Which Wagon should I get? 👇
Chevy SSR pick up truck
@@TheStraightPipesok sounds good I’ll get that
@@TheStraightPipesgreat idea!
RS6 Avant
Low mile Buick Roadmaster!
The world needs more wagons and fewer awful crossovers.
and "some" mid size suv
Yes I want wagons to finally make their come back
Volvo design always smashes it out of the park. Still the best looking wagon imo
You would literally have to kill me before you ever see me in a station wagon aka mom mobile lmao
@@AB20236literally?
Cts v, commodore, evo, golf r, e63, bel air, rs6, magnum srt8, and the m5 have all come in wagons and they are the most sought after models in the second hand market.
My C300 wagon is way nicer looking
@@slapstra1970I’m sure your base model C-class with the illuminated front emblem is so cool bro
0:50 that transitionn... 🤌🤌🤌
Funniest moment ever
My parents owned the 2016 V60 Polestar. Was a nice car but had an incredible amount of issues. Volvo tried to make things right by giving a lifetime warranty which would’ve been nice if someone didn’t eventually rear end us at a stop light and total it. I miss that car even with all the issues.
Damn. But good on Volvo
Yea no those turbocharged supercharged and hybrid engines are a recipe for disaster. Im glad they’ve ditched the supercharger and reduced complexity since.
@@poopsie117 I am just not sure how these companies all say they care about the environment when they create cars that can't last past 80,000 miles. It can't be that environmentally friendly to junk cars after like 6 years because of these engines' complexity.
Nonsense, everyone knows Volvo is the reliability leader!
@@poopsie117 Not compared the complexity of Hot V Twin Turbo V8s and V6s some German competitors used and have used. It was just a supercharger with some additional boost routing in addition to a turbocharger. Volvo also milled twin water jackets into those T6 blocks for better thermal stability.
Love the sprinter van wipe.. you guys are great!
That’s all editor terry!!
Ford transit
Hell yeah Terry!
I have the exact same Thunder Grey V60, but a 2023. It's a phenomenal car. Speed, can easily be used as an EV around town, great handling and it's a wagon! Best all around car I've ever owned
Same amount of hp right? I can’t find info of what’s the difference from the 2023 to 2024
@@Boogetsbizzy Yes...455hp, 523 tq. No differences between 23 and 24 models, as far as I can tell.
0k@@PJPHughes
How stiff or firm is the ride?
@@NativeTexan123 I have the Ohlins set at 9 Front, 12 Rear and it's firm but not jarring at all. Very comfortable as a daily driver and way more fun to drive than my now ex- '18 V90 R-Design.
I picked up my 24 V60 Polestar last month and really like it! Always wanted the E63 or RS6 but realistically out of my range. I love the versatility of the plug-in hybrid where I can drop my kids off at school or commute in Pure mode and then switch to Polestar if I want to rip it up. My only complaint right now is I prefer buttons over doing everything in the touchscreen
They even REMOVED functionality from a steering wheel button that used to work in Sensus. Almost a deal-breaker here for me.
E63 sucks by the way. RS6 is better.
@@timmietzhow does it suck?
Exactly! This seems to be the best of both worlds. Dads gotta have fun too!
The same powertrain in the 3 row XC90 is perfect for our family of 5. We drive 50-60kms during the day in Pure electric, then big trips on the weekend.
Get out of my dreams and into my garage!!🔥🔥🔥
😂😅😊
Many Volvo designs should be long in the tooth, but the designers did an incredible job giving the lineup visual longevity. I still love these things.
Such a stunning exterior design. Certainly timeless.
Great review guys - I have this car and love it so far, though I have very few miles on it. Quick correction - you can get this to drive with one pedal (come to a complete stop) by turning off "creep" in the settings and leaving it in the "B" regen mode. Cheers!
One of these with the Volvo 10yr warranty and I couldn’t think of a better daily. It does EVERYTHING.
I can only see a 5 year warranty listed on their website?
@@alexm3045 sorry, I was thinking about their CPO cars. I know they offer a 10 year option on the CPOs, which is what I’ve always said I’d buy. My mistake.
