Volvo V60 Recharge T6 PHEV Review 2022 - Why go hybrid with this premium estate?

[@mrradman2986]

I am on to my second T6 Recharge. The first had the 30 mile battery range and I was so impressed I traded for a cancelled order on a new 2023 longer range model. Coming from a succession of Audi V6 diesels I have been impressed by the effortless and smooth power delivery and very capable, balanced chassis which does well to hide the extra weight of the battery. The AWD function was what persuaded me and proved excellent climbing a lane covered in packed snow on summer tyres in the Alps last winter. The car suits well those with PV panels and work a lot from home to keep the battery charged up when not in use. The new Google infotainment system is OK when you get used to it but the bluetooth only input for the Harmon Kardon sound system had me foxed until I picked up a portable media player to store my large CD collection, not being a fan of spotify. As the battery is conditioning with use the full charge range has increased from 41 to 45 miles. The car drives very well on electric only mode RWD and seemlessly switches from this to petrol FWD on demand. If you have the lifestyle to make best use of what this car has to offer it makes a compelling case.

We’re taking delivery of one of these just like this in the coming days, mildly excited just not so keen on the interior design myself

Exciting stuff! What made you choose the V60 Recharge over other models?

[@samueld6511]

Please stop saying it's turbo and supercharged. Only turbo. The old t8 was that but not even the new T8 is. The T6 recharge has always only been turbocharged.

The 2023 T8 has a electric supercharger.

You’re incorrect. I have a 2021 v60 which has a supercharger and turbo. It’s a Down rated version of the t8 version. Thanks
