There is no other car with a supercharger, turbocharger, and electric motor in one package!Owner: Lawrence Tay

There is no other car on the market (as stock) that comes with a supercharger, turbocharger, and electric motor, all put into one performance-orientated package that brings together sportiness, comfort, and economy.Owner: Lawrence Tay

There is no getting away from the fact a Volvo XC60 Polestar is not a cheap car. However, having made the decision to spend the money it is hard to think of many other vehicles on the Australian market that offer the same level and balance of performance, comfort and economy in the real world. This is an relatively early review but after a few thousand km of mixed city and highway driving we are averaging under 5l per 100km and yet have the just over 5 sec to 100kph performance available whenever you wish to use it. The most impressive thing of all in the Hybrid drivetrain is the totally seamless nature of the way it all functions. People don't believe it until they drive it. The interior is simply a comfortable classy place to be with outstanding seats, incredible quietness and top shelf finishes. Some reviews have complained about the firm ride however we find it comfortable and very well damped with the adjustable Ohlins set up in "standard setting". The handling is not Porsche level however is more than capable of dealing with anything we (or I would suggest virtually all owners) are likely to actually use. The steering weighting is adjustable however we find the medium setting to be a good balance for ease around town and highway accuracy. The various safety systems are what you would expect in a Volvo while the Pilot Assist Autonomous Driving is nothing short of amazing on long drives. The Sensus system has been easy to get used to with the only issue being the sheer breadth and depth of systems available. The Bowers and Wilkins sound system is the best I have ever heard in a car bar none. If I had a gripe it would be the fiddly key set up with only one 'master key" which is a bit clunky and harder than it should be. We think the SUV looks great and we get lots of positive comments from others about the appearance. We also kind of like that they are not common. The 5 year warranty (& we got 3 years free servicing) sweeten the price a little bit too. So my summary would be that if you can take a breath and pay close to 100 for a Volvo you might think it is actually not bad value particularly if you are looking for a longer ownership proposition. All in all we are very happy with the car so far.
