In the coming year, Volvo will also be bringing its compact SUV bestseller XC40 as an all-electric model. Two plug-in hybrid variants are also to follow.
Volvo plans to present the XC40 compact SUV in a battery-electric drive variant this year. The first purely electrically powered model from the Swedes will then come onto the market in 2020, in addition to the “2” model from Volvo subsidiary Polestar.

The Swedish manufacturer has now confirmed this again after it was announced two years ago when the XC40 was presented.
Polestar sedan platform
Technical details have not yet been revealed. But like the Polestar 2, the electric XC40 will also be based on the new CMA platform and will therefore probably share the electric drive technology with it. The top version of the Polestar sedan has two electric motors with a total of 408 hp and a 78 kWh battery, which should enable a range of over 500 kilometers. However, the performance of the XC40 should be significantly lower.
Volvo is also planning two plug-in hybrid versions for the XC40. Initially, the part-time stream with a plug will be available as a T5 and later as a T4 twin engine. In the case of the T5, the drive will combine a 180 hp 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with a 75 hp electric motor. In addition to better driving performance, the hybrid of gasoline and electric motor enables a purely electric range of over 50 kilometers. (SP-X)
