We were lucky enough to be at the New York Auto Show and were given a full, exclusive tour of the new Volvo V60 by Senior Design Director T. Jon Mayer! Thank you so much to Volvo and T. Jon for this amazing interview where we get into the specifics of why and how the V60 was designed to be the coolest wagon Volvo has made yet. You'll see some amazing shots from the Volvo press launch as well as some never before seen images of the digital sketches from when the V60 was being initially designed as a production car. Enjoy!

Volvo must be the best comeback in the car industry in this millenium

@robert4you 6 лет назад

Totally agree!

@uozouozo 6 лет назад

im not really into wagn, but damn... this V60 is really sexy

@KlasR82 6 лет назад

I think this looks even better than the V90.

@DirtyRC101 6 лет назад

Yeah, ive seen the v90 close up and the hood reminds me of a muscle car with a hood that goes on forever, this new one has much better proportions.

I'm American and I love Volvo wagons also

@wwbdwwbd 6 лет назад

I'm not a fan of wagons, but this one really tucks at my heart strings.

@legambaz 5 лет назад

Bravo T. Jon Mayer and your team. The V60 and the CC are officially the prettiest wagon - ever. Bar none! Just out of curiosity, we talk lots about the typical Swedish/Scandi design we all love so much. But you're an American/Canadian? So how did the Swedish DNA came about in the design of this machine? And thanx Gregson for this interview cause it's simply very very cool to be able to hear the design philosophy directly from the design team leader.

I love as a Volvo driver where Volvo is going ! Great car !!

@jessewildman1292 6 лет назад

I've literally almost crashed my 850 wagon cause I was so stunned by the unique, refreshing presence and beauty of a new V90 that was passing by. I couldn't help but stare as my jaw dropped on the floor. Best part was the driver noticed my gawking, looked over at me, and smiled knowingly.

@georgemogannam855 6 лет назад

Long live Volvos! My family is a little obsessed. My parents owned 240's and then a V70 XC and an S60, and now I have a 960 wagon. It's exciting to see how popular they've become and the wide acceptance in both luxury and sport markets. Can't wait to see what the Polestar division will come up with in the coming years!

@jeffs6090 6 лет назад

I utterly love my XC40! My dealer can't keep them in stock. This wagon will sell equally well. Super hot! Perhaps my trade in 3 years.

@user-eo1hy6sk4x 6 лет назад

14:50 50 shades of beige nowadays. The best thing would be to introduce Paint To Sample/Individual/Exclusive program similar to other premium manufacturers where you could choose at least from the previous special Volvo colours like Cream/Hello Yellow, Saffron, Flash Green, various blues you all know, etc. For a hefty price of course but the the option would be there. Especially if there will be no special colours outside of the Polestar blue in this generation and even that is a maybe.

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

That color doesn't show up well on camera. It's gorgeous. It's like this metallic flaked champagne color. In the sun it pops beautifully. Beige =/= boring.

@atomicplus-us 6 лет назад

Big wagon fan and have a V60, love the vehicle. One disappointment with Volvo is the limited color selections outside the premium trims. Looking forward to a new V60 in the future, hybrid or alternative energy in a blue....

@legambaz 4 года назад

Exceedingly, exceedingly beautiful car. Loving every angle of it inside out. I like this Chief Designer. Competent! And from the look of it, this Volvo is more of an American designed rather than Swedish. Awesome interview Dude.

@Colin623 6 лет назад

It's an ESTATE !!!! not Wagon !! Americans don't like that name anymore !! Interesting video, thank you.

@Kamofy 6 лет назад

I fucking love Volvo. I've been a VAG guy for as long as I had a driver license by ever since buying an XC90 for wife I'm slowly debating switching to Volvo myself. I just wish they had a more robust tuning portfolio aftermarket wise.

@klaspeppar5619 6 лет назад

Looks great as most Volvos! If I had all the money in the world, I would buy one in Rebel Blue if that is possible, and.... A manual transmission which is sadly impossible to get in a new Volvo now days, so I would have to settle for the second best transmission the 8 speed tiptronik with a polestar map. Polestar V60 engine tune/spec, defuser and exhaust system.

@turbovolvos40 6 лет назад

Klas Peppar I don't think there will be polestar Volvos after 2018. Maybe they will have a R model tuned by polestar.

@klaspeppar5619 6 лет назад

Sean Deisch I don't really know, I think there is a possibility that Polestar will continue to "tune" cars. The basic "tunes" if you could call them that (the ones that ad like 25hk or something like that) there really common here in Sweden. I don't think polestar will "build" more extreme Volvos like the Polestar V60 and S60. What I wanted to do with new V60 was to make my own polestar, by taking some components from the older polestar V60 with the 2 liter VEA engine and 8 speed tiptronik gear box. It is the same 2 liter VEA engine (minus the turbo, supercharger, tune and possibly reinforced components, like pistons, crankshaft and more stuff like that. The older polestar V60 (the later one with the 2 liter VEA) is the most brutal car I have been in, it was ridiculously fast.

@williamgson4055 6 лет назад

You can get the new V60 with a 6-speed manual if you choose the D3 or D4 engine.

