Volvo XC70 will return to the market this year. The off-road model will change dramatically and become electrified.

The new fourth-generation Volvo XC70 is revealed on the official website of the Swedish automaker.

The model will undergo significant changes, because now it is not a station wagon of high cross-country ability, but a crossover. By the way, earlier Subaru followed the same path, turning the off-road station wagon Outback into a crossover. The car will be produced in China.

The first official photos show that the design of the Volvo XC70 2026 is in the modern style of the Swedish brand. The auto is very reminiscent of the Volvo EX90 electric crossover.

The exterior is dominated by facets. The Volvo XC70 crossover has received branded T-shaped headlights (with matrix optics) and lights in the rear roof pillars.

The basis of the car is the Volvo SMA platform. It is stated that the new auto will be bigger and more spacious than the Volvo XC60 crossover.

For the Volvo XC70 2026 they are preparing an all-new electrified setup. The wheels of the car will rotate electric motors, and the gasoline engine will act as a generator. It is noted that the range in purely electric mode will be about 200 km, also the auto will support fast charging.

We recall that the off-road station wagon Volvo XC70 was produced from 1997 to 2016. There are three generations of this model.
