Canadian Car Review
Motormouth Canada
Greetings from Greece! I have to say that although Greece is different to Canada in many ways, some of the cars you're testing do not exist in our market and needs and details a buyer should pay attention aren't similar between the two countries, i just love your video reviews! If someone wants to see racing videos, comparing what's the best handling car or which has the best performance there are other channels in RUclips - as a car enthousiast i watch many of them! But when you want to see a car a product that you buy based in some needs and want a complete analysis of the model, i think Motomouth is one of the best channels out there - that's why i watch your videos and subscribed! Keep up the good work!
I purchased this vehicle V60R design in Feb2014 and love it. Before buying I compared it to the 328i wagon and the Audi All road. This was by far the sportiest of the bunch. It was 8grand cheaper than the other two rivals but it did not have the automated tail gate. I don't drive very much so gas is a non issue for me. I love taking it out on the highway and throwing it into sport mode. It's a rocket!
I have not seen any on the road. My local dealer said they sold 1. The dealer I purchase it from has only sold a few. Canadians prefer the XC60.
You should have also mentioned that above the RDesign sits the V60 from PoleStar which has 345hp, 20inch wheels, tweaked 6 speed trans from Polestar.
The V60 seems like a really useful vehicle. looks good too.
Not having any significantly new vehicles has been Volvo's problem for the longest time.
A LOT of people are excited about the new XC90 and it looks amazing.
If they put the new XC90 tech into a new design of the XC60 that would be awesome.
Gotta love these reviewers who test loaded up cars then complain about the price. There is a $9,000 US swing from a well equipped R design to a loaded one.
Good review!
Nice voices awesome review
It might be more accurate to call it a sport wagon instead of "station wagon". I just took possession of the 2 ltr 8 speed and really like it. I understand that the motor/ tranny map can be upgraded with polestar software by volvo but I can't imagine changing anything on it.
Volvo is a European brand! In Europe we still love (Volvo) stationwagons! So Volvo builts stationwagons. And Volvo still is the best in safety. They have safety items the crahstests don"t test. Look at the V40 (do you have that is Canada?) with a pedastrian airbag. Volvo is still unique in safety, the rest is only copying, so one step behind!
You should always mention the torque when talking about the engine power spects
I rented a S60 Sedan from Budget , in Vancouver BC. I cannot believe how sporty it felt, with its AWD and T5 Engine. It was so well equipped too.
I thought all Volvoes are slow and sloppy. I have changed my mind, it felt more "solid and faster" than a F30 328i
P.S. I don't work for Volvo, just my own opinion
+cococly i feel the same way
It´s quite popular in Europe... An addition for the smaller family or adventurous people enough to pack their gears.
The v60 is going to be the car for the niche buyer, especially the t6 polestar r-design. Since this car has been out, I have yet to see one on the roads
@Barton he is in Vancouver, not Ontario.
wow zack! nice leather jacket, where did you got it?
Completely agree with this review. As much as I love the look and wagons in general I don't see a 50k vehicle. My tsx wagon came fully loaded w/tech and several accessories for 38k.
The base V60 cost 4k more than your tsx and is twice the car. The problem with Volvo is that the base has to be ordered from Sweden.
ldawson103 Your TSX do 0-60 in 4.9 seconds? What about awd? IIHS top pick plus rating? What about handling and grip? (not even close). Do people flock around it in parking lots like they do with an R Design V60? Nope. Yours has a better Nav system. That's about it. The TSX wagon is a nice sporty-ish appliance. The $50K V60's are serious european sport wagons. Those are never cheap.
No safety advantage, really? Sure, other cars also have warningsystem etc now, but still. If you crash, you want to be in a Volvo. Years after years they always do the best in crash tests.
Best in tests??? You have to update your info!
Well, Volvo V60 was Best in Class in European NCAP when it where released. It also have the highest score at IIHS (sedan S60 tested), ANCAP V60 got 36.34 out of 37 points.
