The leap in quality was best illustrated at the moment I settled in behind the wheel of the XC90 T8 Inscription. The range-topping plug-in hybrid model's cabin is bedecked with leather, metal and glossy bits. The shift knob for the transmission is a piece of fine crystal glass handmade by Scandinavian glassmaker Orrefors. The dashboard and console feature very few physical controls, but those that are there (starter, drive mode selector and volume knob) are little diamond-cut bits of metal sculpture. The a deliberate attention to detail here is delightful. Under the XC90 T8's skin is a plug-in hybrid power train that starts with the automaker's new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which uses both a turbocharger and a supercharger in sequence to generate 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. That already potent engine is mated to Volvo's Crank-Integrated Starter Generator (C-ISG), a 34kW water-cooled electric motor that adds an additional 103 pound-feet of torque to the mix. The C-ISG is sandwiched between the engine and a shift-by-wire eight-speed automatic transmission. This combo handles the front-wheels' power while a second 65kW Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) motor provides up to 177 pound-feet of instant, on-demand torque to the rear wheels. Total system output for the T8's "Twin Engine" power train peaks at 400 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to hustle the heavy hybrid hauler to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds. More impressive is Volvo's preliminary claim that the XC90 T8 will be good for over 59 mpg once the EPA gets its hands on the SUV. The hybrid's 16 to 17 miles of pure electric range will no doubt help to inflate the XC90's city mpg rating. Volvo states that the 9.3kWh lithium ion battery can be plugged in and recharged in about 3 hours at a 22oV fast-charging station. The plug-in hybrid features five drive modes that are selectable via a wheel on the center console. Hybrid is the default, a balanced setting; Pure attempts to operate in full-EV mode for as long as the batteries' charge will allow; and Power delivers the best performance from the gasoline engine and the two motors. There's also an AWD setting that optimizes the use of the ERAD for maximum traction (sort of like a virtual locking center differential) and a Save mode that makes use of the gasoline engine to sustain the charge of the battery pack -- for example, to maintain enough EV range for residential driving at the end of a commute.
