2022 V60 Recharge Boot Space Reduction...

[JoeAlexEast]

Hi all. Wondering if anyone has been able to verify a possible reduction in boot space in the updated MY22 V60 Recharge models? It appears to have been reduced from 529l to 471l. It still quotes 529l on the main V60 Recharge landing page, but when you click through into engine specifications and select the T6 350hp model it states the reduced volume - https://www.volvocars.com/uk/cars/ne...ations/engines...

I hope not, as that was the key thing that swung us in favour of Volvo. If you select the T8 Polestar Engineered it still shows 529l, so presumably one of those must be wrong because I think they are exactly the same in terms of battery and electric motor.

If anyone can find out definitively I'd be very interested as we have a car on order but it's not too late to cancel just yet.

Same here. May also need to cancel my order if there has been such a large reduction.

I suspect the Polestar in that list is the previous generation, the T8 AWD 455hp is the MY22 model, I think. It also shows 471l.

Anyone heard anymore on this?

I have a v60 polestar engineered in order and any loss of boot space would not be good ! Also is it just me or is the polestar engineered not showing I. The Volvo Configurator anymore ?

I’m also interested in this as I have one of the new models on order. The Volvo website is odd on the V60 page. It still has a section dedicated to BLIS despite not being even optional on V60s for the past 6 months, and as you say, they have updated the electric range but kept the cargo space at 530 litres. Despite there being other sources now showing the smaller figure. We really need someone to receive or test one to know for sure but I would be pretty disappointed with a boot space reduction.

I noticed the same thing. I guess they are not selling any polestars for rest of this model year.

My dealer is checking...although, I asked nearly two weeks ago and they still haven't been able to confirm it, which seems very odd!

[JoeAlexEast]

Latest update from the dealer is they may have identified a reduction, but not able to confirm exactly what the new capacity is. Still seems to be conflicting information depending where you look.

If this is indeed a 455bhp version https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-det...?atmobcid=soc3 then there doesn’t appear to be any loss of boot space,
