This is my 2022 Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered review. In this video, I'll give you a tour of the new Volvo XC60 2022 model year and show you why this is a fun SUV. We'll take a look at how it stacks up against the German competition like the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC. If you've been asking yourself - Should I buy a Volvo XC60? - then this video is for you.
The Polestar Engineered model is based on the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge. Both make a strong 455-hp and can go from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. On electric power alone, the Volvo XC60 Recharge gets a driving range of 36 miles. The model I tested here is a little bit more special. The 2022 Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered gets a few performance upgrades with Akebono brakes painted in gold, Ohlin dampers, and a special Polestar mode. Now, Volvo has been making some updates to the XC60 2022 model year and 2023. The trims have changed up, the Recharge trim has more power and more range, but the 2022 Volvo XC60 interior is pretty much the same. Let's take a closer look.

Would you buy the Volvo XC60 over the German competition? Let me know!

@tacticalsheep6795 Год назад

Yes!

@ohussiens3 Год назад

Absolutely… I was in my friend’s XC 90 plug-in in hybrid the other day. I was blown away with the refinement, speed and overall subtlety. On the other hand, I was also in a GLE (2021 model year) the other day and the interior creaked over every bump like crazy. Very disappointing.

@TheDevastateur Год назад

of course

@johnnyv5995 Год назад

Not at $76k

@olivertaudien8582 Год назад

Never, to unreliable and bad quality and in my opinion it’s not good looking

@Ben-sq1mw Год назад

hahahha love the intro man! That sound system is definitely out of control. Seriously the best there is!

@richeeffingerbattle 5 месяцев назад

Omar great review! I have this model and I hunted it down in Maryland, flew out to get it and drove it back to Minnesota, 1000 miles of pure joy!

@jehsethna9488 Год назад

Woah! The intro soundtrack was insane! The speakers are too good!

I work at the volvo factory in sweden and have the s60 PE. Great torque which makes it easy to pass other cars. Even running away from police 😄. Nice handling thanks to the öhlins dampers. I have been using the car like i stole it. Running it on street races and done over 80 000 km. It still holds up really well. Now the few negative things I have to complain about is the cheap plastic interior. Speed limit is a big downer, and the car is fairly sensitive during summer and winter periods. During winter the electric range is suffering. And during summer you suffer power losses due to hot air. I suggest for every one getting one of these is to get a sport air filter. Also keep in mind brake pads and brakediscs are fairly expensive to replace! (Pads cost around 700$ in Sweden.) Last but not least the battery will suffer about 10% range loss over a course of 50 000km.

@megatmohdazlanzahari9573 Год назад

Any idea on how to bypass the speed limit?

@bmw9146 Год назад

@@megatmohdazlanzahari9573 depends on country you live in. If you live some where in EU preferably close to Germany. Check out heico sportiv. They are quite expensive though. Other than then D5T5 in Slovakia supposedly have the capability to remove and put it back.

@clivesheppard Год назад

Very nice review - thanks! I own a 2020 model and love it to bits. As you say, it's a bit of a sleeper and on more than one occasion it has raised a few eyebrows when "grandpa" shows them a clean pair of heels at the lights! :)

@c.n.3404 Год назад

Great video! Regarding polestar, would you recomend doing only the polestar software update for 630 eur on a xc60 2023 t8 recharge (with 455 hp)? Thanks 👍

@chechecol Год назад

Hello Omar, I’ve seen your good videos, I wanted to ask you what you recommend more if I buy a Lexus GX Luxury 2023 or a Volvo XC 60 T8 Polestar 2023, I know you have reviews of both videos and I really wanted to know what you recommend, I have good impressions of both models and I know they are very different, but those two options are the ones I’m looking forward to get, thank you

@omardrives Год назад

Hi Michael! Thanks for watching. I would say if speed and performance is something you enjoy it's worth going got the XC60 T8. If you do any sort off roading then the GX will be better. Let's say this - if you stay on the road 100% of the time go for the XC60 T8

@AAhmad3449 Год назад

This car is niceeeeee I can’t decide this or the genesis gv70

@MalboGaming 4 месяца назад

I need it. I need it badly.

