Ladies and gents, feast your eyes on the facelifted Volvo XC90. Looks pretty much exactly the same as the current one, doesn"t it? Given how much we love Volvo"s design language at the moment, though, that"s no bad thing at all. Under the skin are where the biggest changes come. Volvo is introducing a new range of B"-badged cars, of which a B5 (a bit powerful) and B6 (a bit more powerful) will be available in the seven-seat SUV. This moniker will refer to plug-in hybrids that utilise a new kinetic energy recovery system (aka KERS), using the energy usually lost in braking to help power an electric motor. Yes, it"s Formula 1 tech in a Volvo. As the Swedish company pushes to reach its electrification goals, the top of the range T8 Twin Engine has also been upgraded to provide around 15 per cent greater range good news if you still require 400bhp as you attempt to save the world.
