2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge: A Performance Beast

As we discussed above, the Volvo XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid performance is made possible by an incredible standard powertrain. The T8 eAWD configuration uses a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an 18.8-kWh battery-and-motor system paired with an innovative all-wheel-drive system. This combination boasts 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque for incredible power that dominates the plug-in hybrid luxury SUV segment.

This powerful configuration allows you to tow up to 3,500 pounds.¹ If you want to take your jet skis or small watercraft to the beach in Tampa, FL, you'll find this vehicle to be up to the challenge. You can also use it to bring your pop-up camper or small family boat along on a weekend getaway or long vacation. If you also use the sleek roof rails on this vehicle, you can pack a truly prodigious amount of cargo on your new SUV.

Electric vehicles can accelerate very quickly because motors can apply their full torque almost instantly, whereas traditional engines have to spin up. A plug-in hybrid like the Volvo XC60 Recharge can, therefore, accelerate quickly. It jumps from 0 to 60 mph in four and a half seconds – your passengers will be awed by the raw power of this luxurious vehicle.

2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge: Comforts Galore

The inside of the new Volvo XC60 Recharge for sale is sophisticated and comfortable. Volvo Cars embraces a minimalist design style that draws on the company's Scandinavian roots.

Your passengers will find themselves compelled to comment on how inviting the cabin is, with its real metal interior accents and comfortable ambient lighting.

The new Volvo XC60 Recharge has five comfortable seats and plenty of room for everyone's gear. You can fit 22.4 cubic feet of stuff in the trunk and can haul up to 63.3 cubic feet with the second row lowered. This level of versatility can be a real boon to drivers: You'll be able to drive four people around or haul a few pieces of furniture in one go, as your circumstances require.

The panoramic roof will bathe your cabin in natural light, revealing the incredible care that the Volvo design team put into designing this sleek vehicle. You can cover the panoramic roof with the touch of a button when the kids want to nap, but while they're awake, they will adore the 10-speaker premium sound system that comes standard on the new Volvo XC60 Recharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the electric range on the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid?

The new Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid for sale can travel up to 35 miles in its all-electric Pure Mode.² You can drive the kids to and from school without having to use a drop of gasoline and even swing by the cafe on the way. This versatility is part of what makes the Volvo XC60 Recharge such a compelling option.

Is AWD standard on the new Volvo XC60 Recharge?

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 the 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 gather excess energy expended during braking, 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 Recharge?

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 at home with a 3.6-kWh AC charging 1-phase 16A setup.³

Does the Volvo XC60 Hybrid qualify for tax credit?

As of this writing in fall 2023, the 2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid price is not subject to the plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles federal tax credit. We do, however, hope and expect that Volvo Cars will shift more production to the United States soon so that more of its vehicles will qualify in the near future.

Volvo XC60 Recharge Hybrid vs. the Competition

Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid

When it comes to the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid competitors, 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. On the things that matter, the Lincoln Corsair does not measure up to the Volvo XC60 Recharge.
