The Volvo XC60 Recharge starts off strong with standard all-wheel drive and pairs a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a set of electric motors. The result? Efficiency without sacrificing performance.
As a plug-in mild hybrid, the XC60 Recharge sips fuel as it uses regenerative braking to reclaim and store energy. Plus, standard Start/Stop tech not only conserves fuel but also reduces vehicle emissions, helping preserve the environment too.

Continuing the trend of the Volvo’s previous competitors, the Genesis Electrified GV70 offers less legroom and less cargo volume than the Volvo XC60 Recharge. Taking a different tact, the GV70 uses only electric energy, although its net horsepower can’t quite keep up with the Volvo. Plus, it eliminates the option and flexibility that the XC60 Recharge provides; so, if you want the power of choice, choose the Volvo.
