Easily the best review I've seen on this vehicle. Happy the journalist wasn't gushing like most about a fwd based "luxury" car. Very level review and it's greatly appreciated. Great work!
Blake Swan just like audi a6 if you chose low trim and small engine.
@@wolfmannn2008 S60 is competing against A4, BMW 3, Mercedes C. S90 is the A6 rival.
An excellent car. I am 2 years in with my S90 and I must say it’s a fantastic car, real quality and presence. There really is a feeling of exclusivity that you won’t find driving a German brand from the usual suspects, as great cars that they are.
Agreed. I'm 6 months into my XC40, and I utterly love it! The world wide demand for them is quite high, so it may be a bit more exclusive, as it is also newer than the S90. I've seen two others so far. The few the dealership gets in don't last long. Mine is a loaded Momentum black with red leather.
I'd love to get my hands on this new S60, especially the Polestar Engineered trim!
@@jeffs6090 I'm 4 months into my XC40 and have really been enjoying it. Plus my local dealer wins awards every year for their customer service so that helps with any concerns for service issues.
What a beautiful car, inside and out. It’s just perfect!
Agreed. Great design.
If Volvo was a house, it would be those charming, Timeless and Minimalist Hamptons style homes. Clutter free, unpretentious, Comforting with lots of Character and feels @ HOME.
Beautiful car
Rewmains the most beautiful and innovative sedan/saloon since 2019
Love volvos cars ❤️
In that red, it just reminds me of the Jaguar XE S and I mean that as a compliment. It looks like a strong, sporty, soulful yet attractive sedan.
Balanced review. 👌
Very beautiful car!
My man, I believe you’re confusing T6 with T8 when mentioning sensitive braking and accelerator. The T8 S60 Polestar would be that animal with its more powerful and regenerative brake system, and wound-up and electrified powerplant. The T6 is a very lovely and easy to live with package; our V90CC and V90 R-Design are equipped with the T6 unit, which gives a nice smooth acceleration in in Comfort mode, or spirited take-off when needed in Dynamic, but not touchy or over sensitive. The brakes are great performing with good solid pedal feel; much better than those on my former P3 V60 T6 R-Design.
Folks, beyond the beautifully sculpted exteriors and modern well adorned interiors, these new Volvo’s are great drivers. One more thing: the crash avoidance and protection capabilities are the best in class. Check out the strict US IIHS crash test video, especially the Small Overlap; see how the Volvo is designed to deflect/careen off the barrier, rather than smash head-on with sudden immense impact forces. Only the safest for my child!
Volvo have made improvements to the XC90 but not advertised the fact. Improvements include sound deadening around the wheel arches, wonder why they haven't mentioned them.
That is a nice looking car. I’m not sure I would buy another saloon, but if I did that would be on the shortlist.
WOW! Just wow! I’d rather go for this one then the bmw 3 series
Rodel Montano right 3 series just to common
Very nice looking car, if I had the money to buy one, I think I would.
See it’s the idiots like Your Pal who always putting down cars like Volvo and what makes you think that cars like Volvo break down on the side of the road. Tell me something have you seen one Volvo on the side of the road disabled, if you haven’t then maybe you should not bring these comments on you tube. Because as far as I know I haven’t seen any Volvo’s on any road disabled. Tell me do the rest of you out there agree. Please leave comments. Thank you
Jeffrey Bishop I’ve seen plenty of Audis, BMWs and Mercedes on the side of the roads with their hazard lights on, misleading idea of reliability with German makes.........go figure!
@@basecamper7504 yeah, go figure so if i let say bought a volkswagen and own for a while, drive it everyday and all of a sudden my car breaks down on the side of the road hmm makes me wonder, why did i buy the car in the first place. well if i had the riches i will buy a volvo if not ill just stick either the japanese or korean brand
Jeffrey Bishop Volvo is a brand some morons just get off on with derision. I love Volvo’s - I have a V40 D4 anda C70 soft top convertible - quality and comfort abounds and the D4 fuel economy is excellent without sacrificing power when needed. I also like Subaru but not the CVT transmissions. Would like be an S60 and hopefully will be able to afford an electric one some day!
