with the new Recharge plug-in hybrid powertrain
Volvo Cars’ new and improved hybrid powertrain brings the all-electric range up to an estimated 76-98 kilometers when driven in pure mode on a single full charge. It also comes with the power to accelerate faster from 0 - 100 km/h, taking as little as 4.5 seconds. Along with the powertrain improvements, the turbocharged T8 petrol engine is also upgraded for higher fuel efficiency and performance. This means higher engine power at low revs and take-off while ensuring a more refined electrified drive with reduced CO2 tailpipe emissions.
Improvements to the Recharge plug-in hybrid powertrain include a new long-range battery, featuring a third layer of cells to increase nominal energy from 11.6 kWh to 18.8 kWh, and a more powerful rear electric motor now delivering 143 hp (up from 87 hp). The additional electric power results in a total combined output of 460 hp for Recharge T8 models, making these the most powerful Volvo cars ever produced.
The suite of upgrades includes the addition of creep mode, which can help deliver an especially smooth and intuitive driving experience. The function can facilitate progress at low speed, such as when waiting in traffic queues or in car parks. When the function is active the car will move slowly in the selected travel direction without the accelerator pedal being used. This feature will initially be available on the Volvo XC60 and S90 Recharge plug-in hybrids.
The new powertrain is introduced on all Volvo Recharge plug-in hybrid models based on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which includes the Volvo S60, V60, XC60, S90, and XC90 Recharge models. Goes the extra mile with Volvo at the Volvo showroom nationwide.
