Review With the latest Porsche 911 GTS, Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, and C63 adopting hybrid technology to boost performance through electric power, the Volvo XC60 T8 Recharge is a pioneer in this tech, delivering impressive power that's truly extraordinary. I recently bought the 2024 XC60 T8 Recharge and have been driving it for the past five months. After extensive research, this model stands out as the best-value hybrid on the market. It combines a 306hp internal combustion engine with a 143hp rear electric motor, yielding a remarkable 449hp and 709Nm of torque.
One of the standout benefits is the annual road tax of just $1,176â€"a fraction of the cost you will pay for a comparable all-electric vehicle, where road tax typically exceeds $3,500. The XC60 T8 Recharge also offers an all-electric range of 65km, eliminating range anxiety with the backup of a 306hp internal combustion engine. Whether you want the thrill of a supercar at the push of a button or a smooth, purely electric drive, this hybrid offers versatility unmatched by other vehicles.
Charging on the go, especially on highways, enhances the convenience, while the ride quality is refined, striking a balance between comfort and sporty handling. With powerful, well-modulated brakes and a suite of standard premium features, it's difficult to find a better all-around performer. The package includes a five-year warranty with servicing, eight years of battery coverage, complimentary data in Malaysia, and Volvo's factory-installed front and rear cameras. This XC60 T8 Recharge is truly the best of both worlds.
What I like 1. Panoramic sunroof with sunshade
2. 65km pure electric mode
3. Auto pilot with traffic jam start/stop
4. Full Nappa leather - hard to find these days
5. Both front seats with memory
6. One pedal drive
7. 14 speaker HK with 1 subwoofer
8. Good sized boot
9. Integrated Google map
10.360 parking camera
11. Best in class well sculpted front and rear seats
What I do not like 1. Wish it came with the 21" rims
2. No HUD
3. No rear window shades
