The achievement comes from innovative hybrid drivetrain Volvo.
Not long after the introduction of the Q7 Audi e-tron with fuel consumption of only 1.7 liters / 100km, Volvo XC90 also launched T8 hurry. By combining gasoline engine turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, the 320 horsepower electric motor with 87 horsepower, the XC90 T8 total capacity and torque respectively 407 horsepower and 640 Nm. Those figures are brought to the acceleration time from 0-100 km / h in just 5.6 seconds - pretty impressive for an SUV 7 seats. So strong is the XC90 T8 but also just "click" of about 2.1 liters / 100 km and CO2 emissions 49G after each kilometer.
At first, it seems not saving T8 XC90 by e-tron Q7 as the Audi SUV consumes just 1.7 liters / 100 km. On the other hand, the difference in fuel consumption capacity of two cars will also come from a number of fundamental differences. Accordingly, T8 XC90 combines an electric motor with a traditional gasoline engine, while the Q7 e-tron is a hybrid diesel. Moreover, T8 XC90 has higher capacity and faster speed Q7 e-tron. That is not including the Volvo car can run 43 km only by electric power - a figure that has not had any competitors gain, including the BMW X5 upcoming hybrid.
To do this, Dr. Peter Mertens, senior vice president of Research and Development of Volvo, said: "We have been very actively working to reach this achievement, giving customers a comprehensive combination between strength and ability to save fuel. Twin Engine technology allows us to develop the car's drive system in a new direction. Thanks to Scalable Platform Architecture chassis and engine 4-cylinder world class, obviously we are in the leading position. "According to Volvo, the XC90 SUV T8 is strong and "green" today.
The driver can select 5 different operating modes, including the default Hybrid mode, Pure Electric (runs completely on electricity), Power (combining both gasoline and electricity to provide power to the optimum), AWD (activated four-wheel drive system and full-time) and Save (conservation current battery capacity). Particularly in Power mode, Volvo is confident that the car will own the equivalent power V8 engines at low rpm range.
Of course, prices for property T8 XC90 will be not cheap: Low-end version starts at about $ 69,000, or nearly $ 20,000 more expensive than conventional XC90. When present in the showroom, T8 XC90 SUV will enter the fight "clean" with rivals such as the Audi Q7 Germany e-tron, BMW X5 xDrive and Mercedes-Benz GLE550e 40e.
