Does the 2026 Volvo XC90 get a fully electric powertrain option in Canada?
No — the transition to a fully electric XC90 is tied to the next-generation platform, arriving as the EX90, with broader Canadian dealer availability expected for the 2027 model year. For 2026, the XC90 continues on the SPA platform with three powertrain options: the B6 AWD mild-hybrid at 300 hp, the B5 AWD at 250 hp, and the T8 Recharge AWD PHEV at 455 combined hp. The 2026 T8 Recharge does benefit from an enlarged 18.8 kWh high-voltage battery (up from 14.9 kWh on the 2024 model), boosting estimated WLTP electric range to 73 km. Buyers wanting a pure-electric Volvo large SUV now can explore the EX90, which began limited Canadian deliveries in late 2025, but inventory remains constrained at most dealerships.
