Hey EcoWarriorLisa, do you know if the battery range holds up well over time? Been burned by early degradations before. Cheers!

QuestionMark?, both models have seen slight improvements in fuel efficiency due to the mild hybrid system. Definitely a more eco-conscious option than purely gasoline engines.

GearheadGerry, I’ve driven the T8 and can say it’s impressive, especially the seamless transition between electric and hybrid modes. Worth checking out.

Trying to make an eco-friendly choice here.

Volvo always has a way of blending luxury with functionality.

I’m skeptical about its performance metrics.

Seems like eco-friendly always translates to wallet-unfriendly.

Does anyone have first-hand experience they could share?