@medi288 Год назад

Owning one of these for 5 month (not the extended version). If you spec full option T8 recharge, the price will be similar to this Polestar version, so I think the polestar is a better choice compared to non-Polestar version. You loose comfort of a Air-Suspension “, but you get much better breaks that are essential for such a heavy car! Also looks are better and even head turner

@joshschrader4732 Год назад

Do you prefer the polestar wagon ?

@MrFabiobilla Год назад

Is the top speed limited? It should be quicker with so much power

@ivanlowjones Год назад

My 2017 XC90 T6 R-Design has the Bowers & Wilkins sound system which is worth every dollar Volvo charges for it. Yeah, it's that good.

@bsnk46yt Год назад

What was the song at the beginning?

@trevorsutherland5263 Год назад

I'm sure all the top audio systems are great, but since B&W is the only one I've owned I have to agree. When I bought my Jax XKR, I thought things were hitting or falling off the car on the way home, because my ears were hearing sounds from behind and slightly below me. Music that I'd listened to for years, I suddenly heard not only instruments, but voices that I'd never heard. A few years later JLR went to Meridian and I've heard that is just as good but as far as I've heard personally, Bowers and Wilkins is simply unreal. You'll never think of car stereo the same after your first listen.

@Dark_Vader888 Год назад

I've got the V60 PS ER version. It's a beautiful car but the PHEV system driven daily is very annoying. It often hunts on and gas in pure mode. It also takes forever to charge and uses petrol like a Lorry in PS mode which eats up all your electric mode benefits and savings. Android Automotive/Google is quite buggy as well. The connection stops frequently. I love the cars style and features but really cannot wait to get a modern full electric Volvo wagon with a fresh platform.

Whats the upbeat music name?

Manual damper adjustment. Just like a £600 chav car. Nice.

Boa tarde, falo do Brasil, na dúvida entre esse e o bmw x3 m40i, você conduziu os dois, qual recomenda? Parabéns pelo canal

@alizierny Год назад

Very different cars. I drove both. Bmw is sharper, little faster but less comfortable. I would go with golvo if you don't care about the cooler badge.

@jackyli8828 Год назад

If you do not charge the battery, just use gasoline, will car move?

@TheChevarie 10 месяцев назад

A yellow belt means the color of safety. So the seat belts worn by all occupants will be clearly seen by the authorities. Sincerely viewed by these Polestar designers

@shaunmiller3342 Год назад

I wish Acura would put the B&W in their cars. The ELS is okay but doesn’t even come close to the quality of B&W

@omardrives Год назад

Both are really strong but I agree B&W is much better

@calvinkhor7949 Год назад

Such a bummer that 180km/h speed limit 😴

@ozsarpkaya6843 Год назад

It’s impossible to get one of these. Long waitlists.

I do not consider gold trims as a part of “performance”. I want the improved range.

Sounds very complex which leads to breakdowns and high repair costs .

@jehsethna9488 Год назад

Personally I find the polestar version pointless compared to the normal ones

@bmw9146 Год назад

Not once you start living with one. The upgraded akibono brakes and brembos are big plus on a car thqt weights over 2000kg. I have the s60 t8 PE. And would never in my life change for a regular T8 and the öhlins dampers are to die for.

@justjoe469 Год назад

But no matter the horsepower what it has all mobiles are speed limiters that are locked at 112 miles an hour are 180 km an hour none can go no faster. I have a 2022 cx60.

@johnlamb3101 Год назад

No one has ever died in a Volvo XC60 in an accident world wide. A record no other car manufacturer can compete with. Remember Volvo gave the motoring world the 3 point inertia seat belt FOC - which was invented by a Volvo employee. What a gift. The safety features in a XC60 are numerous. What about the anti whiplash backrest of the front seats. (If your spine is shattered in an accident - you have Zulch.) No amount of money is worth your quality way of life. You have 1 chance in an accident - drive the car that gives you the best chance of survival. Volvo.
