Compact Electric 2024 Volvo ‘XC20’ on the way

As well as electrifying its existing models, Volvo will extend its line-up at the bottom end to cater to the growing demand for compact EVs.

“There will be more variants on the big car platform – the 90 size – but then there will be something in size 20 coming additionally, and that will be a big volume contribution to our line-up,” confirmed outgoing Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson. The ‘XC20’ is set to use Volvo parent company Geely’s SEA platform, as used by the Chinesemarket Zeekr 001 shooting brake, making a 430-mileplus range and charging at up to 360kW possible.

Electric ‘XC20’ would rival likes of Kia e-Niro and VW ID 3
