The XC60 T8 now comes equipped with a 37.9 kWh usable (41.2 kWh gross) battery pack, delivering an EPA‑rated electric range of 78 miles (125 km). Volvo notes this capacity covers roughly three days of typical driving, given that the average U.S. Volvo driver logs about 22 miles (35 km) round‑trip each day. When combined with a full gasoline tank, the plug‑in hybrid can travel up to 590 miles (949 km) before needing to refuel or recharge.
Another notable development is that Volvo will begin assembling the XC60 T8 at its South Carolina facility alongside the existing line in Sweden. Given the United States’ significance as a market for the XC60 and prevailing tariff pressures, local production offers a strategic advantage.
The XC90 Also Receives Updates
Although the three‑row XC90 has already undergone a recent refresh and therefore sees fewer styling changes than the XC40 and XC60, Volvo has not overlooked it. The XC90 inherits the same Gemini‑powered infotainment system on its 11.2‑inch display introduced in the earlier update. Moreover, the XC90 T8 plug‑in hybrid receives the enlarged 37.9 kWh usable battery, providing an EPA‑estimated all‑electric range of 73 miles (117 km).
Håkan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars, commented, “The XC60 remains our all‑time bestseller, while the XC90 launched our premium lineup. As long‑range plug‑in hybrids, they build on those legacies and, alongside the all‑electric EX60, constitute our most powerful electrified offering in the midsize SUV segment—offering every customer a pathway to full electrification.”
