Why Are Plug-In Hybrid Cars So Efficient?
All hybrid vehicles use battery-and-motor systems to complement their internal combustion engines. Mild-hybrid cars rely on energy captured during regenerative braking to power their electrical systems. As a result, they typically only add electric power during fuel-intensive moments, such as rapid acceleration.
Plug-in hybrids, on the other hand, are recharged externally (in addition to regenerative charging) and can use electric power more often. This allows them to achieve superb fuel economy, such as the EPA-estimated 2026 Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid MPG rating of 58 MPGe (Combined).1
While all plug-in hybrid vehicles are efficient, some are more so than others. You can compare the Volvo XC90 PHEV to the competition to see just how impressive this particular model is.

If the Volvo XC90 PHEV SUV's battery is not charged, it scores an EPA-estimated 27 MPG (Combined).2 While its EPA-estimated 58 MPGe (Combined)1 score when its battery is in use is even better, its gasoline-only rating still outstrips much of the competition.
