What powertrains are available for the 2025 Volvo XC60 in Canada and what are the practical differences?
The 2025 XC60 is available in Canada in three variants: B5 AWD mild-hybrid (247 hp, ~$62,450 CAD), B6 AWD mild-hybrid (295 hp, ~$68,650 CAD), and T8 AWD Recharge PHEV (455 hp, ~$79,950 CAD). The B5 suits drivers who prioritize efficiency — 9.0 L/100 km combined NRCan in AWD. The B6 adds thrust for passing on the two-lane highways of British Columbia or Quebec, with 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. The T8 Recharge is ideal if you can charge overnight: the 60 to 70 km of electric range (EPA) covers most Canadian commuters on electricity alone during the week, bringing daily fuel costs nearly to zero. The combined hybrid fuel consumption for the T8 is 8.3 L/100 km (NRCan). All three variants include intelligent all-wheel drive as standard — an undeniable advantage on Canadian roads across all four seasons.
