2023 2024 VOLVO S60 RECHARGE AWD ULTIMATE - INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTING OVERVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive look at the interior and exterior lighting of the 2023-2024 Volvo S60 Recharge AWD Ultimate, focusing on its usability at night. The reviewer highlights the effective approach lighting, including illuminated door handles and puddle lights, which enhance visibility when entering and exiting the vehicle. The LED daytime running lights and taillights are praised for their sharpness and visibility. However, the trunk lighting is criticized for being insufficient and creating dark shadow areas, which the reviewer found to be a significant drawback. Inside, the ambient lighting, backlit buttons, and illuminated shifter are appreciated for creating a pleasant atmosphere and aiding usability in the dark. The active bending headlights are noted for their movement but questioned for their practical benefit over static lights, though the low beams offer good cutoff and spread, and high beams provide excellent distance illumination. Automatic high beams are also demonstrated to function effectively. Overall, the reviewer finds Volvo's lighting design thoughtful, though with some notable exceptions like the trunk illumination.
