Key Features of the 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid

T8 AWD Plug-in hybrid

The heart of the XC60 is the T8 AWD Plug-in hybrid powertrain, engineered to deliver performance where it matters most. With up to 455 hp, this system responds instantly for confident passing and merging, while the integrated electric motor enables whisper-quiet driving on short trips. All-wheel drive traction helps you carve a sure, stable path when roads turn slick or steep, and the estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds puts sports-sedan urgency under your right foot. The hybrid battery has a capacity of 18.8 kWh, supporting an EPA-estimated electric range of up to 35 miles. When you need to recharge from 0 to 100 percent, plan around five hours at an AC two-phase 16A charger (home wallbox or standard public AC), letting you top up overnight or while you work.

Google built-in with 11.2-inch center display

A clean, vertical 11.2-inch center display sits at the center of the cabin and runs Google built-in, so you can access Google Assistant voice control, Google Maps, and compatible apps right from the screen. The interface is designed for at-a-glance clarity, quick responses, and helpful prompts. Use your voice to set destinations, plan routes that include charging stops, call contacts, or adjust climate settings while keeping your hands on the wheel. Wired Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are available, offering seamless smartphone integration for music, messages, and select apps. The result is simple: the technology feels intuitive on day one, supportive in daily life, and tailored to the way you already navigate and connect.

Full LED headlights with Thor’s Hammer design

The XC60’s Full LED headlights, shaped in Volvo’s signature Thor’s Hammer design, cast a wide, consistent light pattern for confident nighttime driving. Automatic high beams can switch between high and low settings when you encounter other vehicles, and they are designed to be smart about ambient lighting—dimming in the city, staying bright past illuminated signs. The sculpted front lighting pairs with a refreshed grille design and darkened tail lamps to sharpen the XC60’s presence. Together, they give the SUV a distinctive face in any setting, while aligning with Volvo’s tradition of lighting that is both beautiful and functional.

Spacious and flexible trunk

Utility is a Volvo specialty, and the XC60’s Spacious and flexible trunk delivers. With the second row up, there is generous cargo room for groceries, weekend bags, and sports gear. Fold the rear seats to access up to 63.3 cu. ft. of cargo volume. The flat load floor and low, lip-free opening make packing easy, while the 40/60 split-folding backrests create several layouts for passengers and cargo. A through-hatch in the center rear seat lets you carry long items such as skis while keeping the outer seats usable. The power-operated tailgate can be opened hands-free with a gentle kick under the bumper—ideal when your hands are full. You can also operate it from the dashboard or the key fob, streamlining cargo tasks at home, work, or trailheads.

Air purifier and remote cabin pre-cleaning

Available on select trims, the XC60’s air purifier and remote cabin pre-cleaning help support a fresher interior environment. Before a drive, you can initiate a cabin pre-clean to help reduce airborne particles. Inside, the high-level interior illumination available on Plus creates a calm ambience after dark, while the optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound System or Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound can transform the cabin into an immersive listening space. Add the available head-up display to project key information in your line of sight and the 360° camera for a top-down view that eases parking and tight maneuvers. These enhancements underscore how the XC60 balances wellbeing, clarity, and convenience every time you step inside.
