Edmunds Rating

The XC60 Recharge T8 Extended Range is a unique all-in-one solution if you aren't ready to take the full EV leap. Boasting a legitimate 35-plus miles of electric range on a full charge, a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined in hybrid mode, and a whopping 455 horsepower, this electrified Volvo is an SUV of many talents. Throw in plenty of Swedish style and you've got a dead-serious standout in the luxury plug-in hybrid space.

Part of the second XC60 generation introduced for 2018

Overview

The luxury compact SUV segment is packed with excellent competitors from various premium brands, but the one Scandinavian model on the list doesn't blend in with its rivals. Since its 2018 redesign, the Volvo XC60 has set itself apart with its unique headlights and taillights, tasteful body lines, and an uncluttered, upscale interior made of high-quality materials. The Swede, though, doesn't have the handling chops of some of its rivals or the softest ride.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 11/21 (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 $4.07 per gallon for premium unleaded and $0.15 per kWh for electricity in Virginia.}

As with most premium SUVs, the XC60 hauls the family around in comfort, provides a useful amount of cargo space, and comes standard with a long list of advanced driver aids such as automatic emergency braking and evasive steering assist. Sizewise, the XC60 slots in between the smaller XC40 and larger XC90 SUVs. The XC60 also has a performance variant like its German rivals (BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5) do. It's the Polestar Engineered model that's based on the plug-in hybrid Recharge T8 version.

For the 2022 model year, Volvo refreshed the XC60 with reworked front and rear fascias and updated engines. There's also a new Google-based infotainment system that features Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play. Under the hood, Volvo has added a new mild hybrid system to the XC60's engines. It helps to slightly improve fuel economy — by about 1-2 mpg compared to last year — and smooth out the engine automatic stop-start feature when you're at stoplights.

The XC60's plug-in hybrid model, the Recharge, also gets a midyear update that includes a higher-capacity battery and a more powerful rear electric motor. The combination provides more power — a heady 455 horsepower — plus the ability to drive around 36 miles on a full charge, which is quite good for a plug-in hybrid. Recharging frequently can really help reduce your use of gasoline.

Overall, we recommend the XC60 and find it a competitive choice among other small luxury SUVs including the Acura RDX, BMW X3, Genesis GV70 and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the XC60 Recharge drive? Not many plug-in hybrids can boogie like this XC60 in hybrid mode. Its 455 horses ran free at our test track to the tune of a 4.7-second sprint to 60 mph and an eye-popping speed of 107.6 mph at the quarter-mile mark. That squares with the real-world experience, which is one of never-ending thrust from idle until you've had enough.

But that's with all hands on deck with the four-cylinder engine in play. How about in pure electric mode? We'd say "adequate" is the best way to describe it. No one will be impressed by zero to 60 in 11.6 seconds, but there's enough oomph to keep up with city traffic, while a new-for-2022 regenerative braking mode enables one-pedal driving like in a real EV. If you suddenly need more power — a lot more — just floor the accelerator through the kickdown switch and here comes the cavalry.

Cruising around town in hybrid mode, by the way, the electric assist is usually ready with immediate and silent part-throttle torque that makes the car feel exceptionally responsive, though occasionally you'll catch it sleeping.

As for turning and stopping, the XC60 Recharge T8 acquits itself remarkably well. The adaptive suspension works like magic on winding roads, making the XC60 feel surprisingly planted at sane cornering speeds. The brakes feel capable, too, which we corroborated with a 116-foot panic stop at our test track on all-season tires, a number that puts many a lighter vehicle to shame.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the XC60 Recharge? In a word, very. The seats are stellar front and rear, augmented by a nifty wool upholstery that had our team oohing and aahing. The back seat in particular merits praise for its remarkably supportive bottom cushion, which is high enough to provide great thigh support without compromising headroom, a neat trick in a rather low-profile SUV. Suspension compliance over various surfaces was usually fine and rarely objectionable.

