Mild Hybrid vs. Plug-In Hybrid: What’s the Difference?

Volvo’s lineup offers two compelling options for the XC60, depending on how you drive and where you spend most of your time on the road.

XC60 B5 Mild Hybrid

The B5 powertrain uses a 48-volt mild hybrid system that supports a gas engine. While it does not provide fully electric driving, it enhances everyday performance with:

• Faster acceleration and smoother power delivery
• Reduced fuel consumption compared to conventional engines
• Lower emissions
• A refined stop/start function ideal for city driving

This is an excellent choice for Calgary drivers wanting improved efficiency and responsiveness—without ever needing to plug in.

XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)

The XC60 Recharge pairs a turbocharged engine with a larger battery and electric motor, providing:

• Fully electric driving for many daily errands and commutes
• Stronger torque and performance
• The ability to plug in at home, work, or public chargers
• Significantly reduced weekly fuel use

For Calgary families whose weekday driving often stays within city limits, the XC60 Recharge can handle most daily trips on electric power alone. For weekends in the mountains, the hybrid powertrain ensures worry-free range and confidence on long drives.

Perfectly Suited to Calgary Life

Driving to the Mountains for a Day Hike or Ski Trip: With spirited performance, responsive handling, and ample cargo space, the XC60 is an ideal companion for trips to Banff, Canmore, Sunshine, or Lake Louise. The available all-wheel drive system gives added confidence through winter driving conditions, and the Recharge’s electric torque is excellent for climbing steep highways like the Kananaskis Trail or the Icefields Parkway.

Running Kids to Hockey Practice or After-School Activities: From Royal Oak to Crowfoot to Rocky Ridge, Calgary families spend a lot of time on the road. The XC60 offers:

• Quick-loading cargo space for hockey bags
• Intuitive Google built-in navigation for rink-to-rink travel
• Premium comfort for your passengers
• Excellent fuel efficiency in stop-and-go suburban driving
• It’s the mid-size SUV that makes evening activities feel easier—not crowded.

Daily Commuting Across the City: Whether you’re heading downtown from NW Calgary or navigating Crowchild, Stoney Trail, or Deerfoot, the XC60’s electrified systems shine in real-life driving:

• The mild hybrid enhances efficiency and smoothness in start/stop traffic.
• The plug-in hybrid allows many Calgary commutes to be driven entirely electric.
• Volvo’s safety technology adds confidence during winter driving and heavy rush-hour conditions.

Safety and Comfort That Alberta Drivers Trust

The 2026 XC60 includes Volvo’s most advanced safety suite, with features such as:

• Blind Spot Information System with Steer Assist
