Hey everyone! Unfortunately, we ran into a big audio issue during production of this video and with so little time during these media events, we had no time to reshoot. We tried our best to remove the static noise from certain scenes and even did a few voiceover shots to cover up the really bad parts, but you will still hear it so we apologize in advance. Figures this would happen the day we didn't bring our back up mic! Anyways, thanks for watching and we should be doing a follow up video later on the T8 Polestar and V60 once they become available here locally to us.
I talked to someone who works for Volvo and the reason behind not including a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel is safety. In an accident the mechanism to move the steering wheel could become damaged or loose power and pin you down inside the car and trap you. So they choose to not include one so their drivers could get out of their cars faster in an accident.
Miguel Sandels I believe it tbh power steering isn’t that uncommon it’s even found in high trim budget cars. I believe Volvo when they say that safety is their thing power steering isn’t expensive or difficult to do.
How often are people adjusting their steering wheel that they need power. I’d rather save cost and weight and leave it mechanical. I set my steering once and forget about it.
This is probably one of the hottest cars in the segment right now. The newcomers this year are bringing the heat (The g70 is basically a Korean 3 series , and the s60 is a Swedish C class). I'm curious to see what Cadillac and Acura are cooking up with the ct4 and 2nd gen tlx. I love the IS but it's in desperate need for a replacement.
Jordan...I think you hit the nail on the head. This S60 is clearly trying to be more luxury sedan than sport. The G70 might be the most dynamic car in this class now, besides the Alpha. Lots of great cars to choose from if you're shopping in this segment these days!
If this had a N/A engine and actual physical button for the hvac/infotainment system I would buy. Sucks because this look fantastic maybe I have to drive it first, but those features are a must for me.
My first car was a Volvo 740 loved that car glad to see them making a come back with great design wish they would go back to rwd platforms but I understand the business side of that...T6 in that matte blue from the xc90 r design with the polestar wheels is what needs to happen ASAP....maybe a manual turbo 5 cylinder version? one can dream right lol
I’ve been a fan for very long and Sofyan is probably one of the best car reviewers in you tube! That being said, I have an idea for the redline team. Instead of reviewing newer vehicles all the time, maybe you should a couple “throw back” videos reviewing vehicles 2010 and above! I for one would love to hear The teams thoughts on older vehicles.
I LOVE THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF... IT'S MASSIVE AND AWESOME, KINDA SATISFYING IF YOU KEEP OPENING AND CLOSING IT, I WISH I COULD GET A CAR WITH PANORAMIC SUNROOF SO I WILL CLOSE AND OPEN IT WHOLE DAY
Great car.i have owned 6 volvos.currently own a 2001 s40,2004 s60 2.4 and a 2007 s60 2lt turbo.wish could afford the new models. Volvo is for life no doubt.
Beautiful vehicle. I had one prak beside me today and I was surprised it was a volvo. How would you compare the driving experience to the Honda accord 2.0 turbo?
Thank you for your review. Unbiased, informative and detailed. Due to your review, I leased a black momentum and I absolutely love it!! Keep on doing what you’re doing and I will remain a faithful fan to the channel.
The voice overs were really well done. Love this channel as you have persuaded me to purchase a variety of vehicles. Your insights are very knowledgeable. Keep posting this good shit homie 😂
I've been a Volvo fav for a while, have owned several of them, including an older S60, and still own a 1972 1800ES. I love the changes to the overall dimensions and the front end and grille styling. But the rear end styling isn't as strong, not sure about the long-term reliability of the turbo- and super-charged 4 cylinder, and Consumer Reports just ranked Volvo as the least reliable car brand for 2019. I wish it had an option for an old-school turbo straight 5 cylinder, and that the infotainment was better executed. I'd probably wait to pull the trigger on this until at least 2020, and would probably get the V60.
I'll never understand the american love of unnecessary and obnoxiously loud engine noise. Subdued noise speaks more toward a sophisticated machine than anything else. My ideal car would be a luxury-dripping leather trimmed ford fusion-looking sedan that is as quiet as a whisper.
The T5 S60 R-design does give you 250hp / 258 lb-ft torque, BUT if you add the Polestar optimization option you'll get 258hp / 295 lb-ft of torque. The Polestar option (not the T8 Polestar model) is a software optimization or "tune" if you will. And they claim you'll get the same fuel economy with the Polestar optimization option.
I just seen the black ones today. I believe the 3 old guys where test drivers. The licences plates were north Carolina and I was in ventura California. Anyways, the volvo in black looked very good!!
ACCORDING TO VOLVO ALL POLESTARS(20)WERE SOLD IN 38 SECONDS . RATHER HAVE THE G70 . NICE REVIEW AS USUAL . WOW WHAT A GREAT KEY FOB . DID U GET MOSIT OVER THAT KEY FOB . WE ALL KNOW ITS YOUR THANG
Nice I lov it .. I have 3 Volvo’s , but I buy wheat they hit 10% of their value and 80 % of life left , that means 8,10 years old and 60,80 k miles ... I’m going to buy this car for 6,8 k , like mine xc90,xc60,xc70
Great video. I always like Volvo and the best thing Volvo did last 10 years was being sold by Ford. Volvo I think is returning to 1980-1990’s glory dada. Also this is made in USA. My favorite car I ever had was I was in Station in Germany and I bought Volvo 850 wagon Sport package. In a 2.0 TD.
Traveling through "mexico" last night and was stunned to learn that my 2021 R-Design, as well as all Volvo products from 2020 onward are electronically limited to 180kph. So no, I don't think Germany has to watch it's back... as they would be so far ahead of any Volvo it wouldn't matter.
MY2020 cars in NA are still vmax 250 kph. MY2021 are 180 kph. Germany was safe even before that, though, because the transmission programming in this car is not good if you like to shift your own, they didn't even try with the engine note, and the quality of the displays is not anywhere close.
I owned a 2003 S60. Best car I ever owned (only 2 nights in the shop in over 15 years). Family members have some 2012's and both have been problem cars, engine, turbo and transmissions had to be replaced. When I just bought a new car I did not buy another Volvo. I do not trust the reliability of them any more. It is sad since I always liked Volvo products.
Acceleration and engine noise aren’t the only considerations. How did it ride compared to others in its class? How about cornering and turning radius? A lot of important items not covered in a nearly 30” review.
I like this car and currently looking for one, I really wish this review didn't have so much visible and audible edits is missing so much quality compare to other review videos and you could so so much better. I also don't like weird sound your videos makes but that's nick picking.
