Very classy XC60 in that color. That's more battery range than I thought.....might need to test drive one of these at my next visit to dealer.... Great video as always! ❤
It is! Maybe not entirely my perfect match for the age but I can surely understand why people pick this color, it’s really nice 😊 Thanks for watching and the continued support 👊 Happy Sunday!
Very informative video, thanks! Can't wait to get my XC60 T6 (delivery Jan/Feb) :-)
Thanks! It was an absolute joy making this one. The XC60 is such a nice car, especially this new T6. Great choice. 😉
I have just ordered one exactly like you drive now except Bower & Wilkins and air suspension. Like a child on christmas eve right now! 😁
Great choice!
Very good range test , thanx
Thanks Reza!
I have the 2023 T8. Love the extra HP. The drive is seamless.
Awesome! I absolutely loved the T6 power, so the T8 must be out of this world 😁
@@thom-lov When you have it in power mode, it just goes. No commotion. Just goes.
Pretty impressive mileage. 47 miles of battery range is more than double what I get with my '22 non-ER XC60. If I didn't know 45+ miles is now available I would be more than satisfied with it. With our driving pattern we've averaged 52+ mpg over 11,000 miles, better than I expected when we bought the car, but now I'm tempted to upgrade. With the new range I would rarely burn any gasoline.
The 3 layer battery was quite a surprising and significant upgrade to the T6/T8 Recharge cars. For me this kind of range actually makes me doubt whether I prefer a PHEV or EV such as my C40. Plenty of daily range and when needed petrol (and engine sound...). Can understand this makes you also doubt to upgrade.. Anyway, this T6 XC60 was great fun! 😎
My new XII 2022 T6 Silver Dawn, winter in Poland-temperature near 0 C or down, daily near 65-70km on Pure and small benzin consumption depends on outside temperature from 1.0-1,5 l/100km, if outside temperature is more than 8 C gasoline usage is Zero, generally marvelous expierence on Pure Mode, greetings from Warsaw
Good video, I just got the T8 and I love it
Thanks!! Great choice 😎
Nicely done.... Thanks for your great attitude and videos....
Thanks Tim! Happy to help and much appreciated 😊
@@thom-lov busy night working at the fire station... caught your video between calls. Huge Volvo fan. 2007 XC90 AND 2022 Polestar 2. Keep them coming. Stay safe, Tim
@@timdex91 that’s awesome! The first gen XC90 is becoming such a classic icon 😎 P2: simply great as well!
Appreciate your service, stay safe!! More videos coming soon 👊
I've got 2023 model V60 T6 Recharge (same engine & battery) and at best getting 35 miles on Pure.
Im from UK n picking this up next week. I've read the battery can only charge at a maximum of 3.6kw. Even if using a fast charger it will still only do 3.6kw. So it'll take over 5 hours to charge
Is it OK to fully charge it (because Volvo has already taken care of the needed buffer (18.8 Kwh, 15.5 usable) or do we need to charge it 20 to 80 for better battery longevity? Thanks in advance.
The T8 is really nice 410 HP twin turbo| with supercharger!
Zoals altijd weer een hele leuke video! Nog wel iets beter je best doen, Volvo_Kristian haalde bij een zelfde test bijna 80km 😉😂. Ben zeer benieuwd naar de rest van je review van deze XC60!
Dankje!! Haha, die Noren rijden niet zó hard als wij hier.. 80km gaat er op mijn rondje helaas niet in zitten gok ik.. 🙁
Desondanks is 77km in het Nederlandse verkeerd zeker niet verkeerd. 😉
Very good video. I am also very interested in the average hybrid consumption in a 500km (let's say) journey in hybrid mode. Will it be near 3L/100km or way more than that for example? Thank ypu in advance.
Thanks Georgios! My combined consumption differed between 2.6l/100kmh to 5.5l/100kmh. It really depends on your own driving style. When taking it easy the battery will do most of the work. When pushing the engine will kick in which of course results in more petrol usage. Overall I think an average around 4l/100km is still pretty OK considering its a heavy PHEV SUV..
