This has been done to reduce emissions according to my dealer.
So whilst you are getting a more powerful electric engine and better range you are also losing 50ish hp from the petrol side

I can't find any confirmation of this on-line, in fact, all data published by Volvo
here and in the official MY22 brochure, states 253bhp for the ICE and 145bhp the electric..
My understanding is that the full 145bhp power of the electric engine is only accessible in pure electric mode with the T6 drive train, and is limited in power mode to achieve the 350bhp max.
