V60 D5/D6 hybrid with 81K on the clock, battery gives me between 24 and 27 miles so very little if any degradation. I am really happy with mine, comfortable to drive, excellent motorway cruiser, although I too will be selling it soon. I have not heard of any Volvo's with significant battery issues so I wouldn't be concerned on that score.
I don't find the maintenance costs any more than my previous vehicle (Audi A4 estate). I am no longer commuting and it just isn't being driven enough to justify it. We already have two other cars, a Leaf which we use for general running around - was my wifes commuting car but she is now working from home full time like me, and a Discovery 3 which we use when we go away with our two children as we need the space, and for towing heavy trailers. If I ever go back to having a significant 5 day a week commute I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. |

An unrelated (but sort of related) question to the owners of D6 and D5 Twin Engine models.
Am I correct in thinking the rear wheels are only driven by an electric motor? So the car loses its AWD ability if the batteries are flat? Also do the batteries charge on the move? Thanks

The battery will not be flat very often as it will charge on the move through regeneration and also it will charge when you are driving due to the High voltage 3 phase AC generator/Starter , there are many configurations in the menu ...

Thanks for the reply. The D6 was an option but have bought a V60 Cross Country at the weekend
