The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription is a luxurious and high-tech midsize SUV. Thanks to its advanced powertrain, it offers a thrilling driving experience with plenty of torque and brisk acceleration. It also has plenty of range for electric-only driving, and the cabin is loaded with luxury and technology features that make it a great choice for those who want a luxurious and comfortable ride.
The Inscription takes the base Momentum to the next level of luxury, adding 19-inch wheels, chrome exterior trim, ambient interior lighting, four-zone automatic climate control (B5 and B6 only), ventilated front seats, upgraded leather upholstery, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Front parking sensors are also included, unless already included in the Momentum/Inscription Expression trim. Air suspension and a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system are available as optional upgrades.
The T8 powertrain consists of a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for spirited driving and passing on the highway. The electric motor alone gets about 36 miles on a full charge which extends the MPG to 63 miles. The XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription also comes with all-wheel drive for extra traction and stability in any condition. Expect to get 63 miles on electric/gas combination and 28 miles on gasoline only.
Safety is a top priority for Volvo, and the XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription comes with a host of advanced safety features. The car is equipped with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a 360-degree camera system.
The interior of the XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription is just as impressive as its powertrain. The cabin is well-appointed with plenty of leather, soft-touch materials, and high-end features. The 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system is responsive but is frustrating to operate. It’s like an onion with many layers to peel to get to what you want. The intuitive voice recognition makes it easy to control the climate, audio, and navigation systems. Additional driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree camera system come standard.
The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription is a great option for those looking for a luxurious and efficient crossover SUV. Its powerful and efficient powertrain and well-appointed interior make it a great choice for those who want a combination of performance and comfort.
