Comfortable, well executed, and shockingly quick, the XC60 Recharge may be its segment’s best-kept secret.
plug-in hybrids, the Volvo XC60 Recharge received a new powertrain last year, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that combines with a more powerful electric motor to produce a muscular 455 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque. It arrived along with numerous other updates that included more electric range, a new Google-powered operating system, a switch to USB-C ports in the cabin, and updated front and rear styling.
Volvo didn't stop there. For 2023, the SUV's transmission programming was refined—the eight-speed automatic is a smooth operator overall if a bit sluggish at times—a one-pedal driving mode was added, and the model and trim naming structures were overhauled. We tested the top-dog Ultimate with a handsome Dark Theme exterior styling motif.
The 455-hp powertrain is another highlight. The XC60 Recharge sprints to 60 mph in a startlingly quick 4.3 seconds, and the engine and electric motor are far more harmonious partners than in the pre-refresh plug-in XC60. And outside of some uncouth racket when it's not yet warmed up, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder is basically invisible—so much so you think at times you're running solely on electrons even when you're not.
In EV mode, pushing past the prominent detent at the end of the accelerator pedal's travel will light the engine, but you can briskly launch from a stop, whiz down an on-ramp, or do pretty much anything else under full electric power. In many PHEVs, even moderate acceleration will bring internal combustion into the mix, but not here. The Recharge is essentially an EV so long as its 18.
In addition, some native functions never worked properly, such as the car's ability to read your text messages aloud. We seemingly had it set up with the proper permissions, but, although the system would tell us we'd received a message, it never read a single one. Stick with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto phone-mirroring and save yourself some stress, although when you return to the native system from CarPlay, be prepared for the radio to mute itself for some unknown reason.
