New Cars 2022 Overview Volvo S60 - Freedom to Move
Volvo Cars’ new and improved hybrid powertrain brings the all-electric range up to a projected 90 kilometres on a single charge. With the average premium car owner travelling less than 50 kilometres each weekday**, most Volvo drivers with home charging will be able do their daily motoring on pure electric power in a new Volvo plug-in hybrid.
The main improvements include a new long-range battery, featuring a third layer of cells to increase nominal energy from 11.6kWh to 18.8kWh, and a more powerful rear electric motor now delivering 145hp. The additional electric power results in a total combined output of 350hp for Recharge T6 and 455hp for Recharge T8 models, making the latter the most powerful Volvo cars ever produced. Besides the new powertrain, new upgrades include one-pedal drive on specific models.
