The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is one of the most appealing luxury plug-in hybrid compact sport utility vehicles on the market, especially after the improvements made this year. The XC60 Recharge gains a larger battery which translates into more range, but it also gets more power and more features.
At the heart of the improvements made to the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge, we find a new 18.8 kWh battery which replaces the previous 11.6-kWh battery pack. This increases the range offered in the XC60 Recharge by 87%, meaning that you can now go 58 km without using a single drop of fuel. This is nearly double what you could do in the previous XC60 Recharge.
In tangible terms, this means that you should be able to do most of your daily commute without needing a single drop of fuel. Think about how many kilometres you drive daily. If you drive less than 50 kilometres, you should have no issues whatsoever getting to your destination and back without any fuel. This translates into considerable fuel savings at the end of the year. Other improvements made to the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge include a more powerful rear electric motor which now delivers 455 hp as opposed to 400. This makes the XC60 Recharge by far the most powerful plug-in hybrid luxury SUV in its class.
The new XC60 Recharge isn’t just more powerful than the previous model, it’s also the most powerful vehicle ever produced by Volvo. This leads to quicker accelerations and a much more enjoyable and dynamic driving experience for the owner.
