Volvo Launches Four 2023 Models In India, All Feature Mild-hybrid Tech

• The facelifted XC40 gets a full ADAS suite. 

• The compact SUV is now pricier by Rs 1.4 lakh; offered with special festive season price for a limited period. 

• XC90 SUV and S90 sedan now command a premium of Rs 1 lakh. 

• Volvo to launch the C40 Recharge EV next year. 

Volvo has launched updated versions of its entire ICE vehicle lineup in India that includes the XC40, XC60 and XC90 SUVs and the S90 sedan. The carmaker’s entire lineup is now electrified, and pure ICE (petrol and diesel) variants/models have been discontinued.

Volvo Lineup Prices 

With the new updates, Volvo’s models have gotten pricier by around Rs 1 lakh. The XC40 gets the largest price increase at Rs 1.4 lakh, since its mild-hybrid system is all-new and it also gets a facelift. The XC60 hasn’t seen a refresh since its last update in 2021, so its prices are unchanged. 

New Volvo XC40 Facelift 

The new XC40 gets a mildly refreshed front fascia with new pixel LED headlights and fresh bumper design. It’s now also available in new Fjord Blue and Sage Green paint shades.  

Its 2-litre turbo-petrol engine is now paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system and delivers a combined output of 197PS and 300Nm, an increase of 7PS over its predecessor.

Volvo’s entry-level SUV also gets a full suite of driver-assistance features that include blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with forward and rear collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control. 

Although its prices have increased, Volvo is offering the SUV at Rs 43.2 lakh (ex-showroom) at present, lower than even what the pre-facelift model cost, just for a limited time during the festive season.

The XC90 already had a mild-hybrid powertrain, but it has been refreshed and now gets updates such as a new Google Android-based operating system (OS) for the infotainment system. Other features include driver-assistance systems such as forward collision prevention and adaptive cruise control, head-up display, Bowers and Wilkins sound system, panoramic sunroof and air suspension.

It’s now available in Bright Dusk, Denim Blue and Platinum Grey paint shades in addition to the previously available white and black shades.
