The Volvo XC90 Recharge is a radical departure from the classic square Volvo of past decades. In fact, toss out everything you know about Volvo—except its reputation for safety and practicality— before acquainting yourself with the XC90 Recharge.

The Volvo XC90 Recharge is exciting and powerful, sporting a “twin engine” that powers its front wheels with gas and its rear wheels with electricity. With impressive specs including 455 horsepower, 523 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of 5 seconds, Volvo has packed this hybrid SUV with an unprecedented punch.

The XC90 Recharge’s brawn is paired with an entirely new level of beauty. Its interior is Volvo’s most luxurious to date. Natural grain wood and Nappa leather accent classy interior panels and bezels. A large Sensus touchscreen, equipped with GPS navigation and Apple CarPlay, fills the center console. Apple’s Siri reads text messages aloud and enables voice operation of the vehicle’s phone and music system. An optional 19-speaker, 1,400-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system offers inspiring high fidelity.

With the XC90 Recharge, Volvo has transformed itself from a mild-mannered Swedish automaker into a bona fide luxury performance SUV competitor.
