Why doesn't Jeep come out of the car, all SUV mainly attack the market, can't it? Other than that, why doesn't Volvo push the MPV? Don't you want to? Whether it is a household MPV or a business MPV, there should still be a certain consumer market.
Recently, according to our latest understanding from relevant channels, foreign media exposed a set of renderings of Volvo's first MPV, and according to the official plan, the new car is expected to be officially launched as soon as 2023. And it is almost certain that the new car will be jointly built by Geely and Volvo in the future.
From the rendering, the new car is still Volvo's classic family design, but more precisely, this front face is highly similar to the Volvo XC60, blackened straight waterfall grille, Quake headlights, and also equipped with multi-spoke hubs and double-sided sliding doors, from the perspective of maintaining a high ground clearance, more like the result of XC60 skin pull.
As for the power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged + 48V light hybrid fuel engine, and a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T + electric motor, which is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and some models are expected to provide a four-wheel drive system, but do not rule out the possibility of launching a pure electric version in the future.
It is certain that volvo does not have an MPV car platform at present, but it does not mean that there will be no future, especially the intimate relationship with Geely now, it is not difficult to change it, for example, it is not difficult to adjust and upgrade the basis of S90, but if it is to take the road of Weiran, it is not necessary to transform it by the Tuang SUV platform.
If you take the Gili Jiaji to change it, with volvo's line, there may still be market demand. But for now, Volvo has S series sedans, XC series SUVs and V series station wagons, if you engage in home MPV, whether it will seize the market with station wagons in the future is really difficult to say.
Written in the end: Volvo was almost dead, but since Geely's acquisition, the market value has directly increased tenfold, so the Geely Volvo MPV is also just around the corner.
