Volvo safety, luxury and design in a powerful package.
You don’t have to sacrifice what you love about Volvo for more power. Our T8 eAWD powertrain pairs an efficient turbocharged 4-cylinder gas engine with a rear electric motor to deliver an exhilarating PHEV drive every day.
Electric cars with a backup plan
We want to create a confident and seamless transition to the fully electric future of driving. So, we designed our plug-in hybrids to offer enough electric range to power your daily commute and city driving.
Power on command
Our next-generation powertrains deliver powerful, responsive handling with smooth, quiet acceleration. The added capacity of a high-performance gas engine gives you rapid, strong acceleration when you need it.
One Pedal Drive
Smoothly navigate stop-and-go traffic with One Pedal Drive. This lets you accelerate and brake just by applying and releasing pressure on the accelerator pedal. Your car will then convert the kinetic energy generated from braking into battery power.
Five exciting driving modes for every journey.
HYBRID
Hybrid mode is your everyday driving mode. Your Volvo Plug-in hybrid will utilize both the engine and battery/electric motor as needed in normal driving.
POWER
Power mode uses the full might of total system power and constant all- wheel-drive. You’ll also experience quicker shifts and steering.
CONSTANT AWD
Constant AWD mode pairs the mannerisms of Hybrid mode and drive to all four wheels. This is perfect for everyday driving in inclement weather.
PURE
Pure mode leverages your Volvo Plug-in hybrid’s battery and rear electric motor to offer fully electric driving, with up to 41 miles of range in certain models.
OFF ROAD
Off Road mode is available on XC60 and XC90 Plug-in hybrids and orients powertrain systems for efficient off-road driving.

We want your hybrid car to fit in seamlessly with your daily routine, so we've evolved our range of battery features to make charging simpler, faster, and easier.
Volvo chargingSchedule your plug-in hybrid to charge overnight so it’s ready for you in the morning. Our next-generation batteries can replenish their energy to 100 % in as little as five hours with our 3.7kW 1-phase onboard charger.*
Charge at home, at work or on a road trip. With over 160,000 charging stations across the United States,** it's easier than ever to own a plug-in hybrid. Simply use the Volvo Cars app or Google Assistant to find a charging point location near you.
Boost your battery range and fuel economy as you drive with regenerative braking. We've engineered our electric motors and energy-dense batteries so you can get an extra charge from the energy created and stored when you brake.
