VOLVO’s 2025 V60 T8 E-AWD POLESTAR is a vehicle that fills the gap between efficiency and high-performance driving. For those who are looking for a gorgeous plug -in hybrid station wagon with a sporty attitude, this Volvo offers a lot of praise.
Like all the Volvo I’ve been reviewing for over 20 years, this V60 T8 wagon meets the bar in a strange way, and at the same time I know it’s a pretty cool wagon (it sounds completely intuitive. )
performance
My affinity on the appearance of the wagon may make you doubt about my sanity, but be reassured that there is a more persuasive story under the hood.
The V60 T8 Polestar and the 2.0 -liter turbo charge and the super charge 4 -cylinder engine are paired with the electric motor.
The EV and gas combo provide impressive 455 horsepower and 523 LB-FT torque. This setup offers 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. As with most hybrids, when the engine electricity interacts with electricity, the 8 -speed automatic transmission can easily process transitions.
The E-AWD system provides excellent grip and stability, even for difficult weather conditions. Paul Star engineers fine -tuned the suspension to balance sportiness and comfort, but I felt a little firm on the coarse road. The steering was accurate and responded, but there was no sophisticated level of feedback expected in performance -oriented vehicles.
If you don’t know it, Paul Star is a Volvo all electric brand. Therefore, it is safe to see the brands related to the extra pop of the V60 wagon and the efficiency. VOLVO says that in the electric range of about 41 miles, about 41 miles of the electric range of about 41 miles, sufficient for the surrounding driving, a full -evening charging of a general 120 -bolt wall outlet net. If there is a 240 bolt charger, it takes 5 hours to fully charge.
design
At first glance, the appearance of the V60 T8 wagon has a confident elegance and sophistication. Its rational silhouettes are clearly presented with a sharp angle and a smooth curve to clearly present a scandinavian design. Tall’s hammer LED headlights add modern talent, and subtle pole star accents suggest a vehicle performance function.
I love the sporty atmosphere of the wagon and the large 19 -inch alloy rim equipped with all -weather rubber to guarantee that the wagon is left -plated. You can see the beautiful gold brembo brake caliper and add another sporty component to the outside.
Inside, the cabin is a minimalist luxury master class. The soft leather and premium materials are beautiful lines and tidy dashboards, covering every surface to create an open and attractive atmosphere. The cargo space is generous to the wagon, with 50.9 cubic feet with the back seat folded.
I am grateful that the front seats inspired by sports are characterized by many enhancements for power adjustment and long trips. Passengers in the rear may notice that the leg room is slightly low. Especially tall adults must suddenly compete with the sporty roofline diving in the rear.
Fee
My tester started with $ 71,250, and the model review was set at $ 72,835 after optional functions and destinations. This is located in the premium segment, but buyers need to compare the unique luxury, performance, and unique blends for higher costs than average. Of course, safety is Volvo’s signature, which is a wildcard for many people who swear to Swedish car manufacturers.
2025 VOLVO V60 T8 E-AWD POLESTAR is a convincing option for those who prioritize style, comfort, and active drives while maintaining environmentally friendly edges. My feelings are that you have one of the more unique vehicles there.
This is a vehicle that provides versatility, regardless of whether you navigate the street of the city or open a highway. V60 Polestar represents Volvo’s vision for the future of hybrid performance and appeals to those who want to enjoy today’s driving experience.
