- Range Rover P440e Hybrid vs Volvo XC90 T8 Hybrid,
Here we have two large luxury hybrid SUV's, in one corner we have the Range Rover P440e hybrid and in the other we have the Volvo XC90 T8 Hybrid. Both cars aim to offer similar experiences for the driver and the occupants, both offer incredible luxury and refinement whilst also offering all the benefits of a hybrid vehicle.
They do however go about achieving their goals in different ways, the Range Rover uses a 3 litre 6 cylinder petrol and bank of batteries whilst the Volvo uses a 2 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine and a bank of batteries.
Both are able to drive purely on electric power alone and both have over 400 hp, so both cars are the very best of the best in their respective brands, both have large cabins loaded full of technology and gadgets. But the question is which is best?
We put both cars through three challenges, each testing an important area in the segment, join us to find out which comes out on top.
Please remember this video is just for a bit of fun so the challenges are designed more for entertainment rather than a factual comparison between both car.

Fun video. We have the XC90 T8 and my colleague has the hybrid Rangie. His is definitely flashier but as an everyday car we both prefer the XC90!!
Volvo XC90 is very nice car
I see more Volvos in Beverly Hills than Range Rovers. It’s the understated premium people mover.
The xc90 is safer with the tech and engineering against the Range Rover.
Volvo is more reliable and smooth with luxury features
I went to order the Range rover P440E and was told minimum 2 years waiting list . So I ordered the XC90 T8 due to arrive next week after waiting 9 months. I currently drive an Audi Q7 but the plug in hybrid version barely does 20miles in the real world , No good for me . The BMW X5e the boot is far too small. BMW X7 no plug in hybrid. Boot space is vital for me as my wife is disabled and I have to put in a buggy and wheel chair before luggage. All other range rover cars have boots too small. So I hope the Volvo will be good.
Do you have the T8 now? How do you like it?
@@Wellspicedchaffinch I like it a lot. I have now done 4000 miles . It doesnt handle as well as my Audi or ride as well but that is a very high bar. You do feel the bumps more. However it is a quick car , very fast away from the lights and very well put together. Great motorway cruiser. My wife loves its looks in white. The boot is very good and I am happy with my purchase. No issues so far. Economy not quite as good as I expected because of the increase in cost of electricity as in petrol only I am getting around 30mpg but I always have a full boot. Negatives are I dont like touch screen controls as it works ok but you have to take your eyes off the road and some things like fan control and heated seats require multiple precise touches. Yes you can use voice control but you have to know how to say it and being from the West Midlands it sometimes misunderstands. I cant find any reference to read up on this. No physical handbook. The other negative is the the doors do not cover the sills when closed as my Audi did . This means ,as I live in the countryside my wife gets her legs dirty when she slides out of the car. Also its not a 4x4 in the sense of a Land Rover but I rarely need true 4x4 performance. It has air suspension but I miss being able to set it at different heights. Its an automatic system only depending on your driving mode. I miss the control the Audi gave me. I am very pleased though with the safety aspects of it and proximity sensors etc. I would now miss not having them. I dont use lane assist though.
Just my review for what its worth.
Both outstanding cars and a fun video to watch. I drive the T8 and absolutely love it. My runner up choice of car would be Range Rover vogue.
Sorry dumbest test I've seen and learned nothing that would help me decide. Great attempt though. Thanks I'd still go for volvo
It was only intended as a little bit of fun :)
Everybody I know in Canada who has any British automobile literally has to be their own auto mechanic because these cars break down so much and are so expensive to repair. Go with a Volvo or Toyota
I agree they behave like self centered Harry& Megnut most useless video ever
The Volvo is more reliable - everything works most of the time while the Range Rovers I've owned have never had everything working all at once at the same time. Always waiting to go in for something to be fixed. You can't argue with their marketing though
My vote goes for range rover 👍
great review, but i think its a little over exposed (the light)
Anna, Lucy & Matt. Brilliant! Smiling from ear to ear. Excellent to round off the year. For me the Volvo. Even though coming to the end of its life. With the savings buy a Mini Cooper Se! [electric] Why not? More of the Rybrook trio! Cheers.
Thank you Keith 😁
Volvo for me.
What's the point comparing these two vehicles? No one looking to buy a luxury vehicle like a Range Rover is going to be cross shopping it with a brand like Volvo?
It’s a common cross shop, especially the new RR with 7 seat option. Name another 7 seat PHEV SUV……..?
@@3204clivesinclair If you're looking to buy a Luxury SUV, the only options are Range Rover, Rolls Royce or Bentley. If you want one with actual off roading ability, Range Rover is the only option. Volvos, Audis, VWs etc are not in the same league.
That’s not quite true. Friends of mine have swapped their rangy for a XC40. Besides Volvo is in the luxury car segment.
@@danishviking6254 in the current economic climate, I'm sure lots of people are downgrading to Volvos. But that doesn't mean they're in the same league as Range Rovers and Rolls Royces.
@@gc2234 Reliability doesn't mean downgrading. Yes, if you wish to spend more time at the shop but look good on road then RR the obvious choice.
As nice as the range Rover is, I would still take the Volvo firstly on price quality and so I understand reliability is better than the Land Rover 😅
Ha! No chance.
@@santiagodelrio8880 ok so on price top of the range Range Rover maybe what £150.000 ok ill give it it’s better off road but a top of the range volvo xc90 maybe £80.000 and quality to match
I do like the Range Rover but ill go volvo
Just say you can't afford a Range. Ive yet to meet a single person that would WANT to drive a Volvo if they could comfortably afford a Range.
We’ve had both - and the Volvo T8 is in its own league. That’s coming from a previous avid hater of Volvo. However the reality is that, the RRV is miles behind the XC90. RR are so cheaply made and badly built, the Volvo on the other hand is at the opposite end of the spectrum. We were so shocked I can’t tell you how much.
@santiagodelrio8880 Buying a Range? Just tell me you can't afford a Bentley. How far will that logic take you?
My XC90 has massaging seats wtf 😳
I prefer the BMW X5 45e
Why.. just why bother with this sort of activity?
No comparison. Range Rover by a mile.
The Range Rover will spend more time in dealership with faults than the Volvo.
Don't agree with that and I've had both.
Same tired cliché. Have you owned either?
Most people saying all the cliches are referring to models from 20 years ago. I am not saying Range is flawless, but I would say they are comparable. Wildcard = V4 by volvo is quite new and has to prove itself…
5 years Range rover never had a problem.
Silly comparison. They aren’t the same price point. Volvo is £78k Range Rover £108k.
but xc90 better :)
The Xc90 is clearly better
I th
