Volvo PH adds PHEV trims in XC60, XC90 lineup to expand NEV roster

MANILA: Volvo Philippines — under the distributorship of Hariphil Asia Resources Incorporated — has expanded the lineups of both the XC60 and XC90 in the country with the addition of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) trims.

The two models are being made available to buyers alongside their mild-hybrid variations — giving clients more options who want to shift to new energy vehicles (NEV).

According to HARI Vice Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Maria Fe Agudo, the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid is “designed for those who choose to raise the bar — versatile and ready for the everyday, prepared for life’s big moments, and designed to protect what matters most.” “It’s a high-breed SUV for drivers who value smart performance and responsible leadership on the road.”

On the other hand, she described the Volvo XC90 Plug-in Hybrid as a symbol of “how we, as leaders and individuals, can exceed the bar of responsibility.” “It represents our commitment to go beyond expectations, to care for people, and to drive meaningful change on the road and in society.”

Here’s what customers will get should they opt for any of the two newly-released vehicles.
