Question:

Looking for bike rack hitch for 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid. We saw comments about some of them interfering with hands free trunk opening and most of the comments are for older vehicles. Do you know if the hitches work for 2026 model and would you recommend one over the other - for example is one easier to install than another? Thank you!

Hey Colleen, congrats on the new SUV. To install a hitch on your 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid, I recommend the Curt item # C92WR. This custom fit class III hitch will bolt directly to your car with included hardware. It has a 2" receiver and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight so it'll work great with bike racks.

The Curt item # C92WR hitch will block the lift gate sensor right around the 2" receiver. You're not going to want to be kicking in that area anyways once you install the hitch. What you'll need to do is go to the left or right to find an area the sensor isn't blocked.

That installation process for both of these hitches is identical. I have linked an installation video below showing the Curt Hitch item # C92WR being installed so you can see how to get it setup.

What kind of bike rack do you have?

Colleen. We installed this hitch on both our 2020 and 2024 xc90 with no interference with auto tailgate.

I am looking at this Curt hitch receiver for our 2026 Volvo XC60 T8 (recharge PHEV version). I see a few comments saying that it fits perfectly fine, but when i search by vehicle type, your website says this is not a fit for the Recharge version (but it is for the regular XC60). It does list the Curt hitch as a fit for the Volvo XC60, but not for the XC60 Recharge. I just want to confirm that it does work with the Recharge version as people have mentioned in the comments. thanks, james

@James Hey James. I checked with Curt and their item # C92WR hitch will indeed fit your 2026 Volvo XC60 T8. There's no compatibility issues with the recharge PHEV model.

@JerredH Thank you for the clarification! FYI, your website is still showing that the Curt hitch shows is not a fit for the Recharge.
