Volvo Reveals "America's Longest Electric Range" PHEVs, Packing up to 78 Miles on a Single Charge
- On Tuesday, Volvo revealed updated XC60 and XC90 SUVs, its first "long range plug-in hybrids," delivering class-leading all-electric ranges of 78 miles and 73 miles, respectively.
- Volvo integrated larger, floor-mounted battery packs, doubling capacity to 37.9 kWh of usable energy, enabling owners to handle most daily commutes purely on battery power.
- Both vehicles retain standard AWD and 455 horsepower, while total ranges reach 590 miles for the XC60 and 560 miles for the XC90 with a new 11.2-inch infotainment system featuring Gemini.
- Production begins this fall with U.S. sales starting early 2027, as Volvo claims these models offer "the longest electric range of any plug-in hybrids available in the American market."
- While previously pledging to ditch combustion engines by 2030, Volvo is doubling down on plug-in technology to support its transition toward pure electric models amid shifting market demand.
