PERFORMANCE
The Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid starts strong with standard all-wheel drive and pairs a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a set of electric motors. The result? Efficiency without sacrificing performance.

EPA-Estimated All-Electric Range | EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy |
|---|---|
| 35 miles* | 63 MPGe* |
You can make quick trips and run local errands using all-electric power. Then, easily charge at home via a standard 110- or 220-volt outlet to fully charge in approximately five hours. When you’re on the go, use the Volvo Cars app or Google Maps (with standard Google Built-In) to quickly find a nearby public charging station that’s part of the growing North American Charging Standard, including access to the Tesla Supercharger network.
Refined Power
In the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, the plug-in hybrid T8 AWD powertrain uses an 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic transmission. Behind the wheel, you’ll enjoy smooth acceleration, agile handling, and plenty of power.
Horsepower | Torque | Acceleration (0-60 MPH) | Towing Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 455 HP | 523 lb-ft | 4.5 seconds | 3,500 lbs. |
With five drive modes, the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid adapts seamlessly to your needs. Hybrid mode balances electric and gas power for efficiency, while Pure mode offers quiet, all-electric driving, ideal for city commutes. Power mode enhances performance with both power sources, and All-wheel Drive ensures optimal traction in slippery conditions or when towing. Off Road mode raises ride height and enhances control to handle uneven or challenging terrain with confidence.
DESIGN
Volvo models are distinctively modern in design, and the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid continues this tradition. Regardless of which of its four trims you choose—Core, Plus, Polestar Engineered, or Ultra—you’ll enjoy a vehicle that is as stunning and comfortable as it is advanced and well-equipped.
Elegant Exterior
True to Volvo’s streamlined Swedish style, the exterior of the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid is sleek and sporty while maintaining a high level of sophistication. The iconic high-gloss black front grille and trim, along with the glossy black roof rails, announce your presence. The XC60 Plug-in Hybrid sits atop Diamond Cut alloy wheels that range from 18 to 21 inches. Dark-tinted laminated glass in the rear windows adds allure while ensuring privacy, increasing comfort, and providing protection from UV rays.
As you electrify your drive, color your world with a choice of eight exterior paints. They range from greyscale options such as Crystal White, Vapour Grey, and Onyx Black to distinctive shades that include:
- Bright Dusk
- Mulberry Red
- Denim Blue
- Forest Lake
- Aurora Silver
Regardless of the color you choose, your Volvo XC60 PHEV will reflect your personality while turning heads and capturing the attention of those around you.
Luxe Interior
Of course, any luxury vehicle worth its salt provides a cabin that’s a mobile haven, and when you drive a Volvo, that’s a given. Within the ergonomic cockpit of the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, you’ll enjoy:
- Natural Driftwood or Metal Mesh aluminum decor
- Premium textile upholstery (quilted Nordico, leatherette, or ventilated Nappa leather)
- Heated front Comfort seats (available ventilation)
- Panoramic roof
- Available handcrafted Swedish crystal gear shifter
The XC60 Plug-in Hybrid is also quite spacious, easily accommodating adults in both rows, so everyone can stretch out and be comfortable, regardless of their seating position.

Helping your eldest move into their dorm or first apartment, or transporting home that new big-screen TV? Fold down the rear seats to transport up to 63.3 cubic feet of cargo. The lipless, flat floor and power-operated tailgate will make it easy to load and unload.
TECHNOLOGY
As a modern marvel, the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid continues to supply your every need—and want. That aptitude extends to its wide variety of innovative in-vehicle technologies. From infotainment options that include three state-of-the-art audio systems to driver-assistance technologies that help protect everyone on board, the XC60 Plug-in Hybrid has it all.
Intuitive Infotainment
Many vehicles come equipped with features that maintain your connectivity on the go, such as Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™. Additionally, the XC60 Plug-in Hybrid comes with Google built-in as standard, integrating Google Maps with real-time traffic information, voice control via Google Assistant, and Google Play to access your favorite apps, music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Although its standard 10-speaker High Performance audio system is extremely impressive, the available 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound system takes your listening experience to the next level. Its “Room Transformation” technology offers full surround sound as well as four different room modes to recreate specific acoustics similar to a Concert Hall, Jazz Club, Individual Stage, or Studio.
Advanced Driver Assistance
The Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid further distinguishes itself from other luxury vehicles through its vast array of intelligent safety technologies, including these standardly equipped systems:
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation
- BLIS™ and Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Keeping Aid
- Park Assist Camera, rear
- Road Sign Information
As a result, you’ll remain confident behind the wheel at all times.
Available driver-assistance features further help ensure your safety out on the road. In addition to its standard Adaptive Cruise Control, optional Pilot Assist adapts your vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe following distance from the car in front of you. Plus, the available head-up display projects driving info, such as speed and navigation, onto a portion of the windshield, adjusting the display's brightness based on current light conditions while keeping your focus on the road ahead.
Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid vs. The Competition

The Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid and Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid have the same engine size, but the difference in their performance reveals that it's not just about size, but also about capability. If you want more horsepower and to travel farther on electric power, the XC60 Plug-in Hybrid stands out. Its more advanced 8-speed transmission also makes it smoother, more responsive, and optimized for performance and efficiency.**

The Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid and the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring share many similar features. That said, the theme continues that one model offers more: more power, more range, more cargo room. As such, you’ll most likely prefer the Volvo. With its additional legroom in the second row, your adult passengers will also favor the Volvo.**

Continuing the trend of Volvo's previous competitors, the Genesis Electrified GV70 offers less legroom and less cargo volume than the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid. Taking a different approach, the GV70 relies solely on electric energy, although its net horsepower doesn’t match that of the Volvo. Additionally, it eliminates the option and flexibility that the XC60 Plug-in Hybrid offers, so if you want the power of choice, opt for the Volvo.
XC60 Plug-in Hybrid | vs | Electrified GV70 |
|---|---|---|
| 455 HP | MAX HORSEPOWER | 429 HP |
| 38 inches | SECOND-ROW LEGROOM | 36.6 inches |
