The armoured Volvo XC90. Now with plug-in hybrid technology for your everyday electric drives.
Protection for an electric future
At Volvo Cars we have high ambitions for electrification, with the target to be fully electric by 2030. Our advanced plug-in hybrid technology is an important part of this transition. By making this powertrain available for our armoured XC90 SUV as well, we provide our customers with the benefit of both armoured protection and zero tailpipe emission driving in electric mode.
SUV design for your security
Although the armoured XC90 is a powerful SUV, it does not attract unnecessary attention. The armouring is practically invisible. As a driver, you can enjoy the enhanced sense of security provided by a high seating position, all-wheel drive capacity, large heavy-duty 20-inch wheels and high ground clearance.
Your everyday large electric SUV
In the armoured XC90, our advanced plug-in hybrid technology allows you to enjoy the comfort of fully electric everyday driving – up to 67 km* on a single charge when in electric mode. A powerful electric motor and a high-performance petrol engine combine to elevate your drive and provide the range and performance you need for longer distances.
*This range figure is preliminary and derives from estimates and calculations performed by Volvo Cars for the armoured Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid and this outcome is not guaranteed. The driving range and energy consumption under real conditions vary depending on driving behaviour and other external factors.
Surrounded by protection
All armouring, including the reinforced laminated glass in all windows, is discreetly integrated into the car’s design to help protect without being seen.
The complete car is certified according to American NIJ-IIIA armouring standards in combination with VPAM 2009. This enhanced protection is unique to Europe and helps ensure 360° ballistic protection from different angles and distances including otherwise vulnerable points of the car body. The certification shows the exhaustive quality on the armouring process, and Volvo Cars warranty covers functionality on all car and safety systems.
To compensate for up to 320 kg extra weight, the armoured XC90 is equipped with a reinforced chassis, more powerful brakes and heavy-duty 20-inch wheels. Combined with all-wheel drive and a 455 hp T8 AWD plug-in hybrid or a 300 hp B6 AWD mild hybrid, this gives you performance and stability for nearly all roads and conditions.
