I absolutely love my xc60 t6. So can’t imagine the feel of this more powerful sportier design. It’s not just the drive of the Volvo. The interior is incredible and the infotainment center is probably the best I’ve ever used.
For sure, my favorite is the V60 Inscription with the Bowers audio and all the Doo Dads.
You need to try other cars then! Every adjustment/change of setting takes multiple screen presses.
Full satnav screen to change fan speed and back again is about 5 presses and time with your eyes elsewhere.
Yes you can use voice control, but feel a bit of a berk doing it with passengers in the car with you.
It really is terrible (V90 owner)
Rob Kirby for a living I am fortunate enough to travel. So all I do is try other rental cars. Cadillacs, Mercedes, Jaguars, Audi’s, etc. So actually I am actually extremely well versed in other cars. The Volvo, while having a couple of issues on its own, is truly one of the highest quality and smartest cars I’ve ever driven. They’ve thought of everything. My old Subaru had a great infotainment and touch screen (still one of the best today) but this is so much more refined. I know they’ve updated the processing chip to make it faster and smoother in 2019 so maybe you have an older model? I’m very IPad savvy so for me it’s a breeze. The minimalistic view this allows is second to none. Maybe the Tesla which gets everything right in this department. I’d be interested to hear from you which cars you think I should be trying instead? I’m open. So please feel free. Perhaps I’ll rent one soon and get back to you.
We have a 2019 Audi Q5 which besides the Porsche is second in this class and the dash is a mess. No touch screen even. All buttons. Crazy and they just did a redesign. You’ll probably appreciate your Volvo when you get a new car.
John Gaudet yes I have the inscription however i only upgraded to the Harmon Kardon. It’s still pretty amazing as Harmon designs it specifically for the Volvo’s interior, engine noise, etc. And I’ve never sat in more comfortable seats. They easily win that award. :)
Keith Reynolds hi. My wife has a BMW with the latest I drive - maybe I’m old school but prefer the use of a ‘mouse’.
The biggest issue is if you are using apps/Spotify whatever and you are in the nav screen.. literally 5 presses of the screen to go from one to the other. Heating etc of course is no trouble.
It is a great relaxing car, but the quality is questionable.. Someone else mentioned comfy seats, yes they are comfy but many (including me) have had new covers in a very short time.
Mine is an 2019 with 22K miles and is just about to get its third driver’s cover due to wear. Plus the seat base snapped, and it’s had 4 new wheels - the lacquer fell off the originals..
Many other things have failed also.
It’s a company funded lease car, I feel sorry for the second/third owner once it’s out of warranty.
Cheers.
my feeling was there maybe wasn't any electric assist? Even the basic T8 is way faster than that...at nearly any altitude.
I agree but also don’t forget that I know it’s only 2 mph but that does make a difference coz 0-100 kph is 0-62 mph but still all the T8’s are faster than that
You gotta stop breaking torquing because not every car works with that especially turbocharged cars unless the car has launch control
If you haven't noticed, Roman does absolutely no research in advance on any of these press events. The amount of outtakes must be absolutely rediculous!
Yep , its embarrassing...
Agreed, Volvos like very little brake torque, you want just enough to take out the initial turbo lag and that's it. I did 14.3 seconds in the quarter in my stock 2014 XC60 T6 AWD at Bandimere (near Denver). I later found out I had a bad transmission at the time, so it probably runs faster now. With Volvos, engaging sport mode for the transmission and DSTC is critical.
@@glsracer so the software was out of whack??
Tell me more about the bad trans..
And like you said. I tried 0-60 in my 2005 S40 2.4i. Claimed 8.9 seconds for the auto, I got 9.2 seconds. And that's with a passenger in it and a very bumpy road.. So the numbers are achievable
@@randomesteven3935, regarding software, Volvo has had an issue with their transmission software since the early 2000s. Both of my 2014s (an XC60 T6 AWD and XC70 T6 AWD) have issues with low speed shift quality. My 2001 had issues as well, though less software related since there was actually a design flaw in the the early 5 speed transmissions that was made worse by bad TCM software. I haven't driven the newest models so it's hard to say. My guess is that Volvo still hasn't learned it's lesson after switching to the 8 speed transmission since they claim the issue with the 6 speeds is normal operation.
