Subscription-Only Vehicles

The S60 T8 Polestar is a Performance-Focused Hybrid Vehicle From Volvo

— July 4, 2018 — Autos
The Care by Volvo subscription service offers customers a plethora of Volvo vehicles but the new S60 T8 Polestar will be the first car available exclusively through the service. By launching this vehicle exclusively through the Care by Volvo subscription service, Volvo hopes to draw in more customers while giving existing customers the incentive to stay with it. Releasing the S60 T8 Polestar in this manner also allows Volvo a launching pad for the vehicle and perhaps other cars in the future.

The vehicle itself carries an all-wheel-drive system and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is both Supercharged and Turbocharged. This allows the vehicle to generate 415 horsepower and 494 pound-feet of torque, providing 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds. The S60 T8 Polestar is also a hybrid and features an electric powertrain.
