2025 Volvo XC60 Specs & Trims Unveiled

The 2025 Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid is an attractive luxury SUV with plenty of room for five passengers and cargo. You can choose from a range of trim options and rely on an all-electric driving range of 35 miles, limiting gas station trips. Our team at Volvo Cars Mission Viejo took a closer look at the 2025 edition to explain what's new and which trim might suit you best.

What's New for the 2025 Volvo XC60?

As we already noted, the main change for 2025 is the name. The plug-in hybrid version of Volvo's XC60 is no longer referred to as the XC60 Recharge but rather the XC60 plug-in hybrid. The former Ultimate trim has also been rebranded as the XC60 Ultra. Additionally, a few tech upgrades are noticeable throughout the trim lineup, but there are no major design changes.

The XC60 is currently in its second generation and continues to be available as a gas-powered SUV and as a plug-in hybrid. The Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid price is slightly higher than the gas-powered lineup.

Specifications and Features by Trim

You can choose from four Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid trims for 2025: Core, Plus, Ultra, and Polestar Engineered. The starting MSRP for the base Core trim is $59,345, and it offers several upscale features. The top-tier Polestar Engineered trim, only available as a plug-in hybrid, starts at $76,545, which places it in the luxury car range.

All XC60 plug-in hybrid models benefit from heated front seats, a 9-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay, and a 12-inch digital instrument display.

For the gas-powered XC60, the starting MSRP ranges from $48,345 for the base Core trim to $58,295 for the upscale Ultra trim. Here's a breakdown of the various trims.

Core

The Core trim boasts a potent 455-horsepower hybrid powertrain. Inside the cabin, you'll benefit from Volvo's renowned clean and minimalist design approach and extensive passenger space. The rear row gets praise for its legroom, which is more than enough to accommodate most adult passengers.

With the 12.3-inch infotainment display, you'll have no trouble accessing radio stations and podcasts, and you can rely on the XC60's extensive safety features, such as collision warning and emergency braking, to help you while behind the wheel.

Plus

The Plus trim provides a 360-degree parking camera, which allows you to check for hazards from all angles while maneuvering in tight parking spots. You'll also get adaptive cruise control, which adjusts the vehicle's speed to help you maintain a safe distance from others. The pilot assist option gives you a taste of semiautonomous driving on certain stretches of road.

Ultra

The Ultra trim moves into luxury territory with ventilated front seats, nappa leather upholstery, and 20-inch wheels. The head-up display makes it much easier for you to monitor the performance of your XC60 since it projects all key data onto your windshield. As a bonus, you'll also get a premium stereo.

Polestar Engineered

This trim is specific to the XC60 plug-in hybrid, giving it a unique blend of features. Aside from the powertrain, the other three trims are comparable to those of the same name in the gas-powered XC60's lineup.

The Polestar Engineered comes with an upgraded all-wheel-drive powertrain, which is equipped with 21-inch wheels and an enhanced sports suspension for added comfort and performance.

Volvo XC60 Engine Specs and Charging

The powertrain in the plug-in hybrid Volvo XC60 includes an 18 kWh battery that provides this vehicle with its all-electric driving range. The Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid has a range of 35 miles on a full charge.

If you want to run your XC60 exclusively on battery power, you'll be able to charge the battery at home or a public Level 2 charger in about five hours. Like all plug-in hybrids in the Volvo lineup, the 2025 Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid switches seamlessly to the gas-powered turbocharged engine when your battery runs out of charge, allowing you to continue driving without interruption.

Comfort, Safety, and Technology

Your comfort is assured in this Volvo by synthetic leather upholstery and power-adjustable and heated front seats in the base trim. Additionally, power-folding headrests and a moonroof add a few distinct touches. In addition to the nappa leather seats, the Ultra trim includes other comfort features, such as wood trim and quad-zone automatic climate control. The climate control allows each passenger to adjust the temperature to their preference.

Cargo space hasn't changed since 2024, with the Volvo XC60 Recharge cargo space of about 22 cubic feet behind the second row still applying.

An extensive list of safety features is already available in the base trim. These include blind-spot monitoring, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and rear parking sensors. The traffic sign recognition system projects important information from signs onto your display, helping you with speed limits or other key driving rules. The Plus trim provides adaptive cruise control and front and side parking sensors.
