Manufacturer data · motorway values calibrated by the Caralogy engine

Among the 8 E-SUV plug-in hybrid, the XC90 T8 AWD Recharge combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (in the bottom third), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the XC90 T8 AWD Recharge through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Analysis · tailored to this vehicle

Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

E-SUV plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 3rd of 7 in Thermal cons. estimated (8.7 L/100).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 51 km EV range, the car runs on pure combustion. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more relevant.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Audi Q7 SUV (1st with 77 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Audi Q8 SUV (1st with 1779 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 51 km pure electric ( (in the bottom third))

With a full battery, the XC90 T8 AWD Recharge drives in pure electric mode for the first 51 km WLTP — placing it 6th of 7 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Audi Q7 SUV (77 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the XC90 T8 AWD Recharge behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
