The Volvo S60 Recharge gives you the best of both worlds: the strength of a combustion engine with the clean energy of an electric vehicle. Easily charge this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) from 0 to 100% in as little as five hours using a 240-volt home outlet. Let’s explore what this modern marvel equips under its hood.
The S60 Recharge pairs a 2.0L turbocharged T8 eAWD gasoline engine with an electric motor. This dynamic duo yields 455 net combined horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque for a potent performance. Add to that standard all-wheel drive, and the Volvo S60 Recharge helps you rediscover the joy of driving.
You’ll enjoy that power from the start, accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in a mere 4.3 seconds. Plus, the 8-speed Geartronic™ automatic transmission in the S60 Recharge helps provide agile and smooth handling in a variety of situations.
Whether you want to make the most of every mile or leave a smaller carbon footprint, the S60 Recharge delivers. Its gasoline engine earns an EPA-estimated 30 city/33 highway MPG. ** Meanwhile, electric power helps conserve fuel while also helping preserve the environment, to the tune of 74 MPGe and an all-electric range of 41 miles.*
The S60 Recharge’s micro hybrid technology is further aided by Start/Stop technology. It automatically shuts off the engine to eliminate idling, then restarts when you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator. As a result, you’ll reduce both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Volvo models are known for their forward-thinking design, upscale materials, and unparalleled attention to detail. This tradition of excellence is exemplified in the three trims of the S60 Recharge. Whether you choose the Core, the Plus, or the Ultimate, you’ll be treated to a luxe experience.
The S60 Recharge epitomizes Volvo’s Scandinavian aesthetic: a contemporary, streamlined design crafted with precision. Its ergonomic cockpit keeps everything within reach, including the available Swedish crystal gear shift.
The understated interior is not only elegantly sleek and stylish, but it also features nods to the natural world. Adding to its refinement are genuine driftwood or limewood trim and Iron Ore aluminum décor. These elements evoke a sense of calm and offer serenity even on the busiest of days.
The cabin of the Volvo S60 Recharge literally puts you in the lap of luxury. Heated front Comfort seats with lumbar support are draped in your choice of leatherette, Tailored Wool Blend upholstery, or leather. Additional standard amenities include:
Adding to your overall comfort is the space you and your passengers will enjoy once you enter the inner sanctum of the S60 Recharge:

Cargo Capacity

The trunk’s cargo capacity is large enough to stow and transport two large suitcases and two carry-ons. Easily access and load/unload this space thanks to keyless entry and the automatic tailgate.
As a brand, Volvo is known for being progressive, and that attribute continues regarding in-vehicle automation. From its tablet-style infotainment display and three audio system options to its advanced safety technologies, the S60 Recharge makes your time on the road even more enjoyable and safer.
You’ll benefit from a vast array of technologies. Bluetooth® and Apple CarPlay™ will keep you connected, while built-in Google provides access to Google Maps, voice-activated Google Assistant, and a plethora of apps via the Google Play store. Enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks through its 10-speaker High Performance audio system.
For a truly sensory encounter, opt for the available 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins high fidelity audio system with 1,410 watts and four different room modes:
It will transform the cabin of your Volvo into a fully immersive surround-sound experience, recreating the acoustics of a specific room chosen by you.
Of course, the technologies that matter most are those that help ensure the well-being of you and your passengers. The S60 Recharge provides a myriad of standard safety features, including:
Forward-thinking safety features continue with the available Pilot Assist. This semi-autonomous driving system adapts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It also makes steering adjustments to help keep your Volvo centered within your lane.
