2024 Volvo XC60 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo XC60 compact luxury SUV is offered in four trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultimate and Polestar Engineered.

Two engines are available for the Core, Plus and Ultimate trims. The base engine, called B5, is 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 plug-in hybrid version, called Recharge T8, uses the same engine paired with an electric motor that powers the rear wheels. The gas/electric combination (455 hp and 523 lb-ft) is aided by an 18.8-kWh battery, which helps the XC60 plug-in hybrid offer an estimated 35 miles of electric-only range. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. The Polestar Engineered is only available with the Recharge T8 engine.

Core
The entry-level trim is well equipped with plenty of advanced tech and safety features. Standard feature highlights include:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Roof rails
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Cloth or synthetic leather upholstery (depending on color)
  • Heated front seats
  • Google-based infotainment system
  • 9-inch infotainment display
  • Navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay connectivity
  • Satellite radio

Standard advanced safety features include:

  • 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 assistance (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)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
Stepping up to the Plus trim adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Leather upholstery
  • Wood interior trim
  • Power-folding rear headrests
  • Cabin air purifier
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Front, rear and side parking sensors
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Enhanced lane keeping assistance

Ultimate
The Ultimate trim is the most luxurious model, with upgrades including:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Sound-reducing laminated side windows
  • Upgraded Nappa leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats with additional thigh and side adjustments
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Crystal gear selector knob
  • Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • 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
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Adjustable Ohlins suspension dampers
  • Brembo brakes with gold-painted calipers
  • Additional front seat adjustments
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Bowers & Wilkins premium audio

Multiple options are available depending on trim. All trims can opt for the Climate package, which includes:

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Headlight washers

The Ultimate trim also offers a new Black Edition package, which adds:

  • Onyx Black paint
  • 21-inch black wheels
  • Gloss-black badges
  • Choice of charcoal leather or blended leather/textile upholstery

Stand-alone options include:

  • Power liftgate (all trims)
  • Integrated rear child-seat boosters (all trims)
  • Harman Kardon premium audio system (Plus)
  • Massaging front seats (Ultimate)
  • Bowers & Wilkins audio system (Ultimate)
  • Adaptive air suspension (Ultimate)
  • 22-inch wheels (Polestar Engineered)

Which XC60 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If your budget allows, we recommend the XC60 Recharge in Plus trim. The plug-in hybrid is more powerful, and more expensive, than its base four-cylinder counterpart. But if you have a short commute or regular routes that can maximize the Recharge's 35 miles of electric-only range, you could recoup the added expense through reduced fuel consumption. But if the bulk of your driving will dip into the gas side of things, we'd suggest sticking with the base B5 engine with the Plus trim. The latter offers improved cabin treatments and extra driver assistance features.
