2022 Volvo XC60 Trims Comparison

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.
