Volvo V60 - equipped with first diesel plug-in hybrid in the world

The VolvoV60 is powered with a combination of electric and diesel car which is slated to consume less fuel and give a high performance. The choice of how the drivers wish to operate the car can be selected by pressing a single button on the dashboard, the choice of Pure, Hybrid and Power driving modes. The coordination between the two is monitored via a control system.

Powered with electricity, the car gives a range of up to 32 miles while with its hybrid you can have a carbon emission of just 49g/km. The combined output of the Volvo V60 is 215 + 70 horsepower and 440 + 200 Nm of torque. The acceleration figures are 0 to 62 mph of just 6.9 seconds.

The Volvo V60 runs on electric motor when in the Pure form and the battery range depends upon the terrain, climate and driving style. The battery can be recharged using at a renewable source powered by Vettenfall. When you switch over to Hybrid mode, the diesel engine and electric motor combine to perform at an optimal balance. Finally, when the Power mode is selected, the car is designed to give exemplary performance using the combined power.

The battery costs is certainly slightly expensive than a regular Volvo car engine but at the same time the fuel costs are likely to be reduced to one third of the regular trim of Volvo 60. For charging the plug-in hybrid you can use your regular household electricity socket and the entire process could take five hours to get your car fully charged up.

While there is still some more time for the Volvo V60 hybrid plug in trim to be launched, the current Volvo V60 is well designed coupe with a sporty look. The look and feel of the car is similar to the S60 saloon. The best part of the car is the extra rear space offered for passengers.
