The Volvo T8 engine represents the pinnacle of plug-in hybrid technology, combining powerful performance with environmental consciousness. Goodwin’s Volvo proudly offers this innovative powertrain across multiple models, giving drivers throughout Topsham, ME, and beyond the freedom to experience electrified luxury without compromise.

Understanding the Volvo T8 Twin Engine Technology

The Volvo T8 engine is a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system that combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor. This configuration delivers up to 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque. The gasoline engine powers the front wheels while the electric motor drives the rear axle, creating an intelligent all-wheel drive system.

The powertrain features an 18.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, enabling up to 32 miles of pure electric driving in select models according to EPA estimates. This means that many daily commutes can be completed using zero gasoline. Each model equipped with the Volvo T8 engine also features five distinct driving modes—Pure, Hybrid, Power, Off-Road, and Constant All-Wheel Drive—allowing drivers to customize their experience based on conditions and preferences.