@klaspeppar5619 6 лет назад

William Gson I thought that Volvo said that they where going to quit making manual cars because "a manual is not premium". Making a manual option only available one diesel cars (D3 and D4) makes no sense, you buy a diesel if you want an fuel efficient car or want to tow things and feel the torque. And those are things that a automatic transmission can do better than a manual. Please don't get offended if you like diesels, but you have a really short rev range and power band. I have driven a manual diesel twice, I didn't like it!

@Wiikendzgoodmix 6 лет назад

Klas Peppar D3 and D4 are the smaller engines.. and I dont see what problem there is with a manual diesel? You still have 4000 rpm to play with unless its a realöy big diesel engine..

@LysanderLH 3 года назад

Wonderful design but this 'poised athlete' still does around 40mpg. I owned cars in the 80s which did that and weren't poised for anything but rust.

@Johans60 4 года назад

Awesome car, with the front axle moved to the front, it looks so much better

@markkibbe1802 6 лет назад

That thing is amazing. If that was offered with a five cylinder turbo (like your V70R) and a six speed manual I would sell my V50 T5 M66 and a kidney and buy one.

@ludde1300 6 лет назад

no more 5-6 cyls for volvos :(((

@travelinben1966 4 года назад

My first car was a Volvo,and looks like my last car will be a Volvo too.

@guszam1036 3 года назад

what color is that? pebble grey?

@Basih 6 лет назад

Only problem with new volvos are the terrible touchscreen... and that the engines are a mess to work on.

@ogremgtow990 6 лет назад

When my XC 70 dies in another 20 years or more , I hope, I will look for another Volvo.

@JYD_esign 6 лет назад

Wow! Where did you find that concept art?

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

It was given to us by the gentleman in the video! Those are T. Jon’s sketches and they’ve never been released to the public before this video 🙂 -Gregson

@Shadowfan1337 6 лет назад

Hopefully I am not the only one who caught the attention on that beauty instead of the car

@CyclingSJH 6 лет назад

4:12.... speechless

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

Right!? And those are HIS sketches. Simply stunning. -Gregson

@leveraged6694 6 лет назад

So glad they’re bringing it to the US! I think the proportions look better than the XC 60.

@pepedrat2982 6 лет назад

They're for British traffic cops, carpet salesmen, and people who do a lot of DIY.

@lukasvjohansson 6 лет назад

Looks just like a V90. Like, literally.

@OlavAlexanderMjelde 6 лет назад

Needs to be an EV version.

@vachiramondgunakasemtanawa5600 6 лет назад

Great looking as usual for Volvo.

@KeyhanHadjari 6 лет назад

I think the cross country option of V60 would be the best car for most of people. It is even better than XC60 which is World car of the year. I really liked the V90 Cross over, but it is too long, so this should be perfect.

@danieleriksson1657 6 лет назад

The V60 makes the V90 look ugly

@danieleriksson1657 6 лет назад

The V90 looks ugly from the back with an angle of 45 degree

@danieleriksson1657 6 лет назад

From this angle it looks awful: images.autouncle.com/se/car_images/a41ac416-89e0-4223-985e-0ab2fc48cd14_volvo-v90-d3-business-automat-7-5-basbelopp.jpg

@danieleriksson1657 6 лет назад

Compare it with v60 and you will see the huge difference: www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/v60-0465.jpg?itok=IfesTd23

@danieleriksson1657 6 лет назад

No, the interior may be better in the V90

@mitchm7563 6 лет назад

aint no secks like wagon secks

@kengrantk 6 лет назад

R-Design / Polestar version when?

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

No word yet. I’d imagine we’d hear later this year or early 2019 on that. So far only momentum and inscription. -Gregson

@AmenBlue 6 лет назад

did you ask about RDesign trim ?

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

Yes. No word yet on that officially. -Gregson

@wing__foil 6 лет назад

Søren Braad Steen Pebble gray. They mention it in the video.

@Dromestork 6 лет назад

Too small, grandpa would have a difficult time with this. SUV for the win; because my kids don´t need a future. But I need a truck.

volvo s60 date?

@ShiftingLanes 6 лет назад

Should be available this summer/fall

@HenryIsGaming 6 лет назад

@remiandrepedersen868 6 лет назад

Volvo is a kind of car that my father drives, which is comfortable and spacious, but is not as good for driving enthusiasts.

@sverrebergdahl5824 6 лет назад

0/10 no Volvo english

@ann-brittjosefsson4751 6 лет назад

Sorry but this Time its not your country who made a car and that country is called America

@cyclesingsleep 6 лет назад

They really messed up. Yes, lots of the lines are nice, but Volvo was always practical first while also being fun, sporty, safe. They sloped the back gate in order to please the latest trends of "sleek" and so turned their back on practicality - huge decrease in rear carrying capacity! ...total fail and rejection of their heritage!

@dex2531 6 лет назад

This one is far more upright than the V90. I wouldn't say they completely messed up. There needs to be a balance of both "sleek" and "practicality", I think they got it right here.

@Sandpaperdubai 6 лет назад

would have looked just as good (maybe more distinctive) if they went with the a vertical tailgate

@podge5555 4 года назад

cyclesingsleep : this new V60 wouldn’t look well parked outside your cave 😝🤪🤣🤣🤣

@MaN2Mega 6 лет назад

The design direction has turned too much twords the boxy direction, I like the detail work much more then the previous version but the whole has less shape and looks to much like a box.
