Edmunds Rating

The XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid surprises with its design and straight-line performance. The Recharge quietly excels at the things real drivers need: acceleration and interior usability. But its complicated powertrain, underwhelming handling and poor low-speed drivability preclude us from recommending it over the simpler and more accessible T6.

2021 Volvo XC60 Hybrid Review

byMark Takahashi^{Correspondent
Mark Takahashi has worked in the automotive industry since 2001. He has written thousands of car-related articles and tested and reviewed hundreds of vehicles over the course of his career.}

Pros

Elegant interior design
Spacious second-row seating
Impressively quick acceleration
Many standard safety tech features

Cons

Hard to brake and accelerate smoothly
Too many controls tied to frustrating touchscreen interface
Ride is a bit busier than expected for a luxury SUV

What's new

Former T8 plug-in hybrid is now called Recharge
Adaptive headlights, hands-free liftgate and rear USB-C ports added as standard
Part of the second XC60 generation introduced for 2018

There aren't a lot of choices if you're in the market for a small luxury SUV that benefits from a plug-in hybrid system. Thankfully, those choices are quite good and include the 2021 Volvo XC60 Recharge. Formerly called the T8, the Recharge packs 400 horsepower and can go about 19 miles on all-electric power before switching to regular hybrid operation.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2021 Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 R-Design 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.10 per gallon for premium unleaded and $0.14 per kWh for electricity in Virginia.}

The XC60 Recharge sets itself apart from the BMW X3 plug-in variant with its distinctive Scandinavian flair and smart cargo area. Unfortunately, it also drives differently from the BMW and non-hybrid XC60s, with inconsistent braking and lazy handling characteristics. There's also the Mercedes-Benz GLC. It's our top-rated choice in the non-hybrid category, but we haven't fully evaluated the GLC 350e plug-in yet.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

6.5/10

How does the XC60 drive? The Recharge needs only 5.1 seconds to reach 60 mph. That's a full second ahead of the T6. Unfortunately, the handoff between regenerative and friction braking is grabby and inconsistent. The pedal modulation feels better in the vehicle's B drive mode but is never completely sorted.

Handling suffers with the Recharge as well. The air suspension keeps the car comfortable in the flats but doesn't work as well on twisty roads. The front and rear of the XC60 feel a bit out of sync, resulting in lazy body motions. The steering has vague on-center feel, quick initial turn-in and artificially light weighting, which is nice, but there's also kickback from harsher bumps and irregular road surfaces.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the XC60? Even in its softest suspension setting, the air suspension doesn't filter out most high-frequency road vibrations. Wind is the most prominent noise, with road noise a close second, but neither is loud or unpleasant. The ride is a little busy and unsettled for a luxury crossover, so we recommend avoiding the large 20-inch wheels.

Seating comfort is the XC60's strong point thanks largely to the highly adjustable massaging seats and well-padded surfaces. Unlike the XC60 T6, the Recharge is not available with a four-zone climate control system. Only dual-zone is offered, and the system is finicky and sluggish upon startup. On the plus side, the climate control system is quiet and maintains temperature well.

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The cabin is spacious, with the exception of a sunroof eating up some headroom. The doors open wide, but the step-over is a little high and the raked windshield means a low entry for taller passengers. A lot of seat adjustability and decent range in the adjustable steering column mean most drivers can find a good driving position.

The touchscreen infotainment is intuitive and user-friendly, responding quickly to swipe and pinch gestures like you'd use on a smartphone. Outward visibility is excellent thanks to narrow front roof pillars. The generous rear window space, the power-folding rear headrests and optional 360-degree camera system also help out.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Volvo backs up the XC60's modern styling with a ton of well-executed technology. The Bowers & Wilkins audio system is one of the most advanced and configurable offerings we've come across, and it offers rich sound and deep bass. The nav system's modern graphics are almost as nice. The driving aids work well and are easy to adjust through the touchscreen.

Device integration is also excellent. You can pair your phone while on the move and choose between Apple CarPlay and Android Auto or use Volvo's native Bluetooth interface, which also works well. Voice control functionality is quite extensive too. You can control all the usual functions related to phone calls and navigation plus the climate system, including the seat heaters and heated steering wheel.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The hybrid's cargo area is almost as big as the regular XC60's, so that means you get a pleasingly large space. In-cabin storage is decent, and the felt- and rubber-lined door pockets keep items from clanking around while you're on the road.

The car seat anchors for child safety seats are located under easy-access flip covers, and there should be enough room for rear-facing child seats.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The XC60's plug-in hybrid system gets you 19 reliable miles of EV range per charge and boosts acceleration. But we're not sure it's worth the expense of additional weight and, more importantly, upfront cost. During our test, we saw an average of 24.3 mpg without factoring in EV range, which is about what the non-hybrid T6 gets.

Value

7.0/10

Is the XC60 a good value? The Recharge has quality and premium features that aren't currently offered in its segment, but the additional expense for the hybrid system will be off-putting to many. The hybrid system will provide some fuel savings, but it'll take a long time to offset its higher sticker price. The interior materials feel of quality, and there's real craftsmanship to some of the pieces, specifically the wood trim in this Inscription model.

Build quality is excellent, even for a luxury SUV, and Volvo matches most segment competitors in warranty coverage. Scheduled maintenance coverage is typical for luxury vehicles at three years/36,000 miles, but roadside assistance is above average with four years/unlimited miles. Volvo also offers free towing for the life of the vehicle, a unique perk no matter how much you've paid for your car.

Wildcard

8.0/10

Volvo needed to reboot its best-selling vehicle without screwing up what was working, and the carmaker knocked it out of the park. The design and poise of the XC60 are like nothing else in the segment, and it just happens to look really stinking good too. It doesn't impress from a handling standpoint, but most people buying this vehicle don't prioritize dynamics.

Practical luxury is more in line with the XC60 Recharge's mission. It's quick, but it isn't a sports car. Its user-friendly interface and driver aids make it easy to log miles. We'd recommend it to a friend looking for a modern, functional plug-in that's enjoyable to drive in the city or on the highway.

Which XC60 does Edmunds recommend?

The Inscription costs just a bit more than the R-Design, but we appreciate its breadth of added luxury features over the R-Design's sportier setup. The Advanced package is a must-have if you want adaptive cruise control, and the Bowers & Wilkins audio system is expensive but exceptional.

Volvo XC60 models

The 2021 Volvo XC60 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid SUV offered in four trim levels: Inscription Expression, R-Design, Inscription and Polestar Engineered.

The Polestar Engineered model increases power output to 415 hp and 494 lb-ft of torque.

Volvo XC60 vs. the competition

Volvo XC60 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Edmunds' top-ranked small luxury SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Everything from its powerful engines to its superlative ride comfort and roomy interior is worthy of the Mercedes badge. The GLC bests the XC60 in a direct comparison, but it also costs more than the XC60 when comparably equipped.

Volvo XC60 vs. BMW X3

The BMW X3 is another great pick for a small SUV. Like many entrants in the class, the X3 features an upscale interior and plenty of features. BMW gives you different engine options too. It offers a plug-in hybrid just like Volvo does, but it's not nearly as powerful as the XC60 Recharge. Overall, though, these two SUVs are pretty evenly matched.

Compare Volvo XC60 & BMW X3 features

Volvo XC60 vs. Volvo S60

If you like the XC60's appointments but don't necessarily need a high-riding SUV, you can save a few bucks by checking out the Volvo S60 instead. As the numerical designation suggests, the S60 sedan is quite similar to the XC60 and has the same engines and features.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Volvo XC60?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
