Volvo will push the mega crossover or will be named Embla

According to foreign media reports, Volvo Cars' next-generation flagship crossover will be a pure electric vehicle model, which will take over the role played by the current XC90.

Volvo Cars is currently transitioning to a pure electric brand, and in future products, they will no longer use digital naming for new models. The company's chief executive, Hakan Samuelsson, said late last year that the name of the new crossover would "begin with a vowel letter."

Last October, Volvo Cars applied for trademark protection for the name Embla. In Norse mythology, Embla was the first woman's name. Volvo Cars spokesman Russell Datz declined to confirm whether the Embla was the name of the new model. He said last week: "The name is just speculation from the outside world, and we have not made any decision at this time." ”

The all-new large crossover will be manufactured at the company's assembly plant in South Carolina, U.S.A., and will arrive at the sales showroom in early 2023. The new car is likely to borrow from The Concept Recharge, a prototype of Volvo Cars that the company's electric vehicles will be modeled on for years to come.

The batteries of the next generation of Volvo electric cars will be located under the flat floor, an arrangement that allows designers to extend the wheelbase and create more space inside the car. In addition, the design lowers the height of the hood and roof, improving aerodynamics without sacrificing the sight of the interior members. The Concept Recharge concept car has a 15-inch touch screen inside and a floating screen behind the steering wheel, and the car's engine system uses the company's newly developed operating system.

The new crossover will also introduce an "unsupervised" self-driving system, a feature that will be available on a subscription basis and will only be available on highways at the outset. Alexander Petrofski, head of strategy at Volvo Cars, said earlier this month: "After activation, customers can relax, text and even watch YouTube videos. As long as the system is used properly, Volvo Cars will be solely responsible for the power of the vehicle. ”
