Park the Most Awarded SUV of the Century in Your Driveway

The Volvo brand has more than earned its reputation for automotive safety over the past nine decades. Devoted to decreasing traffic incidences and providing drivers with easy ways to stay safe during their travels, it is no wonder why more people trust Volvo when it comes to in-vehicle safety than any other automotive brand. Aside from Volvo’s dedication to safety, the brand is also committed to providing buyers with luxury cars and SUVs that they can be proud to own. Volvo cars and SUVs aren’t simply a way to get from one destination to the next, for most drivers, they are the destination. 

Most Awarded SUV of the Century

3Touted as the pinnacle of modern Scandinavian luxury, the brand new XC90 is a true force that even mainstream brands find themselves having to reckon with. With an MSRP starting at just $45,750, it is no wonder why even names like Jeep, Ford, and Chevrolet are scrambling to compete. When owning the most awarded SUV of the century from a brand known for luxury and safety is so affordable, why would a car shopper settle for a measly Chevy Tahoe or a Jeep Grand Cherokee? An automotive brand that is still one of the most highly regarded in the industry, Volvo has once again exceeded all previous expectations with the new XC90. The Volvo XC90 has earned the most coveted title of SUV of the Year from Motor Trend, along with a slew of others that are giving drivers major pause when it comes to purchasing any other vehicle in this particular segment. The icing on this sport utility cake, is the highest possible safety ranking from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. While we aren’t going to feign surprise over this particular award, we have to at least mention it as a point that Volvo worked very hard to attain.

Now Volvo is Just Showing Off…

As if the XC90 SUV was not enough of a powerhouse in the Volvo lineup, the Swedish automaker one-upped itself by creating the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid. Saying that this SUV is impressive, is a punch in the gut for the outstanding engineers that crafted this meticulous automotive marvel. Impressive does not even begin to translate the sheer power and magnificence that is the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid.

For starters, this luxurious sport utility vehicle is as stunning visually as it is capable. While most hybrids get major props for high fuel economy numbers, but lose out on points when it comes to power and performance – the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid is not “most hybrids.” The powerful twin engine delivers a heart-pounding 400 horsepower rating, along with 472 lb.-ft. of unstoppable torque. All of this power is not meant to serve as a sacrifice in the fuel efficiency realm, which is doing just fine with an EPA-estimated 54 miles to the gallon on the highway, and 53 miles per gallon in the city. With room for up to seven passengers, the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid is surely on the “watch” list for several competitors in this luxury high-end segment. With a starting MSRP of $68,100, this Volvo SUV is still well within reach of many car shoppers, especially once all government incentives and tax breaks are accounted for.

Other hybrid vehicles are limited not only when it comes to power, but also in regards to versatility. With the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid, drivers can opt for driving in whichever mode best suits their situation. The electric-only mode, for example, allows drivers to travel at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour, and go about their daily routine without the use of gasoline. At the end of the day, the battery can be fully charged in as little as four hours, giving it ample time to prepare for the next day’s commute. The XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid’s Hybrid mode, automatically goes between gas and electric power, depending on driving conditions and habits. This seamless application of pure power at a reduced rate of fuel consumption, is what makes this luxury SUV a true catalyst for the future of automotive innovation. For those who live in areas of the United States with unpredictable weather, the XC90 T8 offers an all-wheel-drive mode that ensures proper performance regardless of Mother Nature.

The power, versatility, and exceptional fuel economy of the new XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid is everything Volvo drivers hope for and have come to expect. With luxury interior amenities like a gear stick made entirely out of Orrefors crystal glass, your XC90 is guaranteed to be as unique as you are.
