The Volvo S60 Recharge is an interesting proposition in the modern automotive landscape where crossovers still rule supreme and all-electric powertrains are what grab the headlines. It’s a plug-in hybrid sedan that, in T8 specification, gets just 31 miles to the gallon combined but puts down an impressive 455 horsepower. The shrug-inspiring fuel economy, however, is offset by an all-electric driving range of up to 41 miles – enough to save a gallon of gas every day on the morning commute.
There are a few minor changes from the 2023 range, with the big news being the loss of the Polestar Engineered trim (Polestar Engineered Optimization can now be added as a package, however). Other changes are that Vapour Grey metallic paint replaces Black Stone, some packages have changed slightly and for the better, the exterior ‘Dark’ theme is now standard, and the top-tier trim, the Ultimate, is now only available with an all-wheel-drive powertrain. And that’s the trim Volvo sent us over to drive for a week to see how it holds up for 2024.
