Volvo Car India today launched its latest range of Petrol mild-hybrid cars in India. The new 2023 lineup includes the Petrol mild-hybrid version of the company’s popular compact luxury SUV, The XC40. The other 2023 models launched today include – the luxury sedan S90, Volvo’s best-selling mid-size luxury SUV XC60 and the company’s flagship luxury SUV, XC90. With these introductions, the company completes its transition to complete Petrol mild hybrids, moving closer to Volvo Cars’ sustainable mobility ambition and in sync with the company strategy of becoming an all-electric company by 2030.
At the same time, lack of a diesel portfolio has resulted in the company’s sales dip because SUVs and diesel go hand in hand. Volvo’s early to bite the electric and petrol hybrid bullet has seen sales coming down despite YOY increase. A diesel portfolio with this current petrol lineup would have helped the company easily take on its rivals.
The new Petrol mild-hybrid Volvo XC40 is priced at Rs. 45,90,000 ex-showroom. For the upcoming festive season, the company is offering a special Hassle-free price of Rs 43,20,000 for a limited period. Powered by 1969-cc engine paired with a 48-volt battery, the XC40 has a touring chassis that should make the smoother ride on bumpy roads. An additional safety feature in the XC40 mild hybrid is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross traffic alert. A feature that was in the original XC40 was cut and has come back to the entry level SUV.
The new Petrol mild-hybrid XC90 is priced at Rs. 94,90,000 ex-showroom. The new XC90 now features the intuitive, next-generation Android-based infotainment system with Google Services. Something that has been criticized to be not so expansive as the company’s own system and makes the experience a bit dull.
These standard features of Digital Services giving access to Google apps, other apps and services offering hands-free help with Google Assistant, best-in-class navigation through Google Maps are now available in the entire MY23 model range.

S90 is now priced at Rs. 66,90,000 ex-showroom and the new Petrol mild-hybrid Volvo XC60 is priced at Rs. 65,90,000 ex-showroom.
