Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered Review // Good but $$

The Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered is a special versions of the compact premium S60 sedan developed to produce less emissions but also more excitement. The Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered competes with cars like the Audi S4 and BMW M3 but does it using a plug-in hybrid system instead of straight engine performance. Basically, the S60 Polestar Engineered uses the same 415hp plug-in hybrid system used in the XC-60 and XC-90 SUVs but in a smaller and more nimble sedan format. The Polestar devision of Volvo then tunes the S60 with added braking power, gold trim, adjustable struts and optimized hybrid system for very good results. The S60 Poestar Engineered can make a run to 100km/h in just 4.3 seconds. The biggest problem with this nice looking sedan is the price. In Canada Volvo has a starting price of $80,000, which is much more than an Audi S4 and certainly much more then the new BMW 330e plug-in hybrid with the same 30km electric range.

Shame about the exchange rate, but this starts at $65K in the US. Now, most Volvo dealers will give you at least $5K off for just walking in the door. If you can’t get near $10K off one of these, you’re not trying. Oh, and the comparison to the Bimmer was a joke right? The Volvo has $20K in suspension, brakes and other upgrades the BMW does not. The fair comparison would be against the T8 R-Design, which starts at $55K USD. The BMW 330e AWD M-Sport, which is comparable to the R-Design, starts at $50K. Similarly optioned, they are priced the same. As mentioned in the vid, the Volvo has over 100 hp more than the BMW. That’s 0-60 in 4.4 secs vs. the BMW’s 5.7; that’s a big difference folks.

@azaz911c 4 года назад

7:46 "is the performance increase worth the huge amount of money?" No. And in any case, Volvo will not be top of mind for customers that prioritize performance. Prediction: this Polestar model will sell in extremely low volumes (less than 100 per year in Canada) and only after deep discounts.
