Comfortable and composed on the road — an excellent car for daily use. I drive the Q5 TDI with standard suspension and 20‑inch wheels.

BYD — to Romania, in my area I have to recharge 5 times.
Audi Q5 — to the same place I refuel only 2 times.
At the end of the merry-go-round, if diesel doesn’t rise again, I can say I travel with peace of mind in the Audi — both on price and comfort 😆😆😆. If I switch on the air conditioning in the BYD, I’m totally screwed; for 1,350 km I’d need solar panels just to keep costs down.
But if I only drive around the city and do short runs, all praise to BYD.

I drive a V60 T6 TE e‑AWD Inscription MY 2022

Overall I'm very satisfied with it.

Positives +
+ Safety
+ Performance
+ Fuel consumption
+ Service and running costs
+ Driving feel (still has a bit of the Swedish tank about it)
+ Average consumption 5.2 l/100 km

Negatives -
- 180 km/h limiter, supposedly due to excessive centrifugal forces on the electric motor
- Thinner side windows than the predecessor
- Still very firm suspension
- 8‑speed automatic (feels like the car is always shifting)
- Volvo's own customer service has massively deteriorated in recent years (their new motto seems to be "take it or leave it")

As a long‑time Volvo customer, this will be my last Volvo — I'm not willing to go along with the (now purely electric and largely China‑produced) madness.