My transmission had a bad clutch actuator, and the transmission was replaced under warranty. I believe it was actually an early software issue with the neutral control system that caused the damage since the issue persists (to a lesser extent, as mentioned above) on my 2 Volvos and every other 6 speed automatic Volvo that I have driven (and I had a lot of dealer loaners).
I suspect the low performance in the video is due to the weight of the battery pack, too much brake torque, and not ensuring that the car was configured for best performance in Sensus. From what I've seen though, 2019 T8 XC60s were only as fast as the T6 models from the previous generation that had the 3 litre I6 turbo engines. They should be much faster but aren't for some reason. I don't like the squircle style interior of the newest Volvos so I haven't spent much time to find out why the the newer cars are slower (beyond the obvious battery weight penalty) because I don't plan to buy one.
So, the video actually showed
i noticed the same. xc60 done that test
I wondered that as well. If this car is doing 7.45 something is wrong with it.
Small correction from an T8 Driver for more than 180.ooo km: The ICE under the hood does'nt produce 400HP its the combined Power of both engines, the ICE and the EV. Same with max torque
If you want to achieve fast acceleration times make shure, that the Battery is fully chraged and use the Drive-Mode Power.
Exactly this! (Fellow T8 owner here!) If you want maximum performance you need to be driving in Power and it will keep some reserve for performance (and use the engine to recharge the battery on every deceleration in addition to regenerative braking) - this is what enables full performance. If you do a range-maxed drive and then put it into Power you're going to need to the battery and motor cool enough and also with enough charge to get maximum performance.
I noticed the actual time in the video for the 0-100kmh run was also only 6seconds and not the near 8-seconds they claimed... I doubt the video editor made the mistake considering you have to use timestamps to keep the audio in sync, so it was a clear measurement issue.
@@looncraz so if you forgot to be in the right mode while overtaking... you are dead...
Strange because most of the cars with different engine settings still give access to the full performance when kicking down to be safe. Seems Volvo is not doing so.
@@jeanbaptistelabelle No, the car produces a shit ton of power when passing regardless of the mode you are in - even in eco, floor it at speed and you will have the power come on.
Also, due to the pedal feel, steering, sound, and instrument/console changes between modes, you never forget what mode you're in. Ever.
The T8 simply produces full performance at low to mid RPMs - from a standstill - in Power mode, the power band moves high - very high - when the only thing providing boost is the turbo, but it's still there when you floor it... but there's a definite turbo lag.
The supercharger + turbo + electric motor are all engaged at the same time in Power mode on launch.. and ONLY in Power mode. In essence, the supercharger is off in every other mode, but the rear electric motor's 87HP still means you have ~320HP and about 400lbft of torque available, but only when floored and only with some delay - just like every other turbo car that has an additional 87HP rear motor...
I got 26.1MPG average over the last 26,000 miles as well... which is just amazing for a 6,000lbs+ vehicle.
@@looncraz I just got a t8. I would not have guessed the power mode makes much of a diff as it never has in my other cars including a 2018 t5, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Only got two days ago so haven’t played around with the modes much yet.
I’m assuming that even if I run pure down to an “empty” battery the car keeps enough in the pack in reserve for at least one good burst of speed if requested.
@@patty109109 You'll undoubtedly love your T8 - it's a different beast from the T5/6, that's for sure! The car will never truly allow the battery go too low, there's always energy left to assist the rear wheels.
If you use the "Driver Performance" applet you can watch the magic going on behind the scenes - when running on a low battery it will start the engine and recharge the battery with the integrated 30HP starter/generator... it's also the fastest way to get any charge into the battery - way faster than the wall charger.
You may notice that the car doesn't allow full power until things have been conditioned - fully warmed up engine oil, battery in the right temperature range, etc... a bit disappointing that you can't monitor all of that, but you sure can feel when it allows full power.
