By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Volvo is significantly upgrading its XC60 and XC90 plug-in hybrid SUVs for 2028, more than doubling their all-electric range. The XC60 will offer 78 miles of electric-only driving and a total range of 590 miles, while the XC90 will provide 73 miles of electric range and 560 miles total. These enhancements are achieved through a larger 41.2 kWh battery pack, while maintaining the existing 455 horsepower powertrain. The vehicles also feature updated safety systems with new sensors and processors, including a lane-change assist function, and will support over-the-air updates. AI

IMPACT Enhances in-car AI integration and driver assistance systems, potentially improving user experience and safety.
