Used 2023 Volvo XC60 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Volvo XC60 is a compact luxury SUV that is offered in four trim levels: Base, Plus, Ultimate and Polestar Engineered. There are also three exterior choices: Base, Dark and Bright, with the Base aligned with the trim level and the Dark (blacked-out exterior accents) and Bright (Chrome/metallic exterior accents) available on higher trim levels. These trims are the same with the XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid model.

There are also four powertrain choices. The B5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system (247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque). The B6 adds a supercharger to the same engine for more power (295 hp, 310 lb-ft). The Recharge T8 is a plug-in hybrid with an 18.8-kWh battery (455 hp, 523 lb-ft) and is estimated to return 35 miles of electric-only range.

All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the B5 engine, and all-wheel drive is an option. The B6 and Recharge T8 powertrains come equipped with AWD.

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping assist (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Automatic reverse braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Automatic high beams
  • Driver alertness monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Traffic sign reader

Plus
Stepping up to the Plus trim gives you the choice of either the Dark or Bright exteriors and adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Leather upholstery
  • Wood interior trim
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Power-folding rear headrests
  • Universal garage door opener
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Side parking sensors
  • IntelliSafe Assist (enhanced lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control functionality)

  • Harman Kardon audio upgrade
  • Enhanced interior ambient lighting
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Polestar Engineered
The Polestar Engineered trim is the sporty alternative in the lineup and is only offered with the T8 powertrain. Other upgrades include:

  • 21-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • Adaptive headlights

Many features are available on supporting trims as options. Stand-alone add-ons include integrated rear-seat child boosters

Which XC60 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If your budget is generous enough, we recommend the XC60 Recharge in Plus trim. This plug-in hybrid is quite a bit more powerful and expensive than the mild hybrid powertrains, but depending on your commute, charger availability and gas prices, you could recoup the added cost in a few years through reduced fuel consumption. Otherwise, we'd stick with the standard hybrid drivetrain in Plus trim, and perhaps add all-wheel drive if you're in a region with cold or wet weather.
