A Look at the Improvements Made to the 2022 Volvo V60 Recharge

The Volvo V60 has always been a one-of-a-kind vehicle. It deploys the performance of a sporty European sedan, while offering the space, volume and convenience of an SUV. It is a true driver’s car equipped with only the best in terms of mechanical components, chassis calibration and technological advancements.

The V60 Recharge throws efficiency into the mix, letting drivers use electrical power to travel on short and long distances without using fuel, but also providing them with extra performance.

Volvo has announced that the new and improved Recharge plug-in hybrid powertrain is now available in Canada in its V60 Recharge wagon. This means more power, increased efficiency and improved driveability to make the V60 better than ever.
