Best of Two Worlds!
S60 Polestar - After owning a Audi S6, I can say, this vehicle is very satisfying. Although not as powerful as my former S6, it's pretty close. What I lost in power and/or performance, I made up in fuel economy. I really like that I can operate this vehicle in pure electric, hybrid or full performance mode. Update: owned for 15 months now and I've experienced no issues. Volvo completed the annual maintenance (mainly oil change). Pros: Hybrid and full performance modes are quite exhilerating. Range / Fuel Economy - Managed to drive 800+ miles on one tank of fuel so far! Very Strong Acceleration Infotainment Sys (Once You Learn It) Bowers and Wilkins Audio - Awesome! Exterior - Not to Wild Cons: Pure Electric Range - 25 Miles Tops! Ride Comfort Dynamics - A Little Rough for a Luxery Sedan

No Buyer's Remorse Here
I considered this vehicle compared to the 2020 Kia Stinger and I am so glad I went this direction! I got the S60 T8 R-Design so it is currently getting 52MPG and has a ton of power! Smaller than the Stinger, sure, but it more than makes up for it with the ride and tech. I love that it can drive itself!

My new favorite car a
I absolutely love this car. Feels great on the road, very good power and the luxurious feel of the interior is very nice, so nice that when I now get into my boss’s BMW Alpina it looks plain. If there is one thing I will nitpick about the S60 is that the button to start the car isn’t a button. In fact, it’s a knob that you turn to the right to start and stop the engine. I wish they would’ve stuck to a push button on the dash, but I’m just nitpicking at this point. One other thing, a few buttons for the climate control would’ve been nice, but whatever. The point is that the car glides and feels great on the road. When you need the power it is there and comes on quickly and smoothly. The car won’t push you back on your seat, but it gets up there rather quickly. Before this car I would lease a car and still think about my 2008 Infiniti G35 and reminisce on the good times I’ve had with it on the road. However, the S60 is now the car that has replaced that void I’ve had for my G35. I will always remember the good times with the greatest infiniti product made, but the Volvo S60 is the one I look forward to having fun with on the road, it is a wonderful machine and is the best in its class in my humble opinion.

Very Good all around vehicle
I have a T6 R design with polestar. It has virtually every package and option available. Love the tech, excellent mpg as I average around 25 in mixed driving and the car is beautiful inside and out. It’s surprisingly large, easily fits a medium 29er mountain bike with the rear seats folded down and the front tire removed. The reason for not giving 5 stars is it drives nice but lacks engagement. It’s hard to explain but the power is good, a little more in polestar mode, but never really feels truly powerful. The steering is pretty numb, almost like you’re driving something at Dave and Busters. The ride is really nice though and that’s on 19s. The other thing underwhelming is the Bowers and Wilkins sound system. It’s a $3200 option and not worth $500. It’s clear but that’s about it. Overall I love the car though. The driving aids work seamlessly and would definitely buy it again. Update, Dec 22. Continues to be an excellent vehicle. The B&W stereo's amp was disconnected explaining the lack of sound. Dealer identified after I had a loaner that had the HK stereo which sounded better. Now, it's simply a fantastic sound system.

Sporty S60 T6
This car is very lux with the Inscription option. I love the Bowers & Wilkens stereo too! Mine is about as loaded as you can get one, so they don't sell many and if you see one on a lot, there's a lot of bargain room, because most people want the car, but they don't want to spend on options. I just love the car, AWD, 360 degree camera, self parking, 1100 watt stereo, real wood on dash and console, sun roof, 19 inch tires.....I think I have every option available, and it was worth the money. I got about 18% off list price for a brand new 2019. UPDATE: I bought a leftover 2019 in April of 2020, so I'm coming up on three years (in April) of ownership. I don't drive that much, and only have just short of 16,000 miles on it. I've owned hundreds of collector cars, and of course have to have a daily driver. I was a dealer for many years and happened to notice a Volvo at an auction. I hadn't owned one since the 80's, and I was shocked at how luxurious it was inside. I have only owned 3 brand new cars in 52 years. I buy them used. I happened to go to Volvo and on the showroom was a beautiful S60 that was loaded with every option. I bought it, and the quality to me is every bit as good as other high dollar sedans. Super sound system, nice leather interior, real wood trim, AWD. It's pretty fast, and I get 27.5 MPG which I think is outstanding for a heavy car like this. I haven't had any problems with it, but it does take awhile to learn how to operate all the bells and whistles. I highly recommend the car.
