Wagons or SUVS? Battle below! 😄

I own this car. It is not really a fire-breathing budget RS6 despite the sporty branding. It is, however, a true pleasure to drive. I have a 2022 M3 and often choose to drive the Volvo just because it’s so nice. And a bonus is that it comes standard with the best car stereo I’ve ever heard in my life.

They say if you think you’ll hate wagons, then never drive one. For the most part they make so much sense, especially when Volvo makes them.

Volvos are beautiful. I just bought a 2003 s80 and I love him. Named him Sven. One day when I can afford one I want a v90 denim blue wagon 🤤

Ian, that Volvo C40 recharge video was mind blowing. The intro, I literally replayed it like 10 times simply admiring the beauty, craftsmanship & the efforts that went into it. I loved it, amazing stuff 👍

Such a classy understated ride

I polestar optimized my xc60 this past weekend and I love it.

Yall randomly popped up on my feed definetly subscribing cause yall look like you do a lot of volvo reviews and I love volvos cant wait to see what yall make next :)

This car is the perfect Sleeper Dad Family Car ;)

It’s not an official review until Accelr8 does it! Been waiting on this and now I want this wagon.

Usually not into wagons but this looks very smart. Love it in this colour, awesome review as always!!

Recently bought a XC90 T8 Recharge. I love it. Best car I've had, so far. 😊

Love it, wagon is nice!

Any wagon all day! Even my sisters Outback!! Thx!

Love everything Volvo has made in the last 5ish years. Have XC40 at the moment and probably going to hold onto it for another few years to see how things shake out with the V60 and XC60 in terms of pure ev replacements. But to me, this V60 with that much of thump behind it is quite possibly the closest thing to a perfect daily driver anyone could ask for

I work on Volvos like this. They are indeed something special.

Amazing review bro.😊

Got one on order. Coming next month :) Currently driving the XC60 T8 with the polestar software upgrade, so I’m curious to see how the long roof compares to the SUV.

This was pretty eye opening to me. I have a new love for the V60, Thank you.

Wow! That’s quite the wagon.

Amazing review bro.

Dudeeeeee, wagons are soooo sexy, it’s taken me a while to grow into the lewk, but no one does it better than VOLVO, or Subaru (even tho Subies are crazy lux like a Volvo). These are such beasts on the road, that 0-60 time is crazy! … loving that they carry the Thor’s hammer theme in the headlights. It’s just sooo damn smart, practical design. I LOVE ITTTT

What an amazing looking car!!! Great review!!!

I just got a xc60 and I love it it’s my first Volvo and my plane is a 3 step plan 1. Get a factory warranty then the polestar tune and exhaust work after that!

Polestar Engineered is very cool!

After our baby was born I decided to sell my Honda CF650 motorcycle for safety reasons. So that I didn't have to miss out on the speed kick, I bought a V60 (2023 V60 T8, not developed by Polestar) 5 month ago. I love this car: the driving experience is great, the acceleration is incredible, the sound system is exceptional and I have only filled up twice in all this time and over 5000 kilometers driven.

Nice review! I hope you can also have a chance to review the new lexus is 350 F sport

I have this on order!

This channel just keeps getting better and better 👌🏾👍🏾

Volvo wagon 🔥🔥

Station wagon, EVERY time! Polestar is such a great option.

my mom has this car and its quite beautiful

This is a great looking wagon and great size! Also, check out the '24 Lexus IS350 wagon. It's pretty sweet! I love my '15 VW Golf Sportwagon. Great at so many things! Cheers

you forget that you can get a bodykit uppgrade also from Polestar, i have it on mine v60 PE, its looks so much better then standard. Sideskirt, front lips and backlips, looks mean hehe

this car is amazing best of the best.

Own this!! 🏎️

Definitely would buy that over any SUV. I have the 2015 V60 and love it. If I could afford that new V60 Polestar I would. It's far nicer than an SUV, unless maybe you're 6' 6". Wagons are the best; especially the E63 with that rear facing seat, but also Volvo is great. Need for sweed!

If you put this in B mode you can manual shift it with left and right movement of the gear shift. Left for down right for up a gear.

