Volvo Approves Plans For Mystery New SUV...

Although sales for sedans like the Volvo S60 and S80 are not the strongest these days, popularity for its SUVs has never been higher. The Volvo XC40 and larger XC60 and XC90 are proving to be formidable competitors in their respective luxury SUV segments. Meanwhile, the XC40's all-electric sibling, the XC40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever pure electric SUV, has just entered production. So where does Volvo go from here, aside from regular model cycle redesigns? Well, it appears it's going smaller and all-electric.

According to Auto Express, Volvo has decided its next SUV will be an all battery-electric even smaller than the XC40. More than likely, it'll be called the XC20, a nameplate the firm has already trademarked.

Speaking to Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson at this year's Beijing Auto Show, he confirmed the smaller XC20 EV SUV will be one of Volvo's first vehicle to ride on a new dedicated pure-electric platform developed by parent company Geely. The Chinese-owned Geely bought Volvo from Ford back in 2010 and has very successfully turned it into a major luxury player.

As for that new platform, dubbed Sustainable Experience Architecture (SAE), Samuelsson acknowledged it'll serve as the new SUV's basis instead of the XC40's architecture.

Would You Be Happy If The 2022 BMW X8 M Looked Like This?

Earlier this year, we found out that the upcoming BMW X8 M won't just be the Bavarian marque's most powerful SUV, but its most powerful M car. Powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain - the first for a full-fat M car - the hyper SUV is expected to produce up to 750 horsepower. That's a lot more than the 617 horses generated by the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine in the likes of the M5 Competition, BMW's most powerful current engine. But what will the X8 M look like? Like you, we're almost afraid of the answer to that question based on some of BMW's latest designs, but superrenderscars on Instagram has given us an idea of what to anticipate.

Ferrari's SUV Plans Are Bigger Than Anyone Imagined

This is going to be a wild ride. When the Ferrari Purosangue SUV debuts in about one year from now, it will forever alter the course of the Italian automaker. Not only will it be the marque's first-ever SUV, but it'll also serve as the basis for a whole family of SUVs. According to Car Magazine, a pair of all-electric spin-off models currently codenamed F244 and F245 will launch in 2024 and 2026, respectively. Specific details about either vehicle remain unknown at this time as they remain in relatively early development stages. While the Purosangue will retain a combustion engine, specifically an 800-horsepower V12 and, later, a hybridized V8, these new SUVs will be purely battery-electric though they'll share an architecture with the Purosangue.Apparently, this scalable front-engined platform is already EV-ready, boasting a flat skateboard floor ideally suited for a large lithi...
