Constant faults with the touch door opening, the trunk, sign-reading and the front obstacle sensors. The service repaired it under warranty five times — they replaced wiring harnesses, a sensor, uploaded software — and then gave up. They told me they don’t know what else to do. That’s the customer care at a German premium brand. A car worth over 400,000 and they tell the customer they don’t know what to do. I paid the final installment and I’m giving the car back to them. I’m taking a Chinese BYD Seal U DM-i plug-in hybrid with better equipment for 165k after a discount from 225k. With that attitude to customers and those high prices, the Germans will have fewer and fewer people interested in their cars — but they’ve only got themselves to blame!!!

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.
