XC60 Hybrid

Though the Volvo XC60 T8 Hybrid SUV is a near doppelganger for the standard XC60, it trades that version's powertrain for a powerful plug-in-hybrid system that not only increases efficiency but also brings some heat. Specifically, it offers an EPA-estimated 35 miles of electric-only range and up to 63 MPGe, all while laying down a 4.4-second leap to 60 mph in C/D testing. In nearly every other respect, the five-passenger XC60 Hybrid SUV is a virtual twin to its sibling: handsome Scandinavian exterior styling gives way to a comfortable and functional interior with a logical design, premium materials and finishes, and thoughtful touches. While the XC60 Hybrid is starting to show its age, Volvo gave it a few cosmetic tweaks to help it compete with the likes of the all-new Audi Q5 PHEV. If the XC60 Hybrid's Cool Swede style appeals to you, know that it remains a C/D favorite—as well as a sensible choice.
