Overview
- Volvo has fitted both the XC60 and XC90 with a 41.2 kWh battery (37.9 kWh usable) under the floor to create a Long‑Range plug‑in hybrid package.
- The XC60 Long‑Range PHEV now posts about 200 km of WLTP electric range while the XC90 Long‑Range PHEV reaches roughly 164 km, according to the company.
- The new powertrain adds a 130 kW rear electric drive, revisions to the 2.0‑litre turbo engine using Miller timing, and integrated starter‑generator changes to improve efficiency and performance.
- Charging and tech have been upgraded with 11 kW AC onboard charging, no DC fast charging, a larger infotainment system with Google Gemini and an expanded sensor suite for advanced driver aids.
- Prices for the plug‑in variants rise by roughly €2,000 and Volvo frames the update as a way to keep long‑running ICE‑based models relevant where full EV adoption remains incomplete.
