2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid consumer reviews

I have owned 2 Volvo's and both have been amazing including the 22 XC60 PHEV. I once had to wait for a part for longer than I would have liked but I was in a service loaner that was an upgrade to my car so I'm not really complaining. Overall, the car is quick, great on gas when I'm not using Electric daily. It's comfortable, great to look at, it can tow small boats/campers and is great for a small family/couple. I couldn't have been happier, it was just what I needed before going all the way EV.

Hybrid battery & cooling system with Battery Module control panel BURNS if u do long distance driving. Software updates are trash keeping the car malfunctioning. Car gets overheated in summer very often it makes whole tablet system on glitch, camera doesnt work too. Volvo corporate service is absolute garbage. they rely on dealership's policy to give loaner car or rental car to you when it's in service.

Wish I never bought this car. It’s always at the dealer for weeks at a time. Radio doesn’t work, heater doesn’t work, seats don’t adjust to keys, and etc.

I have had to call Volvo assist 8 times in 12 months as the 12 volt battery keeps failing at no notice leaving car dead. Volvo keep telling me I don’t drive the car far enough to keep the battery charged, but three times it had failed same day or next day after 120 kilometre journey. Annoyingly Volvo keep suggesting it is me causing this problem. Love the car, hate the problems.

Infotainment wasn't ready when I purchased the car. After approx 5 software updates in the first three months (mostly at the dealer), the car has been flawless. I now enjoy the Google interface very much, and love the car. I regularly get 45 miles e-range on easy highway drive, perfect for my commute. My car doesn't have air suspension, so the ride is arguably too firm for concrete pavement I have in my area. Could also be because of the curb rash-prone 20 inch wheels, I would choose an 18" wheel instead. Car materials and fit/finish are just superb, makes you feel special. It also makes driving my second car a chore :)

Drives and mechanically great car but software if horrendous and needs major improvements. Problems one after another keep our car in the shop over and over and will keep us from buying another volvo which is unfortunate as we love the car except the software that seems to be thrown together by cut rate software engineers.

I am enjoying this car. I like that I have both electric and gas options. We use the car for long trips especially when the baby is traveling. My Great Dane is also a fan of the car.

The most comfortable car I’ve probably ever sat in. All the safety features you’d want from a Volvo. Good power and ok efficiency from the battery, but we knew that was limited when we bought it based on the specs. Still good enough for a short daily commute. But the onboard computer is a mess. We’ve spent over a year having it replaced, rebooted, rewhatever to no avail. It freezes, locks out profiles, forgets settings, sometimes changes the HUD, doesn’t pair with phone on restarts, etc. It was in the shop for weeks for this, waiting for an “expert,” and eventually came back with little or no explanation or improvement. Really downgrades our experience too often.

Interesting to read the good and bad about XC60 Recharge Volvos. I have a 2022 extended range Inscription purchased May 2022 with 8,400 miles. To date it has been perfect. Three over the air software upgrades thus far. Everything works good including the Google info system. Dashboard mapping excellent. Bowers and Wilkins stereo great. It typically charges to 39 or 40 miles. All in town driving via EV. It’s a bit of a bother, but I’ve been able to average as high as 39 mpg on a 400 trip massaging the drive modes. Made a 600 mile one day trip to Vegas last year no problem with one gas stop. Plug-in cars are the way to go on long trips as EV charging woes continue (except Tesla). Very comfortable highly adjustable seats. Nice to have first three years of service prepaid. Stick it in power mode and it’s very quick. No wireless Car Play, but I’ve been OK with Google system plugging in Car Play if needed. There aren’t many plug-ins with this sort of range available which made it a good choice. Long positive history with Volvos.

The car is gorgeous and so fun to drive but after a week we had to take it in for the Google (which still doesn’t always work). Then the keyfobs weren’t connecting with the car and just problem after problem. The biggest now is there’s absolutely NO heat in pure(electric) mode or hybrid. There’s a defective part that needs to be replaced and Volvo has no word when it will be in. You can get heat in power mode, if the engine runs a while but that defeats the purpose of having it for electric. A few other annoying things, no place to hold sunglasses, the sun visor is horrible at blocking sun and after FINALLY getting Apple CarPlay, your phone has to always be plugged in, in order to use the CarPlay. For $67,000+ you’d think it would be a little better. I really honestly love the look and how fast the car is but all these problems aren’t worth it.
