Volvo XC60 Mild Hybrid System

Volvo Mild Hybrid Technology & Benefits

Sometimes referred to as MHEV, a mild hybrid electric vehicle features a combination of both an internal combustion engine along with an integrated starter generator (ISG) and an electric motor to boost performance and efficiency. Using what's known as regenerative braking, the system can recapture energy normally lost during braking and store it within an onboard 48-volt battery for use at a later time. This electric energy provides an exhilarating boost while accelerating and helps to boost fuel economy as well. All Volvo models now come standard with a mild hybrid system. Some benefits of this cutting-edge system are listed below.

Environmentally Friendly

Driving a Volvo mild hybrid vehicle means that you're helping to reduce emissions and help the environment through economical driving. It's all part of the Volvo commitment to improving efficiency and fostering sustainability.

Invigorating Performance

From behind the wheel, you'll instantly notice the electric boost of power that comes from driving a Volvo mild hybrid. From a dead stop, the electrified acceleration helps you get up to speed quicker. Around town, both you and your passengers will appreciate the smooth power delivery characteristics that contribute to a composed ride at all speeds.

No Range/Charging Anxiety

Not quite ready to make the switch to a pure electric model? Mild hybrid variants eliminate any need to worry about charging your vehicle or stressing about how much electric range you have remaining. You simply drive your vehicle just like you normally would.

Other Volvo Electrified Options

By far the most fuel-efficient of the Volvo gasoline drivetrains is the T8, a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that delivers an incredible 455 horsepower to go with all of that efficiency. But if you want to stop using gasoline entirely, Volvo has a whole line of pure electric vehicles that are as stylish and advanced as you would expect from Volvo. These are Volvo's EV models, along with their range ratings:

  • EX90 - 310 miles
  • EC40 - 297 miles
