Our Twin Engine cars deliver one of the most powerful and yet most fuel-efficient driving experiences available today. A no-compromise combination of pure battery electric power and an efficient petrol engine give new meaning to the word flexibility and a driving experience you won’t forget. Volvo Cars’ plug-in hybrid Twin Engine technology has been added to every new model we have launched since 2014.
We’ve engineered our Twin Engine plug-in hybrid models to meet the discerning needs of our drivers. With a range of drive modes to choose from you will glide through your day in Pure mode, zoom through it in Power mode, or maximise efficiency with Hybrid mode.
In Pure mode your car uses only electric power. A fully charged battery will enable many people the possibility to commute to and from work every day in Pure mode, thereby eliminating emissions and saving on fuel costs.
In Hybrid mode your Twin Engine model uses the electric motor and the internal combustion engine to best effect, maximizing efficiency while minimizing emissions. Hybrid mode is optimal for most driving conditions.
When the desire for a more sporty driving experience strikes you, choose Power mode. It combines the power of the electric motor and the combustion engine to deliver a truly high-performance driving experience.
There has never been a better time to switch to electric mobility. Our cars are designed with you in mind for an easier and more enjoyable everyday experience.
Electrification is at the heart of Volvo Cars’ vision to combine effortless performance with incredible efficiency. The all-new T8 Twin Engine system is ready for the future, today.
Our plug-in hybrid Twin Engine models offer a range of drive modes to suit every occasion - from full Power mode, Pure electric mode and the balanced Hybrid mode.
