241012 - Volvo V60 Crosscountry by Derrière le Volant

Volvo might be best known for helping the three-point seat belt find its way into passenger cars, and for wagons. The wagon shape has been a staple of Volvo's products and helped carve a dedicated niche for the brand. Well, with time, all things must change, and the wagon has moved away from being the defacto people hauler, and become more of a fashion decision. Building on that, Volvo also decided it was wise to let the folks at Polestar Engineered take a V60 and turn it into a road-eating monster. The '24 Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered packs a plug-in-hybrid powertrain that sends a combined 455 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque to the wheels, while also advertising 41 miles of electric range and 530 miles worth of combined range.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the V6 and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review of this hopped-up hauler. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's executive editor Tom Murphy about the status of wagons in the car market today, performance wagons, and this Volvo. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the '24 Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered so special.

On this week's podcast, Nicole talks about the all-new Volvo EX30 electric car that's set to arrive in the US early next year. She also gets behind the wheel of the Volvo V60 Cross Country wagon and eats way too much leftover Halloween candy.

不少人心中，Volvo給人的印象就是安全，但你可能沒想到Volvo部分車款兇起來也是讓人驚艷，其中今天試駕的V60 T8 Recharge就是其中一例。透過PHEV插電式油電系統的加持，綜效馬力可達455hp，扭力高達72.3kgm，0~100km/h 4.6秒，這個表現就足以讓人腎上腺素狂飆！若只在一般道路順順開，其純電續航里程還可達88km，今天就來好好介紹這台”個性分裂”的實用型Wagon！ 玩車誌網站：https://carfun.tw/

SUVs and crossovers are in demand these days, but wagons make a whole lot of sense. Especially if it's the Volvo V60 Cross Country. It runs with the B5 mild hybrid system, it's easy to load and even easier to drive. Plus it will tackle a lot of tough terrain, even if owners are too timid try it. If you want a useful, capable vehicle with the best seats you can buy, this Swede is worth a look. Tom Voelk checks out a fully-equipped Ultimate model in upgraded Onyx Black paint that MSRPs for $63,585.      

Petter tror på Volvo, Theo tycker att det är stigmatiserat men ändå inte och Nils ligger med feberfrossa hemma. Dessutom har vi kört en Volvo som blivit förfinad av Ford Motor Company!

During this episode, the 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country is reviewed.  Ken & Chase discuss the unique events that are covered by the typical homeowner's policy and Mercedes introduces Level 3 conditional autonomous driving in two states. The RoadWorthy Drive Podcast is changing! Starting March 1st, it will become The TechMobility Podcast. With the same great news, information, and perspective that you have come to expect, the TechMobility Podcast will add interviews with newsmakers and people of interest across the technology and mobility landscape!

Before SUVs took off and became a staple of private American transportation, automakers like American Motors, Subaru, and Volvo had developed vehicles that were based on their current station wagons, but offered consumers more.  A more robust frame, higher ground clearance, and other updates and tweaks designed to make these vehicles compatible with off-road use.  The Volvo V60 Cross Country is one such wagon. The RoadWorthy Drive Moments podcast is changing! Starting March 1st, it will become the TechMobility Topics podcast! While the weekly podcast will continue to feature the same great news, information and perspective that you have come to expect, TechMobility Topics will also include interviews of newsworthy and unique individuals across the technology and mobility landscape.

Edwin Nilssons gård, Rödhöksstigen 12, Skiphult. Söndag, 5 juli 2019 Thalia återvänder till Edwins gård i hans blodröda Volvo V60. Under en fika med ljummet kaffe och småländska kringlor tar tillvaron en oanad vändning.

Even though the Volvo V60 might not be as exciting as last-week's 911 GT3, Chris and Charlie were still happy to spend plenty of time talking about how great it was. They also had the Chevy Traverse, which was less exciting but still better than they expected. Even though it didn't have the "hit the road" package. This week is a bit more dry as they're only driving a Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition. However, Chris gets to drive the new Kia Niro this week, and Charlie gets to drive his Escape Hybrid. So everyone is happy. Enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

