The 2019 Volvo S60 Will Entice You Away from German Cars for 3 Reasons... 

Good evening from Australia guys! We'll go over our 3 reasons for choosing the Volvo S60 over comparable German brands but please feel free to share with us your 3 reasons for choosing this over a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi...

I realise the looks are subjective but damn this car is beautiful. Good work Volvo. Congrats.

Volvo is saying there is no powered telescopic steering because it would downgrade safety in a frontal crash.

This new styling is a big improvement.

I do not see why I should have to get used to a slow infotainment system. Manufacturers should make them faster. The iPad had this figured out 10 years ago. There is no excuse for this nonsense anymore

It's refreshing to watch a video shot at 60 frames per second. There's few reviewers who use 1080p60. Thank you.

This is just SUCH a pretty car. I'm waiting for the lease prices to come down a bit and then i'm absolutely going to be getting me some Swedish Luxury Compact Sports Sedan

Supercharged + turbo AND an electric motor? Sounds like a nightmare for the tech having to do the repairs

I know I'm not the only one thinking he was giving a "Doug score".

This has been the very best if the videos of seen from you in the longest time... Not too long, not filled with ads, and most importantly - you didn't go from 0-100mph in terms of how you spoke in the video. Perfect video!! 👍

People complaining because they have to change lanes by themselves. Please quit QQ and learn to drive. There’s a reason why accidents are happening everywhere even with all these “safety” features

Volvo vehicles are highly underrated.

I’ve been waiting for this review as I like checking out the alternatives to the majority. Thanks for posting!

That is one fine design. No cartoonish exaggerated lines. No huge grille. No funny business.

The S60 has a top down 360 degree camera. Does the Ghibli?

This spec can be optioned with a Polestar tune from the dealer. Noticeable torque increase! Currently enjoying it in my 2019

I've driven this car at my work, a fantastic automobile!

Wonderful review. Volvo is in a roll lately. Unique interior and exterior, love every angle of this car.

Such an attractive front end

I own a 2006 Volvo S60 here in Canada🇨🇦. 245,000kms but still runs like a dream. What a car!!!

T5= 4 Cyl with 1 components(Turbo) T6= 4 Cyl with 2 components( Turbo+ Supercharger) T8= 4 Cyl with 4 components( Turbo+ Supercharger+ electic motor+Regenerative brakes)

1. its one of a kind..2. love the design...3. love the Polestar editions even more!!! good review and i think its the best looking in the class.

I think this car deserves a v6 engine with turbo and nothing more. Would like to know the cost of servicing after 50-60k miles. Hope it won't become an endless money pit regarding repairs with those super charger, turbos, lots of sensors,electronics, etc.

New cameras being used? Looks less shaky and better than previous videos. I recall you saying you're overhauling equipment.

I have this car and I love it. One complaint is that it doesn't get the mpg that Volvo says it should. I get an average of 18 with start stop. Without it, it drops to 14. I drive in eco mode quite conservatively.

0-60 in 5.5 seconds. That's some serious Swedish Meatballs right there.

Topic: the thunk of the door is more important than the exhaust sound. Sofyan has join the chat.

I have an '06 S60 and I love it, but this is definitely a long term goal! All of Volvo's products are 10/10

The Aisin transmission is consistently the biggest gripe reviewers have with this car, it being slow to change gears in response to the paddles. No mention of the factory-backed Polestar Performance tuning available for T5 and T6 cars (bumps the T6 to 325 HP/330 TQ)? Or the Dynamic Chassis package?

I drove a V60 and liked it, I wasn't listening to the engine I was listening to the awesome Bowers audio.

I worked at my local volvo,well it was in the family chain of dealerships,and fell in love,I did dealer swaps,in and out of state,even 5hrs away each way,the high performance models are mindblowing,total "sleeper",very very comfortable,kickin stero system,awesome on gas,if I had the right amount of money,I'd buy the S60 R-model polestar,in grey,badass fast car

Your videos and presentations are getting better and better. This is the best looking Volvo ever...with maybe the exception of that Italian designed one in the 80s.

Dayum!!! It’s about time that VOLVO got serious about designing a sexy rear end. The utility is still there, but this now rocks!

Wish they still put I5 or the I6 in the Polestar version.

I'd love to own a V60 however the HVAC controls on the touchscreen are almost a deal breaker for me, and the servicing cost (at least in Australia)

Wait for the Pole if you want something more stiff...that is really funny...lol

Stunning car. I'm considering a V60 for the practicality. I'm just not sure about the Volvo's reliability track record.

