New Volvo Electric & Hybrid Vehicles for Sale in Austin, TX

Volvo's goal is to be climate neutral by 2040, and they've made great strides toward that objective with their lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles. If you desire an eco-friendlier car, wagon, or SUV that's sustainable and luxurious, shop the wide selection of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles (EVs) at Volvo Cars Hill Country. Not only are these vehicles easier on the environment, but they also offer peppy acceleration and front-line technology features.

Differences Between Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and Fully Electric Vehicles

If your main goal is better fuel economy, a Volvo hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) may be just the ticket. These vehicles pair a gas engine with one or more electric motors for better gas mileage and fewer emissions. While a regular hybrid boosts fuel economy, a PHEV will operate on electric power only for a few miles. When the battery runs out of juice, the gas engine takes over for a longer combined range. The electric motor (or motors) may also enable quicker acceleration. Hybrids have regenerative braking to keep them charged up, while PHEVs must be plugged in to add charge.

If you'd prefer a vehicle that releases zero emissions and allows you to break free from gasoline completely, get a fully electric Volvo model. These vehicles are quiet, quick, and environmentally friendly. You can recharge them at home or at public charging stations. Since they don't need oil changes or radiator service, they require less maintenance. You may even receive income tax credits when purchasing an EV.

Volvo Mild Hybrids and PHEVs

The new Volvo XC40 is a mild hybrid subcompact SUV. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to produce a combined 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. If you'd like more electrification, try a plug-in hybrid, such as the new Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid. This compact crossover uses a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and an 18.8-kWh lithium-ion battery to generate a combined 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque.
