Order books have opened in the UK for the new Volvo XC90, which now includes a T8 Long Range plug-in hybrid alongside the B5 petrol Mild hybrid. The seven-seat family SUV builds on its latest design update and adds Google Gemini to its list of technology.
XC90 T8 Long Range powertrain and performance
The new plug-in hybrid delivers up to 101 miles of electric range, more than double that of the previous version, allowing more everyday journeys on electric power while keeping a petrol engine for longer trips. Combined, its petrol and electric motors produce 461hp, enough for 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds. Range figures are preliminary and based on WLTP testing.
The B5 petrol Mild hybrid produces 250hp. Both powertrains use all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, and both can tow up to 2,400kg braked.
Cabin, Google Gemini and safety features
Inside, the cabin uses natural materials and an 11.2-inch centre touchscreen running Volvo’s latest user interface. Upholstery choices, depending on specification, include quilted Nordico and ventilated Nappa soft leather.
Google Gemini, the conversational AI assistant, lets drivers plan journeys, find places to stop and manage messages using natural language. Over-the-air updates will continue to add to the software over time. Standard safety equipment covers Pilot Assist, adaptive cruise control, Blind Spot Information System with Steer Assist, City Safety with automatic braking and automatic Matrix LED headlights with adaptive shadow technology.
XC90 prices and trim levels in the UK
UK buyers can choose from Core, Plus, Plus Pro, Ultra and Ultra Pro trim levels with either powertrain, plus Black Edition variants. These get gloss black detailing, 21-inch black alloy wheels and Onyx Black paint.
On-the-road prices start at £66 270 for the B5 Mild hybrid in Core specification and £75 765 for the T8 Long Range plug-in hybrid. The B5 Plus Pro Black Edition costs from £74 270, with the T8 Long Range equivalent from £83 765. Further details are available from Volvo Car UK.