Almost 3 seconds slower to 60MPH than advertised? Sure, you were at elevation, but that thing has two types of forced induction and electric assist. The efficiency loss for reduced oxygen should not have been nearly that bad. Something was wrong with the car.
Or the driver
He doesn't know how to launch the car.. "break torquing" doesn't work half the time. Especially with this car.. he probably slowed it down because he confused the computer..
That car is a joke
Usually only the Germans can do it right. This 2 litre doesn't work I. These cars. Even a GLC 300 without all the nonsense is quicker to 100km/h.
I’m convinced he doesn’t know how to really drive a car...he always get the worst 0-60 times
2015-2018 Volvo V/S60 are the last of the true Polestar built vehicles. Glad I own one of these unicorns
15 hp more is not worth a penny. You can't even feel that
You're paying mostly for the Ohlins setup, not extra HP
What about the torque gain?
15hp peak power. How is the whole power curve?
You’re not paying only for the 15 hp. You’re paying for the reinforced transmission and engine, the Ohlins dampers/Strut bar, the brakes and all the improvements.
The dampers and brakes alone make up the difference
XC60 is a beautiful crossover. I love the rear end of the Volvo it's a pretty car looks so outstanding on inside more on outside of exterior.
Crossover? It's a Mid sized SUV in Europe...
Icenberg we’ve got large roads and large vehicles to match
🤣
@@bschell1969 You mean fat asses and big burgers to match?
Icenberg whatever makes your day buddy. Europe isn’t too far behind on the fat asses anymore.
Wouldnt the supercharger and EV offset being a mile above sea level considering those aspect arent effected by air pressure?
Kyle R Alex on Autos saw sub 5second 0-60 around sea level in XC60 T8. He also saw the SQ5 consistently run slower than Audi’s claims.
Most likely user error caused the result...
Turbo lag and not as dense air feeding the turbo
Ugh I forgot my name brake torquing it when cars computer is not expecting that more likely.
@@gsjourney3054 No turbo lag on these cars in Power/Polestar mode - supercharger boosts low, with the electric motor assisting with full torque from a stand still, with the turbo building boost and then the supercharger switching off at high RPM. The drivetrain feels like a naturally aspirated V8 mated to a shockingly smooth automatic transmission. You can hear the difference in the sound engine makes as well.
In hybrid, which I suspect the 0-60 times were actually measured with, the supercharger is essentially turned off, the electric motor is in a more eco-oriented mode, and the turbo lag is very evident - you can feel when the turbo hits, such as when you gun it to get on the highway... but you're really only playing with about 300HP when you're in this mode, which is the default mode the car starts in (it doesn't remember the last mode).
Was it in power mode. That makes a huge difference !!
I definitely prefer the sound of the V6 from the SQ5! Volvo is more techie!
Strippers are gonna love this vehicle! (Polestar)
Uhhh neither if I want a sporty mid size suv with plenty of power and going to spend 75k or better i get a used trackhawk with like 10k on it and have way more fun or even a srt jeep or Durango and save 5k - 10k
Go outside get under the hood to adjust the suspension? "Kinda old school?" I stopped reading right there. Also, turbo charged and supercharged and still slow at altitude? Sorta defeats the purpose. I'm thinking Audi doesn't have anything to worry about from the Swedes anytime soon.
Not surprised. The XC60 T5 is at least 2-3 seconds slower than advertised. I tested a few of them with Dragy, and results were the same.
There was no Polestar blue anywhere. :(
They need to bring back the rebel blue color. They also need aggressive rear diffuser & exhaust tails pipe.
"But isn't that a bit old school?"
CUT!!!!
Don't brake torque it. The brake disables the throttle for safety. Just put the auto brake on. Push the throttle to the floor. My t6 polestar xc60 does 0-100 kph in 5.3 seconds at 1100 meters above sea level.
i had two volvo, great car
My 2020 T5 Polestar Engineered Upgrade is faster by almost half second!!! What went wrong. ?
Apart from altitude but would that make such a difference? UK Wales.
Most likely user error...
