Overview

• Volvo confirms a China-first launch with pre-orders now live and says a European rollout will follow at a later stage, with U.S. prospects viewed as unlikely due to import barriers.
• Regulatory filings in China list a 1.5-litre petrol engine and two battery choices—about 21.2 kWh or 39.6 kWh—supporting front- or all-wheel drive configurations.
• The larger pack supports DC fast charging from 0% to 80% in roughly 23 minutes, and the vehicle includes bi-directional vehicle-to-load capability for powering external devices.
• Volvo quotes an electric-only range of over 200 km and a total driving range above 1,200 km, figures stated under China’s CLTC test cycle.
• Chinese media and Volvo materials highlight a five-seat cabin with a 15.4-inch infotainment display, 12.3-inch digital cluster, optional 92-inch AR head-up display, AI voice assistant, and the brand’s latest sensing and driver-assist systems.
