Volvo launches most powerful XC90 in South Africa

March 18, 2022 By Rokkit

Volvo has launched the all-new Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge plug-in hybrid in South Africa with prices starting at R1 560 100. The seven-seater SUV will be offered in two different trim levels – Inscription and R-Design.

Earlier this year Volvo also launched the electric XC40 P8 Recharge and the plug-in hybrid XC60 T8 Recharge, making the XC90 Volvo’s third electrified vehicle to be released. This falls in line with Volvo’s aim to be a fully electrified car brand by 2030.

The Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge is powered by a 2.0-litre supercharged and turbocharged petrol-hybrid engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The engine has an output of 233kW. This is then combined with an electric motor in the rear of the car that generates 107kW. This gives a total output of 340kW and 709Nm from the two powertrains combined. This makes it the most powerful XC90 Volvo has ever made.

The electric motor’s output is applied to the SUV’s rear-wheels, improving the vehicle’s performance and all-wheel drive capabilities. Acceleration is also improved, giving this XC90 a 0-100km/h time of 5.3 seconds.

The electric motor provides a range of 77km, which Volvo says should be more than enough for most local drivers to do their daily motoring on electric power alone. Meanwhile, combined fuel consumption for the SUV is rated at 7.2l/100km.

Pricing for the Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge is as follows:
• Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge Twin Engine AWD R-Design – R1 560 100.00
• Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge Twin Engine AWD Inscription – R1 560 600.00

This includes a 5-year/100 000km warranty, a 5-year roadside assistance plan and an 8-year/160 000km battery warranty.