I am still loving my 2021 V60PE. I leased for two years, paid it off out of the lease, and now with just under 1 year of warranty remaining I purchased the Volvo-branded extended warranty and plan to keep it 8+ years. It's great, and even as much as these two bash the pre-update ones I love how versatile it is. Also, adjusting the rear suspension takes me 6 min max now I'm familiar.
Yuri dreaming of nicer weather with that shirt. Wicked looking car!
I have seen a Polsestar 1 a few times on the road in Toronto and it is honestly one of the best looking sedans I've ever seen in person. And my neighbor has a Polestar 2 and it is also a uniquely handsome vehicle. Super weird, I don't usually refer to cars as "Handsome", but it is always the first word that comes to mind with these. Super big fan of their looks at any rate
FWIW, this video is not of a "Polestar" wagon, rather a Volvo V60 wagon that is tuned by Polestar.
I picked up a 2019 V60 T6 - it’s a wonderful car to drive, surprisingly fun!
Wagons will always reign supreme. I want one of these!
I love wagons ❤ thanks for this video
I dig the wagon👍
I have an E46 wagon....more than 400,00K
250K miles of road trips and camping adventures.
Even though I live in Fl I travel north to visit family.
That pano roof...is perfect...wish I had one of those 🤨
Got mine in November and love it, so much fun and also super practical. Awesome features and amazing sound system. Also: someone else might have commented but the regen will come to a complete stop when "Creep" is turned off. It's great and that's usually how I drive it. Now other cars I gotta remember no regen :D
I have a soft spot for Volvos. Absolutely love all of the recent cars, specially thr V60! We own a XC60 for 6 years and its rolling just fine.
Overall awesome review, you guys really knocked it out of the park with this one. And yeah, biggest complaint is that removal of the drive mode selector (well and dealership markups on this thing)
One Note: This car does have true one-pedal drive, and will come to a complete stop in B mode, as long as you disable creep mode. You can easily do full drives without ever touching the break pedal once it's enabled.
Thanks for the seat heating ASSessment Yuri! I'll see myself out.
I've had the bell on for years and swiped away every StraightPipes video since last Christmas. You know how to get viewers back with Wicked Wagons!
Picked up my ‘24 a month ago and loving it. Formerly drove the xc60 polestar and this drives much better and quicker (with upsized battery and electric motor).
Two clarifications - 1. The car does have 1-pedal driving if you turn off “creep” in settings and select B drive mode…. And it’s great.
2. No options on this car… the price is $79k CAD. And what I can’t figure out is how the price is $71k USD south of the border (or ~$95k CAD!!!). Now Americans will come over the border for more than cheap prescription drugs but V60 polestars too!
Sounds like it could be worth buying one and going through the import hassle if you're a US buyer?
My 2018 V90 CC has heat, cooled and massaging seats. They work great.
This makes me miss my V90. Driving an S90 now, which I love. But there is just something about a beautiful wagon!
That scene transition was clean and funny as hell
The shoutout to the geese lol
I’m 1 of like 4 people in California to buy one of the V60 recharge polestar engineered registered. I only purchased because I work at a dealer and got a crazy good deal. Nearly 30k off msrp
How much of this was an employee discount and how much was them not being able to sell the car? If I could get close to this off it would actually make a lot of sense 😅
I mean, I'd buy one if I could get that kind of a deal. But at $74K, nah. I'll have to see how bad these things are after all of the leases are up in 2-3 years. I don't quite trust 300+ hp from a turbo I4.
Can I marry your sister (or brother) for that discount? Lol these look basically perfect for my use case. 😅 Also in CA 😊
@@nathanwiens108 being 100% honest with you these aren’t like the 5 cylinder turbos of the past from Volvo. These new engines are 150k motors. But if you find a T5 with just the single turbo and it’s been serviced I’ve seen them with 200k. But I’d still want a warranty or even proof of motor replaced.
@@BloatwareInc hahaha. Yeah I’ll give my brother a call 😂
Took delivery of my own MY24 V60 Polestar in Silver Dawn and love it. It's a crazy good car. Suspension is unreal. Hoping Volvo makes UI performance improvements.
