THE MILD HYBRID powertrain, also known as MHEV, utilizes both a combustion engine and an electric motor. The MHEV is used to start the engine and brake or slow the car, thereby recovering brake energy that is stored in the 48V battery. This energy is then used to help boost the combustion engine when accelerating. Xc4Mild Hybrid drive trains are available as either diesel or petrol variants. What are the benefits? Smoother drive - The mild hybrid technology adds to a more refined driving experience. The engine restarts instantly and you can enjoy a smoother drive from standstill. Lower fuel consumption - The integrated starter generator actively reduces engine load for lowered fuel consumption, especially in urban driving situations. More power - Using recuperated electric energy, the integrated starter generator boosts the combustion engine for more powerful acceleration. The XC60 sits between the smaller XC40 and the largest SUV, the XC90. It has the comfort and refinement of the XC90 in a smaller 5 seat package. The cabin feels open and luxurious which, combined with the soft leather or textile interior, quiet engine and smooth ride means the XC60 is one of the most popular premium SUVs on the market today with unparalleled safety.
