Hybrids aren't boring. A great example: the 2020 Volvo XC60 T8 eAWD Polestar.
Long name aside, the Polestar version of the XC60 takes the XC60 T8 eAWD Plug-in Hybrid and, through some Swedish techo-wizardy, adds more power. While Volvo claims that the Polestar version of the XC60 makes 415 combined horsepower, the 316 horsepower the engine makes without the electric engine is probably closer to what most drivers will experience in the day to day.
That engine sounds like something a 10-year-old might come up with: It's a 2.0-liter inline-four that's turbocharged, then supercharged and then joined to an electric motor for good measure.
