Volvo Cars has unveiled a refreshed version of its best-selling Volvo XC90 large SUV, the company's top-of-the-line flagship, adding a newly-developed fuel-saving engine option that marks the next step in the company's ambitious electrification strategy.The refreshed Volvo XC90 for the first time offers customers Volvo's advanced kinetic energy recovery braking system, which is coupled with its existing internal combustion engines to create a new integrated electrified powertrain, under its new 'B' badge.This new electrified powertrain offers drivers up to 15 per cent fuel savings and emission reductions in real world driving.The new brake-by-wire system interacts with the energy recovery system and reduces fuel consumption and emissions by recovering kinetic energy under braking.The introduction of the new XC90 'B'-badged cars represents a major step for Volvo Cars towards its electrification ambitions.The new 'B'-badged cars complement Volvo's existing T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid electrified option on the new Volvo XC90.On the outside, the refreshed XC90 offers subtle upgrades to the original award-winning exterior design, such as new wheels, exterior colours and a modern new grill, among other details.On the inside, the superlative and award-winning interior design remains in place, but perhaps the most noticeable addition is the fact that it can be ordered with a range of different seating configurations.From the four-seat Excellence variant and the seven-seat family SUV to the brand new six-seat configuration, the Volvo XC90 is available with any number of seats that best fits people's preferences and lifestyles. New interior materials including a wool blend offer further options for personalisation.

Volvo revealed the new S60 midsize sedan, and it seems like we might have a real sleeper on our hands. The top-of-the-line S60, the T8 hybrid, offers 400 hp from a turbo- and supercharged four-cylinder driving the front wheels plus an electric motor at the rear axle. And if that's not enough, there's a Polestar-Engineered version with 415 hp and a hefty 494 lb-ft of torque. According to Automotive News, the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered will do 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. That doesn't make it an all-out BMW M3-fighter, but it does put this S60 on par with all-wheel drive sports sedans like the Audi S4 and Mercedes-AMG C43—which do 0-60 mph in 4.3 and 4.1 seconds, respectively, per Car and Driver—all while offering subtle good looks that'll totally fly under the radar. The Polestar upgrades don't stop at engine tuning, either. The S60 T8 Polestar Engineered gets new dampers designed in partnership with Öhlins, big Brembo brakes behind 19-inch forged wheels, and a strut-tower brace under the hood. There's also some styling upgrades inside and out to signify to those in the know that this is no ordinary Volvo.
