I’ve got this very car and I love it. I guess I’m the sort of customer they target. The battery isn’t under the boot but between the driver and front passenger seat hence the stupidly small storage space which is the one thing I hate about it. My iPhone pro max doesn’t even fit in it. I think it is a handsome car in an understated way. I love the turn of speed that allows you to put the car where you need it. A lot of my driving is local and I run it in ev (pure) mode most of the time on free electricity. Boot is big enough for me.

Looks like a nice car

If that's a T6.......it's 350hp Nobby, The 455hp one is the T8

Bootspace is the same as ICE only cars wich is 529L. The battery sits between the front and rearaxle whear a driveshaft would be in an ICE V60 with awd. This awd is ICE on the frontaxle and electric on the rear.

Shows how poor his knowledge is, Volvo are one of the few manufacturers who are not compromised rear boot space for batteries, lazy journalism.

I've got the T6, it's 345bhp. Love it, so smooth to drive compared to my old Focus ST estate!

Reading recently about the xc40 having a very back paint job, hope they got it sorted for this model

Can’t you turn the beep thing off if you turn off the speed sign recognition by swiping left on the home screen?

Great video as always. The boot compromise highlights the issue of converting existing ICE cars into something they were never designed to be. I’d still have it though 🤣

Looked at one of these a while back and the boot was a no no for this size of Estate. Not sure what they were thinking. Rest of the car nice but a showstopper for me.

If it’s just the one dog etc it would probably work but yeah, a bit comprised.

​​@@NobbyOnCarshave 3 large hounds in the back of my v90 cross country and it's fine for shorter trips, anything longer and I drop the seats. It's a lot bigger than that tho. Every time I think of changing it I realise I'd need to spend double what I get for it to match it's spec and practicality. It's also economical for such a big car. The cream interior is what you want, I wasnt sure about it when buying it but glad I did now. Have that electric towbar too, nightmare of a thing. Control module went twice with barely any use. Over engineered, get a detachable mechanical one would be my recommendation. I prefer the design of the rear of this to the v90, slightly squarer and looks better for me. Scandalous they've rail-roaded everyone into suvs and stopped making estates.

I’ve got the V60 T8 455bhp and the badge on the video says T6 which is actually the 345bhp model. I think you would definitely forget the size of the boot if you drove the T8 as that is seriously quick and I came from an Alfa Stelvio Quadrofoglio. I have gone from spending £300 pm in fuel to now around £50 pm for the same mileage.

It’s my first Volvo and first estate. The quality is really good, infotainment works well and the engine does sing when in power mode. I’m not sure about the t8 wheels as on the video so I’ve changed mine for Romac Diablo’s

As PHEV estate boots go it’s still bigger than the equivalent PHEV estate boot of a 3 series or Class

beautiful car bit small think I'd go for estate superb

It was nice looking about 6 or 7 years ago. Design looks a bit dated for me

Press the left arrow on the left side of the steering wheel to turn it off….

Got to love a Volvo, especially when you wait for depreciation to kick in 😏

Got mine, a v90 cross country, at exactly 3 years old with 50k kms, as new condition and top spec from a main dealer up north, Inc 1500 I paid for extras, price came to just over 33k including vrt. Well under half what it would have cost new. 4 years later and I'd get most of that back if I sold it. Depreciation is the best thing ever so long as someone else is dealing with it.

The boot looks no bigger than my phev megane estate Mark & although it's adequate, it's not big!! Not good enough for a Volvo imo.

Another reviewer obsessed by the boot. What is it about boots and reviewers. Im just waiting for the saftey bings to upset you....😂

I dunno, something about an estate and a larger boot. There’s literally no other reason for an estate design

Geely are a good brand
