2026 Volvo XC60 Engine Power & MPG
Under the hood, the new Volvo XC60 is equipped with the B5 powertrain, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine pumps out 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque through a standard AWD drivetrain. The 2026 Volvo XC60 specs enable you to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped and go from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
This midsize SUV continues to impress, especially as we take a look at the Volvo XC60 MPG rating. It renders an EPA-estimated 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 and boasts an 18.8-gallon fuel tank.
Plus, by using its regenerative braking, the Volvo XC60 captures energy while slowing down and braking and stores it in its 48-volt battery. When this stored energy is utilized, both fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions are reduced, enhancing efficiency and contributing to a more eco-friendly driving experience.
As mentioned, all versions of the 2026 Volvo XC60 come with all-wheel drive for increased stability and traction, ensuring a confident ride in various road and weather conditions. In addition, the Dynamic Chassis is specially designed with an aluminum double-wishbone suspension architecture to provide a commanding and agile ride that's as comfortable as it is fun.
When terrain becomes challenging, the Volvo XC60 ground clearance can help: this SUV rides 8.5 inches off the ground, easily allowing for rougher campsite trips.
