‘200 km’ completely electric
Forget the rougher V70 sold as XC70: this is the brand new Volvo XC70. That is a real SUV, with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that makes a lot of electric kilometers possible.
With the name Volvo XC70 you undoubtedly think of a somewhat higher station wagon with four -wheel drive, but Volvo is involved in the historical relevance of that model name. The Swedes now press it on an SUV, which fits in in terms of size between the XC60 and XC90. That is why that name. Just like its smaller and larger brother, the XC70 comes on the market as a plug-in hybrid, but nice with a totally different powertrain than the two. In fact, the 4.82 meter long Volvo XC70 does not even share its basis with it. The XC70, which already had no surprises in store for us in appearance, is on the SMA basis of parent company Geely. A platform that is specially intended for plug-in hybrid cars with a serious electric action radius. In essence, that is a sequel to the CMA base that we know from the Volvo’s XC40 and C40, for example.
Thick 160 km
Volvo does not yet explain very extensive technical details, but we already caught that there is at least a – not completely surprising – 1.5 four -cylinder on board. This can provide both drive and extra power in the battery. It seems that there will be a version with a single electric motor and one with two electric motors. Looking at the Lynk & Co 08, the strongest version would be four -wheel driven and get a system power of just 600 hp. The Volvo XC70 has sufficient battery capacity to enable a fully electric driving range of 200 km according to the CLTC cycle. That test cycle applies because the XC70 has in principle been developed for China, but Volvo now also announces that the XC70 is also coming to Europe. Count on more than 160 km of electric driving range according to the WLTP cycle used here. According to Volvo, the total driving range electrically and with fuel comes to 1,200 km (CLTC), or almost 1,000 km according to WLTP. Incidentally, the Volvo XC70 does not only get its electricity by using the 1.5 as a generator; You can also simply hang the XC70 on the plug and then the battery can be loaded from 0 to 80 percent in 23 minutes.
Peek inside
Many of the data mentioned above still come from the patent application that we managed to conjure up in May. The wait is therefore for more official figures from Volvo itself. However, this unveiling already offers the possibility to view the interior. That was so far dressed in mists. The Volvo XC70 also fits in terms of the current range in terms of inner. It is a pretty minimalist whole, with the central eye -catcher the centrally placed on the dashboard placed no less than 15.4 inch infotainment screen. For the steering wheel you will find a 12.3-inch digital instruments. Optionally, Volvo offers a head-up display with augmented reality , which covers a no less than 92 inch surface surface.
