia but remember watching coverage of your rallying days on the screen as a kid. Any chance of getting a Giulia QV for a Genting run?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Wow! Old memories. Would be difficult to get the Guilia here.

[@eliminatoroz007]

Interesting car. Did the power reduced at some point of the climb? And is the car handles like a proper awd system like Quattro or Subaru’s?

[@YSKhongDriving]

As the battery wears down it does slow a bit. The drive system is different, but behaviour is similar. The car handles okay, but watch the video for more comments

[@junwai8166]

There's a Porsche Boxter S in the opposite side of the road 2:27

[@pendekarbangsa1588]

YS Khong.....between Audi A5 and S60......which is better...citu used 70% highway 30%....business traveller need to go for meet as many customer as can...per day

[@YSKhongDriving]

Both are good cars, and are nice to drive. Either one is okay to me. The A5 would be more fun to drive.

[@MrZoff]

Nice

[@KeeNyap1]

Between S90 and S60, take away the size, based on price, drive & features, which will you choose?

[@YSKhongDriving]

S60

[@jhf4930]

Which is more appropriate and practical for Malaysia road....S90 or S60

[@YSKhongDriving]

I prefer the S60

[@jhf4930]

@@YSKhongDriving Thank you Uncle Khong.

[@fififafa5747]

Pdrm istana negara used this one to escort YDPA

[@syc92]

Imagine what's going through the S class driver's head when he saw the car that just passed him did a 4 wheel drift hahaha

[@YSKhongDriving]

Maybe he never even noticed.

[@jualonline2uchannel458]

It’s like a “fun to drive car” 😬

[@CWSern]

Uncle ys why this s60 got no paddle shifters? I thought ckd variant also having it?

[@YSKhongDriving]

I have no idea.

[@alantan9506]

ckd version also dont have and limit speed on 180km/h

[@ZiYiYeap]

First batch CKD with 250km/h limit have the paddle shifter (the one with R-Design badge. New batch have Recharged badge). Those without paddle shifter still can manual shift with the gear level in left/right, which very unintuitive to use to be honest.

[@izzatridzwan4167]

Uncle. Is it true this car have cutoff at 180kmh?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, but we never hit that speed so I don't know if it really does cut off.

[@alantan3779]

Mr. Khong, thanks for your review. Compare between 340i & S60, which one drive better because their power are about the same. If you are choosing between 330e & S60 because of the hybrid which is your choice?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The 340i is clearly the superior car, because the Xdrive is the better system, and overall handling is better. However, against the 330e, the S60 has a clear advantage.

[@alantan3779]

@@YSKhongDriving Noted, thanks Mr. Khong, very accurate answer. Hope to see your New BMW 530i & 530e reviews. We will keep on supporting you.
