Is the 2023 Volvo S60 Recharge a BETTER luxury sport sedan than a BMW M340i? 

“It could be a little bigger. You probably have heard that before in your life.” Jeez Raiti, why you gotta do us like that?😂

Volvos are so underrated. Not a lot people talk about them. Their styling is so tame unlike the competition with all their big grilles

One of the things I respect so much about Joe is that he answers comments. There are so many channels that don’t respond and sometimes you wonder if your support matters to them, or if they even read your comments. But when you look through on this channel, you see Joe responding, and it’s something I find super baller. 👊

I own a 2023 s60 recharge plus. I love it, but it has its quirks. No interior storage, little glitches in the system. Sometimes the audio doesn't work when you start it and you have to restart the car. The power is nice, but its governed at 112mph. Overall, I enjoy it.

I own a 2022 Recharge Extended Range and its legit fast. So deceptive and powerful. Love the looks on the bimmers, mustangs and dodge guys when I pass them. Puts them in rage mode in no time.

I remember when Volvo first released the SPA platform S60 back in 2018, what a beauty till this day. Their 7yr+ XC90 still looks more modern and luxurious than most cars on the road. The amazing Scandinavian design language and a under-estimated sport performer.

I’ve been eyeing the S60 for a year now & love the clean lines & design of this Volvo. So glad you finally reviewed this under appreciated brand.

These look really nice. I can already see the black on black, 20% tints all around!

Wow that thing is beautiful. Was this filmed during the summer, cuz Joe is dressed like it's 80 degrees.

I have an S60 and I love it. It’s stylish, safe, and quick. *quick update, that sucks that Volvo removed the button to change the driving modes. My 2019 has a wheel knob/button right below the start button.

Damn I haven’t watched one of these in awhile… joe your still killing it, Volvo did a great job under the hood and styling. honestly I feel like volvo is underrated …

Without a doubt, quad exhaust, blacked out quite exhaust

Sooooo much car for the price. The price point on this car is so much more reasonable than almost every electric vehicle out right now. I know it's not a true EV, but mfrs are out of their minds with the pricing on the EV's, that the majority of people are still going to have to stay with some kind of gas engine. This car is very good option for a sporty luxury sedan.

Looks like a jaguar to me. Very nice

I'm old enough to remember when Volvos were touted as a "safe" car, and sportiness/luxury was not part of their marketing. Now they're a serious contender in those segments.

I really like this car but I wish it could have ventilated seats,and actual pockets in the back seats, but all in all good package. You’re killing it right now Joe,Lori,and Steven god bless you three and everyone else in this comment section. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊

I've really been debating an upgrade from my 2019 s60 t5 to one of these recharge beauties. I am a little sad to see they removed the drive-type rolling knob right below the start/stop switch...that makes it super easy to switch. Great review and definitely appreciated.

White and black colour combination. So simple and yet so tasteful. Well done Volvo.

I bought used 2018 XC90 inscription with polestar tune and I'm so happy with it. First time buying a euro car. Can't wait for the ex90

We don’t get the Volvo S60 in the UK anymore. However, we did get the S60 with that powertrain.

They have hidden exhaust because they going more in the phev route i believe but Volvo is hella underrated! Best car brand period!!

My favorite thing about Volvos is you can them new or CPO’d with an unlimited mileage warranty. I have zero worries about my 2020 V60 Polestar Engineered (ie the recharge) costing me anything other than the usual maintenance.

I think this is the Apostle to Performance and luxury.

Not a huge Volvo fan, but this things got HP, saves gas and looks amazing inside and out!

What a beauty! I love how balanced Volvo engineered this sedan.

The newer Volvos are quite underrated. I prefer the minimalist clean styling. I’d rather have one than any of the German or Japanese rivals.

0-60 in 3.9 seconds..............Volvo has come a long way! They also did a great job integrating the infotainment into the center dash. Granted, the infotainment functionality could be better. I am surprised they put all-season tires on this car. With this much power they should have put a more performance tire. And they should have put more rubber. Something like a 255 would have been much better than 235's all around.

Thanks Joe. Almost missed this one…….was having plumbing problems. Not my plumbing, my house plumbing. 🤣

Hey, Joe always was of fan of Volovos, cause mainly cause of their unique style. I wouldn't go white personally maybe red or blue. But hey just to let u know I did change my profile pic so I still am the same person as before, I hope u like it Joe 👍 On Throttle!!!

I want one of these things 😍

I'm going to buy this sedan someday Joe.

JJ - something Swedish babes like ? Swedish Meat Balls. they also dig Volvo, tony macaroni with extra cheese

JoeBall do YOUS remember the 1987 tops baseballs cards had the faux wooden frame outline surrounding the players picture?

