Volvo refreshes its popular XC60 and XC90 plug-in hybrid models for 2028 with revised styling and upgraded powertrains that increase electric-only driving range. The updates include exterior changes described by outlets as a sharper, more refined front end, alongside larger batteries for both vehicles.
Reports agree that the XC60 PHEV’s battery capacity increases significantly, with at least one outlet stating the electric-only range rises to nearly 78 miles, while another notes the XC60 sees a meaningful improvement in its enhanced plug-in hybrid setup. For the XC90 T8 PHEV, another outlet reports a larger increase in EV range, with the electric-only distance cited as about 73 miles—around 40 miles more than the previous version.
Outlets also differ slightly on performance details. One report for the XC90 T8 PHEV mentions a 0–60 mph time of about 4.9 seconds, while coverage of the XC60 focuses more on the facelift and the larger claimed EV-only range. Across the articles, the main common point is that both models receive battery upgrades aimed at extending electric driving.
