The XC90 is powered by Volvo’s new Drive-E engine family.
The 2.0-liter, four-cylinder range-topper will offer the unusual combination of a turbocharger, supercharger and electric motor that when combined generate an estimated 400 hp.
Volvo estimates it will be able to travel 25 miles in EV mode.
The supercharged and turbocharged version has output of 320 hp and an available D5 twin-turbo diesel engine that will produce 225 hp.
The engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are no current plans to market the diesel variant in the United States.
Volvo boasts the XC90’s emissions will also be low -- 60g/km based on European measurements. U.S. fuel economy estimates have not been released.
Volvo's only engine family will have four horsepower variants that range from 225 to 400 for the hybrid with a 65-kilowatt electric motor that executives say will have the performance of today’s eight-cylinder vehicles.
A three-cylinder Drive-E variant will also be available using Volvo's Drive-E architecture but details won’t be released until October, Mertens said. The three-cylinder will also be sold in the U.S., he said.
Over time, Volvo will offer only four transmissions -- two eight-speed automatics, a double-clutch and a manual, Mertens added.
