Volvo melds technology and luxury in the XC90 T8 hybrid

The name Volvo conjures up the incredibly safe but visually bland 240 Wagon sold during the '70s, '80s and '90s. You'd buy a Volvo because you were practical and possibly a bit paranoid about other drivers slamming into you. But the Swedish automaker has been working hard to make its cars not only safe but also stylish and high-tech. That work has culminated in the hybrid XC90 T8 luxury SUV. It's a visually striking SUV both inside and out, with clean lines, subtle accents and a few hints of chrome on the outside.
