XC60
The Volvo most of my clients end up in.
The XC60 is the balance point of the Volvo lineup — big enough for weekends in Shenandoah, refined enough for a Tysons dinner. It's been the brand's best-selling SUV for a decade for good reason.
From the high $40,000s
The three things I’ll say about the XC60 first.
Two very different personalities
B5 for the traditional buyer, T8 plug-in for 35+ miles of pure electric range on your Fairfax commute.
The most complete Volvo interior
Ultimate trim brings ventilated Nappa seats, Bowers & Wilkins audio, and air suspension — genuinely flagship-grade.
Federal & Virginia tax credits
The T8 plug-in qualifies for federal EV incentives — I'll walk you through what you actually get.
Refreshed inside and out, the current XC60 offers a B5 mild-hybrid and a genuinely strong T8 plug-in hybrid. The cabin uses the same materials as the XC90 — real wood, Nordico, and the vertical Google display — in a package that still fits in a townhouse garage.
- Families of four who don't need a third row
- Buyers cross-shopping the Audi Q5, Genesis GV70, or Lexus RX
- Anyone with a home charger who wants EV commuting with gas-engine flexibility
- Weekend travelers heading to the mountains or the shore
Ways to drive it.

The numbers, briefly.
“If you charge at home and drive under 40 miles a day, the T8 plug-in changes how you think about gas. Most of my XC60 T8 clients fill up once a month.”

About the XC60.
B5 or T8 — how do I choose?+
Home charger and short commute → T8. No home charger or lots of highway miles → B5. I'll do the math with you.
Does the T8 qualify for tax credits?+
It qualifies for a federal plug-in credit at time of writing. Amount depends on your tax situation — I'll connect you with our finance team for specifics.
Air suspension — worth it?+
On Ultimate, absolutely. It lowers the car at highway speeds, raises it for gravel driveways, and drops for easier loading.
