Here is the new Volvo electric car, which plans to send heavy

Orders will open there From next November 12, Date of official revelation. However, it is not excluded that the latter one day makes the road to us. The most convincing example is, for example, the new Denza D9, a minivan designed for the Chinese market, but which will finally arrive in Europe during the Munich show in September. A perfect rival for the Swedish.

Volvo tripled its 100 % electric car sales in May

Volvo Cars reports 60,398 cars sold in May worldwide, 31 % more than a year ago, when the results were negatively affected by a drop in production due to the constraints of the 2021 supply chain. In the first five months of 2023, the company sold 275,312 cars or an increase of 14 % from one year to the next.

Sales of rechargeable electric cars increase even faster. Last month, Volvo sold 23,967 rechargeable hybrids, 55 % more than a year and almost 40 % of the total volume.

One of the most interesting things is that fully electric car sales have almost tripled (up 196%) to reach 10,826 units, while sales of rechargeable hybrid cars have only increased by 11%, for reach 13 141. Little by little, electricity is getting closer and closer to hybrids.

Volvo recharge result:

Electric : 10,826 (up 196 %) and 17.9 % market share
Rechargeable hybrids : 13,141 (up 11 %) and 21.8 % market share
Total : 23,967 (up 55 %) and 39.7 %

So far this year, sales of Volvo rechargeable cars have been up to almost 112,000 (up 34 % from one year to the next), which also represents 41 % of the total volume.

Volvo sales recharged since the start of the year:

Electric : 49,725 (up 148 %) and 18.1 % market share
Rechargeable hybrids : 62,273 (down 1.5 %) and 22.6 %
Total : 111,998 (up 34 %) and 40.7 %

For reference, in 2022, Volvo sold more than 205,000 rechargeable electric cars, or 33 % of the total volume.

This year, sales of Volvo recharging cars could exceed 250,000, or even reach 300,000, if growth accelerates to 50 %.

Geographically, as usual, most of the Volvo rechargeable cars were sold in Europe. There are 16,481 in May (up 87 % in annual shift), where they represent 63 % of the total volume.

In the United States, during the same month, rechargeable car sales decreased 9 % in annual shift to 3,039. This represents around 28 % of total sales.

Meanwhile, sales of rechargeable electric cars increased by 116 % in China to reach 1,181 (around 8 % of the total). In terms of models, the Volvo range includes two fully electric models: the Volvo C40 refill and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. Both will soon receive more efficient new versions (in the United States, rear propulsion models will probably be the most interesting).

Here is the new Volvo electric car, which plans to send heavy

After the ex90 and ex30, Volvo announces the upcoming arrival of a brand new electric car. The latter will take the form of a new minivan, which will be above all designed for China. But nothing excludes an arrival in Europe a little later.

Volvo has not been unemployed lately. If the firm already offers two electric models in its range, namely the C40 and the XC40 recharging, this is still a little light. Indeed, the firm plans to no longer market thermal cars from 2030, five years before the deadline imposed by the European Union.

An unprecedented silhouette

It is in this context that the Swedish company lifted the veil a few months earlier on its large ex90, which will eventually replace the current XC90 still marketed in hybrid. More recently, it was also the turn of the little ex30 to see the light of day, offering a new alternative to the two compact SUVs mentioned above.

But the manufacturer obviously cannot only rest on this. This is why he is preparing to reveal a brand new model in the coming months. An announcement that is not really a surprise, since some rumors were already talking about the arrival of an unprecedented vehicle in the range of the Scandinavian brand. But what is it ?

Last July, prototypes from a future electric minivan had been seen in China, stirring the curiosity of Internet users. And we are now clear, it is the next Volvo model that it is. This information has just been confirmed by the manufacturer himself in a press release just published. And good news, the latter is accompanied by a short video.

This allows us to discover very partially The one that will bear the name of EM90. An appellation which already gives us some indications on this vehicle, which should display a template close to the ex90. For the record, the latter is more than five meters long and measures 1.96 meters wide for 1.74 meters high. A beautiful baby in short, with, as a reminder, a weight of more than 2.8 tonnes on the scale.

A habitable minivan

But this time, point of SUV since this newcomer is described as a MPV (Multi purpose vehicle)), better known by the name “minivan” home. If this segment is no longer really fashionable in our regions, this EM90 is in fact not intended to please us. At least not immediately. And for good reason, Volvo specifies that it is the Chinese market which is first targeted.

Orders will open there From next November 12, Date of official revelation. However, it is not excluded that the latter one day makes the road to us. The most convincing example is, for example, the new Denza D9, a minivan designed for the Chinese market, but which will finally arrive in Europe during the Munich show in September. A perfect rival for the Swedish.

For the moment, the information about it is still rare, but we already know that the latter will bet above all on his habitability. Besides, he should share certain characteristics with the Zeekr 009, the firm is also part of the Geely group. We should therefore logically find the SEA base and the same engine, with Two engines of 271 horsepower, in front and back. And a weight of more than 2.8 tonnes also…

Two Qilin CTP 3 batteries.0 should be proposed, with a capacity of 116 or 140 kWh, offering autonomy revolving around 660 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle. It remains to know the maximum power and the charging time, while this pack can in theory be Filled in ten minutes on a quick terminal, like that of 500 kW developed by Nio and installed in Sweden as well as in China.
