Road Beat ~ 2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge AWD review: Fast and mostly fresh
Submitted by paula on Wed, 05/24/2023 - 9:51pm
I have a hit-and-miss relationship with a certain stylish Swedish carmaker. Volvos often offer understated, Bauhaus styling that looks modern without any effort, and lavishly luxurious interiors that can rival any other competing brand in their space. They're not without issue, though, with a majority of Volvos tested exhibiting wonky electronics that are unacceptably unreliable in 2023, such as doors not locking, center display lockups, maps freezing, and buzzing speakers. Luckily, this XC60 showed none of that, so I was able to enjoy at its full strength.

As the region grew to support its seasonal visitors, and more people relocated to Tahoe, a community hospital became vital.
