Electricity = energy. While that equation might sound scientific, Lovering Volvo in Nashua is actually describing a scene at the recent North American International Auto Show (NAIA). Confused? Perhaps we should've said "New electric Volvo = energized crowd." Simple law of automotive science. When Volvo introduces an innovative vehicle, people get excited. And given all its power and performance, the Volvo XC60 with plug-in hybrid technology is truly something to be enthused about.

Now, at this point you might be thinking, Here comes just another plug-in hybrid offering great fuel-economy and plenty of driving options. In a sense, you're right. The XC60 hybrid concept does lower your gasoline intake, save you money at the pump and allow you to choose between all-electric and hybrid drive modes. However, it's not just another hybrid model. It's a hybrid model backed by Volvo and its recent production developments. This means that the XC60 crossover variant offers the following:

-          Safety: Volvo electric vehicles are put through stringent safety testing ensuring that high-voltage batteries are protected during real-life crash scenarios
-          Performance: the plug-in hybrid sacrifices none of the original Volvo XC60 drive and power
-          Efficiency: new four-cylinder engine brings down weight, increases efficiency and keeps the same performance of the larger six-cylinder

Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO, adds to these features saying, "Electrification is one of our four major focus areas and our three cars in one plug-in hybrid takes hybrid technology into the next level."¹ Put simply, if Volvo has its eye turned towards something, you know it's got to be good.
