Torque: 640 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.9 s
The Volvo XC60 Recharge T8 Polestar Engineered challenges expectations by fusing luxury SUV versatility with hybridized high performance. Thanks to its dual power sources—an advanced four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor powering the rear—it delivers instantaneous torque, ultra-quick throttle response, and sports car-level acceleration. With a 0–100 km/h time under 5 seconds, the XC60 PE outpaces many V6-powered rivals, all while offering up to 50 km of electric-only driving for everyday tasks.
Handling is sharpened by Polestar-specific upgrades: adjustable Öhlins dampers, stiffer springs, recalibrated throttle and transmission logic, and golden Brembo front brakes. The setup provides crisp turn-in, impressive body control, and a planted feel, making this midsize SUV feel unexpectedly agile. The AWD system continuously optimizes grip between axles, and regenerative braking supports stability during aggressive deceleration, enhancing both efficiency and cornering confidence.
Despite its athletic character, the XC60 retains Volvo’s signature focus on comfort, safety, and design. The cabin is a sanctuary of natural materials, clean lines, and tech-forward interfaces, while the exterior styling remains elegant and restrained. The Polestar version’s golden highlights—brake calipers, dampers, seatbelts—are the only visual hints of its true capability. For those seeking a sustainable yet thrilling driving experience in a compact luxury SUV format, the XC60 Polestar Engineered delivers confident, electrified performance with Scandinavian poise.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“XC” stands for Cross Country, Volvo’s designation for its SUV and crossover models, while “60” denotes its position in the brand hierarchy between the smaller XC40 and larger XC90. The second-generation XC60 rides on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), shared with the 90-Series models, enabling electrified powertrains, active chassis technologies, and next-generation infotainment.
This model was developed as the centerpiece of Volvo’s post-Ford era renaissance, spearheaded by Chinese parent company Geely. It reflects the brand’s core values: safety, sustainability, serenity, and Swedish design.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“XC60” is universally recognized and unchanged across global markets. The alpha-numeric designation ensures naming consistency across all Volvo models, while the "Cross Country" heritage evokes both adventure-readiness and premium Nordic utility — even though the XC60 is more road-focused than its original off-road namesakes.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
Volvo offers the XC60 in a palette of elegant, nature-inspired colors such as Crystal White, Denim Blue, Thunder Grey, Onyx Black, Bright Dusk, and Fusion Red. Some versions feature matte aluminum trim, black contrast roofs, and darkened grilles for a sportier expression, especially in R-Design or Black Edition trims.
Interiors are a hallmark of Scandinavian luxury, with choices including Charcoal Nappa Leather, Blonde Leather, Amber Ventilated Leather, and Slate Grey Wool Blend upholstery. Natural materials such as driftwood inlays, open-pore oak, and Orrefors crystal gear shifters (on Recharge trims) elevate the tactile quality. The cabin emphasizes minimalism with a 9” portrait touchscreen and clean horizontal surfaces.
Wheels range from 18” multispoke alloys to 21” diamond-cut performance wheels on sport and Recharge trims, with optional air suspension for enhanced ride comfort.

vs Competitors
The XC60 competes with the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Acura RDX, and Lexus NX. While the Germans emphasize tech and dynamics, Volvo differentiates itself through serenity, comfort, and a safety-first ethos. The Recharge Plug-in Hybrid variant offers more power than most rivals, while maintaining exceptional cabin refinement and a user-friendly infotainment interface (now powered by Google Android Automotive OS since 2022). It’s especially appealing to buyers who value a calm driving experience over overt sportiness.
Fun Fact
The XC60 was the first vehicle to feature Volvo’s updated Pilot Assist system, capable of semi-autonomous highway driving with active lane centering up to 130 km/h. It was also one of the first SUVs to include an automatic braking system for oncoming traffic at intersections, setting a new benchmark in preventive collision avoidance — a hallmark of Volvo's "Vision Zero" philosophy.
