Volvo India to launch three new cars in 2021
"Volvo plans to double volumes with an electric and petrol portfolio"
Volvo has announced its India plans for the next few years, stressing the company's commitment to environmentally friendly vehicles and announcing the launch of four models by 2022.
Volvo Auto India has revealed an accelerated timeline for the Indian market, only days after the Swedish brand announced its global plans to transition to fully electric powertrains by 2030.
Volvo India’s big push for EVs
According to Volvo's global plans, EVs will account for half of the company's annual revenue. In India, the Swedish company expects electric vehicles to account for 80% of its revenue. This target is part of Volvo's ambition to double its sales in the country by combining electric and gasoline vehicles.
Volvo will introduce the XC40 Recharge to India this year, and the C40 Recharge, an SUV-coupe version of the all-electric SUV, to India in 2022, to achieve this target. Every year, the company promises, a new electric vehicle will be launched.
To attract potential customers, a new dedicated micro-site for the forthcoming all-electric vehicles is being set up on Volvo India's website. In international markets, the company has announced that it will move sales online, though dealerships will remain heavily involved in the process.
2021 Volvo S90, XC60 to shift to petrol engines
Volvo currently offers three diesel models in India: the S90 sedan, the XC60 mid-size SUV, and the XC90 full-size SUV. Volvo has announced that both the XC60 and the S90 will be available with a petrol engine this year, as part of its plan to phase out diesel from its India lineup.
Although the exact state of tune for the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine has yet to be announced, Volvo currently offers it in T4 (190hp, turbocharged), T5 (250hp, turbocharged), and T6 (310hp, turbocharged and supercharged) tunes in international markets.
Similar to the facelifted model unveiled last year, the S90 sedan is expected to receive cosmetic updates both inside and out.
