> All of our cars are available with plug-in hybrid technology. Introduction of mild hybrid powertrains – all newly launched Volvos will be electrified, either hybrids or fully electric.
And yes the S60 was offered as a plugin hybrid, which can be confirmed with a simple Google Search. "Pure" gas models also used their "Mild Hybrid" setup - whether that should count is up for debate, but maybe you should take a moment and fact check your assumptions?

That sentence in the article is just poorly written.
But yea, guess you can't expect journalists to be too focused on the specifics and facts these days.

I think also they've discontinued the V40 as they couldn't deliver a hybrid version on that platform?
>In 2019, all the models it sold were either hybrids or ran solely on batteries.
This is provably false. I have several family members who own 2019 or newer Volvos that are gas powered only. Some of the models do offer a hybrid option, though many DO NOT (the S60 in 2019 for sure did not come with anything but a gas engine). And of the ones where there is a hybrid/plug-in option, they are the most expensive and lowest volume.
I can't take anything else in here remotely seriously.
