The new Volvo XC70 SUV is Volvo Cars’ first long-range plug-in hybrid, offering an all-electric driving range of over 200km under the CLTC testing cycle – the longest of any Volvo plug-in hybrid to date.
Blending the latest technology, advanced safety and Scandinavian design, the new XC70 is a perfect choice for families seeking a more comfortable and relaxed lifestyle without compromising on performance or capability.
Built on Volvo Cars’ new Scalable Modular Architecture (SMA) platform for long-range plug-in hybrids, the new XC70 represents an essential addition to the company’s product lineup.
It is designed to meet growing demand for longer-range plug-in hybrids, particularly in China, where customers can now pre-order the car. Volvo Cars also plans to bring the vehicle to Europe at a later stage.
The XC70 is equipped with fast charging technology, enabling it to charge from 0 to 80 per cent in just 23 minutes. Additionally, the car’s bi-directional charging capacity allows it to function as a power bank for other electric devices, such as outdoor and camping appliances.
With its long electric range and fast charging capabilities, the XC70 is affordable to drive and emits no tailpipe emissions for most of your everyday commutes. The efficient combustion engine adds the flexibility needed for longer trips, allowing you to drive over 1,200km without the need for charging or refuelling.
Purposefully designed, the Volvo XC70 reflects a modern take on the company’s Scandinavian design heritage. Its strong stance and distinct features present calm confidence and rational simplicity. Sculpted lines run from front to back, while the gently tapered roof and defined shoulder give it a solid yet dynamic look.
At the front, a shield-like closed grille – echoing fully electric Volvo models – is paired with an active grille shutter that automatically adjusts to optimise aerodynamics, cabin climate and cooling. This feature helps to enhance energy efficiency and extend driving range.
At the rear, the vertical C-shaped taillights are smoothly integrated into the rear glass, creating a sleek, modern look that is both eye-catching and functional.
It’s easy to feel at home inside the XC70. Comfortably seated and surrounded by smart storage, both the driver and passengers can enjoy the spacious cabin, which features a clean, timeless Scandinavian design and high-quality materials. The premium touch is evident in every detail, from the media switch to an immersive sound experience, which is carefully tuned to match the car’s interior acoustics.
The XC70 appeals to everyone who values both comfort and performance. Its well-tuned chassis, strong body and well-balanced steering make every journey smooth and enjoyable. With large wheels, high ground clearance and all-wheel drive capability, it’s also ready for more challenging road conditions.
The fast and intelligent infotainment system in the XC70 comes with everything needed for a modern in-car experience, including digital services such as an AI-powered voice assistant that makes it easy to call friends and family, control the car’s functions, and search for information online.
The XC70 features a crisp 12.3-inch driver display and a large free-standing 15.4-inch horizontal centre display – presenting what you need when you need it.
The horizontal format allows the driver to view a large navigation map while still having space for other key functions, making multitasking intuitive and efficient. Additionally, a 92-inch augmented reality head-up display can be selected, offering a more immersive cockpit experience.
For added convenience, many of the car’s functions – such as pre-conditioning of the cabin – can be remotely controlled using the Volvo Cars app. With over-the-air updates, the XC70 remains up to date with the latest software, continually improving over time.
Equipped with Safe Space Technology, the Volvo XC70 is designed to help keep people safe and make them feel safe on every journey.
With advanced sensing technology, including radars, cameras, and sensors, the XC70 can continuously monitor its surroundings and support the driver in helping to avoid or mitigate collisions when needed.
It also features safety measures to help drivers and passengers look out for people around the car in busy urban environments, such as the door opening alert, designed to prevent drivers from opening their doors into the path of cyclists.
For a relaxed driving experience, the XC70 also offers intelligent driver support features, including automatic lane change assist, Park Pilot Assist, and active navigation support.
Production of the new XC70 is already underway, and it is now available to pre-order in China.
