BIG UPDATES TO A GREAT CAR! THE EXTENDED RANGE VOLVO V60 POLESTAR ENGINEERED IS MASSIVELY ENHANCED

EV Channels Review

The Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered receives a significant update, particularly to its plug-in hybrid system, making it a vastly improved vehicle. The reviewer highlights the increased electric range, now capable of nearly 47 miles in city driving, a substantial leap from the previous model's 25 miles. The powertrain is more refined, with the removal of the supercharger leading to a smoother, less stressed engine and a more immediate power delivery, complemented by a strong electric motor providing 455 total horsepower. One-pedal driving is now a seamless experience across all modes. However, the reviewer notes drawbacks, including a limited top speed of 112 mph and a frustratingly slow 3.6 kW onboard charger, which significantly hinders recharging speed. Steering feel remains a weak point, described as numb and slow, reminiscent of the Polestar 1. Despite these criticisms, the updated V60 Polestar Engineered is lauded as a stealthy, high-performance wagon that can truly do it all, offering a compelling alternative to traditional German performance sedans for those seeking an understated yet special daily driver.
