Stick the T8 into Power drive mode at a junction and you'll get instance response and a good kick. The electric motor may only be ~80HP on the rear wheels but the torque and response gets the car going before the supercharged petrol engine responds and helps out.
In hybrid mode it can be a bit slower to get off the mark but I wonder how relatively this is in reality? Volvo produces quiet, refined cars, that tends to mean you don't get the engine and road noise indicating a fast gateway. I'm sure any of the models would beat most mass produced, lower powered cars off the mark in the 0-30 sprint
