2021 Volvo V60 Recharge Review: League of Its Own

by Aiden Eksteen

This year sees the majority of Volvo's selection of cars transition into a range of electric and hybrid vehicles, with the 2021 Volvo V60 Recharge joining the plug-in hybrid electric selection. It's an exquisite vehicle, from its suave and modern design to its serene and refined ride quality, everything about the V60 Recharge is purposed around luxury. The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is the only other hybrid wagon in the USA, but it's more of a performance wagon and is presented at a price more than double that of the V60 Recharge's. Though as grand and high-end as the likes of theMercedes-Benz E-Class Wagonand theAudi A4 allroad, it's not really a fair fight. The 2021 Volvo V60 Recharge plug-in hybrid has a twin-turbocharged PHEV system under the hood that generates up to 415 horsepower, which is enough to propel the wagon from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. If you're looking for a unique, premium 4-door station wagon good for a family that happens to sprint off the line when you ask it to, look no further.

2021 Volvo V60 Recharge Changes:What’s The Difference vs The 2020 V60 Recharge?

Volvo has thrown a few new standard features at the V60 range, including LED exterior lighting, power-folding mirrors with auto-dimming, and a few extra USB-C charging ports. The V60 Recharge wagon is also safer thanks to standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Finally, this V60 plug-in hybrid gains the Recharge moniker for 2021, bringing it into line with other electrified Volvo models.

Pros and Cons

  • Modern and sumptuous interior
  • Potent and exciting performance
  • Short but nifty all-electric range
  • Can get quite choppy over rougher terrain

  • Mediocre fuel economy

Verdict:Is the 2021 Volvo V60 Recharge A Good Station Wagon?

The V60 Recharge should be far more popular than it is, even as a niche model. It's a superbly refined cruiser with suave and contemporary looks that accurately convey its sophisticated character on the road. It comes comprehensively outfitted with the best of what Volvo has to offer in premium, high-end luxury, with comforts and conveniences such as a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, and genuine leather upholstery. As is expected from Volvo, the V60 Recharge also comes extensively loaded with driver assists and safety features, including a 360-degree surround-view camera and front and rear parking sensors. Adding to exceptional build quality and superb reliability, not only did the 2021 Volvo V60 Recharge ace its review for crashworthiness and earn a top safety rating, but it was also given a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS or 2021. Though fairly pricey, the Volvo V60 Recharge is certainly worth the investment, especially for anyone looking for a unique car that offers a little excitement underneath all the practicality.

What Volvo V60 Recharge Model Should I Buy?

With its $67,550 starting price, the 2021 Volvo V60 Recharge station wagon is a very pricey vehicle, but it's the only option you've got if you're looking for a Volvo PHEV station wagon, or any PHEV station wagon for that matter. The V60 Recharge comes extensively outfitted with Polestar-engineered equipment and upscale features though, including its sophisticated PHEV powertrain, its specially-tuned chassis, Ohlins shock absorbers, and Brembo brakes. The driver is graced with a heated, leather-clad steering wheel, a 12-inch digital instrument panel, and with Sensus navigation. Both front seats feature multi-directional power-adjustability and, along with the outboard rear seats, also feature heating functionality. As a Volvo vehicle, the V60 comes with an amplitude of driver-assists as standard including front and rear park assist, oncoming lane mitigation, and a 360-degree surround view camera.