@@thom-lov thank you for your quick response. Even if it's 4L it's still OK for a 500km journey with a full battery. Comared to the diesel engines.
Massage seats too? You may have sold me - at least in the US the massage seats are only available on the XC90.
It is still not clear to me what is the improvement made with the three layer battery versus the extended range released a few months ago?
Massage seats are available (here in the EU at least) on the nappa ventilated seats.
The 3 layer battery pack and 'extended range' PHEVs are the same. :-)
I also drive my recharge in B mode and have noticed its slowing down quite aggressively. Question: do you know if the brake lights go on at the back…? Always scared some half-asleep driver will run into my rear as i recharge using b-mode…. 😐
Understandable! The acceleration/brake circle in your driversdisplay has 3 'points' on both sides. When slowing down the breaklights turn on a bit halfway towards the first point, so when slowly breaking the lights do not turn on. Basically when it should feel natural that they turn on, they do. Actually tested this myself also as I was wondering it too.. Summary: works good. 😉
How did you feel the power was in pure mode? Enough for daily driving? Would be great to do a comparison with the XC90 Recharge 18.8 kwh for direct comparison on range. Thanks!
More than plenty! The new battery motor carries a bit more than 100hp which still more than many ICE cars have. I got along easily in rush hour driving only on the battery motor. Also the benefit of electric driving: instant torque 😊
It’s more than enough for daily driving in the city.
Hi can you advise on both long and short drives what is the best setting to go with. For example on a long trip would you use all the pure mode then hybrid or hybrid first. Then in D drive or B and the same when you know you are driving round trip of 100+ miles. Many thanks
Hi Mark, I would stick in hybrid for most of the time as that is the most efficient way to travel. On highways in D, on local roads and such more in B (one pedal). :-)
@@thom-lov great many thanks T8 on order
Are these the standard seats or the free upgraded sports seats? Im going to be driving 7-8 hours a day and concerned the sports seats may get a little uncomfortable on long drives
This car has the upgraded seats which come with the nappa leather option. :-) Very comfortable!
I noticed you said that the T6 is just a limited version of the T8? I thought the T8 had an additional supercharger. I have ordered a V60 T6 recharge which I’m looking forward to. Just looking down the line to see if the ‘limiter’ can be removed and tuned upwards (by non Volvo garages)
Yep! They dropped the supercharger with the new modelyear. Perhaps can be done, but of course will cost you your factory warranty..
@@thom-lov yeah would definitely be something I’d do after warranty.. the t6 petrol engine is 250bhp and the T8 would be roughly 350bhp.. seems a big jump but would love it to be the case
Smart! 😊
Basically the tune/limiter is the biggest difference, base-line of both engines is a 2.0 4cyl turbo. So I assume tuning would be possible 🤔
Hi, I'm from Italy and I really appreciated your video because I was very curious to know how many kilometers you could do in full electric mode. Volco Xc60 will be for sure my next car! Thanks! ciao
Thanks Carlo! Happy to help. Great choice ordering the XC60, it's such a nice car!
@@thom-lov Step done! I bought it, color Silve dawn, CORE. Thanks
Awesome! Congrats 😃
@@thom-lov Are you planning to test the also engine as well? thanks
@@carlovarini1814 Absolutely, more to come as always! ;-)
Dag Thom, heb je al een test gedaan met de XC90 T8 model 2023 met de 18,4kw batterij? En zoja, heb je een link van de video?
Hi Rudi, helaas nog niet! De nieuwe XC90 T8 is vrij 'schaars', dus zit nog op een PR/demo te wachten.. Komt zeker zodra ik de kans heb. 😊
Excellent timing @ 5:19: "Typical dutch day" while passing a Dutch flag upside down 😅
hahaha!!! Gotta keep them farmers happy lol
Based on your experience is the range better in Pure Vs Hybrid mode.. and what are pros / cons for each. Just purchased T6 in Ireland… thrilled with it..
