Volvo has launched its first long-range plug-in hybrid models, delivering more range than ever before.
The brand has introduced new variants of the best-selling XC60 and XC90 SUVs. The new XC60 now delivers a claimed electric range of up to 200km on a single charge, with the XC90 said to now provide up to 160km.
According to Volvo, the electric range of the mid-size XC60 and large XC90 is now more than two and a half times as high as the existing plug-in hybrid variants. They benefit from a larger-capacity, floor-integrated battery and a more powerful electric motor, while the petrol engine can take over when needed.
Both cars also remain available as mild hybrids.
The XC60 has also been given a comprehensive design update, including an upgraded grille and redesigned front bumper, bonnet, front wings and new wheels.
Order books for the new XC60 and XC90, including the Black Edition, will open at the end of September, with production starting later this autumn.
