Recently, Volvo Cars' flagship model, the new XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid, ushered in a new upgrade, with a suggested retail price of 894,900 yuan. The new XC90 T8 has a new design for the core powertrain on the basis of maintaining the original stable atmosphere, luxurious and comfortable, and the new car has a longer pure electric driving range and a better pure electric driving experience, providing the elite and consumers who like to challenge new things with the best choice outside the BBA.
With the blessing of the new power battery, Volvo's new XC90 T8 battery capacity has been upgraded to 18.8kWh, and the pure electric cruising range has been increased to 59km. For everyday urban commuting, Volvo's new XC90 T8 can be used in pure electric mode. Taking the first-tier cities in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen with an average commuting distance of 9.3km as an example, even if only the pure electric mode is used to commute, it only takes 3 days to charge, and the cost of using the car is greatly compressed; occasional long-distance travel, it is free to convert to a hybrid model that can be replenished at any time, eliminating mileage anxiety.
It is worth mentioning that Volvo's new XC90 T8 with the intervention of the motor, the power response is more rapid, each smooth start brings a driving experience closer to the pure tram, driving comfort in all aspects. At the same time, the vehicle speed allowed by the deep throttle in pure electric mode is higher, the engine intervenes later under high-speed conditions, the NVH level of the cabin is greatly optimized, and the smooth power performance makes the driver and occupant feel more stable and quiet, and the driving texture is better.
Thanks to the increase in battery capacity and the renewal of the rear axle motor drive system, volvo's new XC90 T8 has been comprehensively improved, with the motor power increasing to 107 kW and the motor torque increasing to 309 N·m, with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a combined maximum power of 335 kW and a comprehensive peak torque of 709 N·m. The eye-catching power data also gives Volvo's new XC90 T8 a 5.5 seconds and zero hundred speeds.
The sharp increase in the torque of the rear axle motor solves the problem of power lag in the low-speed range of the turbocharged engine, and the power response is faster and the speed is more violent, whether it is a low-speed start, a climb, or a high-speed overtaking. The unique front oil and rear electric four-wheel drive structure, the revolutionary upgrade of the motor and battery also greatly improve the explosive power of the rear wheel, and the off-road limit and ability to get rid of difficulties are further strengthened.
Not only that, but volvo's new XC90 T8 can also be turned on in the "single pedal" mode under pure electric drive, which can be accelerated by pressing the throttle and easily braking when the throttle is released. When commuting to work in traffic jams, mountain road driving, etc., driving fatigue can be greatly reduced. In conjunction with the energy recovery system, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and stored. In this way, the car not only achieves the deceleration effect, but also recovers energy and improves the endurance of the car.
In addition to the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, the Volvo XC90 is the only medium and large luxury SUV that can be put on the table, and it is also one of the models preferred by some users who do not like to blindly follow and pursue exquisite life. Since the XC90 model first launched the T8 plug-in hybrid version, Volvo has insisted on iterative updates in technology, which also provides a guarantee for the continuous improvement of product strength. However, relatively speaking, consumers who can choose XC90 T8 are still a minority, and at a price of nearly 900,000, the BBA's 6-cylinder model is significantly more attractive.
