The Swedish automaker offering the Volvo V60 T6 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid is Volvo.
The V60 is a Volvo estate, or station wagon, and the T6 Twin Engine version combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric drive system and a rechargeable battery. “Twin Engine” was Volvo’s branding for its plug-in-hybrid powertrain family, not the name of a separate automaker or a second gasoline engine.
The T6 Twin Engine configuration was offered as an all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid, with the gasoline engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor powering the rear axle. That arrangement gave the V60 both electric-only capability for shorter trips and gasoline-electric performance for longer journeys.
Volvo is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and the V60 belongs to the company’s long-running line of premium estate cars. The name can cause confusion because Volvo has also used labels such as Recharge and T8 for related plug-in-hybrid models. Audi and BMW offer competing plug-in hybrids, while Saab is a former Swedish automaker rather than the maker of this Volvo model.
