Do not buy this car! I have a 2020 T8 and the ERAD has just gone (had it since 2021 as a low mileage demo from the garage). Absolutely no help or support from Volvo. £10k bill for motor and transmission...it's that or scrap the car! This is clearly an issue with this model as you will see from the Volvo forums. Although a great car in most other respects, this should be a deal killer. Unless you have an insurance that will cover it don't go near this car. What is most frustrating is that I know that Volvo know this is an issue! My advice, go for a BMW or a Lexus.
I wish the reviews on these EV models would mention the cost required to replace the battery. This price will surely be factored in by the eventual buyer of your EV, when you are ready to sell it. I certainly would be wary of buying a secondhand EV, knowing that I will eventually need to pay a large sum of money to replace the battery. Something that I would not need to factor in, if purchasing a secondhand patrol/gas powered vehicle. Just something to think about when evaluating the purchase cost and the re-sell value of an EV versus a patrol/gas powered vehicle.
The engines are no longer supercharged, wrong info guys!
They 100% are mate
No long starting in the 2023 models@@justy5944
Have you considered doing a color pass to balance the black levels?
hmmm
@@PerryGomez777 Ahhh... the universal sound of someone considering something.
Volvo have been offering £6k+ discounts for the past year on T8. Definitely no supercharger (I own a 2024 model)