Das sportlichste Modell aus dem Hause Volvo dürfte aktuell der V60 sein. Natürlich gibt es auch da unterschiedliche Leistungsstufen, was aber am Aussehen zunächst nichts ändert. Hier verbinden sich Funktionalität, Sicherheit und athletisches Design. Und natürlich ist Volvo auf der Höhe der Zeit, was das Thema Elektrizität angeht. Als Volvo V60 Recharge ist der Wagen mit zwei Plug-in-Hybridantrieben verfügbar, die dynamische Fahrleistungen zum einen und hohe elektrische Reichweiten im Alltag zum anderen garantieren. Darum geht es diesmal!Der Insider sieht es sofort. Die markanten 19-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen im offenen Fünf-Speichen-Design offenbaren einen Blick auf goldlackierte Bremssättel, das Markenzeichen von Polestar Engineered. Die Rede ist von den legendären Brembo-Sechs-Kolben-Bremssätteln, die besonders leistungsstarke Fahrzeuge üblicherweise haben. Schaut man auf die Maximalgeschwindigkeit unsere heutigen Testfahrzeuges, ist man allerdings kurz irritiert.   Power und Drive!    Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit dieses Fahrzeuges, dessen vollständiger Name Volvo V60 Recharge T8 AWD Polestar Engineered lautet, beträgt „nur“: 180 km/h. Der Hintergrund: Seit 2020 werden alle Pkw des schwedischen Premium-Automobilherstellers aus Sicherheitsgründen mit einer bei 180 km/h abgeriegelten Höchstgeschwindigkeit ausgeliefert. Dennoch hat die High-Tech-Bremsanlage ihre Berechtigung, denn der Wagen ist ein absolutes Powerpaket. Die Kombination aus einem 233 kW (318 PS) starken Benzin-Vierzylinder-Turbo-Kompressormotor und einem 65 kW (87 PS) starken Elektromotor ergibt in Summe 298 kW (405 PS), die den T8 AWD Polestar Engineered in nur 4,6 Sekunden von 0 auf100 km/h katapultieren. Das 8-Gang Geartronic™ Automatikgetriebe schaltet dabei blitzartig die Gänge durch! Um den etwas mehr als 2 Tonnen schweren Kombi sicher zum Stehen zu bekommen, sind dann genau solche Brembo-Bremsen notwendig! Rein elektrisch sind übrigens 125 km/h möglich, die Reichweite beträgt dann bis zu 55 Kilometer. Ein technischer Leckerbissen ist auch der elektronische Allradantrieb des Hybridsystems, der über die „Drive Mode“ Funktion aktiviert werden kann.  Die Kosten!Der günstigste Volvo V60 geht bei 39.150,00 Euro los, der Einstiegspreis für den Volvo V60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid liegt bei 59.100,00 Euro. Wer sich für das von uns getestete absolute Topmodell T8 AWD Polestar Engineered entscheidet, muss sich von mindestens 69.500,00 Euro trennen. Allerdings ist dieses Modell dermaßen üppig ausgestattet, dass Sie schon mutwillig nach aufpreispflichtigen Extras suchen müssen. Denn eigentlich hat der Wagen alles an Bord, was man so braucht. Stöbern Sie doch einfach mal durch die Preisliste. Sie werden mir mich Sicherheit recht geben! Alle Fotos: ©  Volvo Car Germany GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Signe des temps, Volvo met un point d'honneur à électrifier sa gamme pour préparer une transition en douceur vers le futur de la mobilité.

Station Wagons once were considered the ultimate suburban status symbol. A house, the two kids, a dog, a picket fence, and that long-roof parked in the driveway. Well in today's world of SUV and crossovers, it is time to reimagine the station wagon. We did just that in this amazing Volvo V60. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://queer4cars.com/2020/08/24/is-it-time-to-make-station-wagons-a-thing-again-the-2020-volvo-v60-t5-awd-cross-country/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queer4cars/support

