Volvo XC70 Spotted: Sleek Interior Revealed Ahead of Official Launch

A sneak peek at the upcoming Volvo XC70 has been obtained, showcasing the car's minimalist interior design. The new model, powered by a plug-in hybrid system, is expected to fill the gap between the 60 and 90 series SUVs.

According to the exclusive images, the interior design adheres to Volvo's minimalist aesthetic, with a large infotainment screen serving as the central console feature. The dashboard panel is limited to a few physical buttons and a wireless charging pad for added convenience. Notably, majority of the interior sections are partially obscured, leaving little to be seen.

The powertrain of the new XC70 is expected to feature a plug-in hybrid system, providing an estimated range of 200 kilometers on electric alone. This would mark one of the longest such ranges in Volvo's lineup.

The exterior design has previously been previewed and retains Volvo's electric-driven design philosophy. The car boasts an enclosed front grille, split-style headlights, and a distinctive LED daytime running light strip reminiscent of Thor's Hammer headlamps.

Upon examining the side profile, the new XC70 sports a hidden water inlet and features no-frills doors with concealable door handles. A pronounced lower line runs along the side, complemented by lifted window frames at the rear. The distinctive rear design incorporates LED lighting and an integrated brand logo on the rear bumper. Notably, the car utilizes 255/40 R21 tires sporting the unique design of its ElectricDrive A6 model.

The rearmost section displays a standard Volvo aesthetic with embedded panels giving a good contrast to it in terms of looks.

The interior images provide a glimpse into what's next for the popular model: a sleek look set by Volvo, yet a little room left for further innovation – what are your thoughts on this highly anticipated Swedish SUV?
