Uncovering the Secrets of the 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge - The Perfect PHEV for Everyday?

Volvo's aggressive electrification strategy is in full force, something we've experienced for a while now on TestDrive. This week James gets behind the wheel of the 2023 Volvo XC60 T8 AWD to see what this PHEV has to offer in the luxury market. This video was made possible with the support of Elmec and their EVduty Smart Home Charger. You can schedule, control access, and even see your estimated charging costs from the EVduty smartphone app. Use public charging stations and grant access to your own all from the app. For more information about the EVduty Smart Home Charger visit: https://www.elmec.ca/language/en/ Follow James over at Technically Cars on his channel here: ‪@technicallycars‬ We've driven most of the Volvo PHEVs over the past few years, including a number of XC60s of all types. 2023 doesn't bring any real change over the last one we drove, but James gets the chance to experience this vehicle at the tail end of winter to see what Swedish luxury feels like. This XC60 T8 Ultimate has all the features and tech you'd expect at the price point along with the optional 22" rims and 4C air suspension as options. James goes over the exterior design and features found on this 2023 Volvo XC60 T8 including some of his thoughts versus the other crossovers he's driven. He jumps inside to go over the layout and tech found on this compact luxury crossover including the Google built-in infotainment system. This XC60 T8 is good for about 53 kms of all-electric range, paired with the 2.0L Twin-Charged 4 cylinder engine, producing a total of 455 horsepower. James then takes this vehicle on a real-world road test to go over how this vehicle drives, rides, handles, and everything else you'd be interested in knowing if you're in the market for this type of vehicle.