Year and a half ago I bought the XC90 for my parents and they haven't had any mechanical issue so yes, I would buy another Volvo. This one looks fantastic.

I see they use a thick foam engine cover instead of insulation on the “bonnet”or hood to make it quiet, different , but Volvos are always different.

Pls, give me an update on BMW X4. 🙏🏾 I'll love to watch and hear you breaking down every future in it. 😊

Joe, your reaction to going “on throttle” says it all. I was really surprised considering it’s power ratings. I guess this car is for people who want to look sporty and get decent mpg’s.

Any chance you could do a review of the V60? S60 looks great, I wonder if the wagon has the same characteristics.

I don’t know what you talking about regarding “bigger” comment. Lol You sure crack me up Joe!😂

The new recharge Volvos no longer use the supercharger , engine is new. It usses a starter/generator in leu of the supercharger now. Also top speed is governed at 113mph. One thing I hate about my new car. Same as the one you’re reviewing.

Thanks for showing us the Volvo S60 about the no exaust on the back end i like it no fakeness i hate that...Have muffler or not...my wife have a Audi Q5 2022 she has fake exaust I can say this model it does not look two bad...I have a 2022 Volvo xc60 It has no fakeness which i love..

not sure about USA, but they have the V60 Recharge wagon version in Canada.. thats the one Id go for

It cracks me up when Joe comes with those comments like the one from min 11:53. It could be little bigger. I know you probably have heard that before in your life LMFAO!!

Just as a comparison to the G70 and BMW 340i he mentioned. Both of those cars aren't plug in hybrids, and as such neither will get the MPG this car gets even if you decide to never plug it in, especially in the city. So for long term ownership that can save a significant amount of money, moreso if you can charge regularly for a decent rate. In terms of sale price, the G70 is a bit cheaper, but quite a lot slower. The 340i is a bit more expensive for the comparatively optioned, and while 0-60 it is around the same speed, it also still doesn't have the same highway passing potential since it still has about 100 hp less. He's spot on regarding the BMW being more sporty around the corners though if you're looking for that, though technically you could get the Polestar edition of this S60 Recharge and it might be closer or better, but so far I don't think any of those have shipped yet. But expect to pay an extra $7k over a fully optioned non-polestar variant. Honestly I think this is the best out of them comparing just the three (which is why I own one myself) but honestly I'm not sure how directly this competes if you were looking for something more electrified. I'd say this competes more with the Model 3 Performance or Polestar 2, but is the better option if you don't want to or can't go full electric yet. There really isn't a sedan plugin hybrid in this price range or below that is better, both the BMW 330e and 530e aren't even close due to their undersized electric engines and batteries.

loved the 740 turbo's back in the 80's

Nice car looks sporty with the white and black

Looks pretty much like the 2020 S60 T6 I bought for my wife in 2020 … no big changes in design here

Nicest Volvo I’ve seen and yes, some quad pipes in the back would work. No zonks here.

The Volvos been out for many decades still love the old school 240s also like the XC90 the new generations looks beautiful they never were ugly cars always ĺooked nice.

loved the review! where did you capture 3.9 0-60? also the t8 is not e supercharged, just turbocharged. the b6 is turbo and e supercharged, the t5/b5 is only turbocharged, and the t6 was twin charged

I'm not a Volvo fan but I like the style of this vehicle the sparkling white is tasteful the black wheels are a nice touch!

Wow 🤩 that car is not only beautiful but all those options, looks like a great option to consider

Isn't 3.9 to 60 a lil on the slow side with all that power?

Volvo s60 is a great looking car in my opinion and you’re doing a great job Joe. Honda just shared more info on 2023 Honda Accord, I’m eagerly waiting for a full review and driving impression on that.

Since you have a CTR now, will you be doing any videos like, “life with a CTR”, “how practical my CTR is as a daily”, and etc?

Volvo all day any day. My 08 S60 is still running after 200,000+ miles. Talk about brand loyalty.

And I would add, that is also a very good looking car I give this one to thumbs up!

I've had the pleasure of driving the S60 on several ocassions. My zonks are similar the infotainment could have a better layout and be bigger but it is easy to navigate. The only other zonk would be I would like for the gage cluster to be brighter seems very dim compared to other cars. Other than that it's a great car! Great Review as always

Lovely car, personly like V60 more

Volvos are definitely on point! This one is 🔥🔥🔥

Joe, do you know how critical I am of electric vehicles but this one is a nice combination of hybrid and gas motor and it seems like it may have the balls it needs to keep me happy. I would absolutely consider this car. It’s a little bit over my price range, but not too bad And I know because I used to work in the engine laboratories at Exxon that these Volvos are bulletproof! We used to run them on dynamometers for literally six months at a time with only stopping them while going up to change the oil and sticking them back on the dumps again doing all kinds of testing. And they never broke down never! They were very blot and milquetoast compared to this vehicle. Like I said, I would actually buy one of these in a heartbeat if I could afford it. 22:09

Great review as always. Recommend having Laurie give your camera guy some training. She did a much better job. Now angles too low, slow to pan out and get you on camera, and sometimes zooms too close. Laurie was just a pro. Still love the channel and the work everyone is doing.

