Even with the battery "drained", you never lose the 455 hp. First, there is always a battery reserve with Volvo, and the motor has a generator that can also charge the batteries too so the electric motor always has power.

@@ftcryan ....all plug-in cars lose power when they have the battery "empty". Especially when you floor it for a long period of time (racing). The generators are powered by the internal combustion engine which has only 315hp. If you know some physics then it should be clear for you that it's impossible to generate 455hp with a 315hp source.

@Eugen E I never claimed you can generate 455 hp out of a 315 hp motor. What I'm trying to explain is when the system shows a "zero" range or empty battery, you haven't lost the 455 hp as the system still has 4 kWh of energy in reserve to access and power the electric motor. The engine will start to charge the batteries when showing a zero range too. In theory, could you completely drain the system by continually flooring it and not letting up and eating into that reserve, yeah, and at that point, you are running solely off the ice engine. A couple 1/4 races won't eat up that whole reserve though

XC60 no longer has a supercharger. The 455 hp models are turbo only, but they have a stronger electric motor, larger battery pack and almost double EV range compared to their earlier T8 siblings that have superchargers.

Not sure why you were messing with all the other random settings… especially having put the car in power but then changing the battery setting to “HOLD.” Hold stops using any battery power and *holds* the battery charge percentage to be used at a later date. Essentially you put the car in sport mode and then turned off battery performance… the car would have been even quicker.

I guess, that is not correct comparison, cause 1. RX is full hybrid, Volvo- is plug in. 2. The weight of both cars. Lexus is heavier 3. Correct class and sizes comparison, will should be between XC90 and RX. 4. HP & Torq, I think no any comments, cause it can't be matched.5. If you want to make a drag, you should launch a race with 2 pedals, for running gas engine before you starting.

beautiful looks, Lexus vehicles are notoriously slow.

In 5 years check which one is more reliable and keeps better value. We all know that Lexus, the faster a car, the closer you are to a speeding ticket, and that's not counting the chances of an accident. I prefer quality over speed.

Toyota and Honda are trying to out due each other in terms who can build the ugliest cars in automotive history.

As much as I love Toyota/Lexus, they really disappointed us RX owners with the new 500H. Instead of dropping from a 3.3L 6 cylinder to a turbo charged 4 cylinder, they should have went with a super charged V6. Recently I test drove the 500, and I was extremely disappointed on horsepower and speed, including the launch. For the first time in decades, i'm actually considering switching to Acura, and from what I hear, I'm not the only disappointed RX owner considering switching over to something else. When I recently test drove the 500, it was a major disappointment compared to my high mileage 2008 400H. I'm not sure where they are coming up with these 0-60 and horsepower numbers, because my 2008 would smoke the 500 without breaking a sweat 🤣
