2015 Volvo XC90: Petrol, Diesel, ‘T8 Twin Engine’ Plug-in Hybrid Detailed

Volvo has shed more light this week on its big new XC90 SUV’s powertrain line-up, including the new ‘T8 Twin Engine’ system.

Sitting at the top of the exclusively four-cylinder XC90 line-up, the T8 pairs a turbo- and supercharged 2.0 litre Drive-E petrol engine with a 60kW electric motor.

With the petrol engine motivating the front wheels and the electric motor sending power to the rear, the T8’s plug-in hybrid system will offer a combined 298kW and 640Nm of torque.