This week America on the Road will enter a new chapter when it begins to air on the nationwide SportsMap Radio Network. The first SMRN episode of America on the Road will air on Saturday, August 14, and it will be heard weekly on the network from that date forward. America on the Road will also continue as a weekly podcast. Those episodes will be available each Monday, beginning on August 16th. This is one of our favorite previously aired episodes. A new episode will be published this coming Monday, August 16. The Ford Mustang has a new and very hot new sub-model, the Mach 1. And we'll get all the details about it from Jim Owens, the Ford Mustang and Shelby brand manager. The Mach 1 brings a 480-horsepower version of Ford's 5.0-liter V-8 to the performance party, and buyers have the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission with rev-matching function or a sophisticated SelectShift 10-speed automatic. The specs on the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 look a lot like those of the 2020 Mustang Bullitt, but the two cars are actually quite different and we'll describe how. The 2021 BMW 540i adds mild-hybrid electric power to its 335-horsepower 6-cylinder powertrain. In the news from the week, a major automaker has just announced it will build an electric full-size pickup truck, joining a throng of manufacturers that includes Ford, Tesla, Rivian, and Canoo. The Chevrolet Silverado electric pickup will be built at the company's Factory ZERO assembly plant in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan. The company has said it plans to invest as much as $7 billion in its effort to switch its emphasis from large internal-combustion-engine trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars to electric and autonomous vehicles. GM said the Silverado electric pickup has been designed from the ground up to be an EV, and it will share a great deal of technology with the GMC Hummer EV pickup that will be built in the same high-tech plant. In the road test segment of the podcast co-host Chris Teague will take a detailed look at the 2021 BMW 540i. This version of the 5-Series might not be as sharp-edged as some previous generations but there is plenty to like about this four-door with its 335-horsepower engine plus mild hybrid electric boost system. The Volvo V60 is just the kind of performance station wagon that car writers drool over. Host Jack Nerad examines the 2021 Volvo V60 T8 Polestar, finding it to be one of those cars that auto journalists seem to love. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain is more complicated than the pending Infrastructure bill, but Nerad was enthralled with the station wagon's 415-horsepower and deft all-wheel-drive handling.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   8 MIN READ - ONCE 'GREEN' PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS SUDDENLY LOOK LIKE DINOSAURS IN EUROPE "Remember when plug-in hybrid cars were the go-to technology for the climate-conscious driver? Turns out, they’re not good for the environment, according to some experts, and they could be phased out by carmakers in the face of tougher European rules." reports Reuters: "Draft green finance regulations would ban manufacturers from labelling them as “sustainable investments” beyond 2025, potentially deterring investors. Meanwhile planned rules on emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxides could increase the cost of producing these cars"   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-europe-regulations-insight/once-green-plug-in-hybrid-cars-suddenly-look-like-dinosaurs-in-europe-idUSKBN2BZ0C2   VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 BEATS EPA RANGE ESTIMATE BY 15% "In its most recent test, it put a Volkswagen ID.4 First Edition through its paces. When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, the car managed to travel 287 miles — about 15% more than the EPA’s 250 mile range estimate. Keep in mind that the Edmunds test leaves approximately 10 miles of range available at the end, since no one in their right mind would drive an electric car until it stopped running completely." says Clean TEchnica and yet my buddy Kyle Conner from Out Of Spec Motoring reguarly does exactly that: "our ID.4 used about 18% less energy than the EPA projected. This also means our ID.4 was slightly more efficient than the Tesla Model Y Performance, which recorded 29.6 kWh/100 miles in our testing versus its EPA estimate of 30 kWh/100 miles. That makes more sense considering the level of performance we’ve experienced in the Model Y, which most often comes with a trade-off in efficiency,” Edmunds reports."   https://cleantechnica.com/2021/04/09/volkswagen-id-4-beats-epa-range-estimate-by-15-in-edmonds-test/   SPANISH PLAN FOR EV INCENTIVES "The Spanish government has approved a plan to spend up to 800 million euros ($950 million) until 2023 to encourage electric car sales, the Energy Ministry said on Friday." according to a Reuters report: "Private buyers would be entitled to subsidies of up to 7,000 euros per car, while authorities in small towns and companies buying fleets to use as taxis could get more. Buyers of electric vans would get up to 9,000."   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain-electric-subsidy-idUSKBN2BW25Y   HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 CHARGING From Reddit: "just found this video, can't read anything except 219 kW charging speed at 51% SOC which is insane :) (191 kW at 37%, 185 kW at 36%)"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrPOJnyxs-0   FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GOES TO SLEEP "Early models of the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E have a battery issue that may leave owners struggling to start their vehicles despite its being fully charged, according to a technical service bulletin that Ford sent to federal regulators." reports Detroit Free Press: "When this happens, Mach-E customers get notified by their FordPass app that the Mach-E is in "deep sleep" mode, TheVerge noted. The March 25 technical service bulletin filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration describes the situation in more technical terms: "12-Volt Battery Becomes Discharged While The Vehicle Is Plugged In During The High Voltage Charging Process." The issue affects vehicles built on or before Feb. 3, Ford said. While the company has touted the potential for over-the-air updates, this fix requires a dealer visit"   https://eu.