The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge Could Be Your Perfect Sleeper SUV, and Here's Why! 

This is correct. There's no longer a supercharger.

Thanks for the info. I've owned several Volvo's ( 2 of which have saved my life in accidents) and was concerned about the complexity of both supercharger and turbocharging in this motor. I still think they're asking a lot from a 2 liter, but at least the supercharger is gone.

Have you been able to test drive one? They are brutally quick, we are buying one. We went in to get an S60 recharge but I cannot see having that much power in that small of a vehicle (wife, kids will be driving It as well). The extra heft of the XC (exact same power plant), the one we test drove it had 35 miles range.

⁠you’ll always find comments from people who have not actually experienced something, but amazingly are experts!

@@steptoeson007 my comment was about specs and numbers, not driving experience. i got my car. i've tracked it. as expected, it's a riot while u have battery, but WAY down on power once the battery runs out, (which, on TMP-cayuga, took me maybe 20-24 laps). That notwithstanding, i've never owned a +200HP or a +200lb-ft TQ car prior. my butt dyno ain't qualified to tell me how close to 455HP i'm feeling down the straight away, or if i'm getting 312HP at 0% battery. Enthusiasts know we don’t get the HP on the specs sheet, at the wheels. But while it’s relatively well understood what the losses are in an ICE car, that’s less clear with hybrids. volvo doesn’t help at all with that. specs and numbers are two things that volvo has real issues with in north america. "Is the car twincharged or turbo only?" that's a pretty simple question, that different outlets couldn't agree on. Out of Spec reviews i think went all the way to europe to meet with an engineer and was told the supercharger's being deleted. the build sheet for my 2023MY car was printed in early 2022, and still listed it as being twincharged. googling my engine code pulls up zero information (B4204T57). Even on swedespeed, the jury's out as late as the end of 2022. And when volvo does half year revisions, it's hard to know what would actually come with your specific car, if your car isn't due to arrive for 6, 8, 12 months. "Does the base sound system include a sub woofer? and would it have one if i end up with a 2023.5 instead of a 2023?" how do you trust what the dealership says, when the dealership says you're getting a supercharger, but the engineer in belgium says you aren't? (and that's not even considering that european customers were being told basic features they'd optioned were no longer included in their trim, due to supply chain issues, and they'd have to move up a trim level if they wanted them). Volvo has a transparency issue when it comes to details. they're either iterating too fast (ironic for a company whose lineup had been pretty stagnant), or they simply don't feckin care.

Awesome! How many miles does it currently have on it? I am thinking of buying one myself.

45K it's still like NEW !!

Got a source on that range?

You get your km and miles Mixed up there buddy?

Not true on the range...

@@bills6055 Volvo websites. 77km pure electric or about 48 miles.

just saw another vid that confirms this - the guy got 79.8km/49.5 miles all electric driving in the rain in Norway. Not highway speeds though mostly city ish driving

The elect motor is in the rear so in elec mode it’s a rear wheel drive.

Actually the real Chinese car makers not just owned are making some impressive stuff.

Why is that?

I got extra warranty on my V60 Cross country its 4 years old now haven't needed it. But I got it because of all the electronics. I got 7 years 100,000 miles bumper to bumper. I love my car especially in winter !!!

Actually, the cars from what I understand aren't made in China. Volvo still controls the production of the cars. The Chinese company only owns the brand.

That's totally correct, but it seems that people have issues to get that. The situation with Volvo owned by Geely is just how Land Rover and Jaguar are owned by TATA. The Chinese and Indian investors/company mad great investments on buying and owning these luxury car brands.

@@badrzain4106 agreed

I’m not happy with CCP ownership because you just don’t know what the evil bastards will pull next. Don’t do business with them or the zRussians. Also, those little engines being supercharged and turbo changed at the same time is crazy (they do sell some like that still in other cars I believe). Adding PIEV bits just means too much can go wrong.

They kept the turbo in 2022 but dropped the additional supercharger. I’ll bet you have a single cylinder motorcycle as your mode of transportation due to the less can go wrong concern. I’m with you I prefer to pedal to work but stuff still can go wrong…believe me.

Total trash pile comment above. Because one example has a problem doesn't mean all, most or many do.

I'm 6'4" and don't knock my head in my 2023. Between that dumb comment and the fact that this guy thinks the engine is still supercharged, he has no credibility with me. He's an arrogant wise guy.

Let's stop calling cars engineered and designed in Sweden "Chinese." This car is likely built in Belgium which isn't either here or there.

@@benjaminsmith2287 there owned by a Chinese company

@@hitman74 So? Doesn't make them Chinese. The parent is not the same as the company.

The UK models are all designed and built in Sweden.

@@SimonKelk All Volvos are designed in Sweden and engineered there. In the USA, some are built in the USA, most in Sweden and Belgium, and one model in China.

That's what makes it cool. It isn't there to impress you. It's there to impress the owner.

Chinese actually

Volvo is not, or ever has been, German.

I kind of get what you mean but at around $20k or more of a price difference do you think many people will cross-shop this against those vehicles?

Volvo is Swedish. It has a Chinese parent company but it acts autonomously and the cars are developed, designed, engineered, road tested and crash tested in Sweden.