55k is a great value.... LOL We're in a car bubble.

I own this S60 and I agree with you on the gas score

Best of luck to you by the way. Its been close to a year since i started watching this channel.

I actually feel like I am looking at something beautiful. I don’t know why It looks so good.

Those pink shorts are really selling it. Great review, great car, great work man!

At 5'7", what car doesn't have enough room?

The proportions of this car of so amazing

I have old s60 from 2008, but it still runs like new and has fantastic equipment like webasto and bunch other features which rarely can be found in new premium class cars. I had all germans c segment cars and volvo is far the best. Building quality and 5cil turbo engine with aisin AT is the best VfM you can get.

The taillights of this Volvo look like the headlight of a 2019 F150 Platinum trim.

For me i MISS the flow for that interior for the console. It was all connected but nor anymore:(

Even though they’re not in the same category I kept comparing this beautiful car to the accord 2.0 touring trim and boy are they close Except for the price

You're right about the smell! My 2015 S60 still smells like nice leather at 70K miles!

Love the new intro, no more forced questions you want answered!

This just shows you the value of Genisis.

Great review Sofyan. I miss the turbocharged 5 cylinder in my '05 S60R. That car was great, especially with a few carefully chosen mods.

Great review Sofyan, I own this very car in denim blue but with the polestar optimization that totals 330 hp & 325 lb/ft torque, it is an amazing machine, i thought the r design doesn’t come with adaptive suspension or maybe not in the us of a at least, mine has the fixed sport chassis & it is plenty harsh but handles fantastically, you mentioned it could use more sport tuning to the suspension but I think it would hit the 330i territory of ride if it’s any tighter, but overall it is a sweet sweet ride, thx again man

"Swedish Flair". I don't know why this cracks me up.

I'd rather have the G70 3.3T prestige/sport at ~$42k with incentives at the moment. The volvo is a great option and is clearly better if you have the $.

Nice review sofyan, the styling is incredible

I just bought a new 2019 with 500 miles as a dealer car. I didn't get the R, just the T6 AWD Momentum. Tons of tech, driver assist and great mobile app. The UI took a day to master and the I don't have the B&W sound system. The digital instrument gauge/screen is plenty good. The seats and drive are miles better than the Mercedes C300. I had a C300 that was great, the S60 is much better. I was really surprised and impressed. To be honest, I'm not a speed guy, but I like to press it a bit and this is more than enough. The back seat is also much better than others in the class. I find the car much bigger than my C300 or A4. The result 9f the size, weight and wheelbase is a masterfully and smooth ride. This drives and handles like the E300 with much less roll. The customization of rlfratutes and driving functions are exceptional. I didn't expect to get a Volvo but thebblanacr of value, feature rich option packages and the distinguished look of this care set it apart from all others. Lots of compliments on the Pebblestone Gray color with 19" rims.

"Nice expensive smell." I am not familiar at all with that smell, would like to experience it someday.

That car is 🔥, need to win the lottery here we gooo!

I think all BMW's look the same. Still love BMW but at least Mercedes differentiates with their headlights and front fascia.

I just don't see why this had to be turbo and super chargered. Seems way to complicated and many fail points. This is probably a lease only kinda car to me! With that said, it does look great!

Amazing and enthusiastic review brother!! Blown away by your video quality!!

Love ❤️ love this car get one ☝️ 2019. Volvo S60

This might be the only car I think looks even better than my 2019 Peugeot 508.

Nice volvo s60 and well done review.

A TT V6 polestar version not limited in production be nice

Turbocharged and supercharged that is interesting havent seen an engine with both of those options under the hood but it is a great car love the styling and looks

This is a superb car to see on the road....👍

I just leased this car Saturday. Looking forward to the next 3 years.

I would content Volvo consciously made it so Pilot Assist would not change lanes for you, we've seen the examples of people supposedly sleeping while in their Tesla, and Volvo probably does not want that happening in their cars.

You could never go wrong with the V it’s very well built cars with good standing History

Great review, very thorough! However you said that engine is transversely mounted, like Volvo's have always been! I'd remind you that Volvo's have famously been longitudinally mounted with rear wheel drive during the pre-Ford glory days -240 owner.

It must be cheaper to manufacturer turbo/superchargers coupled with an i4 vs a simple V6? I would think the added complexity would add to the manufacturing cost but I guess not.

