Striking and Stealthily Quick

2021 Volvo S60 T5 R-Design 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Love the car’s looks, both exterior and interior. I have read so many complaints about the infotainment system, but I find it easy to navigate. Voice controls also work very well. Most people do not think of Volvo vehicles as fast, and they sure look surprised when you easily pull quickly away from an aggressive driver on the freeway! The car handles well and is fun to drive and relaxing at the same time. The suspension is just a little firm, but not jarring, and the seats are amazingly supportive and comfortable. I am unsure still about the long term reliability of the vehicle, but so far, all is well.

I ordered my 2023 Volvo S60 Recharge on Mar 2022, I received a called when it arrived a year later. I ordered the ultimate bright edition, in bright dusk color with maroon brown interior and the climate package. It was beautiful, my sales manager told me that many customers had already inquired about my car to purchase it, sorry that baby was mine. I had already test driven an ICE S60 prior to ordering this one so I had an idea of how it felt on the road. I have been driving it for over about four months and I absolutely love it. I have not have any issues with the car what so ever. I love all the advance features like the headlights turning as you turn, or the 360 camera that comes on automatically when you park your car, or the signal that alert you when is time to go when the car in front of you move and you are not paying, better that the car behind you honking its horn. The adaptive cruise control is better than other cars that I had, in addition to keep you in at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and to stop and go, it also keep you in the lane, as long as you keep one hand on the steering wheel. I also love the Google interface, because I do not have to mess with the dashboard if I need to change a station or adjust the temperature of the A/C, all I have to do is ask Google. It is just so convenient. The range of the battery is great, I am getting the advertised 41 miles. I have not purchase gas in four month that I have owned the car, I have drove it for over 1,000 miles and still have a little over half tank. Most of my driving has been in the city where I live, so I use the Pure move (electric) the majority of the time. I installed a charger at my home, so I charge at home overnight. I spent about $1,400 on the charger and labor, but received $500 rebate from the utility company. The ride is great, I which I and the choice of the 18 inch wheels instead of the 19, I think that would make the ride softer, but still very nice for a compact car. The seats are comfortable at least in the front, I have not experience the rear seats, I haven't carried any passengers. The trunk size is plenty for me, normally It is just myself travelling. This vehicle for just one person or for a couple is perfect and I highly recommended if you are considering an electric vehicle, but do not want to fully commit to electric. **Update*** I have had my car now for two years, and not a single hiccup, I still love this car, everything still works as it should, the fuel economy is superb, the comfort of the interior cabin is excellent, the quality of the materials use is so good, that is shows no signs of wear and tear, still looks and smells like new. I still get compliments for its classy and beautiful design. This is an excellent car, it met all my expectations so far.

Best combination of sports, luxury and technology

Canadian Silver Fox, 02/26/2021
2021 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design 4dr Sedan AWD w/Prod. End 11/20 (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
23 of 25 people found this review helpful

This is my third Volvo (a 1980 242GT and 2012 S60 T6 R-Design) and my wife is on her fourth. I grew up driving Volvos in Canada as my Dad had a P1800 and as a teen and in my early 20's I drove my Mom's 544 and P130 Amazon. I took delivery of my 2021 T6 R-Design S60 in Pebble Grey Metallic with Slate interior 3 months ago. This car is absolutely loaded with every available option including the Bowers & Wilkins audio system and the Polestar Engineered software upgrade and I couldn't be happier. I am in my late 60's but raced motorcycles and was an amatuer ski racer when I was young so I prefer a car that goes and handles yet is comfortable and has all the tech toys and this Volvo delivers. I have had an Audi S4 that was faster and louder as well as a Lincoln MKZ with a twin turbo 400 hp V6 that was faster too. I considered several comparable BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and Genesis cars but felt the Volvo would be the best combination of doing everything well and I haven't been disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised by the increased performance the Polestar option gives the car, with an increase to 330 hp and torque to 325 as well as a nice little rumble from the exhaust. I live in Western NY and usually drive several weekends a month to Canada to visit family as well as a trip to FL in the spring. Because of COVID-19 that isn't happening just yet but can't wait for some long trips as that's when the Volvo really shines. Pros include the gorgeous looks of the car both inside and out, the Bowers & Wilkins sound system is absolutely the best I have heard in a car, overall sporty handling, comfort and the standard level of security you get from a Volvo. The touchscreen system may be a little different at first but you get onto it very quickly and it is actually very intuitive. A couple of minor cons; at this level I would like to see approach lighting and a power tailgate (which I believe is available on other models as it's on my wife's XC60.) All in all, I absolutely love this car. I am glad that Geely hasn't messed with what a Volvo has been famous for and I think they have hit the ball out of the park with this one. If you are in the market for a great sports luxury sedan and want something you won't see at every stoplight, it deserves a look.

T8 R-Design Expression

2021 Volvo S60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 R-Design Expression 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

First the things I wish were different. The lack of wireless charging and automatic closing trunk are odd. You just expect those. The infotainment screen is small-ish, and the navigation system can be a little clunky. A holder for sunglasses is $72(?). I'd like firmer brakes. Now the good stuff. My car has the Polestar Optimization upgrade; I highly recommend it. In everyday driving, I get about 25 miles of all electric range without stomping the accelerator. That is plenty for my ~9 mile commute (one-way). The interior is plush; nearly every surface feels like the highest quality. While other manufacturers weren't willing to deal (summer 2021 car shortage), Volvo offered many incentives and 1.99% financing. Plus, you get a $5600 federal tax credit for this plug-in hybrid. I hoped to get a true R-Design rather than "Expression" version, but I couldn't find any in a reasonable distance. But the Premium and Advanced packages, plus the Polestar Optimization, got me nearly the same car. The difference is the true R-Design's firmer suspension.

This is my first Volvo ever, I’ve owned many brands of automobiles and this. Volvo by far is quality and attention to detail inside and out! Superb interior finishes and materials, comfortable and has great looks as well. I am very impressed.
