2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge Review: This Old Dog Has New Tricks

Despite looking relatively unchanged since its 2016 debut, the 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) has been reworked in the years since its debut with a major update to its all-electric range and power in late 2022. In our first test of the updated XC90 Recharge, we wanted to see what these updates do for range and power, now at 33 miles of EPA-rated electric range before using the gasoline engine and a combined system output of 455 horsepower. We named the then-redesigned 2016 Volvo XC90 our favorite car of 2016, so does this old favorite still have a few tricks up its sleeve?

Good Video. However the Tax Credit was still available on May 29th 2023, when I purchased my Volvo XC90 T8. I do believe it's still is available to date .

I just bought a my24 xc90 t8 ultimate dark and swap with dealershp the 22 inch wheels for 20 and it feels way better ride, also I decided my purchase because Volvo got rid of the supercharger turbos and just add more power to the electric motor in the back.
