Manufacturer data · WLTP-estimated consumption · Caralogy-simulated performance

Among the 9 saloons plug-in hybrid, the S60 T8 AWD Recharge combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (mid-table), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the S60 T8 AWD Recharge through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Once the 64 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 8.4 L/100, versus 6,5 L/100 km (HEV segment median, N=16). Beyond ~208 km without intermediate charging, an equivalent segment HEV becomes more cost-efficient.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (1st with 96 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Mercedes C 400 e 4MATIC Limousine (1st with 1003 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 64 km pure electric (mid-table)

With a full battery, the S60 T8 AWD Recharge drives in pure electric mode for the first 64 km WLTP - placing it 5th of 9 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (96 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the S60 T8 AWD Recharge behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
