Performance

4.5/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

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

it is noticeably quicker

I mean it's a quick car... just how quick these T8 Volvos are. The 2 L 4-cylinder really doesn't seem like much but 523 lbet of torque in a car like this it scoots

Handling

4.0/54 of 4 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

this is actually pretty fun to drive through here

the steering is tuned in in such a way that small adjustments don't make the car Dart all over the place

Fun to drive

4.0/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

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

I love one pedal driving these T8 Volvos... being able to do that with a plugin hybrid is excellent

Daily drivability

4.0/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

it is an overall very pleasant experience

positive · TheStraightPipes · ▶ 13:56

even with these ol dampers the ride is still really nice it's firm but it isn't a crashy ride it doesn't rattle your teeth out

positive · TopherDrives · ▶ 8:24

if you adjust it to the more comfortable setting it really rides very similar to other Volvo products as well

Value

3.5/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

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

positive · Redline Reviews · ▶ 21:17

we estimate that after 5 years and 60,000 Mi it'll be worth 42.5% of original MSRP... lower than industry average for all vehicle Brands

Car Confections · ▶ 22:35

does this compete with like BMW and Mercedes properly like it does but I always feel like it's on a slightly different level like a little bit lower
