VOLVO XC60: WHY IT’S THE BEST-SELLING VOLVO IN HISTORY

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra Plug-In Hybrid receives a B+ overall, praised for its tasteful and luxurious interior design, refined driving dynamics, and impressive hybrid performance. The reviewer highlights the smooth, powerful acceleration from the electric motor and the exceptionally comfortable ride thanks to the optional air suspension. Positives include the intuitive and responsive infotainment system, the quiet operation in electric mode, and the long overall range. However, criticisms are noted, particularly regarding the lack of physical climate controls for rear passengers and the non-capacitive steering wheel, which is seen as a drawback for a vehicle in this price bracket. The value proposition is rated a C, as expected for a luxury vehicle. Despite minor drawbacks, the XC60 is deemed a classy, refined, and safe choice, maintaining its appeal and luxury status over its generation.