Jeffrey Bishop You can get really good used Volvo at reasonable price! That’s what I do.
@@OzBloke exactly my point
It is beautiful like all new Volvos, but I just recently test drove the xc40, and in IMHO the sensus infotainment system is very dangerous, a huge mistake by Volvo. Very simple tasks like turning on/of the AC, the radio, ..., are very distracting. Perhaps you need to get used to it, but the lack of buttons or even a combination of touch screen/buttons , makes this volvo infotainment system not for everyone. I like technology and am familiar with smartphones, ipads, etc... Test drive the car and try the system , I believe it's not for everyone. The car was lovely yes, but this is a very important issue...
I have an XC40 and the Sensus system is voice-activated to do all of the things you just described. If you can talk, it's not an issue.
@@dantonacci67 voice activated systems not always work well. Also there are plenty situations you don't want to use a voice activated system ie during a phone call, long trip other people are sleeping in the car, ... enjoy the car, it's beautiful, it's just not for me... good luck if you have a cold and the car can't hear your voice if you want to raise the temperature. I also found the seats quite disappointing for a volvo ...
yokozun32177 actually I find quite the opposite. Recently had an XC90 for a weekend and found this screen very intuitive and easy to use Its like anything we get used to after a short learning curve. Actually the Chrysler system is pretty nice too.
@@dsan2509 glad you liked it. It's just not for me. A friend tried the car and found it too distracting to operate they system while driving.
I'll take the Polstar, please. Nice nice nice.
They have come a long way from my 1975 242 LOL .
Is it front wheel drive?
I think it is yes. Hopefully the top of the line R model will be four wheel drive, perhaps hybrid powering the rear?
Only the T5 will be front wheel drive. If you go to a T6 it will be all wheel drive.
It’s just a smaller S90.
Volvo s 60 is very good car, don't compare the car to Audi 4 or BMW 3 please, this cars become simple, compare S 60 to Audi 6 or BMW 525
Tell me a perfect car....none of them are
It's not the most comfortable? What's more comfortable? It's got enough room and the seats are more comfortable than most in the car industry.
😉🧛♂️
😅😮😢🎉glood ar
"The Boot" Lol you mean trunk here in the U.S.
Sure, but this is the UK AutoTrader so why would he call it a trunk when we call it a boot and this video isn't for your market.
Dull review. Mark Watson is a lot more entertaining and informative!

I have purchased an S60 on the 2nd of July, 2018. It has just done over 5000kms. It broke down with a flat tyre while i was returning home from my hospital, both of which are hardly 2kms apart and located within the town limits. I stopped immediately, changed to the spare wheel and sent the vehicle to the service centre at Visakhapatnam immediately. They called me back after a couple of days and informed me that the tyre and alloy wheel have been damaged completely and needed to be replaced. I haven't crossed at least 30kmph speed on my way home and there isnt a single bump that could lead to a damage of that scale. So is the company fooling its customers with such poor tyres and alloy wheels. If a tyre can get damaged at 30kmph what will be the risk of getting damaged when Im at high speeds. This proves that Volvo cars being safe is a myth. I don't want to take my car back. I dont find it secure for me and my family. Its a disgrace on the part of your company to cheat its customers with such cheap products. The worst part is the company not talking any responsibility and showing its least concern towards the problem. I will make sure that I'd enlighten as many people as i can from not buying a Volvo car. Thank you people for royally making a fool of me and my hard earned money.

pruthvi uppalapati you suck
You are a Dr., don't worry about money. You can make more since you look very smart person. Btw., companies like Volvo and some others are in business because of Doctors like you. You are their target and they successfully managed to milk you. Enjoy your status!
As I've have already commented in another post, I had a tire go down, left rear, on the highway, at 60 mph. My S80 did not react in a crazy to this. The car stayed straight as I was able to safely get off the roadway. I'd say that was pretty safe for handling under the circumstances.
