The 2022 Volvo XC90 is a plug-in hybrid SUV with AWD and seating for 7. It belongs to the SPA generation. The T8 Recharge is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured T8 Recharge version develops 455 hp and 709 Nm (523 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.0 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 34% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 20% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 18.8 kWh. The recorded electric range is 71 km (44 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 1.8 L/100km. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,950 mm (194.9 in) in length, 2,008 mm (79.1 in) in width, and 1,776 mm (69.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,984 mm (117.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 451 litres (15.9 cu ft), expanding to 1,816 litres (64.1 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 7 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,350 kg (5,181 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,250 kg (4,960 lb). That cargo volume is about 11% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of B5 AWD and T8 Recharge. Across the range, the specifications span 250 hp to 455 hp, 5.0 s to 7.7 s, and 71 km, while listed starting prices run from $55,350-$63,400. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby plug-in hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2022 Volvo XC90 is strongest on towing capacity and power, while price and cargo capacity stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
