Overview
Maybe more than any other automaker, Volvo is synonymous with wagons. We're talking European-style wagons, mind you, not the massive Country Squires that once roamed America's highways. Volvo wagons from the 1980s symbolized Euro sophistication, a certain aspirational price, and the automaker's obsession with innovative safety features. Today, Volvo offers three wagon models in the U.S., including the 2023 Volvo V60 Recharge. The others, the V60 Cross Country and larger V90 Cross Country, have a taller ride height and a different all-wheel-drive system that give them modest off-road ability. They're reviewed separately here on Edmunds.

EPA Estimated Electric Range
The V60 will automatically switch to gas when the electric battery is low.Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.
Estimated range mapThis map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Columbus, Ohio. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip. Actual range will vary depending on the condition of this vehicle’s battery pack, how you drive, driving conditions and other factors.

Batteries that lose capacity more rapidly than expected should be eligible for replacement under warranty. Coverage of additional hybrid components beyond the battery itself will vary by automaker.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

Monthly estimates based on costs in Ohio
Modified and tuned by Volvo's Polestar Engineered performance division, the 2023 V60 Recharge comes with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive (the gas engine powers the front wheels, the electric motor powers the rear). The combination generates 455 horsepower and up to 41 miles of electric range on a full charge. A sport-tuned exhaust system, sport suspension with Öhlins manually adjustable dampers, Brembo performance brakes, structural bracing, 19-inch lightweight wheels and summer tires help turn all that gas-electric power into performance. Volvo says acceleration to 60 mph takes just 4.4 seconds, making the V60 Recharge not only an efficient wagon with 31 mpg combined, but also a speedy one.
With seating for five people and up to 50.9 cubic feet of cargo space (with the rear seats folded), the V60 Recharge is nearly as practical as your typical compact crossover luxury SUV. The V60 Recharge is also the only game in town. There simply aren't any other compact performance wagons left, let alone one with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. If you want to drive something that your neighbors won't have and you'll rarely see on the highway, consider the V60 Recharge.
Which V60 does Edmunds recommend?
There's only one version of the V60 Recharge, the T8 Polestar Engineered. It comes loaded with features but is offered in just four colors: white, gray, silver or black. So pick your shade of conformity. It's like Volvo wants to make doubly sure that your V60 is a total sleeper.
Volvo V60 models
The 2023 Volvo V60 Recharge is a five-seat wagon based on the Volvo S60 sedan. The only available trim level is the T8 Polestar Engineered.

The EPA estimates it can also provide about 41 miles of electric-only range. Keep reading for our curated list of the V60's standard and optional features.

I bought the cheapest V60 in the US and I love it!
5 out of 5 starsMosswagon, 08/09/2019
2019 Volvo V60 T5 Momentum 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Since you can only get the (non-cross country) V60 by special order I can't imagine most people are trying to buy the base model in this luxury segment. The starting price for 2019 on the T5 Momentum was $38,900. I fell in love with the cloth (City Weave) seats only offered on this trim so it wasn't a hard decision.
You don't need all the bells and whistles. I saved over $5,000 … skipping the Advanced and Multimedia packages. Volvo's navigation is unnecessary now that Apple Carplay and Android Auto allow for Google maps and I honestly don't mind the smaller 8" digital display for the driver. The base stereo wasn't that bad compared to the mid-level HK either.
The default auto braking system when backing into traffic was a little startling at first - especially in city traffic. But I had no problem reducing the sensitivity through the touch screen. Then again, I’m the type of guy who really enjoys going through the manual and clicking through every feature until I am familiar with the system. I actually love how many things are customizable. A lot of journalists complain about the HVAC controls in the touch screen however I use the voice command system to adjust the temp. with no issues.
This was in the running with the top trim Subaru Outback and VW Alltrack. The Alltrack was a little more tossable in the corners even with its lifted ride height. I really was surprised by how much fun it was to drive - so much so that we test drove it twice! The VW was definitely the runner-up simply for its driving dynamics. The Outback’s CVT was a deal breaker - not mention it’s hideous looking (subjective, I know). The only thing I really enjoyed about the Subaru was how big it felt on the inside - especially the back seats. In the end we chose the base Volvo for a few thousand more. It’s more comfortable, quiet, and luxurious inside. The egress and ingress is what you’d expect compared to a CUV but I don’t have any issues putting my kid in his rear-facing child seat. The cargo is big enough for our family’s needs.
I totally get why people hate on the new Volvo touch screen. Having the HVAC on the screen is definitely not my preference but the Volvo voice command system is great. We test drove a lot of CUVs and wagons (Outback, Alltrack, TourX, Hybrid Rav4, etc) and the Volvo screen was by far the most responsive - especially with the new chip update. Luckily there is still a button for max defrost. Would I prefer more physical buttons? Sure. But have you seen the body lines on the V60 wagon? It’s a worthy trade-off. In the end, it’s by far the most beautiful car I’ve ever owned. I’ve never looked back at my car in the parking lot until owning this V60.
** UPDATE **
Still love this wagon! If I had to find a minor complaint it would be the city fuel economy. Most of my driving is around town and not on the freeway. The sticker said 24mpg city but I've been lucky to get 20mpg over more than a year. That's pretty bad for a four cylinder engine right? Otherwise this is still the best looking wagon on the market and I still love the City Weave seats.

