Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

3/9/2026

Buyers looking for a comfortable, well-built luxury SUV can turn to established favorites from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Or they can consider the stylish 2024 Volvo XC60, which offers a bit of modern Scandinavian cool relative to its more serious German counterparts. The XC60 seats five in an interior roomier than most rivals, it offers sophisticated safety features, and is the only model in this group to offer a plug-in hybrid version that can cover 35 miles on electricity. It lacks the Benz's cushy ride comfort or the Audi and BMW's athleticism, but the XC60 has a distinct character of its own.

Edmunds spotlight: Plug-in power gives XC60 an edge

Volvo has always cut its own path among European luxury cars. The XC60 is no different, offering a standard gas engine alongside a plug-in hybrid option. Few rivals offer the latter (the Audi Q5 is a notable exception) and it gives the XC60 an edge, although a pricey one that costs more than $11,000 over the base drivetrain. The extra power is enticing, though, and depending on your driving, the premium could pay off. The T8 can also "self-recharge" by using the gas engine to boost battery charge. It's no substitute for plugging in and filling up, but it's a useful feature that can extend electric range. In combined operation, the T8 is rated at 63 miles per gallon equivalent.

Competitors to consider

Buyers have many options for a small luxury SUV, from the agile Audi Q5 and BMW X3 to the stately Mercedes-Benz GLC. The Genesis GV70 offers bold, Bentley-esque style at an un-Bentley price, while the Lexus RX offers timeless elegance and comfort. The Cadillac XT5 flies under the radar but delivers snappy handling and striking design. The only rival to the T8 Recharge is the Audi Q5, although it's rated for less electric range — 23 miles — than the Volvo.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Josh Sadlier

Great

8.2

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Volvo XC60 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

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 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.

While you're 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? The XC60 Recharge is very comfortable. 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

2024 volvo xc60 recharge t8 ultimate black edition

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.

Buying Tips for the 2024 Volvo XC60 for March

Here are some tips to help you get the best deal on a 2024 Volvo XC60:

Current buyers are paying about 13.5% below MSRP for the 2024 Volvo XC60 models, which could mean savings of roughly $8,200. This significant difference means you have a solid opportunity to negotiate a good deal on your purchase.
For new buyers, the B5 Core trim offers a great opportunity. It's available at a savings of around $6,346 off MSRP, which is about 13.66% off. This could be a great option if you're looking to save money on a new vehicle.
The inventory for new Volvo XC60s is limited, with only 12 units available nationwide, across various trims. With few options to choose from, you might want to act quickly and contact your local dealers to reserve one.
On the used side, there are 179 units of the 2024 XC60 available, with the lowest starting price at $25,950 for the B5 Core trim. Since used models are selling a bit faster than the average, be prepared to move quickly if you find a deal that you like.

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

8/10

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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

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 35 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. That's a bit disappointing, but given that we're talking about a 455-horsepower vehicle, these results seem quite laudable overall.

Value

8/10

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 and rang in around 70 grand. 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.

2024 Volvo XC60 trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo XC60 compact luxury SUV is offered in four trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultimate and Polestar Engineered. Compare the 2024 Volvo XC60 trim levels in-depth.

Which XC60 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If your budget allows, we recommend the XC60 Recharge in Plus trim. The plug-in hybrid is more powerful, and more expensive, than its base four-cylinder counterpart. But if you have a short commute or regular routes that can maximize the Recharge's 35 miles of electric-only range, you could recoup the added expense through reduced fuel consumption. But if the bulk of your driving will dip into the gas side of things, we'd suggest sticking with the base B5 engine with the Plus trim. The latter offers improved cabin treatments and extra driver assistance features.

Volvo XC60 vs. BMW X3

The X3 is more performance-oriented than the XC60, with livelier handling and steering that makes it more fun to drive on a twisty road. Power and fuel economy are pretty even, but we give the edge to the Volvo's plusher and roomier interior. The BMW, though, offers a little more headroom for taller passengers and significantly more cargo space.

Compare Volvo XC60 & BMW X3 features

Volvo XC60 vs. Genesis GV70

The Genesis GV70 is a relative newcomer, debuting just two years ago, but it made a memorable first impression with its bold styling and value. The GV70 base trim offers more standard features than the XC60 (larger infotainment display, Android Auto, wireless charging), makes more power from its larger four-cylinder engine, and has more cargo capacity. It may lack some of the Volvo's brand cachet, but it costs less and comes with a more generous warranty. We've picked it as the top small luxury SUV in our rankings.

Compare Volvo XC60 & Genesis GV70 features

Volvo XC60 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Last year's full redesign of the Mercedes-Benz GLC returned it to its rightful place near the top of the small luxury SUV class, edged out only by the Genesis GV70 in Edmunds' rankings. Smooth and efficient power, a high-class interior and sophisticated in-car technology make the GLC a tough rival. The Benz offers cushier ride quality but costs more as well.
