Volvo XC60 Recharge Hybrid | What is it like?

This is a Volvo XC60 Recharge, one of Volvo's ever growing range of hybrid vehicles, the recharge uses a 2 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine mated to a bank of batteries which makes for 385 bhp and 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds. But a hybrid is not about the performance it is about saving fuel and the environment which is why the XC60 recharge produces just 55g/km of CO2 and can average around 88mpg on the WLTP cycle. Join us as we take a look at the new XC60 hybrid and find out what is it like?

What a review. No facts,.. but spot on describing the feel of this indeed lovely car. I have the very same one - since this morning. Love it.

[@burningmanmike]

Lovely indeed.

[@darkmatter7528]

Lovely

[@squeezy99]

I wish reviews would mention the mpg on a long run after the battery is depleted

[@kgupwell]

In normal driving the battery doesn't deplete entirely, ,especially on long runs. Clever electronics see to that. If you are daft enough to drive on full electric until it empty, well . . . .

[@musicalhistory4392]

It's rated in the upper 20s(27 in US) MPG, if you never plug it in.

[@antwonefernandez7554]

Cringe. Just a review might’ve been better. 6 year olds can’t buy this car but might like the painful starter. It’s a PHEV now review it.

[@christinearmington]

Seriously 🤦‍♀️

[@verulam2009]

Are you sure the plug in charges as you drive? I don't think it does...

[@Lochlany]

it does u have to press charge on the screen it charges it with engine

[@abovethebirds2]

Insurance is through the roof on this plus charging cost it more expensive to run than a D5..a d5 with volvo polestar upgrade will do 0 to 60 in 6 seconds

[@Campers5]

Does everything look pretty normal???

[@Harrison3-b4t]

😂

[@paulallison9969]

Good review

[@coloradoboo1071]

Anybody else notice the poor quality on that right-rear door? It doesn't close flush to the body....failure on the quality checker...should've sent it back to get fixed. And WHY isn't there a lock on the door to the recharge port? That's not something I'd want anybody walking by to have access to.

[@burningmanmike]

I've been driving since 1976, and never had anyone fuck with my cars. No need to lock the recharge port. If someone wants to get in, they will.

[@MattWhoNeedsALastName]

2 minutes to get into it.....

[@mikemolossi1701]

I think you re in the wrong business my friend. I fast tracked through the entire video.

[@billbrown722]

RECHARGE PHEV VERSION. The singular most disappointing aspect of this car is its inability to set a timed charge, using the car or app (believed the same on new XC90 models too). Unless you have a smart home charge point, people like me with a dumb one, on an economy 7 tariff need to be nocturnal to benefit from off peak charging. A retrograde step from earlier models and spoiling a brand new car! Volvo offer no solution and their promise to fix it has not materialised in 8 months and is nowhere in sight. There’s no timer on the market sufficiently highly rated to make using the plug-in cable safe in the UK at least & in any case it takes 9 hours to charge.

[@thegreenmanofsurrey4949]

Hate plug in don't buy any plug in I have XC60 self change

[@CarefreeRambler]

I drive a rwd 2.0t, 272HP at 3400 pounds. Zero to 100km/hr in 5.2 sec stock car. Why should I buy this Volvo? Don't get me wrong, I'll probably buy a Volvo wagon next, but not this hybrid nonsense. Edit: Highway speeds 110Km/hr is 5.6 l/100km. 140Km/hr is 7.0 l/100km. Personal mileage and the chassis is more stable at higher speeds than 110km/hr and flat feeling.

[@jimfisher6432]

Don’t tell the trees that you have to use coal power to charge it

[@pauldavis4815]

we use our solar panels

[@2HYPR]

@@pauldavis4815 and those panels magically dropped out of the sky ready to work, or were they made in a factory using coal power in China and then put on a big oily boat to ship over to you, but only after the diesel truck dropped them off?

[@darrenbroughton1399]

That’s got to be the worst review I have ever listened to

[@michaelmarfleet661]

Load of crap. Try to recover when they have broken down.

[@manfredkluge2972]

...why, what happens or what doesn't happen?

[@burningmanmike]

I think you think the Volvo is a British car.

[@dennispeterson9936]

You do not know what you are talking about

[@PeterbFree]

You are not saving trees, you are starving them, they NEED the CO2

[@Austin__]

This is the most ignorant comment I’ve ever read on KZbin, impressive.

[@2HYPR]

@@Austin__ The presenter stated that he is saving trees by not producing CO2 - Photosynthesis requires CO2 - sooooo in essence Peter is correct and not ignorant
