  "account": "Volvo has announced an increase in battery capacity for the 2028 XC60 and XC90 plug-in SUVs. The company provided flights and accommodation to Ars to showcase the refreshed vehicles. The XC60, which has sold over 2.7 million units globally, and the three-row XC90 are receiving the update. While the exterior styling changes are subtle, the new plug-in hybrid powertrain significantly boosts the real-world electric range. The SUVs feature \"Thor's Hammer\" headlights with matrix LED projectors and a redesigned front grille. Inside, there's a new ventilated leather option and an improved 11.2-inch infotainment system with a Gemini personal assistant for voice control. The new Gemini voice assistant performs better than its predecessor.",
