WATCH: The sexiest Volvo you can find in Mzansi | The Citizen

But, the really beauty of the Beast, no pun intended, lies in its performance. This plug-in hybrid, which is already the fastest non-electric Volvo SUV with total system outputs of 340 kW of power and 709 Nm of torque, is also equipped with thePolestar software gives it faster engine response, more rapid gear shifts, better control during cornering, improved balance in the corners and better launch traction.

To add some bark to the bite, Beast 2.0 features a sports exhaust system from Heico Sportiv. The system made from stainless steel frees up yet more power and comes complete with active flap control which results in very sporty exhaust notes. Bystanders weren’t the only ones drooling during this one-of-a-kind XC60’s weeklong stay with us. We were salivating inside the cabin too.offers a very sporty drive, Beast 2.0 is simply exhilarating. You constantly have to remind yourself that with its faster engine response, excellent cornering ability and exhaust notes that you are not driving a German performance SUV with an M in its title.

And while this kind of performance will thrill any petrolhead, it’s still got all the benefits from being a plug-in hybrid which battery and electric can give a green range of up to 81 km. While it’s an excellent effort from Volvo so showcase all the tricks they have in the bag, it’s a gigantic pity there is only of these beauties on our roads.