Since I clearly need to update my information, please fill me in.
Johan Littorin Many of today's vehicles get top marks in crash testing, this is why Volvo isn't particularly unique. The whole industry produces much better vehicles, this V60 is a great car but other make equally safe vehicles today.
Motormouth Canada As I'm sure you know, they build them to pass the tests. Volvo has a long history of going beyond that and making safety a priority, not just test scores. Check the curb weight of this thing and you'll see they build strength in everywhere.
Motormouth Canada name one vehicle that has the wiplash protection that Volvo have. Volvo are the only one to rear end crash test their vehicle
this is one of the best station wagon, is away better than a cross over, i dont think you can compare with each other
I sat in new Volvo, also drive an older model. Never found these seats particularly comfortable. More like a sofa kind of seat. I prefer german (the softer ones) or japanese seats from a $30K+ car
I'd like to see this turned into a British touring racing car :)
btw, where is there a Volvo dealership in Vancouver... is it only Docksteader?
Does volvo no longer have the edge in safety features?? Volvo resently said that by the year 2020 no one is going to die in one of their cars. They sakd that when they launched the new xc90 so they dont mean this v60 but I would say Volvo still is the king of safety features and probably will be for a loooong time.
How odd that you are just getting this. We've had it for ages in the UK. It's a nice car. But you are so right. Money is better spent on the XC60. Which is why my parents have one!
pipcannon I have owned an XC60 R design in the US. 325 hp. What exactly do you think makes it better? I have driven the V60 for several days and own a 2015 S60 R design. I much prefer the wagon over the crossover. Unless one is hauling unusually tall cardboard boxes over deeply rutted dirt roads I fail to see how the XC60 is superior in any way.
Volvo has few detractors. Your a Volvo guy or not it's a very special car maybe just for long term Volvo guys.
Do you not get it with any of the turbodiesel engines in Canada?
No, only Gas
dont fully agree with your view on volvo as brand going quiet and people not thinking about them? might be different over in states but here in Europe Volvo since last year is really starting to gain some momentum with the xc90/s90/v90 and facelifts of the v60 v40 xc60. Yes the xc60 and old xc90 were getting long in the tooth but i think you'll find they were strong sellers right to the end, which is a testament to their design and quality.
Not many manufacturers out there at the moment putting out such nice designs, with good tech, good engines. P.s there d3/d4/d5 diesels are pretty good engines too, but guess thats not a desired item in North America
Its was way cheaper here in Sweden as 20k base now 6k used
I bought one! T6 R Design!
Wagons and cars are more fun to drive.
If this had the reliability record like Toyota or Mazda I'd be interested.
It does have the Mazdas reliability.
car isnt my cup of tea, but a quality review!
In 2021, and sadly the prediction is true. Volvo went from a wagon/sedan with SUV brands to an SUV brand that also sells sedans. I hardly see current-generation Volvo wagons. And that's a shame to me. I like this vehicle and the current v60. Volvo is on the verge, maybe next year, over going into its next generation of products and some wagons will be dropped. Even some sedans. While they're adding "coupe" style SUVs. Coupe style SUVs are even worse, IMO, than regular SUVs.
@Motormouth Your prediction about Volvo gping to SUV only slowly appears to be coming to fruition with their recent UK decision
for many people, stationwagon would be a better choice in contrast SUVs
SUVs suck.
Its funny that this car is pretty popular in europe
I care...My father had a 240 something station wagon from the late '70 and it was the best car he ever had. Pulling a hardtop trailer with 3 big kids plus bikes down to #PlattsburghNY You can't beat a #Volvo wagon in a 4 cylinder engine.
Mercedes hasn't gottent out of it - they have the E-class wagon.
'Lots of different engines to choose from'..but you never mentioned the Diesels, which are by far the most popular - well in Europe, at least..is there no Diesel option in Canada?
+Gareth Ifan no diesel in Canada
How strange.What is the reason for that?
Meant to add - nice review by the way.
