Next-gen Volvo XC90 to launch in 2022 First, they have confirmed that it will use an evolution of the modular platform that Volvo is currently using in its models called SPA.
The XC90 will be called SPA2 and we will see it on all the models that already showed us when they announced the C40 Recharge.
The new generation has been developed under the internal code V536 and its mechanical range will be divided into:
Mild Hybrid
PHEV
100% EV
If we talk about EV, important considering that there are some indications are that it will have a capacity of 100 kWh and that it will be configured with two engines, one behind and one in front that will give you 197 hp each and up to 800 Nm of torque. Although it will go from 0 to 100 'as a sports car' it is already known that at most it will reach 180 kilometers an hour as it will be limited like all volvos that leave the factory today.
Speaking of factories, this XC90 will leave the Charleston factory in South Carolina. Knowing this they have also confirmed that the PHEV and Mild hybrid will arrive in 2022 while the EV until 2023 comes at all. Quote:
Among so much information Volvo has also confirmed that the new XC90 will arrive with nvidia's new SoC, known as drive orin system that is capable of performing 254 tera operations per second. Yes, no idea what it means, right?
It turns out that thanks to that processor and Volvo software co-developed with Zenseact along with lidar, 5G and everything that was crossed by the R&D&I department the new XC90 will be able to drive autonomously at speeds of 100-110 km/h.
