Compare Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid in Tarpon Springs

While we don't expect gasoline to leave the automotive space anytime soon, one thing is certain, that its days as the predominant power source are numbered. Volvo has been a trailblazer in the field of electric powertrains since the '70s when it built the all-electric Elbil concept city car. Today, Volvo's commitment to a more sustainable future is more robust than ever. And as more and more Palm Harbor and Dunedin drivers seek alternatives to the traditional combustion-only engine, Volvo remains at the forefront of innovation with superlative models like the XC90 Recharge luxury SUV.

Lauded by critics and loved by families, the XC90 blends premium accommodations, cutting-edge technology, and compelling design. And while other luxury hybrids, like the BMW X5, Lincoln Aviator, and Lexus 450h, may reserve some advanced driver-assistance features for the upper trims, the XC90 comes with a full suite of IntelliSafe technologies on every model, including:

  • Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving with available navigation integration/li>
  • Collision Mitigation Support, front and rear
  • Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Lane Keeping Aid
  • Road Sign Information
  • Run-off Road Mitigation
  • Oncoming Lane Mitigation
  • Park Assist, front and rear

Recharged for a Brighter, Safer Future

Volvo's commitment to responsible luxury is exemplified in its goal of carbon neutrality by 2040. Today, Volvo is the only traditional carmaker to offer a plug-in hybrid version for each of its models. By 2025, Volvo endeavors to make half of its lineup fully electric and the other half hybrid. And with models like the XC90 Recharge, the company is well on its way.

Propulsion for the XC90 Recharge comes from a turbo and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a lithium-ion-powered rear-axle motor, sending 400 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Multiple drive modes provide precise powertrain control, allowing you to switch from thrilling performance to emissions-free commuting with the turn of a dial. Select Hybrid mode for an optimal blend of performance and efficiency and greater combined gas+electric range than the BMW X5, Lincoln Aviator, and Lexus 450h. Or choose Power to take the reins of the powertrain's full output. Pure mode allows you to enjoy quiet, zero-emissions travel, and Off-Road mode delivers improved traction and stability away from the asphalt.
