    23:59 The floor of the rear compartment is raised, so that they use one floor for all S60s, from FWD T5, AWD T6, and the T8. The raised floor means that the battery pack fits with only a mild intrusion of the front center console.

I never knew it had so much safety kit with Intellisafe and everything else on it. Might go for the T8 Hybrid as used they are available for about 35K now. Thanks again for such a brilliant review.

    Wow, long and very detailed review. I prefer the Inscription model with anything but a black or white interior. The other two color options are amber and maroon brown. The Inscription has a somewhat softer ride and it's best to have the smaller tires. I just wish more people bought sedans in the USA (outside of the too ubiquitous German ones and the Accord or Camry). Most new Volvos I see in the USA are SUVs, not sedans or wagons. This is such an attractive vehicle as is the s90.

    There is only 1 reason a car manufacturer does away with buttons and replaces it with a screen. Cost! I used to manufacture machines for all those little button options and you'd be amazed that you would need a machine for nearly every single one of them. It gets expensive for automakers real quick!

      @rivervalegroup  Рік тому

      Hello there 👋 the Volvo S60 T6 is a great choice! Just make sure to request a comprehensive maintenance history report and consider getting a professional inspection. That way, you'll have a better idea of the car's condition and any potential issues. 👍

    • @rivervalegroup
      @rivervalegroup  2 роки тому

      Hello Mark 👋 If you opt for the S60 petrol engine, you won't get much vibration and the driving experience will be relatively muted. The 18 inch wheels promise quiet road and wind noise including at motorway speeds.

    Drove one, didn't like it, especially the R version. Too sporty for my taste, too bad it was the only test drive car, would prefer the normal suspension, plus all the equipment that is standard for a full equipped Camry is only 3700 thousand, while the normal S60 starts with 18% discount at only 34 thousand and all the equipment like back camera, hid display, electric seats, leather cost a ton as options.

      Fairly quiet but not as quiet as the competition in terms of road noise. Engine noise is most apparent when accelerating but not noticed when cruising. It's a 4-cylinder engine noise and the biggest weak point of the car (not the power, the noise it makes).,