The climate control system proved capable even on hot days, and we like how it delivers air to the rear via chest-level vents on the door pillars rather than the usual down-low vents on the back of the center console. Persistent wind noise around the side mirrors, as well as some from the roof, earned the Volvo a minor demerit, but road noise rarely intrudes. Vibration from the four-cylinder engine is noticeable at times but not problematic.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Aside from the rather controversial "portrait mode" touchscreen, which we'll cover in the next section, the XC60 is a delightfully easy SUV to live with. The driving position is practically perfect thanks to a chair-like sitting posture, generous visibility all around, and excellent steering-wheel placement and adjustability. Passenger space in the front and rear is superb. It's a cinch to hop in and out — you slide in at hip level rather than clambering up or dropping down.

The only really annoying thing about the plug-in XC60 is the joystick-like shift lever, which lacks the usual "skip neutral, please!" detents and requires the driver to nudge it twice every time in order to select drive or reverse. In essence, you have to double-click to accomplish a single-click task, and it's way too easy to end up in neutral, which you almost never want to do.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The vertically oriented touchscreen is probably the XC60's most polarizing feature. On the bright side, it greatly simplifies the control layout since there are hardly any physical buttons. But some commonly used features are buried multiple screens deep, such as the drive-mode menu that you might often use to cycle between hybrid and electric operation or to tell the vehicle to hold onto the available electric miles or charge the battery up while driving. The portrait-style screen also has the effect of making the backup camera display seem anachronistically small.

Interface quibbles aside, the XC60's Google integration is generally pleasing, including Google Assistant voice controls and an impressive Google Maps display that shows up between the gauges. Apple CarPlay works seamlessly, although wireless functionality is not yet available. The adaptive cruise control has full stop-and-go ability and works quite well, struggling only to detect sudden merges at low speeds. Our test XC60 had the available Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and we found it pumps out serious bass and should please audiophiles and regular folks alike.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The XC60's cargo capacity of 29.7 cubes is impressive both in numbers and in practice. You'll have no trouble fitting luggage or a couple of golf bags behind the rear seats, for example. Fold those seatbacks down and there's room for most of the large items you might want to haul.

We doubt many people will be disappointed by this SUV's storage options, including multiple handy nooks and bins for stowing small items. We wished only for more generous drink-holder cutouts in the door pockets to accommodate larger water bottles.

Got small children? A rear-facing toddler seat should fit in the middle rear position with room to spare between the front seatbacks.

Fuel Economy

8.0/10

How economical is the XC60 Recharge? On our real-world 115-mile evaluation route, we validated the XC60 Recharge T8's electric range and then some. Running in pure electric mode to start, we covered 38.9 miles, outdoing the EPA's projection of 36 miles. After the switchover to hybrid mode, we got 25.8 mpg on the rest of the trip versus the EPA's estimate of 28 mpg combined (28 city/28 highway). That's a bit disappointing, but given that we're talking about a 455-horsepower vehicle, these results seem quite laudable overall.

Value

8.0/10

Is the XC60 Recharge a good value? Our XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription, with the midyear Extended Range update, had all of the proverbial bells and whistles. Is that a good price? We'd argue yes. You'll pay more for a comparably equipped BMW X5 xDrive45e (the X5 plug-in hybrid), yet the Volvo is quicker and has meaningfully more electric range. It also has a strikingly stylish interior with upscale materials, and we detected nary a squeak or rattle.

Volvo's four-year/50,000-mile comprehensive and powertrain warranty is nothing special, and the eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on hybrid components is pretty standard. But complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first three years is a perk that's less common these days.

Wildcard

8.5/10

With its latest enhancements, Volvo has taken the plug-in XC60 to new heights. It's fast and surprisingly fun to drive and delivers more electric range than just about any other plug-in hybrid on the market. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Which XC60 does Edmunds recommend?

Consider the sporty R-Design trim for the XC60 Recharge T8. You're packing more than 400 hp, so you might as well look the part. It comes well equipped with features too. Make sure to get one with the optional Advance package if you want traffic-adaptive cruise control.

