The 2022 Volvo XC60 is a mild but appetizing reworking of the Swedish automaker’s best-selling model SUV. The update is designed to keep pace with a long lineup of luxury-badged rivals. By mild, we’re referring to what’s under the hood of this five-passenger sport-ute, not a degree of salsa spiciness or the latest picante fusion taco. • That’s because Volvo has replaced the XC60’s T5 and T6 powertrains with a new mild-hybrid lineup that consists of the entry-level B5 and mid-range B6. Each engine uses the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder as a base, and both use a 48-volt battery and belt-driven starter generator. • The turbocharged B5 produces a total of 247 horsepower and can be had in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations. The B6 engine employs both a turbocharger and supercharger to deliver 295 horsepower and is only offered with all-wheel drive. As before, the 400-horsepower plug-in hybrid T8 powertrain with its 18 miles of EV range remains the top dog in the XC60 range. • Each of the XC60’s mild-hybrid engines’ claim to fame is smoother power delivery and improved fuel economy. Do these new powertrains live up to their promise? The results are a mixed bag, at least in the trafficked confines of midtown Manhattan and the surrounding region. • Before setting out, Volvo reps made a point to mention that the B5 and B6 powertrains have a much smoother – to use their word, silent – application of the stop/start fuel-saving system. In Manhattan traffic and at endless traffic lights, it was impressive how the system barely makes any noise or vibration. That’s good because it can’t be turned off, unlike most stop/start systems in other vehicles. • The turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter B6 engine is strong when merging onto a highway, and you’ll need less than 6.0 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph. Now, will that scare sporty SUVs from the likes of Mercedes-AMG or BMW’s M division? Probably not. But power from the XC60 B6 engine is linear and provides more than enough pace. • One disappointment is that fuel economy isn’t far removed from the outgoing T5 and T6 motors. In the case of our XC60 tester, the official EPA-estimated mileage registers at 21 miles per gallon in city driving and 27 on the highway, for a combined average of 24 mpg. For comparison, the previous T6 engine posted 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway, and a combined 23 mpg. • Welcome to C T REVIEW : channel for car reviews. We are always looking for a new discovery in cars.