@@fillerf ... YES, have to agree. lol
you guys just added E-AWD for the sake if it no one calls it that, my wife's 2019 xc60 t8 polestar is just that
That’s what it’s says on the car’s sticker. We didn’t add it, Volvo did!
I'm waiting to see an off-road test of that volvo !! (also a rollers test )!
I’ve had a 2017 2.0 polestar engineered v60, it was ok, but no where near as quick as the brochure stated. Plus it constantly had a known fault with the supercharger/turbocharged design, still present in all current t6 models. Look up supercharger bypass valve issue....... instead I got an BMW X3M40i fully loaded for less than this xc60 or V60 polestar engineered and it is literally better in every way. It will hit 0-100 in 4.7 seconds all day every day, and the exhaust note is even better than current M3 competition. It will out handle this and the v60 with ohlins, despite the higher center of gravity. How will Volvo ever sell one of these? Research forums before buying any cars..... you will get the real reviews
just for chuckles i ran 15.89@89.9 with my stock e320 mb with180k miles it get 32mpg on a trip it is 20 years old now have never got stuck in the snow .If that volvo has 415 hp are they ponys carrying crates of batteries
We have an XC60 T6 r-design. We do like the vehicle, but opted not to get the T8 because of the disconjointed driving experience. It's a mess imho. Volvo needs another engine. The 4cyl does not have a refined feeling that a "luxury" suv should have. And somebody mentioned the infotainment? It's usuable, but far from the best. Having everything in one screen sounds like a good idea, but sucks in reality.
Once you get accustomed to the T8 there's no going back to a T6. Had a loaner T6 while my T8 was getting service and was shocked by how little power the T6 had.
Volvo claims a 0-60 in 4sec and you get nearly 8sec run.... probably shouldn’t be trying to test 0-60 at such high altitudes. #pointless
What he tested was 0 to 100 kph not 0 to 60 kph.
@@jhw6540 0-60mph is about the same as 0-100kph. My XC90 T8 polestar does 0-100kph in 5.5 secs - something is definitely wrong with this car
JH W - 0-100 kph is 0-62 mph. At no point did they test 0-60 kph.
So Polestar Engineered cars are really test vehicles for the FULLY electric Polestar brand coming out soon in the US?
I wonder if having a second person makes it accelerate less quickly.
1/4 mile in almost 16 seconds?? A 1970's fud-mobile can do that. What the heck? Any model/engine of the Suburban is faster.
I want to like your videos so bad, but time and time again, you don't deliver information accurately. To say, the engine outputs 415hp is not correct. It has combined output of 415hp, and at no point in the rev range does it actually put down 415hp. Hybrids don't work that way.
Also, you can't do accurate 0-60 runs with an entire 200lb human in the passenger seat, above sea level or not. It's a hybrid... Why are you brake torquing it? You need that torque the electric motors create from idle. There just seems to be way too many missteps in your videos, and it seems you do zero research ahead of time.
So based on your test, my 2015 Grand Cherokee Diesel is faster with 6.9 seconds.. I don't have gold seatbelts tho..
It was so slow beacuse they did the test 1 mile (1.6km) above sea level so cars perform really bad, but if they did it at sea level it could've done 4,9 seconds
CarGuy 2002 sea level does not impact turbo/supercharged engines
I tested it. Does 5.1 seconds to 100 km/h. This guy either doesn’t know how to Launch Control a car or there was something with the car (keep in mind it’s a press car that has surely not been through the whole break in progress)
So SUV is renamed as CROSSOVER now?
Chinese owned but built where? How much content is from China and what are tariffs doing to the price of the car?
Aussie2u I have read about where its final assembly is and it really difficult to find out. I recently went to a Volvo dealership in my area and it ranges from Final Assembly in China or Sweden when looking at the sticker on the window. It also depends what model you get: eg petrol model final assembly in China while the hybrid and plugin hybrid final assembly in Sweden.
Aussie2u Forgot to add they have the percentage of where the parts are made in China, Sweden, United States (less than 2%), Canada, Mexico, etc.
Would you prefer a Chinese-owned company but built in sweden/us? Or german company but built in Mexico?