Its so dope

i wish volvo made a v70 2024 model, its my favorite volvo (phase 3) cheers from Gothenburg, home of Volvo :)

We have two Volvo's XC60 and S60 Recharge. My wife bought the XC60 first I liked the XC60 so much, that I traded my Benz and I bought an S60 recharge.

Im just waiting for the full EV version of this exact car. CEO of Volvo says its coming on Instagram.

Between the V60 and XC60 Polestars, I'd go with the V60 for its lower center of gravity.

Having owned a 2017 V60 T6 Polestar Engineered wagon, and now owning an XC60 T8 Recharge SUV/Crossover, I would DEFINITELY own and drive one of these V60 T8 Polestar Engineered wagons! In fact, when I was looking to trade-in my ‘17 V60 Polestar wagon last year, I was actually looking to get the exact model and color that you drove in this test (a 2023 model, of course, because the 2024 models had not come out!). No dealerships within 250 miles had one, nor could they get me one, but a dealer about 20-25 miles away had a pre-owned 2022 V60 T8 Polestar Engineered wagon that their Sales Manager was driving. Unfortunately (for me), it had been driven a lot and showed too much wear-and-tear for a year-old vehicle, so I bought the V60 T8 Recharge SUV that they had on the lot (it was a demo, but it had less than 10,000 miles on it and it’s the R-Design version, which is no longer available ….. plus, I haggled with the dealer for close to a week, until I got a fantastic price on it (apparently, they had a customer who had a Polestar Engineered wagon like my 2017 V60 on his “wish list”). I like the XC60 T8 Recharge SUV, but I REALLY still want a wagon just like the one in this test (I’d take any color, but the Thunder Gray and Nardo Gray are what I really like best).

This is an absolutely gorgeous vehicle. And with the new motors and range that's quite respectable, this is arguably one of the best available! The sad reality is, people aren't buying them. Not in Canada. Not in the United States. Europe, sure, that's why they have the full line up there, as well as several other competitors offering awesome looking and driving wagons. But in North America, the numbers keep dwindling as do the number of options available to us. These should be bought 10 times more than competitive SUVs. For a million different reasons. But the sad reality is, they simply aren't. I hope to get one of these one day!

Friggin' love the sportsy Volvo wagon, so I would 110% go for a Volvo Wagon instead of an SUV. My dream is to one day have such a nice sportsy wagon

I was interested in picking one of these up, but have found they're both very rare and highly sought after. Don't expect any % off msrp.

Great now you put the second hand value up. İ cant afford one now. Thanks

You think it is a significant upgrade from the 2020 version. I am considering buying it. Thanks

buy thissssss🎉🎉🎉

Living in sweden is much nicer when volvo is making cars like this. I cant leave the house for 2 minutes without seeing a volvo, its always been a good thing tho

That Polestar Engineered badge looks like a bumper sticker

I really would love to have this. And a SUV. So both. Hehehehe!

Do the polestar engineered tiers have the delay off the line in power mode as the other recharge models do?

Is this widely accepted order in Canada?

stationwagon anyday everyday 👌👌

Why didnt you reveal price point? it would be nice to compare based off of price as well as preference.

I would buy this, hands and feet down :)

I love this guy....but.......I'm crazy about this car

I drive one with the 20 Inch Wheels and with real exhaust pipes. In Winter its smokes :D

Compare vs v90 ,xf ,octavia rs,corolla gr wagon

one of the most sexy cars out there. i love it.

Cant find anyone modified this car, is this car too rare to own?

I never had a wagon before no even thought of having one but for some reason this car got me looking 👀 at it for months now and the only thing that worries me is the driving is very long so therefore I will have to adjust and always keep in my mind that I’m driving a wagon is long to able to get out from a parking space I have to watch carefully and when I’m about to merge into the road coming out of a bank I have ti watch for cars coming because when I do my turn to the right into the road cars are that are coming could hit me easily because is long and I I’m trying to merge all the way to the left lane I have to always look behind measure the distance because o could get hit in regular sedan I don’t have to do that because is shorter

I have the V90 CROSS COUNTRY OCEAN RACE polestar upgrade. It cones alive mid range, its a big old car not designed to be throttled but its definitely there when needed, torque is unreal (500nm). Had a 5 series tourer 2.0 x drive before, tge build quality of the volvo is on a different level, the drive not as nice though.