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2021/04/09/mustang-mach-e-2021-battery-problem/7153778002/   XPENG TO BUILD FACTORY IN WUHAN "Chinese electric vehicle (EV) start-up Xpeng Motors, which counts Alibaba Group Holding and Xiaomi among its backers, is building a factory less than a year after its first assembly facility went online." says the South China Morning Post; "The New York Stock Exchange-listed carmaker will build a 7.89 million sq ft factory in Wuhan, it said on Thursday. The facility will have the capacity to assemble 100,000 EVs a year."   The big Chinese EV makers like NIO, Li Auto, WM Motor - they are the ones with the EX5 and the EX6 6-seater - all viewed as a potential rivals to Tesla.   https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3128812/chinese-ev-start-xpeng-build-factory-wuhan-less-year-after   HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC NOW OFFERS THE LONGEST RANGE OF ANY PLUG-IN CAR GRANT-ELIGIBLE VEHICLE "Hyundai Motor UK has reduced prices of its electric car range following changes to the government’s Plug-In Car Grant KONA Electric 64KWh now has the longest electric range – at 300 miles (WLTP) – of any Plug-In Car Grant-eligible vehicle"   Tesla Increases Model 3 & Y Prices...Again "Tesla Has Increased The Price Of Model 3 And Model Y Again In The Us – The Automaker’s Fourth price change in as many months this year. The price changes also come with a slight interior update." reports electrek: "It also comes as the US government is discussing reforming its EV incentive programs, which are likely going to affect Tesla prices. It’s something to keep an eye on since Tesla did decrease its prices when the EV incentive was taken away after it reached the threshold."   Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus: price went from $37,990 to $38,490 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD: price went from $46,990 to $47,490 Tesla Model 3 Performance: price went from $55,990. to $56,990 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: price went from $49,990 to $50,490 Tesla Model Y Performance: price went from $60,990 and stayed the same   https://electrek.co/2021/04/09/tesla-updates-model-3-interior-increases-prices-again/   93 MILES TESLA MODEL 3  "Tesla looks to take advantage of incentives for buyers of less expensive electric vehicles by offering a lower range Tesla Model 3, available in Canada.In 2019, Canada offered a $5,000 incentive for the purchase of an electric vehicle priced at $45,000 or less. The majority of the most popular-selling EVs in the country fell into the category of the incentive.   Tesla was excluded from the incentive because its Model 3 didn't land at or below the price requirement, which was $53,700." says Yahoo! Finance. Tesla never expected anyone to buy the bad Model 3, nor did it want to even sell the car in the first place. Until this week, you’ve never been able to configure the car on Tesla’s site. If you wanted the bad Model 3 for whatever reason, you had to order it in person or over the phone. That’s now changed, and that checkbox lets you build a 93-mile Model 3 if that’s something you’re interested in. Hell, Tesla’s apparently sold a few of them over the years, according to Electrek. The range on this version is software-locked (by limiting the battery capacity available for use), and you can’t pay to bring it up to 262 miles after the fact."   And electrek notes": This checkbox was not present on the Model 3 configurator until recently, according to Electrek. It indicates that perhaps Tesla is being forced to acknowledge the existence of this model on its website when it hasn’t for the past two years."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/less-expensive-tesla-model-3-200848321.html   TESLA OFFERS ELECTRICITY TARIFFS TO POWERWALL OWNERS IN GERMANY "Tesla has started offering its own electricity tariffs to some Powerwall owners in Germany. Together with the construction of a car factory, the company is preparing for a large-scale entry into the German electricity market with its hardware and software." says Tesmanian: "Green energy supplier Octopus Energy Germany recently began offering Tesla an electricity tariff. According to the website, it costs €78.95 per month with annual electricity consumption of 3,500 kilowatt-hours. This represents a savings of up to €66.48 per year over the regular Octopus Energy tariff."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-offers-electricity-rates-to-powerwall-owners-in-germany       QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   JAN AT EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM For my daily drive, I would have loved to have a new fresh version of the Volvo V60 to be electric. It is the perfect sized car for us. And of course, I need a towbar and the possibility to use a roof box on the car. But we also need to dream from time to time, and then I will take it all the way out and go for the Ferrari F8 Spider.   RAJEEV NARAYAN At the risk of sounding unoriginal, my vote would have to go to the upcoming Tesla Roadster. It promises to raise the bar in terms of EV performance, range and design. I cannot wait to see one in the wild.   JON MANCHAK My first thought was the Honda Civic. It’s a iconic car that is also close to my heart. The first car I bought was a 1999 Honda Civic Si. But, the more I thought about it I think we are asking the wrong question. We need new cars that take advantage of the flexibility of a EV platform. Much like packing engines into horse carriages made sense in the eyes of people before the automobile. We need flexibility in our vehicles that cater to our high density urban cities, suburbia and rural communities   ZAC MOSELEY FROM Classic Car Club Manhattan Mclaren. They’re on their way with the Artura hybrid, but it would be great to see them make a full EV. Beyond that it would be great to see them make a full ev 2+2 coupe, although that’s not likely on their radar! The first time I drove a 12C I thought, “man, if only these guys would make something to compete with an M3”. They’ve brought chassis engineering and suspension to a different level where cars can corner totally flat, but remain totally compliant to cope with the undulations of real world roads. Apply that, with their lightweight chassis to a coupe and make it all electric and you might just have the perfect car. Maybe make it an estate to really tick all the boxes!   LEIF VW ID.3, and because I live in the U.S., VW will only sell me the useless (for my purposes), bloated, expensive ID.4.  I have zero interest in Yet Another Damn $50k Crossover, okay?

