What the Critics Say

“The XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid is a unique all-in-one solution if you aren’t ready to take the leap to a full EV. Boasting a legitimate 35 miles of electric range on a full charge, a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined in hybrid mode, and a whopping 455 horsepower, this electrified Volvo is an SUV of many talents. Throw in plenty of Swedish style and you’ve got a dead-serious standout in the luxury plug-in hybrid space.” – Edmunds

“Nor is it as expensive as it feels, with quality fittings and distinctly good looks that amount to extraordinary style in an era where cheap plastics dominate and, with few exceptions, SUVs tend to toggle between ugly and boring. This XC60 Plug-In Hybrid is neither, and its revised, ultra-modern dash and uniquely stylish interior design help make it legitimate competition for models costing far more.” — Car and Driver

What’s New for 2025

Everything you loved about the XC60 Plug-In Hybrid is still here in 2025, it just got a name change to XC60 Plug-In Hybrid. And as with the rest of the Volvo lineup, the Ultimate trim has been renamed Ultra.

Electrified Powertrain

Since having the ability to adapt and remain flexible can make a world of difference, the Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid has an advanced plug-in hybrid electric powertrain that offers an unmatched blend of power and efficiency. Not only can you travel up to 35 miles using solely electricity, you can also take advantage of a muscular 455 total net system horsepower. A standard e-AWD system adds stability and confidence when driving in slippery conditions while boosting performance on dry road surfaces. Configurable drive modes including Pure, Hybrid, and Power means that you can tailor the characteristics of the XC60 Plug-In Hybrid to suit your preferences. Included as standard, its 22.9-foot TurboCord makes it simple to take advantage of both Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities. Reduced carbon emissions helps to reduce our impact on the environment, yet another benefit that comes from driving a Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid.

Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid Safety

Driver-Assistive Safety

No other manufacturer remains more committed to protecting the safety of drivers quite like Volvo. This dedication is especially evident when you look at the lengthy list of driver-assistive safety technologies found on the Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid. Standard Oncoming Lane Mitigation can automatically correctively steer your vehicle back into its intended position within the lane should it begin to stray. Road Sign Information keeps you constantly informed of current speed limits, directional signs, traffic warnings, and much more directly on the 12-inch Driver Display. Preventative braking technology can even react to obstacles or potential danger should the driver fail to take action in time.
