Volvo revives XC70 nameplate for new hybrid SUV with 200km electric range

Volvo Cars introduced the all-new XC70, a mid-size extended-range plug-in hybrid SUV, in 2025 targeting primarily the Chinese market.
Volvo revived the XC70 nameplate, dormant since 2016, to address growing demand for long-range plug-in hybrids especially in China, reflecting a regionalisation strategy.
The XC70 delivers a pure electric driving distance reaching approximately 124 miles, featuring the new SMA platform that integrates fast charging with a fuel-efficient combustion engine for versatile usage.
Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson described the XC70 as the company’s deliberate move into the long-range plug-in hybrid market, serving as an important step toward achieving full electric vehicle adoption.
The XC70 serves to balance Volvo’s portfolio by offering a versatile, longer-range alternative for customers not ready for fully electric cars, with more market details to be revealed later in 2025.
