Performance

455 horsepower, 523 lb feet of torque so big Power pretty small package as well yeah it's no wonder why it just absolutely throws you back in your seat

the explosion of power off the line was everything we'd hoped for no lag no hesitation just a big hit of torque

positive · MotorWeek · ▶ 3:59

I have all the power and acceleration I want. I have all the fuel efficient fuel efficiency and energy efficiency that I want. Um and uh there's just no there's zero compromise, really.

Handling

4.0/512 of 12 reviewersstrong consensus

you can really throw this thing around some corners and it stays so flat I love the way this handles overall you can just see that agility and athleticism at play

one of my favorite things about the Polestar engineered v60 is the standard öhlins adjustable dampers

positive · TheSmokingTire · ▶ 5:24

The initial steering and turning response is fantastic. Um and I never feel the weight of this vehicle.

Fun to drive

definitely found myself wanting to extend some of the drives that I've been on just to go a little further and have a little bit of fun

in these faster corners countryside routes i feel that the v60 is just more engaging to drive

positive · Autogefuhl · ▶ 25:51

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that the Volvo is incredibly hard-edged and involving and thrilling it's honestly not

Value

3.5/512 of 12 reviewersstrong consensus

I'd say that this is easily the Goldilocks of the lineup.

positive · Redline Reviews · ▶ 21:17

Volvo has a niche cut out, the sub $80,000, even sub $100,000 high-performance power wagon that is just drop-dead sexy.

positive · Kirk Kreifels · ▶ 26:59

it's the cheapest high performance wagon it's probably the most stylish and I absolutely love it for all those reasons
