The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess
Pros: lasted just under 10 years, remarkable lifespan
Cons: much more expensive
Vehicle:
Volvo
I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.
Pros: lasted over 13 years, good in cold weather
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
Mileage: 249448 km
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:

I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.
Pros: deplete battery first
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.
Pros: rear wheels always powered
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Only things that went a couple months back was the EGR and a window mechanism. And the battery a year before.
