As they seek to court luxury buyers with eco-friendly leanings, upscale automakers are covering the gamut in terms of electric vehicle offerings.

This means offering not just pure EVs, but also plug-in hybrids for buyers not quite ready to make the leap to fully electric.

One such brand is Sweden’s Volvo, which offers a PHEV (plug-in hybrid) version of its 2026 Volvo XC60 midsize SUV, which offers a total of 35 miles in pure electric driving before the gas engine kicks in.

The luxury plug-in hybrid market is packed with competitors, including offerings from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi and BMW.

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the 2026 Volvo XC60 T8 AWD plug-in hybrid (Ultra trim level), and I’m back with a full report on how it holds up in this growing luxury sector. Read on to learn more about the XC60 PHEV and how it stacks up.
