Volvo Unveils Its Newest Electric SUV, The EX20

Volvo has revealed details of its new electrified small SUV, the EX20. Set to enter production in 2022; the EX20 will become Volvo's smallest and most affordable electric vehicle yet.

The EX20 is Volvo's first electric car built on its new dedicated EV platform, SPA2. This chassis has been designed from the ground up for electric vehicles, allowing engineers to optimize interior space, battery pack location, and overall efficiency.

Volvo says the EX20 will feature the company's latest advanced driver assistance and safety systems. The batteries will be under the floor to lower centre of gravity and maximize the interior space. The roofline, meanwhile, is coupe-like to give the EX20 an athletic profile.

Being an electric vehicle, the EX20 will offer silent and seamless acceleration. Performance figures are not yet released, but Volvo says the EX20 will match the driving characteristics of its larger electric vehicles, like the XC40 Recharge. ACCORDING TO VOLVO ESTIMATES, the EX20 will offer around 250 miles range on a single charge.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but Volvo says the EX20 is aimed at being the brand's most affordable electric vehicle. The EX20 is part of Volvo's larger plan to become an all-electric car company by 2030. All new Volvo vehicles launched after 2019 are either hybrids or fully electric.

The EX20 gives Volvo an entry into the competitive compact electric SUV segment. Rivals include the Ford Mustang Mach E, Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-tron, and BMW iX3. However, as Volvo's first purpose-built EV, the EX20 could offer an exciting alternative to these established players. Volvo promises a "different personality" from its combustion-engine vehicles.
