I visited Norway last week and had a V90 T8 rental for 3000 km…absolutely stunning powertrain. I was blown away by the power and efficiency. Electric driving in cities/towns and hybrid driving everywhere else. We own a ‘24 V60CC here in the US and the V90 was in a different class.
Sad to see the hybrid wagons go. Would have been cool to see them do a refresh like the new Passat with a larger battery, 11 kw AC charging and 50kw DC charging. All we can hope for now is a proper EV wagon. 🤞
My lighter, sleeker 2023 S60 has traveled 60.2 miles on electric (in Pennsylvania, state and secondary roads, rolling terrain, 40 to 50 mph). On that day I then charged with the ICE, adding three battery miles over the last seven miles of my trip.
Such a wonderful car. Sad for Norway that it cannot be sold on the same terms as electric cars. But as I said, should have a similar battery and charging as the new Passat. Or even better as fully electric.

EV wagons are taller due to the battery. EV SUVs are lower due to lower drag coefficient.
The result is that EV wagons and EV SUVs are very similar.
Don’t matter do. A wagon is a wagon and a suv is a suv.

What a stunning country must have been a treat driving through it with this great V90 👌
Jag har kört 86,7 km med XC60, och hade 6 km kvar 😉
