Volvo this spring began taking reservations from U.S. buyers for its first global plug-in vehicle, the XC90 T8 SUV. The car will begin deliveries in North America sometime in the fall. In the U.S., the XC90 is the first Volvo model to get a plug-in variant, although future editions of the S90 full-size SUV and XC60 crossover are expected in the next few years. In fact, Volvo will gradually add plug-in hybrid variants to its entire lineup—eventually offering plugs for all its vehicles as soon as 2020. By that time, the company expects that electrified models will account for 10 percent of its global sales.
The T8 is a seven-seat luxury plug-in hybrid SUV with an all-electric range of 17 miles and an estimated 59 MPGe efficiency rating. The XC90 also boasts an impressive 400 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque—making it competitive with its German rivals. It starts at about $69,000 before a $4,600 federal tax credit.
