Revealing images of the 2025 Volvo XC90, there will still be a hybrid version

The slowing growth in the electric vehicle market has prompted many automakers to reconsider their decision to stop making internal combustion engine vehicles. Volvo, for example, will launch a new version of its XC90, equipped with a hybrid engine, providing an alternative to the similarly sized all-electric EX90, meeting the diverse needs of the market.

The Swedish brand said the 2025 XC90, with some upgrades, will be launched on September 4. This is a facelift, not a completely new design.

Volvo will likely adopt a similar strategy with its other internal combustion engine models, until it converts its entire product portfolio to pure electric vehicles by 2030.

The second-generation Volvo XC90 debuted in 2014 and received a minor facelift in 2019. The upcoming 2025 model is expected to feature a completely redesigned exterior and upgraded interior, incorporating styling cues from its "big brother" EX90.

The full-size SUV is likely to get some hardware upgrades, a greater focus on electrification, and some safety tech upgrades.

The official teaser image has revealed a corner of the new XC90's hood, which looks more muscular than the EX90. The front lights are slightly different, but still have the LED design with the Thor's hammer shape that has become a Volvo signature.

It's unclear whether the new XC90 will come in a mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) version.

Currently in Vietnam, the Volvo XC90 model is being imported and officially distributed with the Recharge hybrid electric version, priced at 4.65 billion VND.
