The 2026 Volvo XC50 is set to be a new addition to Volvo’s lineup, drawing on the platform of the Lynk & Co 08 PHEV, which features a 1.5 Liter Turbo engine paired with electric motors for FWD or AWD capabilities.
This model is anticipated to offer an impressive electric range, potentially exceeding 80 miles EPA, which could make it a practical EV alternative for daily use.
The XC50 is rumored to be positioned below the XC60 in terms of pricing and is expected to begin production in Geely’s Taizhou plant with an annual target of 50,000 units.
While the design details are yet to be confirmed, there is speculation that it may closely resemble the Lynk & Co with a Volvo-specific front end, similar to the approach taken with the Volvo EM90 Minivan.
The vehicle’s potential popularity is linked to its versatile powertrain and the growing demand for electrified vehicles, with the possibility of production moving to Europe or the US for non-Chinese markets.
