I tried to talk my wife into the exact same car but she wasn't having it even after I said that this V60PE was going to be a classic that will be in high demand in the years to come. She said the S90 is our first luxury car and is so comfortable that she won't hear of trading it. I told her that after paying just under 40K in March, CarMax offered 43K today but she says she enjoys riding in it but feels like it isn't intuitive when driving it.
I will admit the reason we bought the S90 is that I was apprehensive about the oil burning issue even though we hadn't had any problems but also that the back seat of our 2015 V60 was really only suitable for small children or amputees. Even telling her that the new V60 has 2" more rear seat legroom didn't budge her.
 
Congrats to the OP! I'm trying to talk my wife into this car right now! It's between this or a V90CC for us - we need more family room than our little Audi.

Curious if anyone with Thunder Grey would be willing to shoot some video? I love the color when I see it on other Volvos but I'm not sure if I would love it on the V60PE. Ideally, would be great to see it driving from an exterior perspective and I'd also like to see with the door open so you can see the interior/exterior color combo. Big ask, I know, but I bet I'm not the only one!
 
Early production in 2021 had the paddles. Depends on when the vehicle was built. Unclear whether early 21 had lower speed limit or heated rear seats which were on the late ones.
My 2021 V60 PE has paddles, cargo cover, heated rear seats. Couldn't tell you about the speed limiter. I have a wife and kid to look after ;) . It'll go 85 with zero problems, though. It is in Osmium Gray Metallic, which looks similar too the ones that you have.

It goes about 20 miles on a charge around town.

what geos is this available in? I don't see any optional equipment still for the US, unless their site is just jacked?
The only option the car has now is the powerlift gate. When I ordered mine it was still standard but on my window sticker it shows optional. The car doesn’t have any other options

Thanks! I’m loving the car so far. I have a few other pics of the car. I don’t have any with the door open but when I get back to it in a couple days I can take some. I was hesitant as well about the Thunder Gray on this car having not seen it before ordering. It’s a lot more blue which I love. I think it’s a great match with the black interior and gold belts.

Someone asked about electric range, I'm getting the regular 23ish miles on electric only.

Heh, I take it back. The Osmium Gray has much more "silver" in it than yours does. I think that yours looks a bit like the dolphin gray that Saabs could be had in, back in the day.
 
Really love the new gray... Makes me dislike my stone black even more. Black looks great for five minutes after I wash, if I don't look too closely and notice the tiny scratches. And then it's looks dirty. This gray is fantastic.
 
I just hate that the main v60s come in more colors than the PE. Would love the fjord blue the c6p gets. I have osram but ill likely wrap it as its a pretty boring color

Congratulations! What a nice color for the PE.

Ceramic coating is what you need. I do agree Stone Black is a PITA to keep nice. But since getting mine coated, it stays damn sexy the majority of the time.

I've got PPF on the entire front end, which is amazing. But from what I've been told, ceramic makes it easier to clean, but the small scratches still happen and they bother me more. For another 3k (correction + cquartz finest)... I'd be better if with more PPF or just getting annual polishing.

Great pics, thanks for sharing! Definitely the best color for '22 for me. I'd go with this or white. Black looks good too, but such a headache to keep it clean.

Keep us posted on how you're liking the car! I'm especially interested in how it rides and if you feel there is enough cargo/storage space. Cheers!
 
Front seats are the same "contour" sport seats as the R-Design model.

Loving the thunder grey!