Zatem: łoś kontra lew, czyli Volvo V60 kontra Peugeot 508. Posłuchajcie rozmowy, szczególnie że panowie mają różne zdania. Oczywiście podczas dyskusji jak zwykle, dzieje się dużo i nie jest nudno. Zatem również tradycyjnie – zapraszamy do wysłuchania i dyskusji. Zapraszamy także na naszą stronę Overdrive.com.pl

In our road test segment, we heat up the winter with the red-hot Dodge Durango SRT and the Volvo V60 T5 Cross Country. Both vehicles make short work of bad winter weather. In the interview segment of the program, host Jack Nerad takes a look at yet another all-wheel-drive vehicle, the AWD version of the new Chrysler Pacifica minivan. After a recent drive in the top-level Pinnacle version of the vehicle. he had a chance to sit down for a lengthy interview with Chrysler product planning manager Mary Ann Capo. In the news segment. Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague look at the sales winners and losers from 2020. And they also discuss a possible new model from Toyota that is lighting up the rumor mill. The Volvo Cross Countrys put a modern spin on the prosaic station wagon. The following is a transcription of Episode 36 of America on the Road. It was created with the aid of AI, so please forgive the inevitable grammatical errors. Jack Nerad 0:04 This is America on the Road winner of the International Automotive Media Conference Gold Medal Award for Radio and now in its 24th year on the air. Thanks for being with us as we bring you the latest automotive information from around the world. Plus this week we're going to take a quick look back at 2020. Talk about sales, among other things vehicle sales. America on the Road is brought to you by drivingtoday.com and the Coalition for Vehicle Choice. I'm Jack Nerad with me his co host, Chris Teague. Chris is based in Maine. He writes about cars and trucks for Ford authority, Forbes and driving today, among others. And he's enduring a pretty good day in Maine today, aren't you Chris? Chris Teague 0:43 Yeah, I'll take it above freezing in mid-January cannot be outdone in northern New England. Jack Nerad 0:48 Yeah, like that a lot. It's so early as we're doing the recording today. I haven't even looked outside barely. I can't tell whether it's cloudy or sunny or what it was still dark as I was preparing for this. So I can't do a Southern California weather report. But I guess we can live without that. What we will like to live with is our special guest who is Maryanne Keiko. She is the senior manager of the Christ, Christ their brand product planning, and we're gonna get a close up look at what to expect from the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. I talked to her about it at length at a recent event. And it now offers all-wheel-drive among other things. So we will get up close and personal with that really popular minivan from Chrysler. In the car you segment Chris will give us his opinion on what vehicle, Chris? Chris Teague 1:41 The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT. Jack Nerad 1:45 I tell you those SRT models are terrific as a little preface to what I might say in a moment. I just love those things. I had a very fun vehicle to drive, kind of on that order. In a way it is not precisely an SUV, kind of halfway between a station wagon and an SUV. It is the Volvo V60 T5 Cross Country. So those are our two road test vehicles. Before we do any of that, though, let's take a look at automotive news. And I think the big news was a year has ended and auto sales are in and we can report on that and particularly what it means to consumers — what it means to people like our listeners out there and not so much industry reporting. But reporting that is a valuable to you. One thing to know right off the top is the car sales dropped to their lowest level since the Great Recession, about 2009-2010. Sales were down 14.6%, which seems like a giant drop. But given what we've gone through the past year, I think that's kind of a positive, because sales were down more than twice that at the halfway mark. So we've been coming back. What's your take on that, Chris? Chris Teague 3:05 I agree. I think you know that when things started becoming apparent that they were going to get bad and probably bad for a long time — you and I talked about this last year — the automakers started issui...

