    In some markets, the Volvo S60 Recharge qualifies for federal and provincial tax credits and other incentives, making it a cost-effective choice for buyers looking to save on ownership costs.

    Cons

    While the Google-based infotainment system is modern, it lacks Apple CarPlay integration (wireless version) and can sometimes be laggy. The touchscreen controls for climate settings can also be distracting while driving.
    Due to the plug-in hybrid battery placement, the trunk space is reduced to 13.8 cubic feet, which is smaller than some competitors in the luxury sedan segment.
    Despite its powerful engine, the Volvo S60 Recharge is not as sharp or engaging to drive as some of its sportier German rivals like the BMW 3 Series or Audi S4. The steering feels somewhat artificial, and the suspension is tuned more for comfort than dynamic handling.
    The rear seat legroom is adequate but not class-leading. Taller passengers may find it less spacious than competitors like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
    The Volvo S60 Recharge takes 4.5 hours to charge on a Level 2 charger, which is slower than some competitors. Additionally, it does not support DC fast charging, limiting its ability to quickly replenish electric range on the go.
