2023 Volvo V60 Recharge Interior and Cargo

You will never find subpar materials or any hard plastics inside a Volvo, let alone in a Polestar Engineered version, so you just know the V60 Recharge is going to be immaculate. Nappa leather covers all the seating surfaces, while the dash and door panels are lined with soft-touch leatherette and trimmed with metal mesh inlays. Unfortunately, Charcoal is the only color scheme available inside. A crystal gear shifter knob is standard, as are gold seatbelts.

To remain competitive alongside hyper-practical SUVs, wagons have to ensure they have plenty of room for junk in the trunk. In this regard, the Volvo V60 Recharge's cargo capacity is adequate but not astounding. There are 22.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which is less than you'll find in the A4 allroad. Still, it's more than you'll find in just about any sedan, and you can fold the rear seats down to create a larger 60.5 cu-ft area. Luckily, you get storage pockets beneath the seats to make up for some of the lacking space.

For smaller personal effects, the cabin supplies spacious door pockets, an assortment of bins around the center console, a glove compartment, and a pair of cupholders for each row of seating.

The Volvo V60 Recharge is one of the most well-equipped vehicles on the road, and in Polestar Engineered guise it gets almost every feature imaginable as standard. This includes Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic moonroof, and quad-zone climate control, while high-level illumination helps during those dark nights. Both front seats are power-adjustable with lumbar support, as well as heating and memory settings. The rear perches are also heated. Naturally, you get a variety of conveniences such as keyless entry, push-button start, and cruise control, but it's the safety suite that makes the wagon so great for families. The extensive list includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, lane keep assist, forward collision avoidance, a surround-view camera, and Pilot Assist. The head-up display is a nice final touch to round out the offering.

You'll never want for entertainment when driving the V60 Recharge, as the infotainment suit is extremely well-equipped. The nine-inch touchscreen is a little small considering that most luxury vehicles make use of a 10- or 11-inch setup these days. Nevertheless, the interface is programmed with Googe Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, SiriusXM, voice controls, and 4G Wi-Fi capability. As the top-tier trim, the Polestar Engineered enjoys the high-end 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system as standard, which remains one of the better setups in the segment.
