Volvo's XC60 T6 R-Design represents the latest Volvo to hit the line-up from Swedish performance tuners Polestar.  Volvo is fortunate enough to be the only auto brand Polestar partners with.

R-Design packs a mean punch with its 3.0-liter, 325-hp, 354-lb-ft turbocharged inline-six, which has 25 horsepower and 29 lb-ft of torque more than standard T6 trims. You can put that power to use in the snow as well, due to the all-wheel drive…

It is pretty well known that driving a manual car will be a little better at the gas pump than its automatic counterpart.  The big V however, has set out to disprove this. This makes sense since they are already a leader in the effort among European automakers to reduce CO₂ emissions. Volvo's newest achievement of equalizing gas consumption among automatic and manual transmissions truly demonstrates their commitment.

"For the first time ever…
