I have a 2014 S60 R and I bought this car simply because I’ve heard nothing but great things from Volvo. Test drove it and I absolutely fell in love. It’s been 2 years now and the car is still unbelievably fun to drive. I never get tired of looking at my car and driving it. Every time I step into it it’s very exciting. After seeing this new design I want it now

After what Ford did to Volvo and GM did to Saab I gave up on Swedish auto brands. Having owned examples of each brand, I was sad. And I have to admit that Geely's purchase of Volvo didn't inspire any confidence. But I was wrong, very wrong. It's great to see a Chinese company inject needed capital in Volvo while leaving design to the Swedes.

Sorry, I should have clearer, the S60's were the 2 previous generations, they were bullet proof, the only issue we had was on the first one, the wife hit something on the freeway and damaged a control arm, I was actually able to replace that at home in an hour or so, other than that, nothing, the XC 60 has been good so far, no issues, well not quite true, if you have the Volvo app on your phone, it will tell you where the car is and where it has been, great in many respects, not so great if you are stopping to pick up a surprise present for the wife.......The seats (yet again, it's a common theme with Volvo's) are some of the most comfortable on the market, I have said this before in other reviews but if all car manufacturers just bought their seats from Volvo the world would be a better place.

Like your straightforward reviews.

WOW, the S60 is really looking good these days...lol!! But, probably stick with the T5, because I am not convinced that turbo and SC are good combo. Super fun review!!

Mine comes in another month. I can't wait to get this car... I ended up getting the t6 awd momentum tho in red just like that.... That car is sexy

I just bought a new 2019 with 500 miles as a dealer car and I love it. This isn't the honeymoon of a new car, since I'm more of a sceptic. I've been comparing top end mid-size sedans for a long time and the drive in comfort, dynamic or if you set a custom/individual setting, you'll love it. Almost shockingly well rounded car! I didn't get the R, just the T6 AWD Momentum. Tons of tech, driver assist features, incredibly smooth drive, sporty enough for me and great mobile app. The UI was easy to master and the I don't have the B&W sound system, but the standard system is a reasonable 7.5/10. The digital instrument gauge/screen is plenty good. The seats and drive are miles better than the Mercedes C300. I had a C300 that was great, the S60 is much better. I was really surprised and impressed. To be honest, I'm not a speed guy, but I like to press it a bit and this is more than enough. The back seat is also much better than others in the class. I find the car much bigger than my C300 or A4. The result 9f the size, weight and wheelbase is a masterfully and smooth ride. This drives and handles like the E300 with much less roll. The customization of rlfratutes and driving functions are exceptional. I didn't expect to get a Volvo but thebblanacr of value, feature rich option packages and the distinguished look of this care set it apart from all others. Lots of compliments on the Pebblestone Gray color with 19" rims.

Love my S60 2014, this will sure be a good upgrade.

Just rented an s60 t6 for 8 days. I didn't want to give the car back. I thought it was the best car I've ever driven.

I ordered the t8 hybrid inscription last Friday. My first "real" car. Not talking about my current peugeot 208.

Don't forget you can have any of the range Polestar Optimised. For £745. Which increases the driving dynamics and performance.

Is it weird for me to say that as a 19-year-old male, a Volvo is my dream car now? Especially the V60 or V90, honestly. I have a soft spot for wagons TBH because my grandma always took me around in hers when I was a kid, but I must say, the S60 really does look sexy (as does the S90). And I must say the wagons look excellent as well.

In straight line, any car could be speedy, like my Partner Maxi form Peugeot.

Bonus safest cars on the road. I’m a family man that’s a must. Idc how cheap Japanese cars are, or any other. My life is valuable as well as the people’s lives that I drive around or whatever. Nothing but simple oil changes. Refill fluids. New tires. Brake pads. Normal stuff. I’m about to do pcv, timing belt, and water pump. 300$ for parts.. these are due at 80-100k. My pcv and belt look great hence why I’m waiting for 100k or anyday I get the time to. I don’t drive crazy to start with so it’s never abused like I see a lot of people speeding from light to light. I’ll be doing the labor myself. These cars are mechanic friendly , you don’t need to be some licensed engineer to get down on these.. If you don’t take care of your cars they won’t take care of you. I do an oil change every 3,000. Volvo manual says 7,500.. from what I know oil breaks down at 5k. If you do oil changes yourself it’s fairly cheap.

Martin Wehrend the additional weight is certainly a concern but I would argue that they’re more expensive to maintain. They’re really winding out these four cylinder engines, especially with a twin charged setup like Volvo has gone with. It’s a new engine so the jury is still out on long term reliability but I’m skeptical that it will be better than their previous larger offerings. A big V6 or V8 doesn’t return the kind of fuel economy that you get with a four but it’s also not working very hard cruising down the highway either. A good example is GM’s LS family of V8s-primitive and heavy but powerful as hell, simple, and extremely reliable. Long term reliability isn’t a concern if you’re just going to lease it for three years and dump it, but if you like to own your car and keep it around for a while then it’s very important. If it turns out to be a viable setup then kudos to Volvo, but it doesn’t hurt to be cautious when you’ve got skin in the game.

I'm ok with a 4 cylinder turbo as the base, and agree that it will be on par with what the competition offers. Superchargers for performance work better for larger engines, not smaller ones, which is why I also mentioned a supercharged V6 (which can make 400+ HP if done right). Another option would be Twin turbo V6, which once again can easily achieve 400+HP. The issue I brought up is specific to the Turbo, supercharged PHEV. Turbo and supercharging a 4 cylinder and give it a PHEV makes it seem like engine reliability and fuel economy will suffer. Most people go PHEV for the fuel economy benefit and all electric drive, not for how powerful the engine is. Successful PHEV's on the market do not have forced induction engines, and use the electrical powertrain to make up for the lack of power. The engine just acts as a Range extender to provide propulsion power and keep the battery sufficiently charged. This technology would also assist Volvo's vision of expanding their electrification capability, which is sort of their corporate goal at this point.

My bone with Volvo is that they have no real engines to produce or use as evidenced why they use these weak four cylinders and they then TWIN charge them and they still barely make more than three hundred horsepower?!! The Porsche’s are known for flat sixes. Mercedes is known for the twin turbo mag V8. BMW is known for the M edition turbo in line six. Chevy is known for small block V8’s. Same for Cadillac. Dodge has hemis. Ford has the high revving flat plane coyote V8 and voodoo engine. And so forth. Volvo does not have an engine associated with the company and they clearly need one.

Servant of JESUS CHRIST For most people 315 hp is enough. If they sound good enough (which they do), what's the problem? What Volvo are known for these days are 4-cylinders with turbo and supercharger, I actually find that kind of cool.

kamino78 we are talking about competing with BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Cadillac, and Infiniti. Just to name a few. In that space you need to have excess. Luxury ain’t about good enough it’s about splurging yourself. The experience. To hang with the big boys you got to come big guns. And the engine in the Volvo now only sucks but doesn’t even last long. It’s not something you associate with class and prestige the way a V12 S class gets the same kind of love. This car is trying to dance with sport luxury cars that pack way More punch. Weak four cylinder engines are the only options AINT going to get the job done

Volvo has unsurpassed safety. Nobody buys a Volvo for its engine. We buy them because they are safe and comfortable.

Dave Jarosz long as you guys don’t get the luxury segment. This is why Volvo won’t ever surpass the big luxury giants. But hey keep I’m making excuses for mediocrity engines and luxury attempts
