Volvo celebrates 1 millionth plug-in hybrid electric vehicle production milestone
Volvo reached a major milestone in 2025 by delivering its one-millionth plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
This journey started back in 2012 with their first PHEV, and now it's a clear sign Volvo is moving closer to becoming a fully electrified brand.
XC60 and XC90 led PHEV sales charge
Plug-in hybrids made up 23% of Volvo's global sales in early 2025—a huge jump from just 46,000 sold in 2019 to over 177,000 in 2024.
The XC60 and XC90 SUVs led the charge, with the XC60 topping Europe's PHEV charts and dominating the premium market for three years straight.
Volvo's electrification journey continues
To keep up with demand, Volvo now offers five different PHEVs and six fully electric models—Volvo has the highest share of PHEVs among legacy luxury carmakers.
Their new XC70 long-range PHEV can go over 200km on a single charge (CLTC test), showing they're not slowing down on electrification anytime soon.