Maybe the SUV you’re looking for isn’t the same as your neighbor’s. Not all of them are ginormous. Not all of them need a step ladder for entry. The Volvo V60 Cross Country offers SUV utility without the baggage. And if load gear on roof racks, this rig will make your life much easier. Tom Voelk checks out a loaded model with plenty of safety. 

Javier, Karl and Lauren ask “how many pure electric brands do we need”, before discussing the new Volvo V60, Lexus LC 500 and Mercedes-AMG GLC 43. They close with a look at increasing hurdles when getting older performance cars to pass California's emissions test.

We recently purchased the 2020 Audi Q7, so this week we discuss what's new in the freshening of this 3-row midsize SUV, give our take on the new dual screen infotainment system, and how it compares to competitors like the Mercedes-Benz GLS and the BMW X7. Also, with hurricane season in full swing, we talk about precautions drivers should consider when driving in heavy rain, what to do if you encounter flooded roads, and share some telltale signs a car might have been previously flooded when shopping for a used car. We also consider which sportback would be the best fit for a family vehicle, if shifting into neutral at traffic lights can save on gas (or potentially harm your vehicle,) and options for a fuel efficient subcompact SUV or a compact pickup truck to serve as a daily driver.     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

We also consider which sportback would be the best fit for a family vehicle, if shifting into neutral at traffic lights can save on gas (or potentially harm your vehicle,) and options for a fuel efficient subcompact SUV or a compact pickup truck to serve as a daily driver.     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

Wann een u Volvo denkt, denkt een u sécher Autoen, vlaicht och u Kombi‘en, awer secher net u sportlech Modeller. Mee genee esou een huet Volvo mam V60 Polestar Engineered zanter Kuerzem am Programm, an den Akim Schmit aus der Automag Equipe huet deen neie Modell méi genee ënnert d’Lupp geholl.

Wagon or 'crossover?' That's the question posed by the 2020 Volvo V60 T5 Cross Country, and after a week behind the wheel Benjamin is pretty sure he's got the answer as to which one you want in your driveway. Sami then picks things up with a look at the 2020 Cadillac XT4 SUV, which he wishes tried just a little bit harder. Finally, the pair discuss the new Dodge Durango Hellcat as well as Benjamin's review of Veloce Publishing's latest buying guide for the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.

200425 - Volvo v60 by Derrière le Volant

Už máš nejaký piatok od ukončenia vzdelávania? Už máš dosť financií na kúpu lepšieho auta? Tak prečo nie Volvo! A V60 je celkom veľké, aj keď nie je takou loďou ako V90. #Volvo #V60 #automobilovypodcast

Neste episódio falamos da nova Volvo V60 Cross Country, do primeiro Airbag multi-colisão do mundo, da obrigatoriedade de novas tecnologias de segurança e de uma prova francesa com história.

Plus the Subaru Outback, and a deep dive into the mailbag

On this episode of the “Autoweek Podcast,” Natalie Neff joins Mike Pryson, Wesley Wren and “Autoweek Podcast” enthusiasm contributor Chris Langrill to celebrate the end of the NASCAR season by reviewing the classic flick “Fireball 500” from 1966. For those unaware, “Fireball 500” takes all of the happy-go-lucky fun from the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello Beach Party series and brings it (and them) to the stock car world. Weird? We thought so, too. But the gang dissects the plot of the movie, finds its highlights and points out its considerable flaws.   Closing the show, Andrew Stoy, Wesley, Jake Lingeman and Wes Raynal hop on microphones to give you an update of the Autoweek Fleet. The guys then dive deep into the Lexus GX460, the Volvo V60 T8 Polestar and the Hyundai Santa Fe.

