The Volvo V60 Cross Country is the mild hybrid model, and the Volvo V60 Recharge is the plug-in hybrid. The latter does not need to be plugged in; its battery is recharged via regenerative braking. The Volvo V60 Recharge model, on the other hand, has to be charged up to reach its full potential. Fortunately, this is easy to do overnight with your home wallbox. It gets better fuel economy than the mild hybrid option. The choice is yours.
The 2023 Volvo V60 can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped, regardless of if you pick the mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid version. This rating is quite competitive for this vehicle size class in which cars are often not even rated to tow. You can bring the family jet ski, ATV, small boat, or pop-up camper along for an adventure with the sleek new Volvo V60 for sale.
The answer to this question depends on your needs. The Volvo V90 is larger than the Volvo V60, offering a little more interior space and cargo room. The trade-off, of course, is that the Volvo V90 gets slightly weaker fuel economy than the Volvo V60 and is longer, making it a bit harder to park. Visit us for a test drive or two, where you compare these vehicles more closely.
All three trims of the Volvo V60 – the Cross Country Plus, Cross Country Ultimate, and Recharge Polestar Engineered – come standard with all-wheel drive. Whether you're conquering the trails or racing up and down the highways in Tampa, FL, all-wheel drive keeps you connected to the road. You will have a blast driving your new Volvo V60.
The Volvo V60 is one of several vehicles that blends the utility of a hatchback with the power of an SUV. The Volvo V90 is larger than the Volvo V60 but resembles it in many ways. It offers a little more cabin space than the Volvo V60 but is slightly less fuel efficient as a larger and heavier vehicle. Both of them, however, are excellent choices for drivers. You can test drive either – or both – of them at our dealership.
The Subaru Outback is another vehicle that resembles the Volvo V60. Its standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 182 horsepower and comes standard with all-wheel drive. It also has an optional engine that can produce 260 horsepower. However, these options fall short of those of the Volvo V60, which can make 250 and 455 horsepower with its standard mild hybrid and Polestar engineered setup, respectively. The Subaru Outback also boasts fewer features than the Volvo V60. The Volvo wagon wins this matchup, hands down.
The last vehicle we will consider is the Audi A4 allroad. It has a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and a lifted suspension, like the Volvo V60. It also offers more space than the standard Audi A4 sedan, making it a plausible choice for car camping. The vehicle, however, has less available cargo space and comes with fewer standard safety features than the Volvo V60, making the Volvo vehicle the clear choice.
