Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid Safety
Driver Assistance Technology
One thing that is common across most Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid reviews is praise for the vehicle's wide range of standard safety technologies. Every model comes with a number of safety features, including:
- Lane Keeping Aid
- Rain Sensor and Slippery Road Alert
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation system
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Information System and Cross-Traffic Alerts
- Road Sign Information system
These technologies will work hard to keep you and your loved ones safe on the streets in Daytona Beach, FL. The Lane Keeping Aid and Oncoming Lane Mitigation systems will help out if you start to drift out of your lane, while the Blind Spot Information System and the Road Sign Information system help you keep up with what's happening on the road. Adaptive Cruise Control makes highway driving easier by automatically adjusting your speed to match the vehicle ahead of you.
These features are not able to substitute for safe driving, but they can help you as you try to keep yourself and your passengers safe in your new luxury SUV. The new Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid for sale comes with an excellent suite of safety features that drivers are sure to appreciate.
Volvo Reliability
The Scandinavian roots of Volvo Cars are on full display when we consider the durability and longevity of the new Volvo XC90 Plug-in Hybrid SUV. Volvo vehicles are designed to run for thousands of miles without requiring major maintenance or repairs. You can rely on your new Volvo vehicle to serve you well for many years thanks to its practical design, provided you treat it well.
If you're looking for a three-row SUV, you may well have a handful of children. Once you've purchased your new Volvo SUV, you'll find that it's a safe and efficient vehicle. After a few years – or more than a decade – one of your kids could be ready to start driving, too. You may end up giving this car that they've grown up into your child as their first set of wheels. If you do, you'll be grateful that it's a safe and reliable automobile.
Park Assist
One of the more challenging aspects of driving a large SUV, like the new Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid for sale at our dealership in Orlando, FL, is parking the vehicle. Volvo Cars understands this and has included its advanced Park Assist technology on every version of the car. The Park Assist system alerts you when you're approaching an obstacle, such as a wall or another vehicle, by putting out a pulsing sound. As you get nearer to the obstacle, the pulse increases in intensity. This will help you get close to the car in the spot behind you without tapping it.
The Core model's version of Park Assist has sensors on the front and back of the vehicle. Upgrading to the Plus or Ultra trim gives you side sensors as well, which can be helpful if you're attempting maneuvers such as parallel parking – or backing into really tight spaces. The Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid parking assistance technology will prove helpful in the grocery store parking lot, at the airport, and anywhere else you're dealing with parking.
Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid Maintenance and Warranties
Volvo Warranty Information
When you purchase a new Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid for sale, it comes standard with a bumper-to-bumper new vehicle limited warranty that lasts for 50,000 miles on the road or four years, whichever comes first.7 This is extremely competitive warranty coverage when compared with the wider automotive industry. Once it runs out, Volvo Cars does not leave you in the lurch.
Your new Volvo SUV comes with corrosion protection that lasts 12 years without any mileage cap.7 Any rust-related damage to your vehicle is, therefore, covered for more than a decade after purchase. The vehicle also boasts a federal emissions warranty that runs for eight years or 80,000 miles on the road, whichever comes first.7 Your catalytic converter and other emissions-related parts are covered by this warranty.
Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance
The Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance program from Volvo Cars will see your first three maintenance visits handled free of charge, provided you schedule all of them within three years or 36,000 miles on the road, whichever comes first.8 Generally, these maintenance sessions happen at 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 miles. All new Volvo cars come with this excellent perk.
Purchasing a new Volvo vehicle outright may not be the right move for everyone. Our Volvo lease specials make it easier to get behind the wheel of a new luxury car without having to apply for a loan. Leasing is a great option for drivers in Daytona Beach, FL, who prefer to avoid some of the hassles of vehicle ownership.
You can find Volvo XC90 lease specials at our dealership that could make piloting a brand-new luxury Volvo vehicle more affordable.
Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid Competition
The new Volvo XC90 PHEV for sale is not the only plug-in hybrid SUV on the road today. We'll compare and contrast this sleek luxury SUV with some other similar cars. The Porsche Cayenne e-Hybrid is one example of such a vehicle. With estimates for the 2025 Porsche model not yet available, the 2024 model of this two-row plug-in hybrid SUV comes up short with 22 MPG (Combined)9 and an all-electric range of 29 miles.10
The next car we'll consider is the BMW X5 xDrive50e. This SUV does not have a third-row option on the PHEV model, whereas the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid comes standard with it. While both SUVs achieve the same MPGe ratings, the Volvo XC90 PHEV delivers significantly more torque and a larger maximum cargo capacity of 85.7 cubic feet compared to the BMW model's 71.2 cubic feet. Both vehicles come with excellent standard features like leather upholstery – we'll stick with the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid.
The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring is a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV, but like the BMW X5 xDrive50e, it only offers two rows and seating for up to five passengers. It also comes up short in the cargo capability department, only offering up to 56.2 cubic feet of space. In terms of performance, the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid offers over 100 more horsepower than the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring. While it offers slightly better MPGe than the Volvo XC90 PHEV, its smaller 11.1-gallon fuel tank, compared to the Volvo's 18.8-gallon capacity, means you'll need to stop to refuel more often.
The last vehicle we'll look at is the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. It's a two-row SUV, so it's already behind the ball. The vehicle does feature standard four-wheel drive, but folks who opt for the Volvo SUV also enjoy the standard Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid AWD. Its fuel economy rating comes close to the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid, but the Jeep SUV ultimately loses this matchup.
Thank you for reading about our new Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid for sale. Our dealership also offers used Volvo XC90 models for drivers in Daytona Beach, FL, to consider. Either way, we look forward to doing business with you soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid recharge while driving?
The Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC90 PHEV use a process called regenerative braking to recharge on the road. When a driver applies the brakes, the vehicle's motors spin in reverse, capturing some of the energy that is usually lost when slowing down and using it to recharge the battery. However, the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid still requires external charging for its powerful battery.
Is the Volvo XC90 a full hybrid?
The 2025 Volvo XC90 is available as a mild hybrid or as the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid. Both models offer excellent efficiency to drivers. The Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid has a more robust fuel economy rating than the mild hybrid model, but it does also require external charging. Volvo Cars leaves it to you to decide which way to go.
How long does charging take the Volvo XC90 Plug-in Hybrid?
You can typically recharge your Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid battery from 0 percent to 100 percent in five hours on a 240-volt 16A connection, which may be available already in your home.11 Since you typically won't use all of the battery charge in a single driving session, your vehicle will probably just require a couple of hours of juice.
Does the Volvo XC90 have two batteries?
Yes, the Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC90 PHEV have two battery options available. The Volvo XC90 uses a 48-volt mild hybrid system to support its internal combustion engine, while the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid boasts an 18.8-kWh battery with two joined motors.
