2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge First Drive Review | Pumping up the electric range:
Recharge. There were 2022 model year XC60 Recharge models sold prior to today that featured the same electric hardware as prior model years, and therefore featured the old EPA-estimated electric range of 19 miles on a full charge. The “extended range” model that we drove bumps that all the way up to 36 miles, nearly doubling the previous range.
This new battery pack is paired with a totally revamped powertrain setup. The layout is the same as before. That means there is an electric motor positioned on the rear axle that drives the rear wheels and a gasoline engine in front that exclusively powers the front wheels, thereby giving the XC60 Recharge all-wheel drive. To our delight, both the electric motor and the gasoline engine are new this year.
These pleasant surprises keep rolling when we get to the gasoline engine part of this hybrid XC60. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that was both supercharged and turbocharged before is now only turbocharged. Yes, Volvo dropped the supercharger, but only for the Recharge .
