Big brother of XC70?
The recently returned Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson has made an important unveiling. He states that a new Volvo XC90 is coming. It will then only take a while and will probably be driven less traditionally.
Although Volvo has taken quite a few steps in the electric area, it also realizes that cars with a fuel engine will remain necessary for the time being. “The electric market is not growing as fast as we had thought a few years ago,” he admits during the presentation of the latest financial figures. For that reason, according to him, Volvo also looks at intermediate roads, for example with plug-in hybrid cars. That is also the recently facing Volvo XC90, but Volvo XC70, which is only for China, is already taking a lot more modern. “That is more of an electric car with a fuel engine such as backup, then a plug-in hybrid. I think so in the future I think so,” said Samuelsson.
So it seems quite likely that the XC70 will eventually also come this way. But, says the 74-year-old CEO, “We look at different options with different cars. It is useful for those who want to drive electrically, but don’t want to be afraid of an empty battery.” One of those cars could be the new Volvo XC90. Because yes, it is coming. If Samuelsson is asked about the possible American production of the Volvo XC90 in the distant future, he responds with a smile: “One day we need a new XC90, because that (the current one, ed.) Was already launched in 2015. We cannot say anything concrete about it for the time being.”
The new Volvo XC90 could be related to the aforementioned XC70. It is on the brand new Scalable Modular Architecture basic and that platform, as the name suggests, is scalable. A larger model must be possible. In the 4.82 meter long Volvo XC70 is both a 1.5 four -cylinder and one or two electric motors. You can drive around 200 km fully electrically, but the fuel engine can help for extra power and/or if the batteries are emptying. Lynk & Co 08, also intended for the Netherlands, is on the same basis and uses the same technology. The scoop will probably no longer have the XC90 anymore, but there are undoubtedly still people to be welcomed to welcome a third generation XC90.
