Volvo Hybrid SUVs & Cars For Sale in Tampa

Volvo hybrid vehicles now make up the majority of this brand's lineup as their designers strive to make the roads more fuel-efficient places to be. While most new Volvo cars have just a touch of electrification in the form of a battery-and-motor system that boosts fuel economy without the need to be plugged in, on this page, we're going to focus on plug-in hybrid models. PHEVs can operate on either electric and gasoline power or both.

If you're ready to take home one of our Volvo hybrid cars, it's time for a visit to our Volvo Cars Tampa showroom. Our expert advisors can pair you with a model that checks all your boxes.

Mild Hybrid vs. Plug-In Hybrid

The Volvo Cars brand has an almost entirely hybrid-powered lineup. The only exceptions are its fully electric vehicles. However, the types of Volvo hybrid vehicles differ significantly. There are mild hybrid models, which use regenerative braking technology to capture kinetic energy produced through braking. This energy is then stored in a small hybrid battery, which helps your vehicle go the extra mile.

A plug-in hybrid model – the topic of our guide today – offers enhanced fuel efficiency compared to a mild hybrid vehicle, although it will require plugging in to replenish its battery. Typically, Volvo plug-in hybrid vehicles have an 18.8 kWh battery and can charge at home in about five hours.¹ Here are some other perks of plug-in hybrid vehicles:

• Reduced reliance on gasoline
• Reduced gas-related emissions
• The ability to travel some measure of distance by using electric-only power

In addition, all of our PHEVs rely on the T8 eAWD powertrain, making 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, which can often help you achieve incredible zero to 60 speeds.

Volvo Hybrid SUVs

Now that we've discussed the merits of getting one of our Volvo hybrid vehicles, it's time to get more information on some of our favorite PHEVs. The 2024 model year welcomes back two models:

• Volvo XC60 Recharge
• Volvo XC90 Recharge

The Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid is a five-seater SUV that delivers an EPA-estimated 63 MPGe (Combined)² and allows you to travel up to 35 miles² on electric power only. Four trim levels are available: Core, Plus, Ultimate, and Polestar Engineered. A premium sound system, Head-Up Display, Pilot Assist, and front-seat ventilation are available interior perks. However, the standard trim gives you a panoramic roof and built-in Google services.

While impressive, we understand some families may need more seating. For these families, we suggest the new Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid, which can seat up to seven passengers comfortably. Swap out the second-row bench seat for a pair of captain's chairs for even more comfort for a family of six. Enjoy an EPA-estimated 58 MPGe (Combined)² and the ability to go up to 32 miles² on electric-only power.

This SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds when it's properly equipped, making it ideal for families with a boat or utility trailer. Meanwhile, its touring chassis helps you enjoy a smooth, more relaxed ride and sharp, intuitive handling.

Volvo Hybrid Sedans

Although we love our selection of SUVs, we understand some drivers may want something smaller and sleeker. For these drivers, we have two plug-in hybrid sedans available:

• Volvo S90 Recharge
• Volvo S60 Recharge

The 2024 Volvo S90 Plug-In Hybrid sedan is an elite executive sedan that delivers luxury and comfort without draining your wallet with gasoline costs. Enjoy an EPA-estimated 66 MPGe (Combined)² and the ability to travel up to 38 miles² on a single charge. Two trims (the Plus and Ultimate) give you access to high-end features like built-in Google services, a panoramic roof, an available premium Harman Kardon® sound system, and available front seat ventilation.

If you're looking for an executive sedan with a more agile frame, the Volvo S60 Recharge is your go-to. This model measures 188.1 inches in length, which is much smaller than that of the Volvo S90 Recharge length of 200.4 inches. Three trims are available on this model – each of which delivers an EPA-estimated 74 MPGe (Combined)² and up to 41 miles² of electric-only power.
