2024 Volvo S60 Recharge T8 - Luxury PHEV Sedan City Commute
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
At this point I feel like a bit of a broken record talking about the 2024 Volvo S60, but one showed up this week so I figured we'd go out and commute in it. This Ultimate trim with the B&W is truly the "ultimate" (ha) daily, and it's what I'd choose to commute in.

thank you 🙂
Nice review Chris!😊
man i would really love to buy the s60 as my next car. its electric range fits my daily needs perfectly and i love its asthetics & how they integrated google maps into the tac. too bad there is only 1 dealership in my city and the reviews for its service department... are not very good at all and i'm concerned if local independent garages are up-to-date on servicing phev volvos. love the video tho and thanks for always being so detailed oriented on your pov drives & reviews, it really helps me get a sense of what im getting with each car without having to step foot into the jungle that is a car dealership ♥
Love my V60 Polestar. Great review
The bowers&Wilkins system is worth 20k alone. Great audio system
the cutout between the cupholders and center console can hold most phones vertically as a slot
Volvo with the T8 engine is really common in Norway. They are truly the best of both worlds. Only thing is that you cant buy any petrol/diesel/hybrid car from 2025 and onwords due to the norwegian government trying to save the world with their «climate goals». It is also common with a price of 8-10$ pr gallon for petrol and diesel. The price might even rise to 20$ in the near future so people in Norway are in many ways forced to buy electric cars.

Trying to save the world through electric cars is just a Trojan horse to describe “get the working class out of cars, and make transport a thing for the rich. Make them eat bugs and live in 15 minute cities” That’s what they want.

@HowToSpec what's wrong with a 15 minute city?

@@alexbridgelal3747 it’s a Trojan horse for restriction of travel. The govt WILL charge you for leaving your hometown (ULEZ, congestion zones etc) or put up bollards preventing cars from accessing roads at certain times of the day. Having to call your local council for permission to leave your district, all to go to your electric car and find out the govt has imposed a climate lockdown which means all cars cannot be used. This will happen, look at what happened in 2020 for example. 15 minute cities seem convenient, until you’re locked inside your district because of climate lockdowns. Stop being so naive. Councils and governments are NOT on your side!

Nice video SubT.
U are a good driver ❤❤❤
Lovely cute Volvo :3 woohoo ❤
Can you do the same with a Polestar edition with the Ohlins set to comfort?
To me it is the short suspension travel that puts me off. When the car hits a pothole, the car is so easy to get out of alignment. I’m not sure if it is the suspension design or the material they use. But once it is out of the alignment, the dealer at my place just can’t always get it right😢. So I ended up driving with a slightly crooked steering most of the time.
oh how I wish my family’s Volvo S60 was more reliable

also curious to hear what’s gone wrong with it!
Do you find that there’s more resistance when accelerating in B mode though? I just got a 24 and notice it accelerates easier in D mode vs B, (pure mode) if that makes sense- feels like it’s using more energy. Could be the trade off to get more aggressive regen braking I guess.

Gold chain!!! Hysterical! 🤣🤣 that’s the bmw/mercedes demographic!
I still prefer the older volvo infotainment. Less glitchy. Also whats with the no leather stitched steering wheel. Ive got it in my 2018 rdesign xc60 t6 , seems like theres less leather on the newer trims
Hey Chris, Is the bowers and wilkins better in this compared to the s90?
@TopherDrives

It’s pretty close! I haven’t driven an S90 in a while but the differences among all the sedans & wagons are slim.
Wich car is better between this Volvo and bmw m340i?
For a few reasons I've come to really like cloth seats. Big one is the real leather jacket I got from a friend is fucking squeaky when rubbing against leather (fake or not) seats. But beyond that they seem lot cozier

As someone who builds Volvo s60’s, don’t know how that happened
Do the brake lights come on when you come to a stop with one pedal drive

yes
would you rather live with the XC60, S60, or the V60?
I like the car but don’t know where I would plug it up at.

Do what I do......wait until your neighbors leave for the day and then run an extension cord. I haven't paid a dime for electricity for months. It is odd that they've asked me if my power bill has gone up.

Well, I'm watching this now as I find out that the S60 is suddenly dead in the US. Shame. But I guess the low sales figures meant this car wasn't worth it.
These wheels were on an older model XC 40 and it’s sooo ugly
