Volvo has announced the launch of a new plug in hybrid, the Volvo XC40 T5 Twin Engine, the car maker now offers a plug in hybrid option across its whole model range.
The Volvo XC40 T5 Twin Engine is powered by a 1.5 litre petrol engine and an electric motor which combined produce 262 horsepower.
The T5 Twin Engine marries Volvo’s efficient new 1.5-litre three-cylinder 180hp petrol engine with an 82hp electric motor in a hybrid system that delivers 262hp, making it the most powerful powertrain in the XC40 range. This power is balanced with strong environmental credentials: preliminary WLTP figures for CO2 emissions are from just 38g/km (where 19-inch wheels are specified), while combined cycle fuel consumption is expected to be up to 141.1mpg.
The compact, energy-dense lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 10.7kWh, enabling exhaust emissions-free electric-only driving of up to 28.6 miles (provisional data), according to driving conditions and battery charge levels.
