The mild-hybrid powertrain option in the XC60 range combines a 48-volt battery with a KERS kinetic energy recovery system to reduce fuel consumption and improve driveability and response, especially at low speeds. An integrated starter generator also provides faster, quieter restarting of the engine.
Three plug-in hybrid powertrains are also available, combining a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that drives the front wheels and an electric motor that powers the rear wheels. The entry-level Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T6 has only been recently introduced to the XC60 range. It has a high-voltage battery which enables it to travel up to 32 miles on electric power alone
The 390hp Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T8 and 405hp Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T8 Polestar Engineered completes the range.
Every plug-in hybrid XC60 has a 11.6kWh high-voltage battery that can be completely recharged in as little as two and a half hours.
“The XC60 has always had the perfect blend of luxury, technology and safety, and now, thanks to the latest advanced hybrid powertrains, it has broader appeal for both private buyers and company car drivers” said Steve Beattie, Volvo Car UK Head of Sales. “A larger range of economical and powerful engines means there is an XC60 for every premium mid-size SUV buyer”.
On-the-road prices start at £40,460 for the front-wheel-drive B4 diesel and B5 petrol, while PCP finance is available from just £388 per month and PCH from only £399 per month. Like all other Volvo models, the XC60 can also be purchased entirely online using Volvo’s fully end-to-end sales platform, plus it is available via Care by Volvo, Volvo’s flexible and convenient subscription service.
