The Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar is an often overlooked sleeper SUV with heaps of both power and efficiency. This 2021 example comes in just before the 2022 major update which saw a name change to XC60 Recharge Polestar, along with interior, software, and powertrain changes.

This 2021 example was the last year to get the 2.0L Turbo engine with both a super and turbo charger, this was changed to pure turbo for the 2022-present model year to reduce complexity and increase reliability. The 2021 XC60 T8 Polestar comes in with a combined 415HP and 494 lb-ft of torque thanks to a rear axle mounted electric motor.

While I personally would go for a 2022 and newer XC60 and Polestar variant due to powertrain enhancements and better software, this 2021 model is the last year you can get the steeringwheel mounted paddle shifters and center console drive mode selector as both have been axed in newer models.