How firm/stiff is the ride?
@@NativeTexan123 I’m in at 15 clicks from firmest it’s like a normal fresh sedan car. At 5 clicks from firmest it is more firm than my Audi TT RS. Very good range in settings.
That intro!🙌🙌🙌
Well Yuri,There was a cool 5cyl turbo wagon from volvo back in the day called Volvo V70R,You can consider getting one.
I just want retro design cars from the 2000s. I don’t want a wagon
@@TheStraightPipes Okay, the S60R has the same engine but is a sedan
@@TheStraightPipes You don't want a wagon!? HERESY!
@@TheStraightPipeshow about a Chevy HHR SS from like 2009? That's a retro wagon you've always loved! No?
Volvo 850R, especially a red one. I think you can get those as either a sedan or a wagon.
The work van edit 👏
Love the intro with the music. Much better than the AI voice overs
Yuri has to get a Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon I have a 94’ and it is wicked. LT1 V8, Air ride suspension in the rear, backwards facing third row, and best of all wood grain. Please Yuri you won’t regret it.
I have a 2020 and it’s a nice car/ride overall. Great handling and once you learn how to drive it, you can keep it in the RPM range you want for better acceleration.
I like it more than my M2 for a daily.
I love this! This would be such a good family vehicle
The old ford van transition trick. Classic cinema
Absolutely love the rocket power "woogity woogity"😂
Finally! Thank you!
Thank you! very interesting
So happy Volvo is still tweaking the polestar wagon. I wish they did a polestar for the v90 and added a 3rd row
I have a 2020 V90 R-Design with Polestar performance optimization. I think 2021 was the last year for them. No third row though :(
That’s one of the best looking family🎉 cars on the market! Across all categories!
the editing is always top tier 😂
Honda and Toyota got to get their act together and make a wagon. A guy at my school owns a 1996 Camry V6 wagon and it’s amazing.
The Toyota crown, Signia or Toyota Crown estate is coming to the Canadian and US market and is a wagon/SUV. You should check it out and it’s a hybrid.
Wow, first new Volvo I've wanted in awhile. They did good on this one.
One thing that I'd like to recommend is a 0-60mph/0-100km when you both switch from types of launches. I'd love to see what the differences are since "others" I follow are based on "racing/speed/drag" times.
I do see facial expressions and commentary, but it doesn't give me an idea of what is happening based on older videos I've seen on this channel. 😊 TYIA!
These Volvo wagons are gorgeous.
One of the best handsome estate car ever.
I need a Pole Star in my life too :)
It’s a great car and they did address many issues! Thankfully they kept the exterior design, which is just beautiful.
Yuri get a 3 series touring before BMW also ruins the design of the 3 series
I actually don’t want a wagon. I want a minivan
lets hope bmw make a minivan haha
@@TheStraightPipes
This has got to be the coolest Wagon design there is
Enter Audi RS6...
YES! I've looking for a review for this model for a bit. Thanks for doing this. (Particularly since #savagegeese doesn't like volvos now, and I don't expect them to do a vid.)
God that ICQ notification sound kicked me back
Love this car
Waiting for the day I see you guys release a video for the newToyota Crown Insignia. Would love to get one of those after they’re finally released 🤤 while not a full blown wagon, I can appreciate the sizing similar to the original toyota venza. Loved the looks of it and think that would be the next great iteration of the car !
My favorite wagon
This is one of the few new cars I would consider buying and that is saying alot.
GodDAMN Volvo knows how to make a wagon look good.
@10:10 my XC90 has massage on driver and front passenger, and they’re probably the most aggressive I’ve felt in a car. I rarely use it but the days I do it’s a super effective massage. I think the only Volvos that got massaging seats were the flagships, so S90, V90, and XC90
My 2022 V60 CC has the massage seats. I'm pretty sure I had to upgrade to the nappa leather seats with ventilation to get the massage option, but I do have it. They are very good on a long trip!
