EV Channels Review
The 2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge Ultimate delivers impressive real-world electric-only range, exceeding its EPA estimate by over 10% in testing. The reviewer achieved 39.6 miles on a full charge, surpassing the 35-mile rating, even with some highway driving. The vehicle's T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, boasting a combined 455 horsepower, is highlighted as a significant strength, offering ample performance. Positives include the powerful electric motor, substantial battery capacity (14.9 kWh usable), and a comfortable, premium cabin. The primary drawback identified is the slow 3.6 kW onboard charger, leading to lengthy charging times (4-5 hours on Level 2). Despite this, the XC60 Recharge is considered a highly competitive and compelling option in the plug-in hybrid SUV market, especially for those who can manage the charging limitations.