WLS News Anchor Rob Martier, DriveChicago.com General Manager Mark Bilek and Chicago Auto Show Marketing Director Jim OBrill review Volvo V60 wagon, talk automotive news and upcoming events. And Jim will share his experiences from the SEMA show in Las Vegas last week.

Avsnitt 149: Vi berättar om när vi tussade ihop BMW 3-serie, Volvo V60 och Volkswagen Passat för att göra upp. Dessutom har vi provkört förnyade Toyota C-HR och har finbesök av tidningen Klassiker.

Herrjeh wie oft hören Jens Dralle und Sebastian Renz das eigentlich, dass es ja eh keine schlechten Autos mehr gebe und es daher ja eigentlich egal sei, was man für eines fährt. Was für ein Unsinn, finden die beiden in Büro 408 und in der neuen Folge von Übersteuern, dem auto motor und sport-Podcast über die Begeisterung fürs Auto. Also sortieren sich die beiden mal durch eine schöne Auswahl an guten und nicht so guten neuen Autos. Ob sie dabei wirklich schlechte finden? Na aber sicher doch. Oder zumindest solche, deren Charakter besondere Ausprägungen besitzt. Da ergibt einen schönen Mix aus Strebern und Sonderlingen: VW Tiguan, Nissan X-Trail, Skoda Scala, Dacia Sandero, Volvo V60, Alfa Guilia, Jaguar XE. Und wie kommt jetzt eigentlich einer auf den Toyota Paseo oder den Fiat Marea Weekend? Na, hören Sie selbst.

