I have a 2023 xc90 with Harmon Kardon. Do I seriously not have balance and fader options?!?
1:42 removing a lovely physical dial and replacing it with a piece of gloss black plastic is a textbook example of what's wrong with today's cars.
This Volvo doesn't have the ""Gothenburg concert hall" feature because its equipped with harman kardon speakers instead of bowers & wilkins. The S60 is available with Bowers & wilkins, it was just not optioned for this car.

Most volvos in the last 10 years you should be able to get the polestar tuning update and it makes everything so much better. The tsc and transmission especially. Well worth the cash.

My 2021 XC60 has it. It’s night and day when you’re in the polestar mode. It makes the car too high strung to use it on every drive though. The trans will hold gears at 4-5k rpm. It transforms the vehicle for sure, very enjoyable but I wish it was a bit more docile with the gearing. The steering in polestar mode reaches a level of firmness that can’t be dialed up anywhere else in the settings. It’s really enjoyable. Just wish they had a more live-able version of that mode. I use the individual mode with the steering at max firmness and it’s still far too light for my taste.

Those additional surround sound settings are exclusive to the Bowers, does not come with the mid-level Harman option which is how this one was spec’d.
Volvo really knows how to ride that line of making a good looking sophisticated car that's neither generic or over styled.

Right but the fine print states EV sedans cap at $55,000k. If that is in fact the case, only the Core trim level qualifies for the credit of $7500.00. Not the Plus and Ultimate trim levels unfortunately since their MSRP hits over 55k.
Got a couple of these at my dealership right now. I took it for a drive yesterday and its awesome!! It also has great seats with contrasting white stitching (like the old R-Design). I wish I could afford to buy it!!

The one in this video doesn't have the nice seats. You gotta get the Ultimate trim level for those
Volvo makes such pretty cars, love that this one looks way more aggressive
As the guys said multiple times, "It's alright." Pretty much sums up today's Volvo in two words. One day I hope Volvo will make another car with performance and driving dynamics that match its great looks.
The gothenberg concert hall modes comes only with the B&W sound system.

These cars are fairly quick, but you have to get used to the throttle input to maximize the acceleration. It’s not great from a dead stop. I have a V60 PE and it feels as fast as my M2.

in canada, volvo dropped the V60+S60 base MSRP drastically to meet canadian EV rebate qualifications, (even though only the V60 qualifies), and the sport suspension was probably a casualty from that.

@@akaridy8945 yes I understand because volvo uses a 3 speaker setup for the doors with seperate tweeters, midrange and woofers. Seperate subwoofer also it is essentially the same speaker setup in the XC60 as in my Range Rover evoque. However almost all bmws have midrange drivers and tweeters around the cabin but for the lows they only use 2 subs under the seats. Ofc that's not going to work as well for the whole cabin.. considering it's DOUBLE the price as in volvos but less good
