Incrementally updated two years ago, the plug-in hybrid flagship Volvo XC90 has been revised further, albeit only on the tech front.
Ageing seven-seater Volvo XC90 presents a better package than ever before, yet will continue to appease a select few.XC90 has been around, in its current second generation guise since 2015 and somewhat surprisingly, hasn’t received any massive external changes since then.In truth, this doesn’t come as a surprise as the original lasted for 12 years with only minor changes, plus an additional two if you include China where it was sold briefly alongside its successor as the XC90 Classic.
Decked-out in a new colour called Vapour Grey Metallic, the XC90 T8 Recharge Ultimate Dark’s arrival couldn’t have been more highly awaited, especially since it will eventually be replaced in some market from next year by the all-new, all-electric EX90.As subjective as styling is, the XC90’s Iron Mask aesthetic and T-shaped Thor’s Hammer LED headlights remains a visual standout that belies its almost decade old age.
Whether the result of the new operating or not, the result is that the new software’s integration and layout rates as a step-down on the old Sensus Connect. With the second and third rows fully lowered, the XC90’s boot offers a total capacity of 1 816 litres. While use of the Hybrid and Hold settings occurred throughout the latter stages of the XC90’s stay, a fair chunk also involved the Pure most buyers will opt for.Being a plug-in hybrid means the XC90 doesn’t support rapid DC charging and as such, can only be topped-up using a household socket, or by an AC charger using the provided 22 kW outlet.
While extendable via brake regeneration, will require a lot to make it a more viable “long-distance” commuter before the petrol engine cuts in.
