Two engines are available for the Core, Plus and Ultimate trims. The base engine, called B5, is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system (247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque). The plug-in hybrid version, called Recharge T8, uses the same engine paired with an electric motor that powers the rear wheels. The gas/electric combination (455 hp and 523 lb-ft) is aided by an 18.8-kWh battery, which helps the XC60 plug-in hybrid offer an estimated 35 miles of electric-only range. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. The Polestar Engineered is only available with the Recharge T8 engine.
