The new Volvo
XC70 mid-size SUV is Volvo Cars’ first extended-range plug-in hybrid. It
provides a pure electric range of up to 200 kilometres*, making it Volvo
Cars’ longest-range plug-in hybrid to date.
Built on the new SMA** platform, a premium extended-range plug-in hybrid
architecture, the XC70 represents an important product addition for Volvo
Cars.
The new XC70 is designed to meet the demand for longer-range plug-in hybrids in
China, where it will be available for order later this year. Volvo Cars is
exploring potential additional markets at a later stage.
“The XC70 marks our strategic entry into the
extended-range plug-in hybrid segment, a perfect bridge to full electrification,”
says Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive of Volvo Cars. “It enables
us to maintain and develop a balanced product portfolio, while offering a
highly attractive alternative to customers who are not yet ready for fully
electric cars. This is also an example of regionalisation, where we adapt to
the local market needs.”
With its
extended electric range and fast charging capabilities, the XC70 lets you
handle most daily travel without tailpipe emissions and at a lower cost, while
the efficient combustion engine provides freedom and flexibility for longer
trips.
This means you could travel longer distance without worrying about charging or
refuelling. Combined with its versatility that offers space and comfort
for all passengers, the XC70 is a car for every type of journey.
Modern Scandinavian design
Building on Volvo Cars’ tradition of solid and purposeful design, the new XC70
reflects a modern take on the company’s Scandinavian design heritage. Its
commanding stance and distinct features express calm confidence and rational
simplicity, with seamless lines flowing from front to rear. In combination with
a sweeping roofline, the sculpted shoulder creates a robust yet dynamic
silhouette.
At the front, the shield-like closed grille – inspired by the company’s
all-electric models – is paired with an active grille shutter that adjusts
automatically to optimise aerodynamics, cabin climate and cooling. This
feature contributes to improved energy efficiency, which in turn extends
driving range.
The signature Thor’s Hammer design has evolved to a bolder expression, and just
below these daytime running lights, the XC70 features headlights with Matrix
LED technology. It allows the headlights to adjust intelligently to road and
traffic situations, which helps to improve both visibility and safety.
Towards the rear, the vertical C-shaped taillights are seamlessly integrated
into the rear glass, creating a flush, contemporary appearance that is both
striking and functional.
The new XC70 shares its name with one of Volvo’s most iconic cars. When the
original XC70 was first introduced, it was an adventurous evolution from the
more traditional V70 estate. The name reflects its character: a versatile
family car, ready for all kinds of adventures. The new XC70 continues this
legacy in a mid-size SUV format, slightly larger and more spacious than the
Volvo XC60.
More details about the new XC70 will be revealed in the coming months, so stay
tuned.
