Introducing the XC70: The Plug-In Hybrid We’ve Been Waiting For

Volvo’s latest creation, the 2026 XC70 “Long Range Plug-In Hybrid,” is turning heads with its impressive 400 hp and an eye-watering all-electric range of 200 km (that’s roughly 125 miles for those of us addicted to the Imperial system). Yes, it’s officially here and the order books are open. But hold your horses, American fans of Swedish engineering—you can’t get your hands on one… yet!

The Great Chinese Debut

Initially teased as a China-only model back in May, the XC70 breathes new life into a beloved nameplate. This plug-in hybrid is aimed squarely at meeting the booming demand for longer-range vehicles in the Middle Kingdom. However, with tariffs lurking around like an unwanted guest, other markets may just get a taste of this electrified goodness. Håkan Samuelsson, Volvo’s new/old chief, states this model is the bridge to full electric for those who aren’t ready to take the plunge.

Tech That Rocks

Built on Volvo’s scalable modular architecture (SMA), this is no ordinary hybrid. Drivers can expect to go over 1,200 km (nearly 750 miles) without needing to recharge or refuel. Plus, with its sneakily aerodynamic design, featuring a closed grille and sleek rear lights, it not only looks sharp but works like a charm. Inside, you’ll find a tech lover’s dream, boasting a crisp 12.3-inch driver display alongside a 15.4-inch centralized touchscreen. And let’s not forget its standout feature: a stunning 92-inch augmented reality heads-up display—making it hard not to have your jaw drop.
