Have had this a couple of weeks now, 2019 S60 ‘T5’ R-design Edition. Denim Blue with half leather interior.


I’m now a Volvo head as most of you all now know so after giving my 2005 P2 to my Dad after having to scrap the A3, a Volvo was the only real option. Picked it up from Norwich via Volvo Selekt so plenty of warranty and servicing included.


Being the R-design Edition trim level it comes with all the bells and whistles - heads-up display, Harmon/Kardon sound system, heated electric memory driver seat, heated electric passenger seat, heated steering wheel, Pilot Assist and ACC, rear camera, 20” wheels, lowered chassis, Blindspot/Lane assist, digital dash, Smartphone interface and a lot more safety related things with silly acronyms 😬


Won’t be doing much to it as everything is mostly software based but I’ve added a set of 10mm Eibach spacers and genuine front and rear mudflaps. I will get the rear windows tinted sometime soon along with a minor paint correction and some sort of coating.


I could be swayed towards the warranty-friendly Polestar Engineered software tune at some stage too, but for now just enjoying driving it and wafting in comfort. 250bhp standard, 8 speed auto front wheel drive, I’m seeing high 40s/low 50s (on screen, not calculated) mpg so pretty happy with that.


Different to the normal of A4/3series out there, not too many about! The S90 was just too big and this was a deal I couldn’t really turn down.

Nice! Hard to beat a nice Volvo. What's the boot like in the saloon?

All the modern volvo’s look well and yet don’t really see many about, htd.

What engine is in these? Some sort of hybrid boost to power?

Something similar to your old one, back seats don’t fold down though is the only thing I’ve noticed.

2.0 turbo in this one, the T6 is turbo/super and then the T8 is petrol/hybrid
