Volvo’s Swedes are about to enter a new era, the one that the manufacturer has been announcing for years and that is about to materialize. The firm, which has announced a third fully electric SUV, is preparing 14 models whose trade names have been registered.
The new Volvo EXC90 will be unveiled in a few weeks. This has already been confirmed by the Swedish brand, advancing what will be the third SUV in the range of 100% electric models, and the medium-term replacement for the combustion flagship. An important step forward that begins to give shape to a commercial strategy announced years ago, for which Volvo It stood as the first manufacturer to become a zero-emissions firm before 2030.
Those from Gothenburg have big plans for the future, completely transforming their product offering that will abandon traditional combustion and plug-in hybrids, moving on to electric traction battery powered cars And they will gradually arrive. The new EXC90 will join the XC40 and C40 already on sale, but they will not be the only electric ones, because the brand is preparing nothing less than 14 models more, as the Dutch have pointed out «Authorai».
Volvo electric futures form a complete range
The European patent registry has revealed the commercial names of the next models, which does not mean that all of them will reach the market, but it does reveal very interesting details. For example, the hitherto known as XC20 becomes the EX30a little Fully electric B-SUV which will compete with important rivals such as the future MINI Aceman and the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense.
In the compact range, the revolution is also assured as they will recover two more traditional bodies that have disappeared for a long time with the ES40 Y EV40. The first a sedan and the second a traditional compact or with a more familiar style. The SUVs will bear the badges of EX40 Y EXC40although for now the difference between them due to the trade name is a mystery, the second can bet on a more sporty body style or on the “Cross Country”.
Segments D and E will also have the ES60, EV60, EX60 Y EXC60, which means that the brand will retain the current structure and will not give up the more familiar bodywork either. In the high range, to the new EX90 will be added ES90, EV90 Y EXC90. The brand will use two platforms, the “SEA” of the Geely Asians for the smallest and these plus eight larger ones will be developed in the “SPA 2”, equipped with powerful batteries that, in the case of the most luxurious, will offer up to 700 kilometers of autonomy.
