Volvo launches cleanest SUV in India

Say hello to the XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid – a more powerful yet cleaner and greener version of Volvo’s flagship SUV.

And the reason we are introducing it to you is because it has just gone on sale in India, carrying a price tag of ₹1.25 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi). Like the regular XC90, the plug-in hybrid version will also be brought into the country as a CBU. The Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid, as the same suggests, is headlined by a hybrid powertrain, which incorporates a turbo- and super-charged 2.0-litre, in-line four-cylinder petrol engine along with a 65kW electric motor. The hybrid system generates a maximum power output of 401bhp and 640Nm of peak-torque. Power transmission duties are carried out by an 8-speed automatic gearbox. However, the manner in which the power is transmitted to the wheels is a bit different.
