Earlier today, Volvo announced that the XC90 T8 Twin Engine was named the 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal.
The world's first seven passenger plug-in hybrid SUV, the XC90 features a 400-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo and supercharged engine, paired to an electric motor at the rear. The two power plants combine for an EPA-rated 53 mpg, making the XC90 the most powerful and efficient SUV. It has five driving modes for a range of performance and efficiency: Hybrid, Pure, Power, AWD, and Save.
“It is an honor to receive this award from Green Car Journal for the XC90 T8,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO, Volvo Car USA. “Volvo is committed to a vehicle electrification strategy that will make powerful and efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains available in more models, such as the S90 luxury sedan that goes on sale this year.”
