Powertrain Engineering and Hybrid Performance
The 2025 Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid is built around a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with electric motors. This system produces a combined output of 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque. The combustion engine itself generates a maximum of 312 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, while the electric motor contributes up to 143 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. Together, they create a smooth balance of power delivery designed for all driving conditions.
The model uses an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with Start/Stop and Adaptive Shift technology. This transmission ensures efficient gear selection under varying loads and terrain, supporting both fuel economy and responsiveness. Standard all-wheel drive provides consistent traction across road surfaces and weather conditions.
The 2025 Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 58 MPGe with a pure electric driving range of approximately 32 miles. This range allows for short-distance commuting without engaging the gasoline engine while providing extended capability through hybrid operation. The 18.8-gallon fuel tank and charging support through 120V and 240V cables add flexibility to energy management.
