Overview
The second generation XC60 was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The first −60 series model in its generation and the first since Volvo's purchase by Geely, it is based on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform as the S90, V90, and XC90. As part of Volvo's move toward smaller engines, the new model uses only four-cylinder engines, in various configurations and states of tune, again shared with the −90 series models. The car was facelifted on 2 March 2021, with the new version debuting alongside the Volvo C40. The engines remain the same 2.0 litre with petrol, diesel, or PHEV power.
Mild hybrid
The XC60 was released with two mild hybrid variants in 2020, with both a petrol and diesel 2.0L variant available. They utilize an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and a KERS system In 2023, Volvo removed conventional engines as an option, meaning mild hybrids are the base engine option in the US.
Plug-in hybrid
The XC60 was released with a T8 plug-in hybrid variant that used the T6 engine combined with a 10.4 kWh battery (9.2 kWh usable) and an 87 hp rear electric motor to produce 407 hp. The EPA all-electric range is 18 mi. For the 2020 model year, the battery size was increased to 11.6 kWh, which increased the EPA range to 19 mi. For the 2021 model year, T8 models were renamed to "Recharge" models.