Volvo XC60 models

The Volvo XC60 is a compact luxury SUV. The base B5 engine is offered in Momentum, R-Design and Inscription trims. The upgraded B6 engine can be paired with the R-Design or Inscription trim. The base trim for the plug-in hybrid Recharge model is the Inscription Expression trim, and the R-Design and Inscription trims are also available. The top Polestar Engineered trim gets some performance enhancements to complement the Recharge T8 powertrain. Here's what you need to know:

The B5 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The B6 version is more powerful with 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.

The Recharge T8 is similar but has additional plug-in hybrid componentry. Pay close attention to which Recharge T8 you're considering because Volvo updated this version midway through 2022. T8s built early in the model year produce 400 hp and 472 lb-ft and have an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 19 miles. Later versions, called the Extended Range, have 36 miles of range plus more power: 455 hp and 523 lb-ft.

The Polestar Engineered is based on the Recharge T8. Early versions have 415 hp and 494 lb-ft. Later versions have the same power that comes from the Extended Range upgrade.

Front-wheel drive is standard on the B5 engine, and all-wheel drive is an option. The B6 and Recharge T8 powertrains only come equipped with AWD.

Driver’s Comments

Acceleration:: This was a bit unexpected in the best sort of way. Volvo updated its T8 powertrain for 2022, and the difference between this car and a 2021 XC60 T8 is immediately evident both on the street and at the test track. The 2022 car I tested was 0.6 second quicker to 60 mph than the previous model. There was an improvement in the quarter-mile time too, but most notable to me is the 2022 car's higher trap speed. There's more power at the top end, so the T8 Polestar feels quicker at highway speeds, great for passing. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is fairly smooth and linear, with plenty of low-end torque. In fact, there's enough there to spin the tires on the quickest run. That was done in the Polestar drive mode. Hold the brake and gas at the same time. The revs should hover around 2,000 rpm. That gets the turbo to build a bit of boost. Let go and the front tires will spin a little. They also have a smile-inducing chirp on the 1-2 upshift. Gives it character. There was a hint of torque steer, but it was nothing too egregious.
Braking:: I'm impressed with the braking results given the XC60's curb weight and all-season tires, so props to Volvo here. Braking distances were a little up and down, but they only varied by a few feet. The fifth stop was shorter than the first, so the tires and brakes didn't seem to mind a little heat either. The XC60 stops dead straight with a mild amount of nosedive. There's no real drama at all. The XC60 T8 uses a brake-by-wire system, typical of plug-in hybrids. The brake pedal feels firm and strong, though there's not much feedback. You also don't feel any pulsing from the antilock braking, though you can hear the system working.
Handling:: You can't disable stability control in the XC60, so the best run was done with the system on. That said, 0.91 g is pretty good for a luxury crossover with all-season tires. The stability control system is fairly relaxed in Polestar mode, so it's not hard to find the limit and hold it there without stability control cutting in and slowing you down. There's a mild amount of understeer; you can correct it by adjusting the throttle and holding the wheel steady. The small-diameter wheel is firm in Polestar mode, but I wouldn't call it too heavy. Not much feedback, but that's to be expected. My biggest complaint is body roll. There's more than I would expect from something with a Polestar badge, but it felt fine enough for a luxury SUV.

Volvo XC60 vs. BMW X3

The BMW X3 is a strong competitor that's very well rounded. It's so well rounded, the X3 doesn't excel in any category besides providing a fun driving experience, something the XC60 with either engine lacks. The XC60's interior has aged much better than the X3's, though, and its exterior has more style.

Volvo XC60 vs. Lexus RX 350

The RX 350 is one of the segment's best-sellers. Without a doubt, the RX 350 is more comfortable than the XC60, but it's not as fuel-efficient as the Volvo and offers fewer engine options. Both SUVs share high-quality interiors, a lot of standard advanced driver aids, and somewhat tricky-to-use infotainment systems.

Volvo XC60 vs. Genesis GV70

The all-new GV70 is the only rival in the segment with a more striking look. Not only does it have a more powerful base engine than the XC60, the South Korean luxury SUV also has a lower starting price. Like the XC60, the GV70 has a bouncy ride with larger wheels, but the Volvo's seats provide much more comfort.
