Expert 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2023 Volvo XC60?

The 2023 Volvo XC60 is a five-seat luxury SUV that’s notable for its powertrain choices, handsome cabin layout and impressive lineup of safety features. A 247-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard on B5 models and can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. B6 models come standard with all-wheel drive and a 295-hp turbocharged and supercharged version of the base engine. The XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid adds electric motors to the B6 engine to deliver an eye-popping 455 hp and 35 miles of electric-only driving range. The XC60’s rivals include the Acura RDX, BMW X3, Buick Envision, Lincoln Corsair and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

What’s New on the 2023 Volvo XC60?

Volvo has renamed the three primary trim levels offered on both the standard XC60 and the XC60 Recharge: the base Core, mid-level Premium and range-topping Ultimate. Other minor changes include new wheel designs and the addition of two new exterior paints: Bright Dusk Metallic and Black Stone.

What Features in the 2023 Volvo XC60 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 9-inch touchscreen
  • Google-based navigation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 12-inch digital gauge cluster
  • Power liftgate
  • Blind spot warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Lane departure steering assist
  • Lane departure warning

Available features include:

  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Surround-view parking camera system
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Quad-zone climate control
  • Head-up display
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Heated steering wheel

Should I Buy the 2023 Volvo XC60?

The Volvo XC60 remains a great choice for SUV shoppers who value a comfortable ride, classy interior, and long lineup of standard and optional active-safety features. The ride does get much firmer if you opt for the larger alloy wheels, however, and the price of plug-in hybrid models is steep when scaling to higher trims.

  • We recently purchased a used XC60 plug-in and we love it

    We recently purchased a used XC60 plug-in and we love it thus far. It had 35k miles and is in perfect condition inside and out. A month of driving this far and have put in $35 in gas (premium). We are using the 110v charging option which does take over 12 hours for a full recharge. But topping it off every night makes sense. Our utility bill looks like about $12 more with the charging - California. We are retired so our mileage does not contain commuting. The car is quiet especially on e-mode. Very smooth ride and quite peppy with the turbo charged 4 cylinder engine. Creature comforts galore but having to learn the ins and outs of the almost completely touchscreen environment. Map navigation is a breeze with voice command 100% effective. Seats and entry are great. We researched operating costs and Volvo does have high maintenance cost at the dealer. So we got an extended warranty on top of 2 years original remaining warranty. Only issue so far is the “secret” code to plugging and unplugging the charge cord. Need to lock and then unlock the car when inserting/removing the plug. And a warning - there is no spare wheel. Pretty common with e-vehicles as a weight saver. The is a compressor with tire goo as the emergency backup. Pretty sure that needs replacement if used. Look at the tire service plan as an option. The assisted drive mode is growing on me. It keeps the car centered in the lane and uses as array of cameras to gauge conditions. A light hand on the wheel is how I use it. The main test was an erratic driver pulling into our lane and the car reacted quickly and safely to the situation. It will slow down in cruise control to the traffic ahead. This is a luxury vehicle and it drives and feels like one. We are highly impressed.

  • I purchased a 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge in January 2023

    I purchased a 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge in January 2023 for over $70,000, expecting the premium quality and reliability Volvo promises. Instead, this vehicle has been a relentless source of frustration, riddled with persistent issues that have made ownership a nightmare. Within just two weeks, the check engine light flared up, forcing an early shop visit. The problem resurfaced in July 2023, leaving the car sidelined for a week. Over the next 18 months, the infotainment system became a constant headache—audio outages, malfunctioning parking sensors and cameras, and lost data connectivity forced me to waste hours on online troubleshooting to avoid repeated dealer trips. The situation escalated in February 2025 when a critical engine failure triggered "turtle mode," crippling the vehicle to a 45 mph crawl. This required a grueling three-week repair. Barely six weeks later, in May 2025, the charging cable became stuck, rendering the car completely inoperable. This fiasco demanded a tow, caused a 30-minute delay to work, and led to another two weeks in the shop. In under 2.5 years, this $70,000 vehicle has been out of service for a staggering six weeks. Despite escalating these issues to Volvo corporate, I received nothing but dismissive responses and zero meaningful resolution. Volvo’s utter failure to stand behind their product reveals a brand that prioritizes profits over customers. The XC60 Recharge is not just unreliable—it’s a betrayal of trust, delivering endless breakdowns and stress instead of the luxury it promises. Choosing Volvo means risking your money, time, and peace of mind on a company that abandons you when things go wrong. Save yourself the regret: do NOT buy from Volvo

  • Favorite car ever.

    I love my volvo. I have one that is fully loaded, and it is so luxe and fun to drive. The turbo makes it literally zoomier than my husband's mustang, but it can also go all day without any gas at all if I need to use it in pure mode.

  • XC60 a great car

    Works really well. Good power, great styling. Pros include 18 gal tank. Negs include odometer buried in menu system not on display. Same with switching modes. Had a knob on last car. Now buried in menus.
