I had a great experience with Ernest in the purchase of my XC60. He was patient, professional, and knowledgeable about the product. I highly recommend. In addition, the Assistant Manager, Mo, was great as well.
Volvo EV & Plug-In Hybrid SUV Models: Comparison Specs
For those seeking to embrace the future while enjoying the best of the present, the lineup of Volvo EV and PHEV models offers an impressive selection of sophisticated new SUVs. But how do you determine which one best fits your lifestyle? Would a plug-in hybrid serve you better than a fully electric model? And what other types of Volvo hybrid vehicles are there? Discover the answers and explore the current lineup with this guide from DARCARS Volvo Cars in Rockville, MD!
Volvo Plug-In Hybrid vs. All-Electric SUVs: Which is Right for You?
Both Volvo plug-in hybrid and all-electric SUVs herald a more eco-friendly industry, offering the ability to drive solely on electric power. For example, the Volvo EX40 has up to 296 miles of electric range, while the Volvo XC60 PHEV offers 35 miles of electric range.
However, the key difference is that the Volvo XC60 PHEV also has a gasoline engine and an 18.8-gallon gas tank. Once its electric range is depleted, the gas engine takes over seamlessly. When it's time to refuel, you can stop at a gas station and fill it like a traditional car.
All Volvo electric vehicles are designed for long-distance travel. Alongside the aforementioned Volvo EX40, the Volvo EX30 and its 261 miles of maximum range and the Volvo EX90 with up to 305 miles of range easily cover most commutes multiple times before needing to recharge.
When it's time to power up, Volvo EV models can be charged from 10% to 80% in under half an hour at a DC fast-charging station. Additionally, a full battery charge costs significantly less than a full tank of gas.
In short, the balanced nature of a Volvo plug-in hybrid SUV provides a great solution for those who want electric driving capability combined with the convenience of a gasoline backup plan for road trips or extended errands. On the other hand, Volvo EV models are an everyday-capable choice for drivers ready to leave gas behind and fully step into the future.
What Is a Mild Hybrid?
The answer to "Does the Volvo lineup include a hybrid SUV?" is that every Volvo SUV is either a hybrid or an EV. While only two Volvo hybrid models are plug-in hybrids, the others are mild-hybrid SUVs.
This type of Volvo hybrid SUV is not capable of pure-electric driving; instead, its electric motor assists the gasoline engine to improve fuel efficiency and smoothness. To decide whether you want a mild hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, or fully electric model, we can help you compare all new Volvo vehicles in person at DARCARS Volvo Cars.
