Volvo Cars launches long-range plug-in hybrid variants of best-selling XC60 and XC90 SUVs

The new XC60, which has had a comprehensive design update, delivers class-leading electric range of up to 124 miles on a single charge, with the XC90 providing up to 99 miles. This is more than two and a half times as high as on the existing plug-in hybrid variants.

These long-range hybrids are a key part of Volvo Cars’ bridge to a fully electric future. They offer drivers paradigm-shifting electric range that makes school runs, daily commutes and weekend trips effortless and free of tailpipe emissions, with the quiet refinement of electric driving.

“The XC60 is our best-selling model of all time, while the XC90 marked the beginning of our premium journey,” says Håkan Samuelsson, President & CEO at Volvo Cars. “Now, as long range plug-in hybrids, they build on those legacies and, together with the all-electric EX60, give us our strongest-ever electrified offering in the mid-size SUV segment. This means a path to full electrification for every customer.”

Significant design and safety upgrades for new XC60
The new exterior design includes an upgraded grille and redesigned front bumper, bonnet, front wings and new wheels, plus an updated look for the signature Thor's Hammer Matrix LED headlights.

The sophistication doesn't stop with the exterior. With a new dashboard and door panel design, wood decor and Cardamom ventilated Nappa leather and top-of-the-line interior illumination, the cabin exudes elegance and calm.

Built with Volvo Cars' latest active safety technology, drivers can feel confident on their travels with features from steering around danger with automatic emergency steering, braking instantly with automatic emergency braking, to alerting occupants of an approaching cyclist before a door is opened. If a potential collision is detected, the car can respond in real time, helping to avoid or reduce the impact. You can also expect a wide range of advanced driver support features that work quietly in the background, such as lane change assist and a 360 camera with 3D view to help drivers feel more aware behind the wheel.

The new XC60 also puts key information and controls within easy reach, with the 11.2-inch screen giving access to Volvo Car UX, Volvo's latest infotainment system.

With Google Gemini, the next-generation AI assistant from Google, drivers can interact with the car naturally. From planning journeys and suggesting the best rest stops, to managing messages on the move, Gemini has it covered.

The XC90, now even better than before
The Volvo XC90 has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed premium family SUVs, setting a benchmark for safety, comfort and Scandinavian design. Building on recent technology and design updates, this seven-seater continues to be one of the safest cars on the road.

The XC90 is designed to be a space where every journey feels more relaxing, restorative and comfortable. The optional Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system transforms the cabin into a space for immersive listening and unparalleled sound. Like the XC60, the XC90 also now features Google Gemini.

Securing continued popularity
Like all new Volvo cars, the new XC60 and XC90 will benefit from regular over-the-air updates, meaning a car that is great from day one gets better as time goes on.
