Volvo has announced the return of its XC40 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model, which the company discontinued about three years ago. While a mild hybrid version has remained available in the US and other markets—alongside the fully electric EX40—the PHEV variant is making a comeback with significant updates.

The new XC40 PHEV will feature a major redesign, upgraded sensors, and integration with Gemini AI. The vehicle is expected to reach dealerships in early 2025, though the snippet does not provide details about specific performance changes or pricing.
