Hello,

I am looking to buy a used volvo V60, 2019 onwards. But I have having a lot of trouble finding what the different trim levels mean. There is the momentum, but then there is also the momentum se ii, momentum advanced plus...

While on the official website I only see momentum, inscprition and R design.

Appologies if this is the wrong place to ask

I belive that the diffrent momentum ones depends on what year it was. In the beggining of the new chassi they changed the exhaust, gearknob and some other things

They've had like 3 different ways of naming the trim levels. And from year to year quite a few things change even within the same trim level (some things have even been removed in later years of the same trim level).

It's best to look at the specifications.

I think that the levels used to go (from least to most expensive):

  • Momentum
  • Momentum Business
  • Momentum Advanced
  • R-Design <- Just a design package, but could be had with a sport chassi I think?
  • Inscription Expression <- less than Inscription
  • Inscription <- highest
  • Polestar Engineered <- Got cool-looking golden brembo brakes but also öhlin dampers that people seem to hate. I think it comes with an ECU map.

But nowadays there's

  • Core
  • Plus
  • Ultimate
  • Polestar Engineered

where all but Polestar Engineered are also available in a "Dark" or "Bright" theme (Polestar Engineered is always dark).

Note that Polestar Engineered is both the name of a trim level and the name for an official ECU map ("Polestar Engineered Optimisation"). Not at all confusing...

But some of the things available in the higher trims can be added to the lower trims.

I would say that Momentum Advanced is the sweet spot.


As for the engines, T are gas engines (T6 can be either gas or gas+electric plugin hybrid, T8 is always gas+electric plugin hybrid), D are diesel, B are mild hybrid gas or diesel (confusingly enough, you can't tell if a B4 is a diesel mild hybrid or gas mild hybrid). Higher numbers is better, but the number do not correspond to anything physical anymore (a long time ago T4 denoted a 4 cylinder engine and T5 a 5 cylinder engine, but now... T5 is just more than T4).
