2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge: Affordable Fuel-Efficient Reliability
The new 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is waiting for you. Electric and hybrid vehicles are trendy and in line with future challenges. And that’s exactly what this compact luxury SUV offers: a hybrid engine that’s the perfect mix of gasoline and electricity.
If you’re longing for an innovative vehicle in terms of engine, safety features or interior comfort, the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge will seduce you. Let’s have a closer look!
XC60 Recharge: powered by innovation
This is definitely not a money-saving purchase: the starting price of the 2022 XC60 Recharge is $55,345. Equipped with an automatic transmission, four-wheel drive and five seats, it’s the perfect hybrid vehicle:
- 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission
- Hill descent control system
- Micro-hybrid technology, including a Start/Stop function
The engine of the new XC60 has been significantly improved. It is a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a combined output of 400 horsepower. This gasoline engine is paired with a plug-in electric motor. The XC60 Recharge 2022 can drive from 0-100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds.
For range, “Volvo said that the XC60 PHEV would increase its electric range from 30.5 kilometers to 51.5 kilometers, i.e. a 68% jump2.” Good news, because of the increased battery size, you’ll now benefit from a $7,400 federal tax credit, which means $2,000 more than the previous edition.
Finally, fuel consumption, largely compensated by the hybrid mode, is 9.8 L/100 km in the city and 8.7 L/100 km on the highway.
WHIPS: driving safely
Volvo has a long history of building safe and reliable vehicles for all its customers. Among other things, the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is equipped with WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) technology.
This system offers energy-absorbing seat backs and cushions, as well as a specially designed headrest for the front seats. In addition, thanks to the eCall function, the car detects accidents and contacts an emergency call centre itself.
The interior of the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge
At Volvo, there is no compromise between comfort and safety. The luxury SUV has a cutting-edge infotainment package that runs on the Google Android-based operating system already offered on the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge.
This system displays information on:
- Speed
- Traffic signs
- Warning symbols and indicators
- Battery status
- Incoming calls
- Music tracks being played
The display is controlled by the two steering wheel keypads.
The Volvo XC60 Recharge also has a head-up display, which includes traffic, speed and navigation warnings. Information about traffic signs and incoming phone calls is also displayed. Also, if you prefer to control the weather, music or even your navigation with your voice or the steering wheel keypad, that is possible too in the 2022 XC60 Recharge.
In short, whether we’re talking about the exterior, the interior or its features, Volvo remains the logical choice for consumers who want to feel at the helm of a high-performance, useful and safe SUV. Charles Jolicoeur stated in Le Guide De L’auto 2022, that:
“Volvo had an excellent product on hand when the XC60 was introduced, and that’s what allows the model to remain competitive today against a rejuvenated competition.”
Volvo West Island: Passionate staff above all!
