HOW FAR CAN THE 2024 VOLVO XC90 RECHARGE (PHEV) GO ON A SINGLE CHARGE? REAL-WORLD EV RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid was subjected to a real-world range test, simulating a mix of city, highway, and stop-and-go driving conditions. Despite an EPA estimated electric range of 32 miles, the vehicle significantly exceeded expectations, achieving a final tested range of 41.7 miles. The reviewer noted the XC90's comfortable ride quality, particularly with the air suspension, and praised Volvo's updated hybrid system for the substantial increase in battery capacity and range compared to previous models. While the vehicle's infotainment system lacks detailed EV-specific statistics, the testers found the projected range estimates to be surprisingly accurate throughout the test. The overall efficiency averaged 2.21 miles per kilowatt-hour, which is considered respectable for a large, three-row luxury SUV, especially given its design predates a strong focus on electrification.
