As sedans and sports cars fade ever further out of view and SUVs and electric vehicles lurk ever closer, the XC60 Recharge T8 serves as a happy medium between the "right now" and the "eventually." Its mix of gasoline-electric hybrid power and understated luxury deems ideal. For decades, safety has been Volvo’s specialization and that reputation lives on in the XC60. The Volvo XC60 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. That means it has a gasoline engine, a battery pack, and an electric motor, and it can operate only on electricity, only on the gasoline engine, or using a combination of both. Volvo says the plug-in XC60 is good for an electric-only range of 31 km, which means if your commute is shorter than that and you have a charger at home or at work, the XC60 could operate as your daily driver while rarely using any gas at all by keeping it in its eco drive mode. It offers a comfortable-yet-capable driving experience and world-class safety all wrapped up in a supremely stylish Scandinavian package.
