The 2022 Volvo XC60 is a plug-in hybrid SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SPA generation. The T8 Recharge is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured T8 Recharge version develops 455 hp and 709 Nm (523 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 4.9 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 34% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 21% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 18.8 kWh. The recorded electric range is 81 km (50 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 1.6 L/100km. Its listed range is about 17% above the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,708 mm (185.4 in) in length, 1,902 mm (74.9 in) in width, and 1,658 mm (65.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,865 mm (112.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 468 litres (16.5 cu ft), expanding to 1,395 litres (49.3 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,135 kg (4,707 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,100 kg (4,630 lb). That cargo volume is about 7% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby plug-in hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2022 Volvo XC60 is strongest on power and towing capacity, while price stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
