You want an SUV that makes the weekday commute quiet and efficient, then takes your family up the Sea-to-Sky without a second thought. The 2026 Volvo XC90 T8 AWD Plus Dark is built for exactly that. It blends useful electric driving around town with long-trip flexibility, a spacious 6- or 7-seat cabin, and the kind of confidence that makes winter driving feel simple.
Real electric driving for your week, gas flexibility for your weekend
Up to about 53 km of electric range (NRCan estimate) means you can handle many local errands and school runs on electricity if you plug in regularly. When your battery is low, the gasoline engine takes over smoothly. Volvo Cars
T8 AWD plug-in hybrid is the XC90’s electrified powertrain, pairing an electric motor with a refined gas engine for quiet takeoffs and easy highway merging. Volvo
Space and layout that fit real life
Choose six seats with captain’s chairs or seven seats with a bench. Both give you three usable rows and easy access to the third row. Volvo Cars
Practical cargo room for family gear: Volvo Canada lists about 298–301 L behind the third row, about 977–979 L with the third row folded, and up to about 1,941–1,985 L with rear rows down, depending on seating layout. The floor is low and flat, which makes loading simple. Volvo Cars
Plus Dark: the right mix of features and a clean, sporty look
Plus adds everyday upgrades like a 360-degree camera and expanded park assist that make condo and mall parking easier. Volvo Cars+1
Dark theme brings high-gloss black exterior accents for a sportier vibe. If you prefer a classic look, the Bright theme is available too. Volvo Cars
Tech that feels familiar on day one
Google built-in puts Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play right in the car. Voice directions, easy search for charging and coffee stops, and map updates that happen in the background. Volvo Cars
The large, clear center display and updated 360-degree camera views help in tight parkades and narrow alleys.

Calm confidence in BC weather
Standard AWD and the XC90’s composed chassis help when roads turn wet and slushy. Fit proper winter tires, precondition the cabin while plugged in on cold mornings, and you will notice how relaxed the drive feels. Volvo Cars
Planning a mixed-conditions trip to Squamish or Manning Park? Start charged, use electric power around town, then let the hybrid system handle the climbs and long highway stretches.
Is the XC90 T8 Plus Dark a good fit for you?
Choose this trim if you want a three-row family SUV that lets you do most weekdays on electricity, keeps fuel simple on road trips, and adds park-friendly tech with a sportier exterior. If you prefer a 6-seat layout with captain’s chairs, your retailer can help you pick the configuration that suits your family best. Volvo Cars
