2022 Volvo V60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important 2022 Volvo V60 change is the midyear extended-range upgrade for the Polestar Engineered plug-in hybrid, which raises output to 455 hp and electric range to 41 miles. The lineup also shrinks as the regular Momentum, R-Design, and Inscription trims are dropped.
About the 2022 Volvo V60
2nd generation V60 (SPA-based, introduced for 2019); 2022 is a pre-refresh mid-cycle year before the broader 2023 Google-based infotainment and light styling update.
In 2022, the V60 is Volvo’s premium wagon alternative to the usual luxury crossover. The model’s core appeal is simple: car-like driving, real cargo usefulness, strong safety technology, and unmistakably Scandinavian design. The Cross Country version leans into all-weather and light-adventure use, while the Polestar Engineered version turns the same wagon shape into a fast plug-in hybrid. Across the range, Volvo positions the V60 as a smart, stylish, family-friendly wagon for buyers who want utility without moving to an SUV.
The 2022 V60 comes in two distinct forms: the raised Cross Country family wagon and the performance-focused Polestar Engineered plug-in hybrid. The Cross Country pairs a 250-hp turbo engine and AWD with extra ground clearance, while the Polestar adds upgraded suspension, Brembo front brakes, and premium cabin features such as Bowers & Wilkins audio.
