Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept car












 XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept can switch between Pure electric mode, Hybrid mode, or Power mode, which combines the power of the 280 hp gasoline engine with the 70 hp electric motor to propel the car from zero to 60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 5.8 seconds.
The four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine generating 380 Nm (280 lb. ft) of torque that powers the vehicle's front wheels is from Volvo's upcoming Volvo Environmental Architecture (VEA) engine family
a 70 hp electric motor generating 200 Nm (148 lb. ft) of torque drives the vehicle's rear axle with power supplied from a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack located under the floor of the rear cargo compartment. Recharging via a 11V/12A outlet will take 7.5 hours, while a 22V/12A outlet will get the job done in 3.5 hours. While recharging, the passenger compartment can also be cooled or heated to save battery power when hitting the road.