My 23 S90 has massaging seats…definitely a nice touch
@@tjbonds5187 ah very nice! Yes you’re right I think it’s a feature on all models if you get the full nappa seats, because I had an R-Design before and it only had heated seats
Good review. I own the previous model you guys didnt like but I love. I got it at the start of Covid and got almost 18k off with all the rebates etc. My wife has the new one ( 24 in Thunder Grey) and while the range and power is nice the Google infotainment system is a disaster. Sensus maybe outdated but it mostly worked. The new one sometimes will not even turn on, locks up and the main gauge screen of the old one is way better than the new one. You can recharge the old one btw while driving with a swipe and push, the menus of the new one is far more complicated.
Yeah the new menus really suck
@Jon-ug3le - on the AAOS infotainment, how often does it not turn on, lock up, etc.? Do y'all have the latest 2.13.3 update, and did it help at all?
@7:45 The car has full one pedal mode if you turn the creep off (see @8:27). Creep is the normal automatic and without creep in B mode it'll drive just like an EV.
Oh man, those two guys are my 2024 couple's goal..
That is one good looking wagon...
Hear me out, I know you're not going to want to hear this, but the wagon you need to get is a B6 S4 Avant, six-speed manual, with a 2.7T swap. I was skeptical at first but I bought a sedan version with a single turbo conversion and it's the nicest vehicle I've ever driven. You can find them for less than 20K USD with fully built setups.
Now I know why you had pricing at the last, got me enjoying until then (lol) . Good one
I saw this release a few months back after ordering my 24 Allroad Prestige w Black Optics & while this has pretty much double the hp (261hp 273lbs), & the 0-60 is like .7 quicker, I'm still content with the Allroad & still waiting for it to deliver anyways 😅 the Allroad is still quick enough for dailying, like quicker than 85% of traffic, its 0-60 is like 5s flat & has more usable features than this that I care about like cooled seats, on the fly adaptive dampers, better rear room, better ambient lighting, paddles, stuff I can change without digging thru the infotainment + physical climate controls (huge w), visible rear dual exhausts, & then it has pretty much everything else this has as well. Do wish the Allroad could stream RUclips tho my son would love that. But yea idk Volvo kinda hit a weird mark with the new V60. Hopefully these still sell well tho bc we don't need one more wagon taken off the market. We're prob losing the Audi Allroads, already only have one Avant, then merc & Volvo wagons & that's pretty much it anymore shit sucks. My GT Sport hatch was like one of the last hatchbacks we had sold new here as well. Ik in Canada yall get a few more picks tho
The cargo van swipe transition 😂
My dream wagon
Ok the sprinter made me literally lol. Nice job Yuri
It was actually the editor terry!
What a legend! Good on them.
The wagon you need is the Buick wagon. Look it up. Pretty nice.
you can adjust the rear Ohlins from underneath.
as a 2023 V60 Recharge owner (non-polestar), the lack of a drive mode dial could easily be ameliorated if volvo would allow drive mode to be changed by voice commands. OR, if there were a customizable row of programmable buttons somewhere on the car's infotainment screen that we could map to anything. but drive mode is one of the few things you CAN'T change with voice commands, and the infotainment/dash cluster screens don't have much if any of the vaunted customizability of android on smartphones.
Also, y'all missed that volvos don't have Android Auto, only android automotive and carplay. my car's data connection is slow enough that Tidal will sometimes get it buffering. wouldn't be a problem if i could mirror my phone.
Canada got lesser trim V60 recharges starting at $59950, for maybe 2 years, when the national government first upped the price cap for the EV rebate to 60k for SUVs/Wagons. and I think volvo did that as a favour to the government, cause it got zero publicity, i've seen none in the wild besides my own, and I wager volvo lost money on every single one versus if they could've sold the same cars in europe. I've seen only polestars in the wild. which is kinda sad imho. they're a better car for canadian roads. all the power of the polestar, but all the comfort of a normal V60, plus i can run thicker tires/18" wheels, vs the polestar needs 19s to clear the brakes. they're not perfect cars by any means, but there's nothing else on the road today i'd rather be in for the money. ramcharger might be tough though, if stellantis can do that truck right...
