Plug in to uncompromised performance.
Volvo plug-in hybrid cars offer a more refined drive without compromise. We’ve combined an enhanced electric motor for everyday city driving with a high-performance combustion engine for longer trips and extra power when you need it.
Long electric range
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 petrol engine gives you rapid, strong acceleration when you need it.
True 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 modes to tailor your drive.
Switch between drive modes at the touch of a button. The electric motor and petrol engine are designed to work together in perfect harmony for seamless hybrid performance.
Pure
Electrify your everyday commute by driving in Pure mode. You’ll get a smoother, quieter drive with zero tailpipe emissions.
Hybrid
Settle into Hybrid mode, and your car will use both the electric motor and internal combustion engine. Get top performance, electric range, fuel efficiency and comfort without a second thought.
Power
Shift into Power mode for sporty driving with a faster acceleration response. The electric motor and petrol engine work in combination for maximum performance and driving stability.
AWD
Engage AWD mode when driving in slippery conditions or towing a high payload to gain extra traction and stability. We’ve developed a more powerful rear electric motor and improved the AWD characteristics designed to give you more confidence on the road.
Off Road
Activate Off Road mode in challenging road conditions below 40km/h. This helps you stay in control by optimizing acceleration, steering and transmission with locked AWD and Hill Descent Control. This is applicable for XC models only.
Schedule 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.*
Pre-set comfort
Choose the interior cabin climate as the battery charges, and your car will adjust to that temperature by the time you’re ready to go. Pre-climatisation while charging also improves the battery performance on the road.
Charge on the go
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.
Smarter charging. Powering the everyday.
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.
*Charging times can vary and are dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.
Designed for effortless efficiency.
Reduced tailpipe emissions
Access a more considerate drive with the combined long-range electric battery and fuel-efficient gas engine delivering reduced CO₂ emissions compared to gas-powered equivalents.
Optimize for the journey ahead
Set your destination in the navigation system for longer trips in Hybrid mode, and the car will use both the electric motor and gas engine in the most energy-efficient way for your selected route.
Cost-efficient charging
Where applicable, plug in and schedule overnight charging at home through the Volvo Cars app to take advantage of lower energy rates and help reduce your running costs.