Did I miss the pricing on this spec?

5:05 The screen is not pressure sensative. You don't even need to touch the display. That is so you can use it with any gloves.

The only problem for Polestar V60 is that the car just way too heavy 😂 those seats are awesome tho. Don’t forget back in 2020 we also have the T8 V60 Inscription, you can do light interior plus elegance pine wood green and crystal shift knob with lovely PHEV drivetrain.

Low key RS6 wagon competitor. Unreal.

I sell Volvos and the V60 is my favorite, I had sold VW’s and at the time bought an Alltrack, the V60 Polestar will be my next purchase!

I have an XC40 T5. Fast when I want it, dirt cheap insurance, and 40mpg on the way to work. I can put a Polestar tune on it, but I am stupid enough as it is, and don't need any extra.

4.1 not bad

In America will certainly buy SUV. This design suits more European market

The V60 is the only non-performance wagon that you can get in North America without black cladding and raised suspension right now

The SUV trend is stupid imo, wagons does everything an SUV does but better, except possibly off-roading, which no SUV ever does anyways. They are just as big or bigger on the inside, lighter than SUVs, look better, better gas milage, less damaging to the roads, more practical to load/unload things into because it is lower. And they handle like a sedan. My theory is that all the people driving SUVs don't know it yet, but what they really need is a proper wagon.

First😊

Please tell me there’s actually a spare tire underneath what you showed of the storage space.🤞🤞

wagons all day

the polestar badge on the grill is not sitting totally leveled :D what a bummer lmao

i Got 4 womans in one Month______with this car ____Design is Amazing

Always a wagon before an SUV. I think people in Europe prefer more agile driving. For that you need lower centered car that gives you better handling.

Isn’t it more the size of the a4 3 series c class ?

Sport mode

Are you sure your wheels aren't 20s?

The wheels also available in 20”

We’ve had nothing but trouble with the new chinese made volvo with the turbo 4 cyl they all seem to run. They may have great interiors and decent power for the gas mileage- but man do they start having issues at relatively low mileage.

Its a bit sad they removed padel shifters on the v60 in 2020 if you bought a 2019 V60 R-design you chould get padel shifters but not anymore.

Volvo is not the hybrid company and Polestar the electric one. Polestar is the sportier of the two car brands but they're really an offshoot of Volvo. In this form they're Volvo's sports skunkworks. This car also has the manually adjustable Ohlins shocks and the gold calipers and seat belt treatments in Polestar's sportiest trim. It actually originated with Polestar Volvos. However, Volvo's plan is to have only electric cars introduced from the C40 onwards. So you see now the EX90, EX30 and the for-China EM90. Polestar's all electric started at the Polestar 2. The Polestar 1 was a hybrid car.

I will never agree with removing tail pipes as a design choice, it adds to the sportiness of an already meant-to-be sports wagon. Big shame volvo is genuinely engineering their cars to look like they were meant for 50+ dads

I would buy the wagon over an SUV. This looks great.

❤❤❤

Polestar engineered limitation at 180km/h. find the error.

❤❤❤ volvo ❤❤❤

I have a 2020 and think it's better, it has the polestar engineered exhaust, the supercharger, the pedal shifters and a better infotainment system, but sadly 40hp less.

1. Wagon 2. Yellow seatbelts Sold.

Tune it up 550 I would do

I’d buy this over an SUV any day. It’s such a bummer that Americans don’t like wagons. I drool whenever I’m in Europe..

So... an RS4? Especially since this is roughly the same price as an RS4?

Why are we talking in the intro as if Polestar engineered Volvos is a new thing? We do know that's what they did first, before being an electric car branch of the company, right?

All these new cars look fantastic and they probably are for the first few years of their life. But I think I'd rather stick to the mechanical stuff, I much prefer it over all the electric motors and batteries, just seems like if something is going to go wrong, it's going to cost a fortune. IMHO.
