As you can see, models like the Volvo XC60 T8 all-wheel drive Recharge and Volvo XC 90 T8 all-wheel drive Recharge now offer nearly 60 km of range, nearly doubling the range they offered in the previous models.
The other significant improvement with Volvo plug-in hybrid vehicles this year is the increased performance. The rear electric motor now delivers 143 hp compared to 87 hp in the previous generation. That means a total output is now 455 hp, an increase of 55 compared to previous models. These models continue to be the most powerful in their respective segments but they are also the most powerful ever built by Volvo.
Other significant improvements made to 2022 Volvo Recharge models include the addition of one pedal driving functionality, something that we normally only see on electric vehicles. Using one pedal driving, you can control accelerations and deceleration's using only the accelerator.
