A pair of Black Edition Volvos are due in Australia next month, which will serve as plug-in hybrid flagships of the S60 and XC60 lines.

A name change and a power boost headline minor changes to Volvo’s existing electric vehicles, alongside tweaks to its hybrid models.

The Volvo XC60 is a luxurious, comfortable mid-sized SUV, but it's best experienced in cheaper specifications than this range-topper.

Alex M purchased this Volvo XC60 used for $33,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2020. Alex M would buy this car again because: "The XC60's grunty D5 engine has a great balance of power and economy, the family-friendly packaging means there is plenty of space and functionality (even for a family of five), the safety technology is convenient and reassuring, and like most Volvos it's aging like a fine wine!"

Volvo has cut back its range of combustion-powered models as it gears up to go all-electric locally by 2026.

Volvo has axed the priciest petrol version of its XC60 SUV, but is adding a more affordable plug-in hybrid variant.

The Volvo XC60 Recharge Plus T8 PHEV is set to launch in Australia in the third quarter of 2023 and slot under the existing Ultimate version.

The Volvo XC60 is a smart pick at a sharp price, given most of its rivals have been smashed by significant price rises.

Petrol versions of the XC40 and all versions of the XC60 will be missing certain safety features for five weeks of production.

Volvo Cars Australia has given the majority of its model price increases by between $500 and $4000, depending on the variant.

In the largest transformation of Volvo's line-up since being acquired by Geely, the Swedish brand will roll out a fleet of EVs including sedans and a people mover.

Alf T purchased this Volvo XC60 new for $111,000 (including all on-road costs). Alf T would buy this car again because: "It's a great package. Ticks all the boxes for styling, comfort, performance and economy. No 'range anxiety' with no need to wait at a Charging Station, but able to drive around my town all day on pure electric propulsion. Build quality is excellent."

Volvo's plug-in hybrid XC60 and XC90 have been recalled to fix a problem with the engine control module, although owners won't need to visit a dealer for a fix.

The Recharge PHEV adds more performance and efficiency to the already capable XC60 package. It's an impressive vehicle that's hard to fault.

Volvo Australia has made some running tweaks to its big-selling XC60 medium SUV range for the 2023 model year.
