As a benchmark for luxury medium and large SUVs, volvo XC90 has always been the first choice for many consumers to buy a car with its excellent car experience. However, the current XC90 has been on the market for many years, and with the entry of lincoln aviators and other models, it can be said that it is a bit inadequate.
To this end, Volvo is currently preparing for the development of the next generation of XC90 models, and just recently the foreign media exposed the renderings of the new models, so what are the highlights?
The new XC90 picture exposed this time is based on volvo's latest development plan and design ideas, which can be seen that the new car continues the iconic Quake lamp group, while the burly and tough body lines have also been continued, looking more atmospheric.
The difference is that its front face adopts a closed design similar to the Volvo C40, and the components such as grilles and wheels are low-drag shapes, so there is news that the new car may become a pure electric model.

In fact, some insiders have pointed out that Volvo will comprehensively promote the development of pure electric vehicle models in the future, and the family flagship XC90 may be replaced by a new pure electric model XC100 in the future, and the new car picture exposed this time may be the model. As for whether a fuel version can be launched in the future, it is not known for the time being.
According to the latest data, Volvo sold more than 156,000 units in the Chinese market from January to November this year, achieving a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. And it's worth noting that RECHARGE model sales accounted for 26% of global third-quarter sales.
This fully reflects that consumers have more trust in Volvo's new energy models, which gives Volvo the impetus to develop pure electric vehicle models in an all-round way.

According to Volvo's official plan, the brand aims to achieve global sales of 1.2 million vehicles by 2025, and the proportion of pure electric models should exceed 50%. By 2030, Volvo will be fully transformed into a pure electric vehicle company, and the fuel model will be completely discontinued, which is in line with Volvo's consistent pursuit of environmental protection as a Swedish car company.
At present, Volvo has begun to transform its factories in Taizhou, China and Ghent, Belgium, into a base specializing in the production of pure electric models, with an annual output of more than 150,000 vehicles.
And in the future, Volvo will also use the partnership with Geely Group to launch the first model based on the SEA architecture, or a new entry model for the long-rumored Volvo C20.
There is no doubt that pure electric is the main development direction of the future of major car companies, although the pure electric model looks relatively simple in the professor's view, but in fact, it is adjusting and experiencing a thousand differences. As for whether Volvo can continue its advantage as an established luxury car company? This is naturally something to look forward to!