2020 Volvo V60 T5 R-Design 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Last of European Car Companies to offer R/T air and lodging for their Overseas Delivery Program.
Order custom options with 8% off MSRP and drive with full coverage and registration for 15 days as an additional incentive. FYI, the T6 is not available for 2020 contrary to info stated. T5 has a Polestar Option ($1166) which adds 28 HP to the base 250 turbo and bumps ft lbs to 317 from … 295.
Concern regarding our 10/8/19 Gothenburg Delivery will be how tight the suspension might be! But sleek look and Wagon space, coming from an Audi A7, will be interesting! Atleast unsurpassed safety!
Go for Inscription if ventilated seats, AWD, and the massage feature are a must. Paul P. Stuart, FL

2019 Volvo V60 T5 Momentum 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
First 2500 miles, the T5 Cross Country is quick and responsive. Physically, it's about the size of the XC70 but has more back seat room. You loose a little cargo room, but the kids are happier. The infotanment is an IPad, if you can't use it, give up on tech. By far the easiest system.

2020 Volvo V60 T5 Momentum 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
This is the fourth Volvo I have owned, I love that it provides me with the driving stability of a car but the capacity to haul stuff like an SUV, perhaps even better because the low ground clearance makes putting things in the trunk area or getting them out extremely easy, I also love to know I drive a vehicle that not many people chose, so it makes me unique. The most important factor … is the safety aspects that Volvo provides and ensures in all their car, V60 included. Gas mileage is excellent, I am averaging 34 mpg with lots of city driving. The design is flawless inside and out and Volvo has THE BEST seats any car manufacturer makes

Volvo V60 vs. Lincoln Aviator
As a sporty wagon with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the V60 Recharge is a unicorn. That makes direct comparisons with SUVs difficult, especially since many consider wagons specifically because they're not SUVs. But the Lincoln Aviator deserves praise for its upscale interior, swift acceleration and cushy ride. Its taller height and greater length make it no match for the Volvo's sporty handling, and it only gets about 21 miles of electric range. Then again, it also seats seven passengers.
Volvo V60 vs. Audi Q5
Audi discontinued the plug-in hybrid version of its A7, a swoopy sedan/hatchback that, although not a wagon, offered similar low-slung style, cargo space and utility. The plug-in Q5 is a worthy replacement, however. It's about 4 inches shorter than the V60 but offers a bit more cargo space. It falls short of the Volvo with just 23 miles of electric range, but it's just as refined inside and lively when taking a quick turn. It's also got more rear seat room.
Volvo V60 vs. Volvo V60 Cross Country
The other version of the 2023 Volvo V60 is the Cross Country. It's a lot more affordable, but it uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid assist — in this case, an electric supercharger — for 247 hp. All-wheel drive is standard, and the Cross Country has a raised suspension with 8.2 inches of ground clearance, making it suitable for some off-road travel. Still, it's nowhere near as entertaining on a paved road as the V60 Recharge.
