Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Volvo V60 Polestar

Power:

No matter what, 345 horsepower doesn’t sound particularly impressive. I mean, that’s just a little more powerful than the V6 Chevrolet Camaro. But the turbocharged engine also makes 369 lb-ft of torque and that means the V60 always feels powerful. Zero to 60 MPH is dealt with in just 4.8 seconds.

There is never a situation where I felt the V60 Polestar couldn’t overtake or pass another car. It always felt like it was going to accomplish anything I asked of it, like a loyal servant, but with serious muscle.
