About the 2022 Volvo S60 Recharge

The 2022 Volvo S60 Recharge is a sedan that earns a Carivo score of 8.2/10 — rated Recommended. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.8/10, while Value at 7.7/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 8.0/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. On safety, it scores 8.8/10 in our assessment. Always confirm the official crash-test results for your exact trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

With 7.9/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. On technology it rates 8.6/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Priced from $52,546–$69,805, 69 MPG, seating 5, the Volvo S60 Recharge sits in the premium tier of the sedan category. At 7.7/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.

Verdict: Nothing about the 2022 Volvo S60 Recharge will scare a sensible buyer off. It scores consistently across the board, and it does what a good sedan should — quietly and competently.
