![]() A three-plug charging cable comes standard, refilling the battery at a standard outlet, needing from 3.5 hours to six hours. In Pure driving mode and when fitted with 19-inch wheels, the 10.7-kWh battery is good for up to 28.6 miles of all-electric driving. Preliminary gas mileage on the WLTP cycle shows returns of anywhere from 112.8 mpg to 141.2 mpg on the combined cycle when fitted with 19-inch wheels, nearly tripling the best returns of the next-most frugal XC40 in the range and its D3 four-cylinder turbodiesel. The PHEV comes in front-wheel drive only, though, and needs 7.3 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, 0.7 seconds longer than the T5 AWD.įuel consumption and UK tax benefits are the names of the green game here. Volvo claims a combined output of 258 hp, making this model the most powerful in the XC40 range, besting the 2.0-liter turbo in the T5 AWD by 14 hp. The model sees the first application of Volvo's new seven-speed twin-clutch automatic in the carmaker's modular platforms. The segment's first PHEV luxury compact crossover harnesses a 1.5-liter three-cylinder gas engine with 178 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, assisted by an electric motor with 80 hp and 118 lb-ft. The UK becomes the first market to hit the target with the introduction of the XC40 T5 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid. 2020 Volvo XC60 Specificationsĭrivetrain: 2.In 2017, Volvo pledged that it would offer a plug-in version of all its models by 2019. There’s nothing wrong with the XC60 that an easier-to-use center screen wouldn’t fix. ![]() Otherwise, this is a nice-driving, high-quality, good-looking crossover. Sensus remains a Volvo deal-breaker for me. Sadly, most of the car’s adjustments are accomplished through swiping your way around the screen. And more than once, the screen didn’t respond immediately to my inputs, requiring several stabs at whatever icon I wanted to function. The simplest operation-say, turning on a heated seat or switching the radio from AM to FM-takes too much attention away from the road. Sensus looks elegant and is well-integrated, I’ll give Volvo that, but it’s far too complicated. There’s a caveat, however, and a big one: Sensus, the iPad-style center screen, remains maddening to me, even now that I’ve had more experience with it and even though Volvo claims the resolution is better and the processor 50 percent faster. Volvo says 60 mph arrives in about 6.5 seconds, and really, do you need your Volvo crossover any quicker? No, you need your Volvo crossover to be good-looking, well-built and comfortable on the road. The car is adequately quick off the line and in the middle revs. I put a lot of miles over a couple weeks in a XC60 T6 Inscription, and indeed, the T6’s lag is minimal. Volvo figures combining the two gives the benefits of both while canceling out their negatives. A turbocharger doesn’t sap horsepower, but it takes time to get spinning to add power. Why does my tester, the T6, have a supercharger added to the 2.0-liter turbo? It adds power throughout the rev range, but it costs horsepower to run it. Volvo’s XC60s all use a 2.0-liter turbo-four in front-drive T5, all-wheel-drive T6, and T8 plug-in hybrid flavors. ![]() The XC60, a slightly smaller, nimbler and quicker people hauler than the XC90, comes in right on its big brother’s tail. So far this year, Volvo’s best-sellers are, in order, the XC90, XC60 and XC40 crossovers. ![]()
