What the Critics Say

"Style, safety, and power make the Volvo V60 Recharge a compelling luxury car. Factor in wagon utility paired with a plug-in hybrid system, and the V60 Recharge is in a class by itself." -- TrueCar

"We're partial to the racier Recharge T8 Polestar, which forgoes the Cross Country's lifted suspension and SUV styling cues for a more performance-oriented look. Its ride is on the stiff side, but that's a compromise we're willing to make for the T8 powertrain's extra power and electric-only driving mode." -- Car and Driver

What's New for 2022

With the discontinuation of the conventional V60 wagon for 2022, the V60 Recharge PHEV and V60 Cross Country (reviewed separately) are the two remaining variants in the model range. Elsewhere, the V60 Recharge gains the latest Google-based infotainment software that offers enhanced responsiveness and improved customization options compared to the prior generation.

Stylish Scandinavian Design

Longer and lower than its predecessor, the Volvo V60 Recharge makes a dynamic first impression. Signature LED headlights feature the iconic Thor's Hammer T-shape design for a uniquely elegant yet sporty appearance. Other sport-focused design cues include its high gloss black front fascia and charcoal-colored front frille, adding an aggressive look when viewed from every angle.

A straight roofline as well as an upright rear window help create generous space and easy access to its cargo area via a power-operated tailgate. Open the panoramic moonroof to fill your cabin with fresh air and natural lighting. Integrated roof rails provide a stylish accent to the bold profile of the Volvo V60 Recharge.

Capability & Safety

Since inventing the revolutionary 3-point seat belt in 1959, Volvo has remained steadfast as an industry leader in safety. A comprehensive list of safety features and driver support systems from the 90 Series and XC60 come standard on Volvo V60 Recharge, earning it a place as one of the safest cars in its class. Volvo Auto brake technology uses automatic braking and detection systems to assist drivers when avoiding potential collisions. This system is also the only one of its kind commercially available that can recognize pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals. Upgraded with improved cornering performance, the Pilot Assist system supports drivers with steering, acceleration, and braking on well-marked roads up to 80 MPH.
