The powerplant comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Swedish carmaker claims a 0-100 km/hr time of 5.8 seconds and an all-electric range of 40 kms.

In terms of features, the Volvo XC90 Inscription petrol is similarly equipped as the XC90 Inscription diesel which means you get features like 4-zone climate control, 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, panoramic sunroof, ventilation function for the front seats, Nappa leather upholstery, air suspension, HUD, 7 airbags, collision avoidance and radar-based adaptive cruise control.
