Volvo has announced pricing and specifications for its updated XC90 seven-seat SUV.

Under the bonnet, there is a choice of two different powertrains. The first is an all-wheel-drive T8 petrol-electric plug-in hybrid that Volvo claims can do up to 44 miles on battery power alone – while the battery can be charged from empty to full in three hours. The engine produces 314bhp alongside a 147bhp electric motor to give a total power output of 449bhp. Acceleration stands at 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds. The second option is a mild-hybrid petrol engine that offers 253bhp and does 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds.placeholder image