Friday 23rd February 2018. On the podcast today… we’ll talk about the island Renault are taking over for an experiment with electricity, and how Williams F1 team could be making the next EV you buy.   HARLEY ELECTRIFIES   Well as Steppenwolf wrote in 1969, get your motor running, head out on the highway.  If you ride a Harley Davidson, maybe you were born to be wild. But from next year you might be heading out on electrons instead. The first e-motorcycle from Harley is coming in 2019.   They’re spending between $25-50 million dollars on e-bike development but, on their recent earning call, weren’t ready to share more details.  All we’ve seen is their LiveWire concept but the specs weren’t spectacular a couple of years ago – 50mile range and 93mph top speed. For any Harley Davidson rider that is simply not good enough.   Big jumps in EV technology happened in the car world but there are surprisingly few really large bike makers moving forward with e-bikes.   New registrations of motorbikes in the US have been flat since 2008, the age of owners has also been getting older, so maybe a move to electrification with top performance, it might inspire a new generation or riders.   https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/22/harley-davidsons-ev-debut-could-electrify-the-motorcycle-industry/   ISLAND LIFE IS GOOD FOR RENAULT’S POWER PROJECT   Next, how do you fancy a trip to a sunshine island which Renault is using as a proving ground for renewables and EVs? Porto Santo is where Renault have been allowed to install the perfect trifecta of climate friendly energy and transport – renewables, feeding into used EV batteries, which feed into your electric car.   Now this isn’t exactly desert island territory, there are over 5,000 residents but they find themselves in the same situation as the small islands in American Samoa, which you might have read about in 2016…when Tesla completed their purchase of SolarCity they wired up the island with Powerpacks to help reduce the diesel shipments they were reliant on for generators, and to keep the lights on.   Porto Santo will get 14 Zoes and 6 Kangoo vans, they’ll get 40 charge points, they’ll get V2G and even second-life battery packs for cloudy or non-windy days. Porto Santo will be a proving ground because if it works for 5,000 residents the technology could be scaled up.   http://www.thedrive.com/tech/18666/renaults-smart-island-is-powered-by-renewable-energy-and-used-electric-car-batteries   FORMULA 1 TEAM COULD MAKE YOUR NEXT ELECTRIC CAR   'Tis the season to unveil Formula 1 cars, with their V6 hybrid engines. But one of the racers, Williams, is unveiling a lot more.   Williams Advanced Engineering has a new lightweight EV platform, which is basically a skateboard design of batteries with 4 wheels, advanced suspension and a crash structure. It includes innovations in battery design and particularly cooling – which will need to be advanced if we want to increase charge rate – and in turn bring down rapid charging times.   Williams will make the platform available for others to build their own electric vehicles on top of.   http://www.insidecomposites.com/exhibitions-conferences/williams-to-unveil-new-approach-to-evs/   IT’S ALIVE! TESLONDA IS THE MASH-UP OF YOUR NIGHTMARES   Let me introduce you to another Frankenstein project - The Teslonda. Now we’ve seen these from people like Quest in the UK who made an estate / shooting brake Tesla but cutting the top off, and bonding on some carbon fibre. That was a less in design and engineering, it looked gorgeous and they’ve confirmed there’s more to come.   However this new project one, not so much along the same lines. This is a 1980s Honda Accord which has a Tesla drivetrain bolted inside and because of that the rear wheels have to be a lot wider than the original Accord body.  It’s fair to say, this isn’t exactly a looker, but boy does it go. It’s made for drag racing, and Jimmy (the man responsible) says 2.5 seconds 0-60 is achievable.   And the mash up get worse, or better, depending on your point of view, as it uses a Chevvy volt battery pack to move the salvaged Tesla powertrain.   https://www.autoevolution.com/news/teslonda-is-a-tesla-powered-1980s-honda-accord-that-hits-60-mph-in-27-seconds-123737.html   VOLVO UNVEILS THE PLUG-IN V60   Well moving onto Volvo, and according to autonews.com, are accelerating their shift to EVs with a choice of new Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) powertrains. The new Volvo V60 will be on the market soon, and of course Volvo were one of the first to promise a form of electrification will be on every new model starting in 2019.   This new V60 comes with a choice of two engines. There’s a T6 engine giving you 336hp alongside the electric motor, and the T8 Twin Engine PHEV, for 386hp with electric motor. U.S. customers will only get the larger engine but both models will be all wheel drive. The European choices will include petrol engines but also Diesel engines as well.   That’s a curious decision in the week Porsche said they would no longer be selling diesels because their customers don’t want them.  In January 2018 for example, in the UK, the market share of diesel PHEVs was tiny.   The V60 will be up against the likes of the Audi A4, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 series.   http://www.autonews.com/article/20180221/COPY01/302219937/volvo-speeds-up-electrification-with-new-v60-wagon   WHEN IT COMES TO BATTERIES IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY   Next we’re talking about battery prices and according to Bloomberg.com £100/kWh is the magic figure to get down to, which they’re predicting will be reached in 2025, that’s from £200/kWh at present. They say large cars and SUVs will be the first segments to reach price parity with internal combustion engines, whilst smaller city cars will require a price of $80/kWh to be price comparative.   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-21/the-battery-holds-the-key   AFRICAN ADVENTURE FOR POLISH EXPLORERS IN A NISSAN LEAF   And finally what’s the farthest you’ve driven an EV, and if you don’t have one but are thinking of it, what’s the farthest you’d go?  Well how about two explorers from Poland doing the first ever electric expedition across Africa.   Their journey just began using a first-gen Nissan LEAF. They say: Traveling across Africa is probably the hardest test for any vehicle, not only an EV," said Fiedler. "Poor roads, limited charging infrastructure and dramatically diverse weather conditions – from equatorial storms to the scorching heat of the Sahara – these are just a few challenges that we'll have to face during the expedition.   They say they’ve travelled over 4,000kms in Poland in the LEAF as a test.  The journey started in Cape Town last week and we’ll track their journey, as they travel across South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania and Morocco.   None of those places exactly have fast chargers every 100 miles! Good luck to them, we’ll follow their journey, and update you on the podcast.   http://www.autocarpro.in/news-international/ev-expedition-africa-begins-28167       Thank you for listening today, I hope you've enjoyed it. We'd love to spread the word about electric cars so please do share this with at least one person who might be interested.   Just a reminder you can listen to all of our previous podcasts on iTunes and now Good Play for your Android devices, whilst you’re there why not Subscribe for free and then you get them automatically.   It would really mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on iTunes which will help us spread the word to a wider audience about electric cars.   If you have an Amazon Echo, why not be one of the first to download our brand new Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Twitter @EVNewsDaily, have a wonderful day, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Benjamin feels conflicted about the Volvo V60 Polestar being essentially a $61,000 tuner car, while Sami reminisces about the time he went to England to drive the new MINI Countryman, which was actually just last week.

Wo Volvo draufsteht, ist auch Volvo drin! Das war schon immer so und das wird sich sicher auch nicht mehr ändern! Was mir allerdings gut gefällt, ist die Tatsache, dass Volvo in jüngster Zeit immer sportlicher wird. Das gilt auch für den jüngsten Spross, den V 60. Was das V im Namen bedeutet, darüber sprechen wir gleich.