Sweden for most, and South Carolina for the S60
Great video... I wouldn't buy that car if I had the cash to pay for it. I don't see Volvo being something I would drive. If you had a Volvo before and want to stick with the brand I can see that but for the money there is much nicer cars like the SQ5 that is more luxury and performance. Thats going to be my next car if I can afford it or the VW Atlas Premium 6 seater.
Altitude afectss very little With turbos in the engine at 1 mile
I was thinking the same thing. Its doubly force inducted, either the numbers are way wrong by Volvo or he didnt do the launch correctly. However he did say he did several runs but still if its not right. But then the Volvo guy was there w/ him to instruct him on how to properly do it. I dunno im dubious.
@@aurorajones8481 A BMW X6 M with 575 HP does 4.5 sec 0 to 60 mph !!
I live at 3 mile altitude and the X6 M that I had it performed almost the same as a sea level .
Regards !!
@@aurorajones8481 My XC90 T8 does 0-60 in about 5.8~6.0 seconds (my measurement) at 600ft ASL, so there's no way the XC60 T8 Polestar is doing worse than that given its lighter weight and higher power.
Bad tires/traction, cold engine, wrong drive mode... hot battery... something caused the electric motor to not contribute or the supercharger to not engage. The traction control is also rather aggressive in these cars, so when you lose traction power is cut for a second before being feathered back on - my 2006 S80 does the same thing, but it's less well isolated so it's easier to notice that it's happening.
Lost me at the manual suspension adjustments....my Lexus has auto. I don't want to climb under the hood at a stop light to get it into sport +. Second point to ponder, that 7.45 0-60 is horrible, there's no explaining that away. My 2011 x3, 28i was faster than that....unacceptable for that amount of money.
Why did they not use yellow stitching at least on the steering wheel? 🤦
That 4cyl engine sounded like it was missing one...
Wow, that was slow AF even at that elevation.
Can you do The new Dacia duster four-wheel drive please
No can do. We don’t get it in North America.
Claim 4.9 but it takes over 7 seconds to get to 100. That’s more than just a little discrepancy, and I don’t think that being a mile above sea level should make that big a difference. That’s about the same speed as a Honda civic touring. How completely unremarkable.
Bad testing, plain and simple.
Great video and a really nice looking car... but could we please get more Jeep videos please
I want it.
73,000? Dollars or Yuan?
Car and Driver clocks zero to 60 at 4.8 seconds. I own this exact vehicle in Boulder and it's way faster. Something is wrong with you guys!
I love it video
You should never try to beet the train.
I had to check the map to find the airport.
Someone should pop the designers of that car in the forehead and say "It should had a V8!". Sorry to say, but this was probably one of my only TFL videos that was not fun or exciting. I think that Roman also seemed as though he was not exactly excited about this car. I think that this car is just not that inspired. Over$70k for a car that could probably be out shined by a $40k Subaru with a turbo
Jeremy Watkins, shit, I had an 04 WRX and stock it was quicker to 60 and through the 1/4 mile than this.
@@awdanthony that's the truth. I had a 98 NA Impreza that ran 1 second slower, in Colorado over 1 mile above sea level, than that new Volvo. Your car would spank this new Volvo
Id it had a V8, it would be slower. 😁
Pretty sure nobody test 0-100 time with a passenger and at 5000 ft elevation.
They straight up lied about the acceleration, the video itself demonstrates sub 6 seconds. Probably just started the clock early.
The supercharger, turbo, and electric drive pretty much make up for the altitude... and a 200lb passenger doesn't mean much, either.
73k for an XC60? Not a chance. After 3 years with my XC60 lease, I couldn't wait for the day to turn it back in. Way overrated and priced.
Unimpressive performance for that price
Because the video is wrong.
The t8 normally gets from 0-100kph in just around 5 secs, 5.5 max. And the people saying the polestar optimization isn’t worth it, has clearly never tried driving a car that has been optimized.
I'm just trying to figure out how this 4-cyl. p.o.s. costs more than a Mercedes GLC63 AMG and an X3 M.. mind-blowing!