Wow, I would had seen this video when buying my G70 might had gone with this ! 450+hp/500+tq?!?! 😳 Crazy !

Yessir I’m absolutely love it, I wil admit I do forget about Volvo a lot but that’s because typical I think about the semi trucks they produce vs cars but I have been liking what they put out.

Joe another great review! Thanks

❤️🏁🚗 Thank you Joe and Steven! 🤠❤️

Nice sporty looking car,duel or quad exhaust would have finished it off nicely ….👍🏻

🇺🇸 *Surprised at how much I like this Volvo* !! *Volvo has evolved into a good looking vehicle* !! *NEED a hatch back on this for more versatility* !! *455 HP sounds very fun* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸

definitely needs a gloss black spoiler

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 💯💯💯

It's a nice vehicle. Almost looks like a Jaguar. I do agree with you about the blacked out Volvo logo. If it was an off-black? Like a charcoal color? Would look 1000 times better. Would've been really nice to have a 3.5 liter V6 in it.

That Plymouth Rock shout out was on point

You said there's no spare in the S60 recharge. Does it have run-flat tires? How does it compare to the BMW 330e?

I've gone to Ikea, ate some Swedish meatballs and left, didn't look at one piece of furniture.

I have a 2020 T6 inscription model and I think its the coolest car I've ever owned.

Geely made a smart move acquiring it.

Excellent review comparison to the M340i xDrive didn’t get much comment. For me, the Volvo is just too heavy. I know that BMW has piled flab on the 3 series, but the M340i is about 450 pounds lighter than the Volvo. I’d also be worried about the durability and repair costs of the Volvo’s complex powertrain.

I like it! Maybe not enough to stop me from buying another SUV but I would definitely consider this model. Great video Mr. Raiti! 👍🏾!

Would look nice with gloss black door handles

Just odd they didn't include black lug nuts in my opinion. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe just me. But the dealer I'm sure has it as an accessory. As always, thanks for the review Joe

Need that Black Edition or Black pkg Sleek beauty

Once you've had ventilated seats and a power trunk, you can't go back...you just can't...

Volvo is a Chinese company located in Sweden for quite some time now. Even before China stepped in, reliability ratings were always pretty bad, unlikely it is better now.

Wow 🤩 that car is not only beautiful but all those options

I was in the market for a new car recently and I did think about getting Volvo S60 but what I was hesitant about was the engine…since it’s not your standard 4 cylinder turbo…if anything mechanical goes wrong I bet it would cost a fortune for that. So, I purchased Genesis g70 3.3t RWD sport prestige…and love it!

The top front quarter of the fender and hood reminds me of a Mustang.

Might not be as light on its feet as a Beemer but much more comfortable and quality is 2nd to none.

does this come with the polestar package?

Surprised there's no liner for the hood.

2023 Volvo S60 T8 Recharge eAWD R-Design Black Edition!

Hi, Joe, this Volvo s60 is a beautiful car t8 turbocharged supercharge inline four 8speed automatic all-wheel plug-in hybrid pure ev we get 455 hp and 523 pound-feet of torque 0 to 60 3.9 seconds quarter miles goes on 12.4 at 115 miles hours curb weight 4463 pounds however all people say that infotainment system shouldn't be vertical and it's kind of perplex to understand overall this car is nice polestar optimization thanks

This design and colour combo really reminds me of my Mazda 3 sedan

The S60 actually has a bigger brother, the S90. Its a magnificent car. Myself i had a V90 , the station wagon version, and its a glorious car for long journeys.

Yes I love the Volvo s now since I bought v60 2018 cross country the wagon performs great as car instead of suv great investment for my commute and love the review of this model.👍👏😉

Joe does this Swedish car come with a free Swedish girl about age 25?

I'm leasing a 2020 volvo s60 t6, this thing eats through gasoline, for whatever reason I'm getting like 12mpg in the city, hopefully this hybrid version fixes it

The Gorgeous Acura TLX Type S with this drive train/power would be perfect.

rear end is perfect, no pipes

I thought the supercharger was removed for 2023, essentially replaced by more battery?

The 2023's don't have the Supercharger. They removed it. Would you take this over an M340i? I'm actually cross shopping both.
