xc60 T8 - real world mpg
I'm looking at a used xc60 T8 with 5000 miles on the clock. Currently my driving is no more that 28 miles at a time but with lockdown ending soon (?) I'll be doing a couple of trips/month of over 150 miles (equal split between motorway and rural) each way. Additionally we are likely to use it on holiday.
What can I reasonably expect to get in mpg? I realise that there are many variables to consider but a ball park figure is all I'm after. Many thanks. |

Hi Omron, this topic has been discussed many, many times in different threads on the forum, have a search and find them as they will give you a better idea.
It really depends on how often you will be charging the battery. Start every journey with a full battery and you should expect decent economy (even better if you can charge at home and at work too). Don't charge very often and doing lots of long journeys where electric driving wont be utilised too much and expect low to mid 30's mpg depending on your normal driving speed. Just remember, its a big heavy SUV that isn't that aerodynamic using a pretty powerful 2l twin charged petrol engine.

For the T8 it's pretty much impossible to say, wholly dependent on a whole bunch of factors inc journey type, time of year, journey distance/duration, your location and the kind of terrain you live in (in Mid-Wales where I lives hills are not unknown!). A decent indication may be HonestJohn's real mpg figures, the range he shows should indicate how variable the figures can be https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volvo/xc90-2015/t8

Many thanks, I did see some similar posts, I guess I just wanted as much input as possible.
