Today, Green Car Journal announced that Volvo's world-first seven passenger plug-in hybrid SUV, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine, was the winner of its 2016 "Luxury Green Car of the Year" award.
"The new Volvo XC90 T8 is a milestone luxury SUV offering the important features most desired by buyers who want it all,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "Its attractive new styling, welcome luxury appointments, seven passenger seating, and plug-in hybrid power deservedly earn its distinction as Green Car Journal’s 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™. "
The XC90 T8 offers a power combustion engine, and an efficient electric motor. Combined they deliver impressive performance, and an EPA-rated 53 mpg. Drivers may select from five different driving modes, to find their preferred balance of performance and efficiency.
“It is an honor to receive this award from Green Car Journal for the XC90 T8,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO, Volvo Car USA. “Volvo is committed to a vehicle electrification strategy that will make powerful and efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains available in more models, such as the S90 luxury sedan that goes on sale this year.”
