Plug-in hybrid cars
Our no-compromise combination of plug-in battery electric power and an efficient petrol engine provides low to zero tailpipe emissions, excellent flexibility and a powerful driving experience.
A plug-in hybrid car – how does it work?
A Volvo plug-in hybrid car has both an electric motor and a petrol engine – Twin Engine. For electric power, there’s a battery that can easily be charged at home or at a charging station.
Twin engines
The car combines both electric and petrol power. Seamlessly together, or separately to give you the most efficient driving experience.
Three drive modes
Our plug-in hybrid models offer a range of drive modes to suit every occasion – choose between full Power mode, Pure electric mode and the balanced Hybrid mode.
Battery charging
The large battery gives an electric-only range of around 40–50 km and can easily be charged at home or at a charging station. It’s also charged during driving every time you brake or slow down.
Our other electrified powertrains
Pure electric
The full electric powertrain – for a silent, powerful and refined zero tailpipe emission driving experience.
Mild hybrid
An effective powertrain technology where electricity supports the combustion engine for a smoother and more fuel-efficient drive.
