I am just getting to know my car after having it for a month. So far, I love driving it. The option to shift from Hybrid mode to Performance. It tightens up the steering and lowers the car. You can feel the difference and it makes the car more fun to drive. It does take a little to learn all the different driving options, however. Ultimately, I bought this car for: 1. SPACE. I can fit everything from 3 carseats along the back seat to my dogs in the back to a very large stroller, groceries, ect. The built in booster seat will be an added bonus as my grandchildren get bigger. 2. ACCESSORIES. The seats are super comfortable. I love the sunroof. The sound is amazing. It's perfect for me and it's got tons of help. The adaptive cruise control and pilot assist work extremely well. I love all the camera views especially the 360 overhead. It's well calibrated and accurate. 3. GAS MILEAGE. I was worried about gas mileage. I've charged it several times but I'm at over 430 miles with 1/4 tank left and about 80 more estimated miles to go. I drive a combo of streets and highways. The streets I am on are often 45/50 mph so I was worried that the hybrid battery would have little effect. It seems to contribute well to gas efficiency. Further, the car isn't too big. I didn't want to drive a behemoth that is difficult to park. I realized it's about the length of my husbands Tesla Model S and is easy to maneuver in and out of tight spacing. The 360 overhead is definitely a bonus!!! You can see everything if you are a little concerned. Ultimately, I wanted a bigger car that could fit my 2 dogs and 3 young grandchildren (4 and under) that was fun to drive and didn't guzzle gas like crazy. The XC 60 T8 Hybrid delivered.

T8 PHEV is a Joy!

I purchased the XC60 T8 Inscription after an epic failure of a Range Rover Sport Phev (perhaps the worst luxury vehicle on the road). The T8 is luxuriously equipped and works flawlessly. I've been averaging 55 mpg due to a short commute and a charging station at home and the office. I'm completely delighted. The seats, by the way, are the most comfortable of any luxury vehicle I've owned (and this is saying something as my BMW 760 was excellent in this respect).

At first I was reluctant to consider VOLVO

This is not what I thought a Volvo would be. I was looking for a safe vehicle for my family. I reluctantly went to the Volvo dealership. Boy was I surprised. We considered the XC60 T6 at first. But when we considered the tax rebate, we purchased the T8. (The tax credit covered the vast majority of the price difference. The extra power will be helpful when dealing with large trucks on the highway. We have put 1,000 miles on the vehicle and have not used the first tank of fuel. (Most of the driving is done in the city for errands.) We charge it with a 220 volt system that takes less than 3 hours to charge. The interior and features are fantastic. The safety features are a huge factor in the decision to purchase the vehicle. I really like the Pilot Assist feature. We are very happy with the storage space and the ride of the car. The styling of the car is much better than I expected.

The XC60 T8 hybrid is a beautiful car. It handled so smoothly in electric mode, but the charge is eaten alive if you live on a hill. You don't get 18 miles per full charge once you head home. In gas mode, there was no magic to the car. Our 10 year old Acura and Toyota trucks had more guts to it. Not sure if the twin engine makes the gas engine side less efficient, but it was surprisingly noisy and unimpressive. Back to the hill.. downhill, on occasion, the car would lurch when trying to stop, say at a stop sign.. you really had to push hard to come to a halt. One of the Volvo recalls was for the Automatic braking system, but this fix did not address the lurching. We found it very dangerous. Not a car to lend to a friend, not just because of this issue, but because it's so darn complicated. The vehicle handles beautifully (we got it with the added suspension option), and it might be the prettiest car on the road. Looks aren't everything.

After 1500 miles fully satisfied. The polestar optimization gives us polestar performance without the gaudy polestar model accessories and only costs $1295. The car is unexpectedly fast and handles great. After 41k miles, still satisfied. The ride with 20” tires is rougher than we would like but the handling makes up for that. Our only issue is that Volvo refuses to replace the headlights that obviously point too low. We have had a couple near misses on the road at night.
