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.

Genesis GV60

The Genesis GV60 arrives like a fashionably sharp electric crossover, its jewel-like lighting and coupe-ish silhouette giving it presence that feels more boutique than showroom. It pairs playful, immediate acceleration with a serene, well-appointed cabin and slick tech, making it a tempting choice for buyers who want luxury with a cheeky electric twist.
