How is the Volvo XC90 T8 Hybrid?
2 Answers
Here are the detailed specifications of the Volvo XC90 T8 Hybrid: 1. Engine: The new XC90 T8 is equipped with a T6 gasoline engine. The application of twin-charging technology enables this 2.0L displacement engine to deliver an impressive 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque, with outstanding performance data. 2. Transmission: Paired with the T6 gasoline engine is an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF, which is considered a star product among 8-speed automatic transmissions. 3. Battery: The power battery uses the currently most mainstream lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 9.2kWh. With this battery, the XC90 T8 can achieve a maximum pure electric range of 41km. 4. Other aspects: Apart from the addition of the electric motor and battery, the chassis of the entire XC90 T8 is not much different from the standard version of the XC90, with the front suspension adopting a double-wishbone design.
I've been driving the Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid for almost a year now, mainly as a family commuter car. The space is super large, with three rows of seats that are enough for a family of five, and kids' stuff can be easily stuffed into the trunk. The hybrid system is particularly quiet in the city, almost no noise in pure electric mode, with smooth and steady acceleration. The pure electric range is about 40 kilometers, which means dropping off and picking up kids from school barely consumes any fuel. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages less than 6 liters per 100 kilometers, much more efficient than the pure gasoline version. The safety system is a highlight; the automatic braking and lane-keeping features have saved me a few times. The downside is that the car body is too large, making parking in tight spots a bit troublesome, and charging is only convenient if you have a home charging station. Overall, it's very satisfactory for family use.
