The car is available in selected markets across the world. It is more premium added to the already luxurious XC90 Inscription trim. The car will be launched this month only, and it will get the T8 petrol hybrid version in India.
The Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid is available in the inscription version. It gets a 7 seat layout luxurious cabin. But the 4 seater version will come more premium.

The centre console between the two rear seats come with a pop up touchscreen. Also the centre arm rest gets tray tables, USB ports, charging points and a storage compartment.

The T8 twin engine hybrid powertrain will be powering the car. The internal combustion engine is a 2.0 litre T8 supercharged and turbocharged unit. It is combined with an electric motor. The petrol engine powers the front axle, while the electric motor sends power to rear axle.
