Great review as always, but Car&Driver tested a 2019 Volvo S60 T6 and they did 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, did 0-100 in 12.8 seconds, and ran the 1/4 mile in 13.8 seconds @ 103 mph. Very good performance 👍
Volvo would sell more units if they upped the HP on their engines. Which means going to a 6-cylinder, turbo charged power plant. But it would kill the gas milage. Best seats probably in the business.
One beautiful car,at Australia the base model BMW 320 i starts at $71,000 with the very harsh ride and huge price with out the options added the Volvo winds the award for pricing and features here the Inscription T5 starts at @ $61,000 AU so much cheaper than the BMW the next BMW 330i starts at @$78,000 AU with out options added.Go for the Volvo.
My 2020 V60 CC is only T5 engine, it's very smooth and it will top out at 130, but I wanna do a governor delete my old Saabs would do 150 mph. 😇 OH MY HAVE TIMES CHANGED.
@@johngaudet6316 Hey John, ya I have a V60 T5 fwd as a loaner right now, love it, feels faster than 0-60 in 6.2 might suggest, kinda disappointed in the MPG, last monthlong loaner was a 2020 330i base rwd, and yes I know it weighs less and maybe a bit more aerodynamic but I was getting 31mpg driving it hard, the V60 manages 24.8, 50/50 City Highway when driven somewhat normally and start stop on.
That's a good question. From what I understand there are two ways around this regarding tuning to an AM station. First, you can just stream a station you like via your cell phone with whatever service you like. TuneIn, Radio.com, etc. Also, the S60 comes equipped with HD Radio. A lot of AM stations can be found on the sister FM sub stations. For example, in my NY area, 102.7 FM has an HD3 substation that airs 1010 wins, which is an AM news station. Of course, this all depends on your listening area and what is available to you. You can check out hdradio.com for more info. Hope this helps.
The B5 replaces the T5 and its only difference is the addition of a 48-volt mild hybrid. The B6 replaces the T6, which is not available on the S60, but the 2022 S60 still offers the Recharge (formally known as the T8)
Bextar636 If that’s your reason, then I can imagine that you don’t know much. Please don’t regurgitate the same old talking points everyone uses. Even the goofball that says “Rev up your engines”, calls Volvo Europe’s best luxury automotive company. Their prices are reasonable firstly , and the rest of your statement “ cost of parts, labor “, doesn’t make any sense as well.
@@sasothestrategizer And that's a great endorsement from a guy that idolizes Toyota. Don't think he ever bought a new vehicle in his life of any brand. Volvo is overpriced $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ never own one without a warranty !
I would argue that a negative point would be resale value. Doing a quick search of AutoTrader in my area(Boston/Metro West) it seems that this generation S60 with 10-15k miles on them have lost about $12-$15k in value since new (2019 model year). This was also true of the last generation of S60. No doubt, Volvos are great cars but I wouldn't recommend buying one new. Obviously, the SUVs will hold their value much better because of the decline in interest of the sedan segment. I would say if you're in the market for a new Accord or Camry, a used or ,better yet, certified pre-owned S60 would be great alternative and better value overall. Some that I've seen are CPO that are extendable up to 10 years/unlimited miles.
Michael Bonavita Now you my friend know how to look for a car. You’re don’t buy this car new, lease it. Researching is key to avoid paying unnecessarily for any vehicle. My true concern is quality when I decide to spend my money and I like being different with my vehicles. I have one these and I can confidently say Volvo’s quality and attention to detail is superb. Like I was trying to explain to Bextar636 without telling him much is if you want to dig in your pocket, be my guest. I have much greater things on my mind.

Another great video,over the years my wife and I have had eight Volvo’s and three Mercedes,the Volvo’s were easily the best cars.
I'm sold...this Volvo is fantastic, especially in black
I loved my Volvo s60 T6 Incription the drive is very smooth, with beige interior stunning overall gorgeous sedan
i am very happy with my t5 s60 inscription 2018 it is rather exceptional
the main difference i see is more hp and a nicer looking car
Reminds me old the Mitsubishi Galant body style.

Wouldn't 300 horsepower be enough? it's one of the options they offer.
@@napoleon950 I have the s90 t6 and it's 318hp and fast af. I imagine this s60 being smaller would be even quicker.
whats the difference between momentum and inscription
If you can get rid off the speed limit yea

Beautiful car, very unique, 0-60 on the T6 is more like 5.2 territory

At $50k that sounds like a chunk of change.
Apik Yo bro, Piro yo regane?
How reliable could these turbo/supercharged engines be???....
My boss has a 2017 xc90 witht the T6 and 220k miles. Has been extreamly reliable for him which is why i got a new V60.
Has Volvo caught the Germans with their pants down with this excellent car?
No, the Germans are doing just fine, smh.
I just found out that 2021 models do not have an AM radio tuner. How does one tune AM radio stations now?
That's a good question. From what I understand there are two ways around this regarding tuning to an AM station.

@@joecalavetta2180 Thanks for your tips about this. I'll check into them further. You've been very helpful. Have a Happy New Year all year!
And they only go 112 mph, my 2020 V60 CC is governed at 130. I wanna do a governor delete and a tune. 😇
Dab radio better
this place looks familiar
I want but my bank wont let me hahaha
Hara krishna Hara krishna ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
They've eliminated T6s..just saying
Is that why they are now called B5’s?
The B5 replaces the T5 and its only difference is the addition of a 48-volt mild hybrid. The B6 replaces the T6, which is not available on the S60, but the 2022 S60 still offers the Recharge (formally known as the T8)
@@goodsoccerkid9999 Thank you for responding! I actually just bought a 2021 Volvo S60 T5 Inscription. It really gets up and goes. Best decision ever.
That’s great! I want to get my hands on one with the Inscription trim because I love its appearance
What the heck is a "dizital" display?
I love Volvo. But we all know it's owned by China. 😔😔😔
6th reason not to buy....Price, cost of parts, Labor $$$$$$$
