A more efficient engine lineup
The Volvo SUV lineup gets a revamped powertrain lineup which was first introduced this year. A new generation of B4 and B5 engines will be available in the Volvo XC40, while the Volvo XC90 gets the new B5 and B6 engines, which were first introduced in the Volvo XC60 in 2022.
With their mild hybrid system, these engines provide better efficiency, ensuring the highest level of performance while also reducing the strain placed on the gas engine when starting or when accelerating. The end result is a gain in performance with improved efficiency.

For the XC60 Recharge and XC90 Recharge, these engines are paired with a more powerful battery, resulting in double the all-electric range. You can do the majority of your daily commute without even needing a drop of fuel with both models, which offer nearly 60 km of all-electric range. In addition, Volvo PHEV Recharge models now offer one-pedal driving.
