However, the Swedish brand that innovates in many areas, will present in a few days at the Detroit International Auto Show, a prototype application – yet very close to becoming a production model – in an SUV body.
It will be the third brand, after Porsche which has a hybrid Cayenne, and BMW with the ActiveHybrid X6, which will have a hybrid SUV, as is the XC60, but this one will stand out because it will also charge from an outlet.
Innovation
The XC60 Plug-in Hybrid has three operating modes. In Pure mode the vehicle only moves electrically with a range of approx 45 km. In Hybrid mode which is also the basic function of the vehicle, the petrol engine and the electric motor work together to offer normal driving pleasure with autonomy 960 km. – in this mode the average consumption is just 2,3 liters of petrol per 100 km. and carbon dioxide emissions 53 gr / km.
Not in Power mode, the arrangement of the joint operation of the two engines is such that it catapults the performances. The four-cylinder petrol engine of the 280 hp with torque 380 Nm, cooperates with their electric motor 70 hp with 200 Nm of torque, giving acceleration 6,1 sec. στα 0-100 km / h!
Briefly…
Recyclable parts, new engine, lighter and 35% more economical. Without conventional starter and voltage alternator. With complete starter and generator (ISG) which offers extra 45 hp on acceleration, while charging the battery under braking. The petrol engine drives the front axle and the electric motor drives the rear (four wheel drive).
The torque distribution on the two axles is adjusted with a switch. The battery is also at the back 12 kWh.
