FAQ
What is the electric range on the Volvo XC60 Hybrid?
The Volvo XC60 Recharge can travel up to 35 miles in its all-electric Pure Mode.3 You can drive the kids to and from school without having to use a drop of gasoline – you can even swing by the cafe on your way home. This versatility is part of what makes the Volvo XC60 Recharge such a compelling option for drivers in Tampa, FL.
Is AWD standard on the new Volvo XC60 Hybrid?
In a word, yes. Every version of this car is a Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD model because the T8 eAWD powertrain uses two motors in addition to its internal combustion engine. One is attached to each axle, which will see you enjoy all-wheel drive. You can take this powerful luxury SUV off the beaten path, making it a great weekend adventure machine.
What's the difference between the Volvo XC60 Mild Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid?
The mild-hybrid versions of the Volvo XC60 are fuel efficient but less so than the Volvo XC60 Recharge. This is because mild hybrid vehicles use their batteries to help them accelerate and maintain speed, whereas the plug-in hybrid uses electrical power in a broader set of contexts to achieve greater efficiency. This requires you to plug it in to recharge it, but it confers great benefits.
Can you charge the Volvo XC60 hybrid?
The Volvo XC60 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid that is designed to be recharged. It has an AC inlet port that allows you to easily attach the vehicle to a power source, which will generally be in your home or at a public charging station. You can fully charge the vehicle in about five hours with a 3.6-kWh AC charging 1-phase 16A setup.4
Does the Volvo XC60 Hybrid qualify for tax credit?
As of this writing in fall 2022, the 2023 Volvo XC60 hybrid price is not subject to the plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles federal tax credit. This is a result of changes made to the program by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. We do, however, expect that Volvo Cars will shift more production to the United States soon so that more of its vehicles will qualify in the future.
Volvo XC60 Hybrid vs. The Competition
Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid
The Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid is an impressive enough vehicle. Its engine and electrical system combine to make 362 horsepower, while its suspension keeps your ride smooth. This vehicle, however, loses out to the Volvo XC60 Recharge. The Volvo SUV has a much more potent powertrain, getting almost 100 more horsepower than the Audi Q5. It also has a more refined suspension system, allowing you to race down back roads and highways alike in ultimate comfort. Volvo vehicles also come with Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance, which outstrips the manufacturer backing on the Audi Q5.
Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. Lincoln Corsair Plug-in Hybrid
The Lincoln Corsair starts out on worse footing than the Audi Q5: its plug-in hybrid powertrain makes only 266 horsepower. This falls far short of the 455 horses found under the hood of the Volvo XC60 Recharge. The Corsair also has a lower all-electric driving range, as this SUV's is less than 30 miles. It comes in around the same price as the Volvo XC60, so you don't save any money by opting for the weaker powertrain of the Lincoln Corsair plug-in hybrid. On the things that matter, the Lincoln Corsair does not measure up to the Volvo XC60 Recharge.
