2019 Volvo XC90 T8

Very, very close to ordering one.

Has anyone on here driven one/got one? Interested to know what the realworld overall range is like now with the bigger fuel tank etc?

A few of our London guys have them and company cars and like them. Having driven them they are a very nice place to be, like all PHEV’s the fuel consumption is not great if you are not charging and doing longer runs.

Great car, but do the maths if you need the plug-in version. There is a big price difference, and you see its benefits mainly on local trips. Calculate the price difference (with a standard petrol) against the fuel savings.

As above, it will return around 25mpg if you don't charge it.

Nice bit of lurking there!

I'd be plugging it in, otherwise whats the point?

Getting drawn towards an X5 45e now though...

I quite fancied one of those as the leccy range looks decent. But then I realised that I would be driving on 88bhp it only on electric so, nahhhh!

Had one for 2 years and 36000 miles. My wife drives it “vigorously” and it’s returned around 32mpg with it plugged in most days. EV range is around 21 miles but we have had the Polestar treatment done - Supercharged and Turbocharged with circa 420ps - so it was never going to be particularly economical.

The interior is a fantastic place to be. The tech is great and I think it’s a good looking thing. Personally I think the engine is a bit rough but it’s plenty quick enough...

Just about to buy another one to replace it.
