Volvo S60 Recharge is 'US News & World Report' Best Luxury Plug-In Hybrid

MANILA: The Volvo S60 Recharge was hailed as the Best Luxury Plug-In Hybrid for 2022 by US News & World Report.

After assessing 82 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles and considering the overall score from the US News Best Car rankings, the starting price, Level 2 charging rate, and EPA fuel economy estimates, the S60 Recharge stood out in its category.

The 2022 Volvo S60 Recharge T8 Extended Range, which is produced in Ridgeville, South Carolina, produces 455horsepower and delivers a range of 74mpge combined/30mpg city/33mpg highway. When Pure Mode is activated, drivers can go up to 41 miles with zero tailpipe emissions. Automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and pedestrian and cyclist detection are all standard safety features of the S60 Recharge.

As it moves on its journey to electrification and a zero-emission future, Volvo targets for half of its global sales to be all-electric by 2025, with the remainder being hybrids. It is committed to become a fully electric car company by 2030.

In a statement, Volvo Car Americas Senior Vice President and Volvo Car USA President and CEO Anders Gustafsson said, “We are honored that the S60 Recharge has been recognized for its compelling combination of quality, value, and efficiency.”
