Volvo Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Near Hoffman Estates
The Volvo plug-in hybrid lineup is more diverse than ever, with this versatile powertrain being offered in every segment of our new vehicle family.
The Volvo B8 Recharge plug-in hybrid power unit starts with a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and pairs it with an 87-horsepower electric motor that can be operated in tandem or on its own. Combined, the system delivers 455 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque, with the combustion engine powering the front wheels and the electric motor sending power to the rear wheels. This means that you get all-wheel drive when the motors are used together, giving you the confidence you need to handle whatever weather Palatine, IL has to deal with.
On its own, the electric motor can take you up to 41 miles on a single charge, while regenerative braking can help recover some battery energy as you travel along. And when you need to go further, the combustion engine is good for 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque so you'll have plenty of power to keep things moving.
Volvo models with the B8 Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain include:
- Volvo S60 sedan
- Volvo S90 sedan
- Volvo V60 wagon
- Volvo XC60 SUV
- Volvo XC90 three-row SUV
Whether you want a sport sedan, luxurious SUV, or versatile wagon, you can have it with the advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain with all-wheel drive and improved fuel economy.
Volvo EVs
There are two all-electric models in the new Volvo fleet as well, both sharing the same great electric powertrain for a simplified shopping experience. These EVs push out 402 horsepower and 554 pound-feet of torque through an all-wheel drive system, giving you impressive performance and the capability to handle whatever comes next. You can even tow up to 2,000 pounds with the new Volvo XC40 Recharge, so you can enjoy a weekend camping trip or family vacation with some extra toys in tow.
Range tops 200 miles with both models, with the lighter C40 crossover getting you over 220 miles on a single charge. You can recover from 10 to 80 percent battery capacity in just 30 minutes on a public fast charger, getting you back on the road for up to five hours of drive time in the time it takes to grab lunch and a coffee.
The smaller Volvo C40 gives you a more sporty drive, with the sloping roofline lowering the center of gravity for improved handling. And with the Volvo XC40 Recharge, you'll get both a spacious cabin, rear cargo area, and front trunk for the ultimate road-trip EV.
