In 2022, the V90 mild hybrid was introduced for better fuel economy and replaces the belt driven supercharger with an electric one, and in addition, uses a belt driven Belt Alternator Starter (BAS) unit.[13][14] In 2023, Volvo removed conventional engines as an option, meaning mild hybrids are the base engine option in the US.[15] In July 2024, the V90 returned in the United Kingdom in T6 Plus and T8 Ultra trim levels, replacing Core, Plus and Ultimate; these are available only as a plug-in hybrid. [16]
Engines
The V90 is only available with 2.0-litre, 4 cylinder petrol and diesel engines from the VEA family (Drive-E). The more powerful petrol engines are compound charged, as is the plug-in hybrid variant called the T8.[17] The D5 diesel engine features Volvo's new[18]PowerPulse[19] technology that is designed to eliminate turbo lag as well as an i-Art injection system.[20]
