With its Volvo XC60 Recharge, Volvo XC90 Recharge, and Volvo XC40 Recharge fully-electric options, Volvo has both plug-in hybrid and electric luxury vehicle options to offer you. Let's take a look at what sets each option apart.

Plug-in hybrid Volvo vehicles

Plug-in hybrid Volvo vehicles include the Volvo XC60 Recharge and the Volvo XC90 Recharge. These vehicles feature both a gas engine as well as an electric motor which is powered by a battery. The battery has enough capacity to power the electric motor exclusively over a period of about 30 km. That means that if you are driving within a short distance of your destination, you can get there without using a single drop of fuel. This definitely improves fuel economy and can be useful if you drive a short distance to work or you simply want a luxurious SUV that doesn't require you to worry about range but does provide exceptional fuel consumption.

Electric Volvo vehicles

The new 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge offers 358 km of range. It is a fully electric luxury small SUV that does not require any fuel. That means that when you buy a Volvo XC40 Recharge, you will never have to worry about the price of gas again. It also delivers exceptional performance and all of the benefits of a traditional Volvo XC40 when it comes to versatility. If you are ready to go fully electric and want a luxury SUV that offers an exceptional combination of performance, efficiency, safety, refinement, and luxury, the all-new Volvo XC40 Recharge will be perfect for you.
