COMPACT ‘XC20’ ON THE WAY

-

As well as electrifyi­ng its existing models, Volvo will extend its line-up at the bottom end to cater to the growing demand for compact EVS.

“There will be more variants on the big car platform – the 90 size – but then there will be something in size 20 coming additional­ly, and that will be a big volume contributi­on to our line-up,” confirmed outgoing Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson.

The ‘XC20’ is set to use Volvo parent company Geely’s SEA platform, as used by the Chinesemar­ket Zeekr 001 shooting brake, making a 430-mileplus range and charging at up to 360kw possible.
