Small SUVs are practical vehicles that often aren’t very stylish. Luckily, Volvo places equal emphasis on the style and functionality of their vehicles, and it’s why their model XC60 is turning heads in Lafayette. With broad exterior features, an impressive interior, and a host of technology, this small crossover oozes style wherever it goes.

What’s new in the 2022 Volvo XC60

For years, the XC60 has had two gas powertrains, the T5 and T6. But this year, Volvo has opted to replace the T5 and T6 with the B5 and B6 mild-hybrid engines instead.

With Volvo starting to use their new B-series of engines, they now have two separate hybrid powertrains, the Mild hybrid and the Recharge hybrid. The difference between these two engines is that mild hybrid's use fuel, whereas recharge hybrids require fuel and electricity to keep the engine running. This article will compare these two engine types so customers like yourself can be well informed.

For their 2022 lineup, Volvo is looking towards the future as they have decided to remove their long-standing gas-powered T-series of engines and replace them with the new hybrid B-series. This switch will effectively end all gas options in Volvo vehicles, making all future Volvo's be exclusively hybrid or fully electric automobiles.
