2024 VOLVO S60 RECHARGE T8 - RAINY DAY DRIVE TO MALIBU

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses a strong affinity for the 2024 Volvo S60 T8 Recharge, highlighting its potent performance with 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque, noting it "rips" and delivers unexpected "oomph." The car is praised for its comfortable ride, sophisticated "stealth wealth" aesthetic, and classy, mature design. Key features appreciated include the wool blend interior, the exceptional Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and the seamless one-pedal driving capability in 'B' mode, which is noted as a standout even among EVs. The reviewer also commends the practical aspects like the trunk space and the intuitive CarPlay integration showing maps on the cluster. While the infotainment screen is deemed adequate, the placement of climate controls within it is a minor drawback. Real-world fuel economy averaged an impressive 33.5 MPG over 553 miles, though the reviewer acknowledges this is aided by limited charging and significant electric driving. The car is recommended as an underrated sedan choice over SUVs.
