The cozy XC60 enhances the look and drivability of the Polestar Engineered SUV by its 21-inch black forged wheels; colored seat belts and Brembo brakes, a heads up display system, a co-pilot assist system and a panoramic roof.
And the XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered Plug-In offers more horsepower than the Lexus RX Plug-In, Mazda CX-70 Plug-In and Jeep Grand Cherokee Plug-In. Moreover, the electric driving range of the Volvo and the Lexus are about the same, while the Jeep and Mazda are significantly less.
Furthermore, both the Jeep and Volvo are designed for tackling dirt roads and climbing hills. Yet, for those not too concerned about off-road driving and/or electric range, the Mazda could fit the bill, especially if one is factoring in value pricing based on features. However, for those seeking a sophisticated design, horsepower, a European driving experience and electric driving range, the Volvo takes the lead.
Near Competition: 2025 Lexus RX Plug-In
Near Non Competition: 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Plug-In and Mazda CX-70 Plug-In
