I can vouch for those front seats. I've taken my V60 on some very long trips, on the longest one I drove over 900km in a day, and I felt perfectly comfortable the entire time. No back pains or anything at any point.

What a professional review. Thank you!

Amazing content and camera work well done there is plenty of potential moving forward

Very well made video. I was thinking about buying a V60 D6 but they're still pretty expensive so I ended up with a 2011 S60 D5 for 1/3 of the cost.

@@majkmajers2325 that's actually great efficiency, especially for AWD! I own a 2016 D6 and it gets an average of 4.0l/100km with daily charging (i think about 30 to 40% of driving is electric). The only problem is electricity is more expensive than diesel at the moment in the Netherlands 🙁

@@majkmajers2325 if I don't charge it at all it averages around 8l with FWD so 7 is great for an AWD car! Of course with no charging I'm carrying around 2-300kg of dead weight, so it makes sense. In my opinion these are awesome cars and the 5 cylinder diesel is such a smooth and powerful engine, one of the best out there!

Nice work. Perhaps bit more attention to maintenance and reliability. You deserve much more views.

i quite like this car. I own it for a year. Diesel heater is amazing too in cold winter days. It would be close to perfect if there was a choice to charge EV battery on save mode when on >50% capacity. The charging system is also a little outdated and sensitive to current disruptions but otherwise this car feels premium and more like a concept car I would dare to say

@Adam_G

I must agree with everything you said, it's a shame the on-road charging only goes up to a fraction of full capacity and it does not support higher amperage chargers

4:03 "Authenticity makes a car look a lot more premium than a 20 inch tablet on the dashboard" well said man, it's a shame this attention to detail is becoming less common place nowadays, even the newer Volvos look a little cheap and tacky on the interior in my opinion

I agree about the tech itself- it went a very long way since early 2000s, when luxury cars were plagued by electric gremlins. Although very refined reliability-wise, I find some new cars like the Citroen C3 are bloated with "safety" features that do not much else apart from distracting you... like the pop up warning on the nav screen with a chime that dings every time it thinks you get too close to another car

Hi, does anyone know where DAB module is located on this hybrid model. Thank you.

I have the v60 polestar and thinking about swapping for this…. Am I mad?

I'm always upset when I see a fellow D6 and they have dash on performance, hybrid dash mode is just nicer, pointless bubbly animation is essential! :D

@@barnazadori9227 I've had it for 1,5 years now, and I'll plan to keep it for as long as it just keeps working. Overall I am very happy with it. It's comfortable, and very versatile. In normal use, I am able to charge it at home, and my wife can charge it at her workplace, so a lot of our daily use can be done on electric. And on longer trips it can go for 700-800 kilometers on one tank of diesel. Now for drawbacks and things to keep in mind if you want to buy one. The earliers model years (2015 and before) had some issues with AC compressor, where it would fail often. I haven't had that issue, and my understanding is that it's been fixed or at least improved in later models. It's a Volvo, so maintenance is expensive. It's a hybrid so that brings some extra costs as well. The most important example of this is the timing belt, which needs to be changed every 5 years/100 000km. It cost me 1100€, which is more than double what it would cost in a regular V60. That's because of some hybrid system fuckery, that I didn't fully understand, but it had something to with removing the current and/or charge from the batteries before the belt could be safely changed. Second issue is that some mechanics don't seem to grasp that the hybrid V60 needs to be treated differently from the normal V60. This has been an issue specifically when dealing with tires. It's a heavy car, so it needs heavier tires, and it has TPMS tire pressure sensors, unlike the basic V60, which doesn't have those. The store I bought new winter tires from, and had them installed by them as well, just would not believe me when I said that the tires need TPMS sensors. They just said "but the (basic) V60 doesn't need those" and would not understand me when I said that the requirements of the V60 hybrid are different. It ended with me driving out of their garage, the tire pressure warning coming on nearly instantly, and me driving back there and telling them to look at it. It's not the fault of the car, but keep in mind you might have to deal with annoyances like this. But overall I recommend it, if you have the money to maintain it well. It's a great winter car as well, with extensive pre-heating options and heated steering wheel (at least in my model).
