Volvo has announced a new addition to its hybrid range. Technically, it is a return, as the XC70 is the model in question that is back, except this time as a midsize SUV that is also a Volvo first by being the company’s first plug-in hybrid with an extended range.
We are told that this iteration of the XC70 has a pure electric range of up to 200 kilometers, with a full range not specified. What is noted is that the electric element and fast-charging capabilities should allow most users to carry out their daily activities without exhaust emissions and while operating at a lower cost. The internal combustion engine side of the car can then be saved for longer trips, where users may be more concerned about finding easily accessible charging points.
As for the design, Volvo adds that it has a Scandinavian theme with a shield-like closed grille that matches the design of Thor’s Hammer to create a “bolder expression.” to be. It has headlights using Matrix LED technology and taillights that come in a vertical C-shape, plus a flowing roofline and sculpted shoulders.
More information about the car is expected to be shared in the coming months.