+Gareth Ifan very hard to get diesel engines certified in North America, ask Volkswagen how that went?
I see. Though there was that episode with VW, I think the mindset against diesel engines in NA was well established before that. Pity, - a V60 over here with a diesel engine is capable of over 60+mpg imperial, with great torque. Lovely car whichever engine. Thanks again
Aaand we got V90. Volvo is the station wagon brand and will stay so. I mean, look at Subaru, Outback si everywhere and that's just a plain old wagon. I love wagons, SUVs do nothing for me and V60 or V90 is my next car (depending on when I'm buying).
id take a wagon just not to be a sheep. wagons and generally bigger than Suv's, there longer, handle better, are better looking, more efficient and cheaper. What is the draw back, oh yea the draw back is that you'll be different and not following the masses. It a no brainer for me.
Now we just need volvo to bring over the v40
Does Canadians prefer european cars to American ones ? Or Japan cars (like americans do)
Canadians are different depending on where they are from. In Quebec, people speak French and they like European cars and Japanese cars also but no pickup. In Ontario they buy more GM cars. In Atlantic Canada, the Japanese cars have the new and used market for cars but 1/2 ton pickup are king of the road.
serge vivier I m sure this distribution also represent obesity prevalence 😜
Yıldıray Öztürk YES
Canadians are very much alike Americans unfortunately.
thought volvo builds only 4 cylinder engines
the new xc90 will be their first car with 4 cylinder only.
yes ! but the others too.
forestchurch From now on, this engine is a holdover going back to 2011/2012. It will die when they redesign the S60/V60
The R-design isn't the top of the range v60 :)
Good review though.
What model is?
+rcpmac I think Summum is. We have the Ocean Race, which is a bit different, kind of a separate line. :)
+MrBasinator that's the polestar line, body, but way stiffer, I got 2 of these and loved it
Summum or R-design = same trim level
www.volvocars.com/en-ae/cars/new-models/s60/editions-landing/summum
Summum seem to be the regular model
It's awful they dropped there hatch.
Zack this will sell in Canada given our fuel prices. In the states it will sit wit their cheap fuel. Love the car but not the price.
What do you consider cheap gas prices? Even at $3 per gallon, which I'm sure is temporary,it still is a lot of money to fill a tank! I agree with Zack, it will be a hard sell.
Regular gas is $5.45 per gallon in southern Ontario $1.20 per liter. 4.5 L equals a US gallon. So our fuel prices are very high.
Steve W 2 usd for one liter gas in Sweden (and the rest of Europe)!! 8-9 USD a galon. You have cheap gas in USA! :)
Lungu Gabriel
Yes they do have cheap gas and it's mainly Canadian gas from my country. Ours is more expensive due to taxes.
david dykeman
Gas may be more expensive in Canada & Sweden but you also get health insurance from your fuel taxes which is something we don't get in the USA! Regardless, $3 is not cheap~~$1 is cheap!
I love it
What the hell is the point of modern SUVs? No off road capability, terrible handling, you might as well buy a minivan. Hell, that's what they are. Car manufacturers are tricking people into paying a premium for what are just tarted up minivans.
Neither do I see the point of sedans, they have deliberately less space for cargo while getting nothing in return. I couldn't imagine getting anything but a stationwagon.
To sit high in. That's what I hear from people who buy them. I won't be buying one. I do like sedans. They have a separate trunk compartment and that makes for a tighter feeling vehicle than a hatch or wagon. But the wagon form is the most efficient, especially ones that have some space between the C and D pillars and not a lot of slope in the rear door.
suv's are just good on us roads ,coz the roads are like shit
SUVs are ugly. The V60 is a cool looking vehicle.
2 years later, Volvo USA has totally botched the V60. Go to any lot and the color/options available are terrible. Refrigerator white with skinny tires on 90% offered. But worse, virtually no R designs available. yet every internet and TV ad features an R design in red. Why advertise that model as a sporty wagon if all you offer is mundane versions? Volvo cries "nobody buys wagons!" but every single R design V60 imported gets quickly sold.
