Volvo has been a leading luxury automaker in the field of electrification for years now. There are multiple electrified luxury vehicles in the Volvo lineup, and we thought we would look at the advantages of choosing an electrified Volvo vehicle over a traditional gas-powered model.
No compromise on the features that you want
We will start by looking at the fact that Volvo plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles require no compromise over their traditional gas-powered equivalent. We often hear the plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles have less cargo capacity, for example, but that is not the case with a Volvo XC40 Recharge, Volvo XC60 Recharge, or XC90 Recharge. You get very similar cargo volume and interior spared compared to the gas-powered equivalent. You also get the same safety technologies, the same features, and the same comfort and refinement, but you also get impressive advantages in terms of overall efficiency and overall performance.
Better fuel economy or no fuel consumption at all
The Volvo XC60 Recharge and Volvo XC90 Recharge models offer much better fuel economy ratings compared to their traditional gas equivalent. That's because they offer a 11.6 kWh battery as well has an electric motor which can be used to assist the turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine to which it is paired. The end result is better fuel economy and better overall efficiency without sacrificing the performance. Moreover, Volvo plug-in hybrid sport utility vehicles can travel about 30 km on all electric power. This means that for a portion of your commute or for the total commute you are not using a single drop of fuel. You can see how this could improve the fuel economy over time.
As for the Volvo XC40 Recharge, it is fully electric. That means that you never have to put gas in the vehicle, and you have 358 km of all electric range which is enough to go just about anywhere. And with quick charging capability, you can quickly charge the Volvo XC40 Recharge and get back on the road if you have to do a longer trip.
Not only are Volvo XC Recharge models more efficient, but they are also more powerful.

As for the Volvo XC60 Recharge and Volvo XC90 Recharge, they offer 400 hp which is more than what any Volvo SUV offers with just a gas engine.
