Volvo XC70 Plug-In Hybrid SUV Front

Volvo is reviving the XC70 nearly a decade after the rugged wagon was discontinued and replaced by the V60 Cross Country. The new XC70 will be larger and built on Volvo's latest Scalable Modular Architecture (SMA), a platform designed for long-range plug-in hybrids. As of now, Volvo has not confirmed a launch timeline for the XC70 PHEV in India. However, the plug-in hybrid will be available for orders in China later this year, marking its initial market debut. Availability in other regions, including India, is expected to follow in subsequent phases, though specific dates remain unannounced. Read on for more details.

Volvo XC70 Plug-In Hybrid: Looks

Even though it's now an SUV instead of a wagon, the new Volvo XC70 aims to live up to its predecessor's reputation as a reliable family vehicle. It expands upon the XC60's dimensions, offering a more generous cabin, and has design similarities with the EM90 and EX90.

Unlike the more robust XC90, the XC70’s sleeker lines and angled rear window contribute to a more dynamic silhouette.

At the front, matrix LED headlights subtly tuck beneath the iconic Thor’s Hammer daytime running lights and are flanked by a bold closed grille. The design flows into the rear where the C-shaped taillights are embedded in the glass, enhancing both aerodynamics and presence.

Volvo XC70 Plug-In Hybrid: Powertrain

Volvo hasn't revealed the XC70's powertrain details, but it has mentioned a 200-kilometre electric range (CLTC). The new model is expected to feature a battery larger than the XC60 PHEV’s 18.8 kWh, likely resulting in enhanced electric-only driving range. Fast-charging capabilities will be part of the package, although full specifications remain under wraps.

Volvo globally introduced the updated S90 sedan last month, featuring a refreshed exterior design and advanced tech features. The facelifted model will be available for order in China this summer, with other regions expected to receive it shortly after. In India, however, the pre-facelift version remains available at a price of Rs 68.25 lakh (ex-showroom), with no confirmation yet on when the updated model will arrive.
