In the context of the gradual diversification of domestic consumer car scenes, MPV has become a new track for major automobile manufacturers, so it can be seen that Toyota, Hyundai and other manufacturers have launched new MPV models in the Chinese market, but there is little noise in luxury brands.
Recently, however, there has been good news: Volvo will launch its first MPV model, and the renderings have been exposed.
Recently, foreign media released a set of renderings of Volvo's new models, which said that this will be the brand's first MPV model and is expected to be named Trace.
As can be seen from the pictures, the new car adopts the Volvo family-style design language, the Thor headlights, shield-like net light elements have been continued, and the body lines are relatively simple, which is in line with Volvo's consistent Nordic aesthetic.
The difference is that the new car is not a tough MPV model like the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, and its overall style is more like a fusion of volvo XC90 and V90, which has a crossover flavor. However, side sliding doors have been added for potential home scenes and the ground spacing has been reduced to provide a better comfort experience.
In fact, the news is not out of the blue, because as early as this month's CES 2022 show, Volvo brought a Recover Concept concept car as a showcase. And the design of this model is similar to the rendering, or it is the birth of Volvo's first MPV model.
As can be seen through the concept car, this new car will adopt a standard Nordic design, minimalist color matching and lines set off a strong sense of luxury, and the 15-inch vertical central control screen can also adapt to the current era of technology.
However, the most noteworthy place at present will be the power aspect, because according to volvo officials, this new car will be based on the SPA2 platform, will be the first native pure electric model, as to whether it is a rumored new MPV model, this still needs more news to confirm.
Mercedes V-Class
Looking at the current luxury brand market, few have launched MPV models in the Chinese market, most of which have flowed to the 500,000 yuan class Mercedes-Benz V-Class, and the rest of the Audi and other brands are not available for MPV models, which may be a major reason why Volvo chose to launch MPV models.
Volvo V90
And Volvo said in the previous overseas media interview that the future V series and S series models will be replaced by new cross-border models, as to whether the exposed models are one of them, I believe this is worth consumers to look forward to, if this model is a big success, then it may set off a wave of luxury brands MPV.
It is reported that the new car is expected to be unveiled in 2023, if it is really Volvo's first MPV model, then the professor believes that many people will choose it. So the question is, if this model is pure electric, I don't know if you will still like it?
