Hi everyone! I recently posted about a 2019 S60 T8 Polestar that I was considering buying and got a lot of helpful feedback recommending the 2022.5+ Extended Range cars instead.

I’ve narrowed my search down to a 2022.5 S60 T8 Extended Range Inscription and a 2023 S60 T8 Plus. They’re priced pretty similarly, but I prefer the features and interior of the 2022.5.

What I’m having trouble figuring out is exactly what changed between 2022.5 and 2023. From what I can tell, the 2022.5 Extended Range is kind of a sweet spot: it gets the updated drivetrain and larger battery but still has the earlier styling and option packages.

The VIN / window sticker confirms that the 2022.5 I’m looking at is an Extended Range car.

Is there a definitive breakdown of the differences between the 2022.5 Extended Range cars and the 2023 models? Is there anything that would make the 2023 worth choosing over a well-optioned 2022.5?

Hi everyone! As a former S60R owner (spaceball, of course) and a current Saab Viggen owner, I am ready for my next quirky Swedish car. I am looking to purchase a T8 Volvo of some kind and am debating between a few options.

I found a 2019 S60 T8 Polestar with 42k miles, which I love, but it's the first Iteration of this complex twincharged hybrid system, so I am concerned about long-term maintenance costs and reliability.

For the same price, I could get a 2022.5 S60 T8 Extended Range with similar or lower miles.

Is it worth taking the risk for the Polestar, or is it a better decision to go for the newer non-polestar?

I am also considering the XC60 T8 variant since there's quite a lot more available and my wife prefers the XC60 to the S60.

This will be a daily driver I intend to keep for many years, so my goal is to get the most value for my money. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
