This is not the Excellence version, but a full size SUV, of course, more expensive than XC90.

The success of Volvo Cars is global. Achieving the promised record goal of 800 000 sold cars a year to 2020 does not seem at all impossible. To continue to grow, a fully sjusitsig SUV is also planned for North America and China.
Rumors that Volvo would develop an even bigger SUV than the current XC90 (internal codename V526) has Florerat ever since the first generation (P28) debuted 2002. Early on it was seen that the XC90 was a number too small compared to the competitors, mainly in the United States. But tight budget during previous Ford ownership meant that the people of Gothenburg had to choose to develop other - more important - cars instead of a mega-SUV.
In connection with Chinese Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's takeover of Volvo spring 2010 , future model matrix was planned about substantially. Then CEO Stefan Jacoby together with development manager Peter Mertens, both from Germany, drew up new guidelines where the SPA platform would form the basis for the major model Series 60 and 90. Flexibility and efficiency were watchwords, the SPA is also a base for completely different types of cars - everything from hybrid-sports car Polestar 1 To lyxlimousinen S90L Excellence.

The SPA 2 platform will be the foundation for the next generation of large Volvo and Polestar cars, with it well prepared for electric drive. In order to compete with big Cadillac Escalad and Lincoln Navigator It is required that the XC100 extends. A length of at least 5.2 meters.
SPA 2 called the upcoming replacement platform as the next generation of large cars from Volvo (and Polestar) will be built on - adapted for global production in Europe, USA and China. European competitors like BMW X7, Mercedes GLS and Range Rover LWB are still refreshing Volvo to build a full-sized SUV with hefty dimensions. The SUV trend is stronger than ever when manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce and even Lotus establish themselves in the segment. The United States also sells Cadillac Escalae, Infiniti QX80, Lexus LX 570 and, for example, Lincoln Navigator too well for Volvo Cars to refrain from stepping on the MEGASUV train.
The project "V616" within Volvo Cars means according to the internal Utvecklingsnomenklaturen: 6-largest car type, 1-first generation, 6-SUV/crossover. Project V616 is supposed to be able to premiere appears sometime 2022-23, then as Volvo XC100. The Exteriörmåtten becomes sturdy with Swedish standards: axle spacing at 3.1 meters, length of 5.2 meters, 1.8 meters high and two meters wide, a hefty piece simply. Did we hear the nickname "Volvo Sow" again?
SPA 2 is prepared for different degrees of electrification: mild hybrid, hybrid and as battery-elbil. Värstingversionen "T12 Multi Engine" with Tvåliters VEA Drive-E gasoline engine plus three electric motors (one front, two rear) get more than 600 horsepower but drivlinemässigt will of course milder options.

Much of the design is taken from the autonomous concept car Volvo 360c. Count on turgid dimensions.
In design terms, the style managers - German Thomas Ingenlath, Englishman Robin Page together with Österrikefödde Maximilian Missoni - will continue on the wrapped line with balanced, well-balanced design. Just design has become a strong core value of "The new" Kinesägda Volvo Cars, but expect a tougher attitude such as the concept car 360c exhibited.
The interior stepper XC100 up further design with, above all, Scandinavian style grips and material choices. "Stripped-down luxury" is a mantra that sells and Volvo customers have taken in the new, more luxurious style of hull and hair. Also count on a sexsitsig version of XC100 for the extra comfortable comfort cruise, something that is specially sought in China with its long distances and increasingly dense traffic. However, the current XC90 will be pre-configured with its configuration. XC100 is, of course, prepared - Like all future Volvo - for different degrees of autonomous self-driving and fast network connection for the most comfortable trip.
Volvo XC100 is just one of several brand new car types that will be streamlined and developed within the continued strongly growing Geely group.
