After the official release of the first brand-new platform pure electric vehicle-EX90, the official has predicted that the brand will welcome two brand-new pure electric vehicles this year. Judging from the preview information, the new car will adopt a body contour similar to EX90, but the size is slightly smaller than EX90. Foreign media speculated that the new car might be the successor of XC60.
According to the latest information, Volvo has registered the EX60 trademark, which is expected to be the final name of the XC60 pure electric version. The internal code of the new car is "V436" (V is pure electric, 4 is medium-sized, 3 is the third generation, and 6 is SUV product), and the internal code of EX90 is "V536".
In terms of styling, the official only exposed some details of the new car, such as looking at the shadow of the new car from the rear of the car at a 45-degree angle, but it can be found that the height of the new car continues the new EX90, adhering to the design language of the Volvo family, and the taillights will be shaped with vertical dotted lines, with a lower C-shaped light group.
As for the front and side, we still refer to EX90, foreign media rendering. The design of the whole vehicle is the same as that of EX90, but the scale is reduced. We will keep the closed net design, add a brand-new "Raytheon Hammer" LED light group, and replace the side of the car body with a hidden door handle.
Volvo's design from fuel vehicle to pure electric vehicle is highly similar, and it is easy to question whether the car is "oil to electricity", but in fact, EX90 is based on Volvo's new platform SPA 2, which adopts the industry's advanced central electronic and electrical architecture. Strictly speaking, it is a model built on a pure electric platform, including every model to be launched in the future.
In terms of interior, referring to the design of EX90, the new Volvo continues to maintain the layout of family-style vertical control screen, but the design on pure electric products is obviously more concise.
At the same time, as a brand that has always advocated environmental protection, Volvo's interior also uses a large number of natural and traceable environmental protection materials, while the EX60 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, so it will continue to maintain a five-seat layout.
In terms of power, Volvo EX90 adopts dual-motor layout, but distinguishes between high and low power adjustment. The maximum power of the low-power motor is 407, and the maximum torque is 770 Nm. The high-power version has a maximum power of 503 and a maximum torque of 9 10 Nm. It is expected that EX60, as a model with low positioning, will increase the single motor version and lower the threshold for car purchase.
In terms of battery life, the EX90 power model comes standard with a battery pack with a capacity of 1 10 kWh, and the cruising range of the new car is about 467 km and 600 km respectively. It is estimated that the battery life of EX60 is similar, and it will support two charging architectures, 400V and 800V V. ..
Although Volvo is very radical in the electrification strategy, competing products basically have the same level of models in the pure electric market, such as Mercedes-Benz EQC, BMW iX3 and Audi Q5 e-tron. At present, only Audi is built on a pure electric platform.