UGyl
Only Volvo can make cars do 3 million miles so this could be very cheap
This is a tiny car for a on of money.
Ivan Vojt It's about the size of mainstream family sedans up front. Or bigger than some. The rear seat is a little tight. But a lot of people don't carry around adult passengers often. The cargo area is decent, certainly bigger than any sedan. If you want a car you pay by the pound for, there are certainly plenty of wallowing plain looking mommy box crossovers to choose from. It weighs about 3800 lbs in R design form. How is that tiny? It has 57 inches of shoulder room. A Jetta sportwagen is more like 54. An entire class smaller. And with real-world discounts, here in the US currently about $6,000 off MSRP after rebates, more if you already own a Volvo, it's not expensive at all. Mid to upper 30's for an i-drive E reasonably well equipped. Now, go price a Ford Edge. It will be about $44,000. A BMW 328xi wagon with similar equipment is about $48,000. Roughly $10,000 more. You get what you pay for.
Tiny? You must be 'oversize'...
It is very compact. To much bucks
Nickolas Singh Well, keep delivering those newspapers on your bike and you may be able to afford it one day.
Yet cheaper than the competition - Audi and BMW. But if available the Mazda 6 wagon is a prize for less $$. Not available in USA
The base V60 would have been a better choice but Volvo likes pushing thr R design to MAX their profit.
serge vivier Not from my observation. R Designs are rare on lots, typically no more than one per lot. If Volvo were really pushing them they'd insist dealers stock more than one or two. Dealers here had NONE when I was shopping last summer and an ordered model would be 5 months, so we went S60 R design. They had no V60 R designs and would not have any for months we were told. They said "nobody buys them". The R design is just about $6,000 more, with some added standard content included besides the engine, suspension, body enhancements, and brake upgrades. For a Euro car that is a cheap upgrade. BMW would charge $10,000 more for all that. I doubt the margin is much higher, other than selling a more expensive car, they could probably care less. It's probably a few hundred bucks per unit added profit. But in the SE USA, they do not want to sell a lot of R designs. This is my second go-round with an R design and they are HARD TO FIND.
Bruno TaTa Mi wife went to Volvo to buy a XC60 base 40 K and they had none in all of eastern Canada, she could have ordered one from Sweden 2-3 months waiting. A week lather, we went to BMW and bought a base X3 for the same amount that was on the lot. We would have prefer the XC60. I drive a C30 that I had to order from Volvo and it took 10 weeks to arrive because they did not have base C30 with the 16' rims around.
+serge vivier The R design is awd and has 325hp. It is a big difference in driving fun. The fwd has a good deal of torque steer squirm, and is about a second slower to 60mph. It's adequate, but not the same experience.
I own the 2015.5 fwd 2.0 8 speed and torque steer isn't an issue
@@rcpmac i'm looking at a used one now (fwd.... same as yours).... i was wondering if you still like it?
Estate not station wagon
Clearly this guy is biased towards suv vehicles.
No, that is what people buy. I've owned a wagon, loved it but wife didn't.
Suvs are terrible.
News flash:
SUVs ARE...."wagons".
Call them anything you like.
*"Volvo (and others) go out of their way to avoid the station-wagon moniker. BMW says its car-based SUV is a "sport-activity vehicle." Nissan calls its new all-wheel-drive Murano a "crossover." Subaru is the rare straight shooter, calling its rugged, all-wheel-drive vehicles Outback wagons. For our money, that's what they all are."*
~ *WALL STREET JOURNAL*
Absolutely. The rest is egotist's childish bullshit.
www.mannersmatter.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rose.jpg
SUVs suck.
That Volvo is so expensive. My pocket cannot afford it. I will settle for a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport AWD which starts at CA$31k or a Subaru Outback 3.6R which starts at CA$35k.
Ugliest interior of all time.