It depends where you are. Here in Australia, it is like 5k cheaper than X3 M and GLC63...
You needs lotssss of money for a car like that. And those with lotssss of money will not go for a car like that. So what market are you aiming at???
Hi from Sweden :0)
Runs a car channel on youtube....
Brake torques a hybrid car...
Where's the face palm emoji?!?
Guys... I can not understand... If you want comfort and safety car... Volvo is good option for you... If you want speed, wtf are u looking volvo... Go buy lamburgini and dont talk shits... You have bmw.... They concentrate on speed more than volvo... Volvo is way much better in some other stufs... Simply if u want speed and crazy and wild driving, just pass volvo's shop...
Big ass brakes haha my favorite description ha keep it up
An example of when you're trying too hard. I like volvo but wow, the cost and the maintenance down the road? Does this really fit in to the competition?
Confusing name indeed, but those wheels!
No one "races" a hybrid vehicle in a quarter mile.
What? What happened to all that HP & torque this thing supposedly has?! My RX 450h can match those anemic 0-60 times & cost about half the price! NOT impressed.
It's called flawed testing, I have an XC90 T8 and it's at or under 6 seconds to 60 while weighing more and having less power than the Polestar. Probably tested it in hybrid.. but it could be any of a number of other factors, such as hot intercoolers, bad gas, bad tires, etc...
looncraz - ...bad car, bad owners, the lists are endless.
@@cmdrdarwin3682 Actually, the video shows < 6sec 0-60 (0-100kmh), they just said it was longer. Launch was at 1:40 and completion was at 1:46. They straight up measured it wrong.
looncraz - It really doesn’t matter. Volvo cars are problematic & severely overpriced at best.
@@cmdrdarwin3682 Biased much? Objectively speaking, Volvo has above average reliability with most problems relating to the infotainment. The engine, transmission, suspension, body, etc... are all very reliable.

With polestar I would have 8hp more.... with +1000€... no thanks!
That was a disappointing engine rev
62 miles is 100 km
Pink chease green ghost
I've always loved most volvos, but this is a swing and a miss. Why would I ever pay more for a polestar which offers shit for my money. Not to mention, the germans have done better.
chinese ..... i still happy with my Lexus RX450h !
Hmmm sounds like Volvo is starting to get lost
Why did the make it so lame when they had the chance to impress?
Pretty lame performance if you ask me. Would expect more based on the hype.
Sure I’m going to get in therear wheel arch when it’s all dirty.
beta male
Way to slow for 400hp not for me. They best fix this car or it will flop.
find a Suzuki jimny
Heavy and who cares. Boring brick on wheels with a lot of torque but still slow. Who cares how fast a crossover is.
A fast crossover is the new "sleeper". This is very uninteresting, but if it had 650 HP I would take a second look!
The exhaust sound is just terrible 🤢
$73k?! This is too much! Model X is better option!
Too much weight, too slow.
Meh
$70k for a 4 cyl lol
Mr_Pauls BMW i8 is a $140,000 for a 3 cylinder by your logic.
@@EDHBlvd wow make sure you know cars before comment on another person opinion. First its a 3cyl generator, 2nd that's a sports coupe designed for speed, this thing is 3900 lbs and a grocery store wagon, if you want to play with the big boys you put a real motor in it. Like the Porsche Macan, or BMW x3 m40, Audi q7. Btw all in the 70k range all have 3.0 V6 all with realistic 0-60 times not made up ones like 4.9 secs lol.
Mr_Pauls you think you know more than you do dipshit. The i8’s 3 cylinder does drive the wheels directly so it is no different than the hybrid drivetrain of this XC60. Calling it a generator is marketing nonsense. I guess it worked on a small brained person like yourself.

For those of you that don't value money and have plenty to burn and just wanna be different then good luck with this technological nightmare. I'd rather waste that money on a Jaguar F and I wouldn't but would over this mediocrity.
Another pointless crossover
Reliability and durability is ALWAYS an issue with all Volvo cars. Even for these new one...
Compared to what?