4 cylinders in all the trims is a deal breaker

DO NOT BUY A VOLVO! I am the current owner of a 2019 S60 T6 Inscription and the vehicle has been a complete nightmare. It is plagued with quality issues and has been in the shop more than all my previous cars were combined, I am in my late 30’s. Worse of all, dealing with the Volvo dealership network and Volvo USA has been even a worse experience. Endless circle of taking the vehicle to the shop to have quality issues and defects documented then calling Volvo USA for resolution but receiving no courtesy or care. I bought a $60k piece of crap that I do not even trust to drive more than 30 miles from my house. Asked them to buy it back or forgive my loan, would not. Asked them to give me a replacement vehicle, would not. Even though I have a service record the thickness of a dictionary on a car with 33k miles on it. They do not care about their customers unless they are selling you the car, after that you are on your own!

Great looking car inside and out! Great power from a small block, but I wonder about long term issues given a turbo and super charger! Also, please nix the "Doug" score at the end of the video, no need to copy him and extend the video; you already give a very in depth review which is what I use to decide whether or not to get the car. Doug's "reviews" focus on quirks and features and aren't very practical if you're looking to buy a car.

I know its its older, and yes it has first gen CUE, but i love my 13 ATS 4 3.6. This is the chassis (and steering) the rest need to compete with.

Lmao. These roads. This review was done in Arlington Virginia.

I drove a T6 Inscription with 19” wheels. Great looks but the ride quality wasn’t good. I found it too harsh, especially on side roads. The C300, A4, and 330i are much more comfortable. Probably a combination of the suspension and the 19” tires but I wasn’t impressed. Plus, everything is controlled by the screen, including the heating and cooling seat features (Inscription).

60fps looks great. It's the way to go.

Oh shit he got his producer back.. no more of that looks-like-my-lil-brother-shot-this type of videos.. good job bro

Guys..... dump the RPM score. It’s too close to “The Doug Score” and his reviews suck. Your reviews are top shelf already and we can already take away those key points from your reviews.... don’t cheapen the review. I can tell by Sofyan’s face when doing the road test if it’s impressive or not. Haha

Volvo literally had the glo up of the year, I would never look once at an s60 before. Now I can’t stop staring at it and wanting one.

So in hindsight, I like how you are reviewing a what is effectively a Euro-spec S60 with the leather-stitched dashboard that was not available on S60s you could actually buy in the US for 2019 outside of the Launch Edition and with the Sports Chassis that they last-minute removed as a standard feature on US cars but failed to update the order forms to allow customers to spec until MY2020. Volvo has mismanaged the bejeezus out of this car. They have no idea what to do with it; they want to market themselves as safe and practical, but they have this inconvenient car in their line-up that they pitched as quick, sporty, and fun that is anathema to their current vision. How do you market a sports sedan at the same time you announce all your cars are going to be speed-limited well below the industry standard? When you don't include the sports suspension in the standard set-up for the sporty trim? When your stock tuning is horribly unresponsive and you have to order a $1250 factory tune to make it snappy? When you remove the shift paddles (MY21)? It feels like they just can't wait to get rid of this car in their line-up.

That infotainment started up like a 95 windows computer .

Drives great and looks nicely understated, but I’d be terrified to own one out of warranty. So I guess it really is like a german car lol.

My Asin transmission 170k miles original factory fluid. So this thing have the same transmission as the Camry

I think your car reviews are the best produced

not gonna lie, this car is compelling...don't know why, but it has 'it'. Mix of old and new, and different from everything else in the segment

No on the 6 cylinder. I keep saying they should bring back their 5 cylinder and pair it up with their hybrid system!

All Mercedes looks the same

Why don’t reviews know the steering column is manual because of the safety features… it breaks down in a front end crash in such a way which better protects the legs and the leg well fills with air bags. Specifically designed for safety. I’ll take it.

“It smells expensive.” I love it! What does expensive smell like? 🤔🤔🤔

At that price, the glove compartment should have been slow hydraulic-like opening, not the open drop regular hing.C'mon.

Is it me or is this demo beat tf up? I Love this car so much!!!!!!! 💯

Nice car but an optional V6 would be nice!

Wow that looks really nice Volvo! One thing that I noticed… The infotainment screen quality is not great… Maybe it’s just me watching it on my iPhone? But my 2018 accord touring looks like it has better quality .... but maybe not? It also has wireless charger 😝

I can't get kver of how good looking the car is. Love the headlights, and the interior looks ten times better than the German cars.

Always a pleasant surprise seeing a new review

Do an S90 T6 review.