Biggest pro is that in Pure mode the petrol engine will wait a bit longer to kick in when accelerating a bit more. A con then for example is that in Pure the interior climate control goes on eco an performs a bit less compared to hybrid. So pure is really for extending the electric range a bit, whilst hybrid is just the daily mode to go. I tend to drive a lot in Pure as it does the job fine for me. 😊 Safe miles with your T6! 👍
@@thom-lov Thanks Thom. I don’t see a way to default drive to Pure? Is it something you have to do on startup every time?
You need to put it into pure everytime you start it, sadly..
@@thom-lov Thanks for coming back…
Happy to help! 😊
How does the car drive off road?
The little stretch I did was very easy thanks to the air suspension.. lol! 😁
Een T8 is toch alleen de benzine motor die dikker is? Dat is toch de T6 turbo en supercharged. De elektromotor heeft bij de T6 en T8 145PK las ik op de site.
De supercharger zit er helaas niet meer op, alleen turbo. Het verschil zit hem nu echt in de software die het vermogen op de T6 simpelweg beperkt.
T8 supercharger with compressor 390 hp, t6 turbo…340 hp
Thom, wellicht enigsinds off topic maar wat zijn je ervaringen met de Volvo recharge all season banden?
Goede vraag Bjorn! Ik heb de Volvo recharge banden op mijn C40 en ook deze XC60 heeft ze er onder. Voornamelijk heel weinig rolweerstand en ook best stil. Kortom prima band naar mijn mening.
Wel een hekel punt, op dit moment (wereldwijd), is dat de Recharge band wat moeilijk leverbaar is. Bijvoorbeeld, Amerikanen kunnen op dit moment soms weken geen zelfde vervangende band krijgen ivm tekorten. Hier in noord-Europa zijn ze OK te krijgen, maar hoe zuidelijker je komt hoe groter de kans is dat je geen geschikte band kan vinden. Op zich niet zo'n groot probleem voor velen maar dit toont wel aan dat zo'n specifieke set banden voor onder deze zware auto's niet een alledaagse set is en een dure grap kan worden. Maar nogmaals, tot dusver klaag ik zeker niet over de set onder m'n C40. 😊 Hoop dat dit helpt?! Grts.
Hi Thom, thanks voor je uitgebreide uitleg. Ik krijg morgen mijn (nieuwe, 2023) XC60 T6 Recharge geleverd. We hebben hierbij gekozen voor winterbanden (ivm wintersport). Nu denk ik dat in de zomer de standaard geleverde recharge all seasons worden gemonteerd. Ik vraag mij af of ik hier blij mee moet zijn of dat een zomerband in de zomer beter zou zijn. Vooral betreffende grip en verbruik. Een all season blijft toch altijd een compromis.
Hopelijk is de aflevering naar wens gegaan Bjorn! Congrats met de nieuwe wagen, goede keuze! Ik denk dat je met winter + de recharge banden in de zomer prima zit qua verbruik. De recharge banden zijn speciaal ontwikkeld zo efficient als mogelijk te zijn, ik heb met deze set banden ook de 77km vol elektrisch gehaald in de T6, dus dat toont ook wel dat ze flink doorrollen en relatief weinig weerstand bieden. Ben benieuwd naar je uiteindelijke keuze. Grts!
@Thom, thanks! Hij bevalt nu al super goed! Wat betreft de banden, ik ben eigenlijk wel benieuwd hoe een zomerband zich verhoud ten opzichte van de recharge all season met betrekking tot grip en remweg. Het sentiment is toch al jaren dat een all season een slechte zomerband en een slechte winterband in 1 is. Ook gezien de hardheid en de rubbersamenstelling bij een zomer- en winterband totaal anders zijn.
Onze is nu afgeleverd met de all seasons en gaat binnenkort op de winterbanden.
Try Volvo's "AWD" winter, just crappy.
The MHEV AWD, PHEV AWD, or the EV AWD….? 🤓
👍🏻🆒️🔝
May I know what is the difference between T6 and T8?
Power output, the T8 carries about 105hp or so more over the T6.
