Joining the range alongside the existing T5 PHEV, the T4 model is available in R-Design and Inscription equipment grades, priced at £39,130 and £39,475 respectively. The first deliveries are expected in October.
Volvo has also announced new petrol mild hybrid engine options for the XC40, with the 2.0-litre, 197hp B4 and 2.0-litre, 250hp B5 replacing the previously available T4 and T5 petrol engines.
The new mild hybrids feature a 48V battery to support the engine.