If you want a wagon and a Mercedes, I can recommend the E300DE, it is the Disel Hybrid and it is available as a Kombi, it is really nice for efficiency
What is a kombi?
@@MrFrankieMatarrese Kombi stands for Kombinationskraftwagen, which is just a different word for the english word "wagon", i use that one when i talk about german brands, forgot, that it is not a word everybody knows, sorry XD
My 2022 V60 CC has massage seats! It was at least an option for that model year.
I love wagons
Re: the massaging seats, you can get massage in all of the current offerings except the XC40 and C40.
0:50 that’s a cleaan transition
Nice review, however, if you turn off creep mode (above "steering feel firm") the regen will stop the car completely. And all Volvos apart from the Polestars are available with heated, cooled & massaging seats if you order the napaleather seats.
I love this carrr
1:11 that tickling 😂
Do the new Volvo hybrids have battery heaters or am I screwed in cold weathers for electric driving?
Hi, does re-gen mode give you more miles per gallon (or litre) running off battery than if you'd just driven the miles (or km) without the regen on petrol? Does regen help with REAL efficiency? Cheers!
As a car salesman yuri would be a nightmare to deal with. But good video and sick car.
E46 WAGON Yuri! 💯
Man, that Ford Transit van must have a been packing a twin turbo coyote V8. Passed you guys with ease!
@10:08 - V60 Cross Country does offer messaging seats as part of the Lounge package. Yuri might be crazy, but not because of his seat knowledge.
I was LITERALLY just looking up the 2024 version last night and THERE YOU ARE!!!
Another great, detailed vid. Thank you so much!
Lots of little, needed tweaks. It probably needed and deserved an interior facelift (mostly the size of the 2015 tablet), but most of it still looks clean, nice.
Is it me or... did they remove the nice lower speaker grills for the Bowers system? I see the top are still looking great, but did they used to have the steelies on the bottom?
Either way - thank you again. I may wait a year to see if I can find one used. I really didn't want to get that T8 version, just too complex.
The bottom speakers have never been metal - same as on my S60. Volvo for Life!!
nice looking car😉👍✨
Volvo most absolutely has had massaging seats. I test drove an S60 (they didn't have a V60 at the time) that had massaging seats. I quite enjoyed that car, but in the end it was a lot of money for what you got.
There should be a option on the left most screen to disable all driving assistance. My 19 does it anyway.
Trying to reconcile the fact that you've got manually adjustable shocks in a $75k vehicle that is ultimately supposed to be luxury vehicle (albeit a sporty luxury choice). Also, if it ain't in "polestar Blue," it ain't coming home to my driveway. haha. Seriously though, I think this Volvo still has that Volvo problem...a lot of money and not quite as good as it's competition in multiple areas? Would have liked to hear the fellas talk more comparisons on this one as they sometimes do. That said, current Volvo design language is GORGEOUS, IMO.
Is there a discount for the Tuxmat?
Beautiful and fun car, great review. I’ve owned many Volvos including a loaded 2019 XC90, BUT, unless they’ve fixed their silly Swedish software choices, I never plan to buy another one. The two main issues involved the cruise control and the power locks. The cruise control logic is reversed from every other car; a momentary speed-increase button push increases speed by 5 mph while a long push is required to increase in one mph increments…crazy! For the power locks, when yiu and your spouse are exiting the car, you have to stand by the door and wait until everyone has exited and closed their door before you can press the exterior lock button to lock the doors. On every other car, you can exit and push the lock button, then when everyone else closes their doors, the doors lock. These are minor but very aggravating issues that you have to deal with every day. A deal breaker for me and my wife.
What is this new word you started using, Piped? What's it mean and why did you start using it? I don't remember hearing it in any other videos except recently.
Hey Yuri, what's your actual height? I'm watching other reviews of yours and trying to see if my family will fit based on your headroom in back seats. Thanks!
The gear shifter depends on what model, you didnt have to doble press on all of the last v60s. But on some. And still now, some xc60s you need to double press, and some you don't. Depends on trim, engine etc.
