MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Volvo shows off its second twin engine plug-in electric hybrid at the New York International Auto Show.

Twin engine means a traditional gasoline powered motor coupled with an all electric propulsion.

The S90 Inscription, as the automaker calls it, is an all-wheel-drive luxury sedan that can travel approximately 25-miles on all-electric power before that gas engine kicks in.
