Key Features of the 2026 Volvo XC90 Plug-in Hybrid

eAWD Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain

The drivetrain pairs a sophisticated gasoline engine with an electric motor to provide strong, seamless power and confident eAWD traction. In EV mode, the XC90 Plug-in Hybrid can run on electric power for everyday errands or school drop-offs. In Hybrid mode, the system optimizes efficiency and performance for mixed driving. Regenerative braking helps recover energy when you slow, and drive modes let you tailor response for relaxed commuting or more engaging mountain-road drives. The result is everyday electric convenience without range anxiety—perfect for Colorado’s varied terrain and shifting weather.

Google built-in

With Google built-in, the XC90 Plug-in Hybrid integrates navigation, voice assistance, and apps directly into the vehicle. Use Google Maps for clear, real-time routing and EV-friendly guidance, ask Google Assistant for hands-free help with calls and messages, and find entertainment through Google Play. Because these services are integrated, you get a clean interface, quick responses, and simple voice control. Over-the-air software updates help keep features current. Whether you are navigating to a new trailhead or the weeknight grocery run, the experience is as intuitive as your favorite devices.

Pilot Assist, City Safety, and BLIS

Safety is Volvo’s calling card, and the XC90 Plug-in Hybrid’s driver-assistance systems bring that expertise into every drive. Pilot Assist helps support steering, acceleration, and braking within clearly marked lanes, easing fatigue on longer highway stretches. City Safety looks out for other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, and can provide automatic braking support in certain situations. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with steering support helps you change lanes more confidently, while additional systems like Run-off Road Mitigation and Cross Traffic Alert further bolster situational awareness. Together, these technologies support your confidence without intruding on your control.

Scandinavian Craftsmanship and Comfort

The XC90 Plug-in Hybrid’s cabin embodies calm, tactile luxury. Expect beautifully grained surfaces, precise switchgear, and available materials like Nappa leather or a tailored wool blend for elevated comfort in all seasons. Available features such as an Orrefors crystal gear selector, a panoramic roof that brightens all three rows, and an Advanced Air Cleaner with in-cabin air quality monitoring enhance day-to-day well-being. Seating ergonomics reflect Volvo’s human-centric approach, and thoughtful storage throughout the cabin ensures phones, water bottles, and small items always have a place. It is understated, modern, and crafted to feel good for hours at a time.

Flexible Three-Row Space

With seating for up to seven, the XC90 Plug-in Hybrid is engineered for families and active lifestyles. The second row offers generous adjustability to balance legroom with third-row access, while the third row is ready for kids or occasional adult guests. When plans call for cargo, folding the rear rows creates a long, flat load floor for bulky gear—think skis, camping totes, or weekend DIY supplies. Available conveniences like a hands-free tailgate and a 360-degree camera help streamline loading, parking, and navigating tight lots. It is space made smarter, ready for real life.
