In its base configuration, the Volvo V60 wagon is no performance machine. In fact, it actually feels a little underpowered. Since the T6 is no longer available, you only get access to the T5, which takes a more lethargic 6.4 seconds to pull the weighty wagon from 0 to 60 mph. To top it all off, the motor drones rather unpleasantly when pushed to perform and there is no option of an all-wheel drivetrain. This means that camping trips are off the menu, unless the dirt roads are well-traveled, and those living in areas prone to heavy storms or snow may need to look elsewhere for better grip. The T8 found in the hybrid is a much better performer, with the electrical assistance doing just as much to improve power outputs as fuel efficiency. Thanks to this, the Recharge dispatches the 0-60 benchmark in a brisk 4.3 seconds, and it can climb to a top speed that's electronically limited to 112 mph. Since it comes standard with an all-wheel drivetrain, it's more capable off-road or on slippery surfaces, but since the electric motors are in charge of powering the rear axle, you need to ensure the battery has some charge. Regardless of which powertrain you end up with, the V60 is only rated with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.2021 V60 Performance Photos

The standard V60 and the plug-in Recharge each get their own powertrain. The turbocharged T5 engine on the gas-fed wagon displaces 2.0 liters to develop 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. These outputs are subpar for the racy wagons we have come to love, such as the Audi A4 allroad or the Jaguar XF Sportbrake. Still, it's enough to move the V60's sizable rump around town. An eight-speed automatic gearbox directs the power to the front wheels only, with no option to upgrade to an all-wheel drivetrain. The PHEV receives a T8 powertrain instead. The engine itself is a twin-charged four-cylinder similar to the one found in the regular wagon. However, the additional electrical components give it a power-up that increases outputs to 415 hp and 494 lb-ft. Thanks to this galvanic upgrade, the Recharge feels like a true sports wagon, and the same smooth eight-speed automatic does duty rowing the gears. Since it has a lot more power to work with, the hybrid V60 gets an all-wheel drivetrain as standard.2021 Volvo V60 Performance Specs
