I got a Thunder Grey one last week. Love it. It’s crazy to me that this is the ONLY plug in hybrid wagon you can buy in the USA. I don’t like big SUV, and my first car was a 1986 Volvo 240GL wagon, great car and put 248k miles on in, so I’m glad to have this wagon and really hope Volvo doesn’t abandon wagons in the US!
I actually like the compact size. And the fact that it’s compact wagon. IMO it looks good and sporty. I like that it’s a plug in hybrid, probably because I live in a condo and I can’t park it in a driveway and charge it at home. I still think there’s a place and market for plug in hybrid’s and hybrid vehicles and not only electric cars The interior looks good and sporty. I do wish though that the screen is bigger and that the vent’s were placed differently so that the screen would be wider. Here in Europe the wagon isn’t dead yet. But like in the States the wagon has become less popular over the last 20 years or so. SUVs and CUVs has become more and more popular and therefore pushed the wagon down in popularity
Sold my V60 Polestar after 50,000 miles. It's a great car in concept, but it had WAY too many problems. Auxiliary heater failed three times. The sideview mirrors needed an exorcist. The center touch screen just took a dump one day. ($3,300 repair) I couldn't handle how much time this car spent in the shop, which is a shame because when it works, it's an awesome car.
@@simstu2 A 2021 Mazda 6. Not quite as fast or as capable as the Volvo, but sporty, comfortable, well appointed, and best of all, it hasn't been back to the dealership since I bought it! And I put $14,000 back in my pocket. Overall I am pleased with the swap, though I still mourn that the Volvo wasn't built better.
sadly, volvo has gone monochromatic. Even the few colours they offer are muted to the point of being a shade of gray. I find it funny that 4.2 seconds to sixty is no longer considered "fast". That is the same time as a Mustang GT.
I don’t know if a wagon will be practical for Florida roads it’s quit long I see this cars more for areas where I would have to drive long distance and not to much traffic
I made a comment and now it is gone, Ill try again: The engine is still twin charged on the extended range model, google it, why they changed the name from Twin Charged to Recharge I dont know. Its also a mid size car although small the length of it fall barely within the definition of a mid size car.
It is not to difficult to see that who purchase SUV's are basically purchasing a lifted wagon with a higher CG and grafted in extra mass and weight, the very things that nullify performance, handling and waste fuel.
they don’t buy lifted wagons or crossovers for the performance, handling, or fuel economy. They buy for comfort, easy of getting in an out/putting car seats in, and esthetics.

"if you're just not willing to drive a station wagon..." sounds like crazy talk to me
Great looking wagon!

The wagon I'd buy if I had the scratch. Nice review.

What did you replace it with?

If you can drive a BMW 3 series in Florida then you can drive this wagon as well; it’s not that long.
❤❤❤
What’s the tow rating?
It's not rated for towing

Don’t forget the Audi A4 wagon is still sold in the States! Same size.
Only the Allroad is sold in the US.
@@carbuzzcom and? It’s literally an Audi a4 wagon.
But it’s not a plug in hybrid.
Ironically, lifting the wagon up makes them look terrible lol. Low wagons are the best.
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
