Decent cargo-hauling capability puts the XC60 mid-pack among its rivals in our testing with its rear seats folded, we fit 20 of our carry-on suitcases. Clean lines and high-quality materials add a distinctly Scandinavian flavor to the XC60's cabin-and we'd expect nothing less from a modern Volvo. The quiet, comfortable cabin also provides adult-sized accommodations in both rows. With interior styling and rich materials that mirror more expensive Volvos, the XC60 is like having your kladdkaka and eating it, too.

When we get a chance to take the XC60 on our 75-mph highway fuel economy test route, we'll update this story with its results. The EPA estimates that B5 models should deliver 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The XC60 T8 can be charged at a public charging station or at home via 110- or 220-volt outlets, but Volvo also provides a handy feature that can juice the battery with energy generated from the SUV's gasoline engine when needed. Going with either the Recharge or Polestar model makes the T8 plug-in-hybrid powertrain standard, which carries a 32-mile electric-only driving-range estimate.

Under the hood of base B5-badged XC60s is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a 48-volt hybrid system making 247 horsepower. Volvo offers two different powertrains-B5 and plug-in-hybrid T8-in the XC60, both mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Plus trim comes with prettier wheels, leather upholstery, a 360-degree camera system, and front and rear parking sensors. The extra cost versus the base Core trim is worth it here, with all sorts of features becoming standard. We'd suggest upgrading to the mid-range Plus trim with the B5 powertrain.
