The 2022 XC60 Recharge is an excellent vehicle. The power, steering, braking (including regenerative braking), ride and electric only distance are outstanding. With an electric range of 35-40 miles, we have been able to complete 100% of our local driving on battery alone. The driving experience is easily 5-stars. The only criticism we have is that the Google Android user interface is ok, but not superior. “Hey Google” does not always prompt a response, requiring us to use the steering wheel button to activate voice response. Integration of common Google apps like Maps and various music options are nice. We look forward to Volvo’s plan to offer Apple Car Play in the near future. With the upgraded battery, the 2022 XC60 Recharge is highly recommended for both electric only local driving and comfortable, efficient and anxiety free long distance travel.

Our 10 month old XC60 broke down one fine morning, it stopped responding, no reason. We called Volvo roadside service in the morning at 7 am, they came in the evening at 7 pm. Feeling was, at least they came, They tried few tricks on the car before towed to nearest service center. The car spent 7 days in service center(Palo Alto). Interestingly they just spent 4-5 hours to upgraded some software and returned the car. After service , i saw lot many alarms including engine light on the cluster dashboard. They did not check basic things after service. I have to drop the car back. This time the car was in service center for 20 days. Literally I don't have a car for a month. Volvo doesn't even offer a bike as courtesy. Nevertheless i was living with few existing problems like car heater doesn't work etc , they wont fix it since lot of cars have same problem , parts are backlogged. Go to twitter and check, some how i found more complains there. Wish i read them before i bought. After you read this and still like to buy Volvo , go for it!

Considering any other common brand's PHEV from Hyandai and Toyota has $5-10k mark-up, we ventured into Volvo. Yes, even at MSRP, it is still more pricey, but we have been very impressed by the drive experience and smooth ride. 35 miles pure electric is far enough to be practical. Yes, a gripe is on Google infotainment. Lack of Apple CarPlay stinks and absence of Waze is a disaster for us. Dealer told us that they will be available through over-the-air update by end of year. If they aren't, I will return to take off a couple stars.

I already own a 2021 XC40 Recharge EV and love it, so I thought I’d add an XC60 plug in Recharge Inscription to my garage. Bad idea. While the car drives nicely and is obviously luxurious and classy, there are so many things I disliked about it, I traded it in on a Highlander after 8 weeks of ownership having driven it 508 miles. In that time it had one factory recall and was back in to the Volvo dealership twice for warranty repairs! I can’t imagine owning one of these new Volvos after their manufacture’s warranty expires. On the Highway there was quite a lot of road noise, the Harmon Kardon stereo is average at best, no Apple Car Play, no kick under the bumper to raise the tailgate, like we are now seeing on basic Japanese models. The main reason for trading it in beyond the reliability was the plug in hybrid range as I would have to plug it in after each drive. It is rated to have a 19 mile range in full electric mode, well maybe on the highway at 50 mph with no wind and on a 70 o F day. But in winter in Iowa it gets an 8 to 10 mile range, the you’re back in the garage plugging it in. With a 240 volt 50 amp charger it would take several hours to recharge and there is not yet a scheduled charge setting like on my XC40 to begin charging in low rate hours. While you can still drive it with zero charge in Hybrid mode it is still a Volvo recommendation to keep it charged. Driving it in Hybrid mode still drains the electric battery and while you can drive it on Power mode and recharge the battery as you drive, it takes awhile and in the meantime your driving on an Internal combustion engine using expensive premium grade fuel while the little 4 cylinder engines roars away. Even the gas mileage was only about 24 MPG around town. In summary, it’s stylish, classy, comfortable and easy to drive but for the price, I don’t feel there is value for money. Either wait until you’re comfortable driving a full EV like the XC40 which is thrilling to drive or stay with an ICE, but plug in Hybrid is like being “half pregnant”

I’ve had my car for one year and 12k miles. I’ve driven round trip from Arkansas to Arizona twice. Most all other miles have been “Pure” mode electric only. So about 50/50. Not one glitch. 100% reliable. Software: The OTA software updates have worked every time for me BUT I do them always in my garage when my car is connected to my home wifi, not over cellular (not sure if that was the cause for some people). I’ve gotten used to the Google infotainment system and it’s Google Assistant’s ability to control certain vehicle settings with your spoken command. YouTube music actually sounds clearer than Apple Music through Apple CarPlay and a wired iPhone 13. The Volvo phone app is the biggest disappointment. It works 80% of the time and its functions are bare bones only. Kia offers better telematics. Safety systems: I wish the safety systems made warning noises (like when you start to change lanes with a car in your blind spot). I also wish the lanes beside you were visible on the video screen like Genesis offers. And to this day, I still have no idea if the car would actually stop if I didn’t react in time to avoid a collision. Brakes are firm, confident, and effectively stop this very heavy car. Interior/Body/Paint: The paint is holding up great, despite the highway miles through the desert. Not a single pit or abrasion in the front end paint. The doors and all panels fit perfectly and close with a reassuring and refined “thunk.” Not a single squeak or rattle. This thing is QUIET. The leather interior and build quality are very good, far surpassing Lexus and Mercedes in my opinion (I’ve owned both) and on par with Audi. The B&W audio system is expensive but worth every penny. Climate Control: The AC will freeze you out if you want it to. Works faster than any car I’ve ever had. The heat isn’t that quick, however. Heated/cooled seats are awesome. Heating steering wheel gets really warm and I have to turn it down soon after I take off. Driving: More than enough power in electric only.. I get anywhere from 34 to 45 miles on a charge, depending on outside temperature. If you run it in Performance Mode, be prepared to be startled off the line. Dealership experience: it’s ok. I’d rate it a 3 out of 5, but I think a lot of dealerships are struggling to hire and retain people. I hope that improves the further we get away from the pandemic.
