Towards rechargeable hybrid record autonomy?:
Contrary to what initially suggested the Volvo strategy aimed at a 100% electric range by 2030. Moreover, petrol engines will continue beyond the deadline. For example, The Swedish manufacturer. However, in a recent announcement of its president, confirmed that his large SUV XC90 will be entitled to a third generation and will retain a rechargeable hybrid mechanics. For example, This could offer more than 180 km of electric autonomy.
Volvo’s objective to completely abandon combustion mechanics for 2030. For example, undoubtedly optimistic given the realities of the electric market, was recently tempered by Hakan Samuelsson, the new boss of the brand. Consequently, The reasons for this strategic prudence are pragmatic: customers are jostling less than expected on the side of the 100% electric premium. In addition, and the career of the ex90, supposed to replace the XC90, starts timidly, and with towards rechargeable hybrid record autonomy? almost two years late. Moreover, We should therefore always find electrified petrol engines under the Volvo hoods until 2040which leaves room for a replacement. for the current XC90. For the record. he received the second restyling since its launch since its launch, which dates back to the beginning of 2015 …. displays stable sales figures: to 108,621 copies sold last year (slightly increase), the XC90 remains the third most broadcast model of the brand worldwide. The Mercedes Gle. other BMW X5 rival has enviable health despite its more than 10 years of service, and should play extensions for a few years. Volvo has not announced any official deadline for its replacement.
The XC90 renewed for 2027? – Towards rechargeable hybrid record autonomy?
The XC90 SPA technical base being all the same aging. it is hard to imagine Volvo attempt to break longevity records with this architecture. The recent new features of the Geely group. the parent company, towards rechargeable hybrid record autonomy? deliver some clues to the underside of its replacement: the new SMA modular platform, Inaugurated by the Lynk & Co 08 (just landed in Europe), and taken up by the XC70 intended for the Chinese market – nothing to do with the raised break that we know! -. could find an additional application with the future XC90 in stride, a priori by 2027, according to the product plan of Volvo and the calendar of industrial priorities. The renewal of the little brother XC60, scheduled for next year, will come before.
Volvo should logically resume the powertrain (composed of a 1.5 L 4-cylinder combined with an electric motor of 208 hp) and the electrical system of its Geely cousins. If the range is modeled on the XC70. the third generation of the XC90 will offer an LFP (Lithium-Fer-Phosphate) battery of 21.2 kWh (LFP), allowing about 100 km of electrical autonomy. More spectacular, towards rechargeable hybrid record autonomy? it could especially inherit a huge NMC (Nickel-Mangansis-Cobalt) battery of almost 40 kWh gross (against 18.8 kWh for the current XC90). This capacity. record for a plug-in hybrid in the same way as on the Smart #5, would allow the future large Swedish SUV to curl the 200 km of electrical autonomy. For comparison, on the competition side, the 31.2 kWh of a Mercedes Gle 350e or the 38 kWh of the Range Rover Phev seemed to us already …. when taxation and regulations lead to a heavy flight forward, with a generalized obsession with embedded KWH which has accelerated in recent years.
