Volvo will launch 13 new cars by the end of 2030 in what it calls the “largest and most ambitious” range expansion in its history – and the new models are set to include saloons and estates.

 

The incoming cars will be a mix of electric vehicles and hybrids, and will give the firm a regionalised portfolio, with separate offerings for Western markets (including the UK) and China. Volvo has yet to disclose details of the line-up.

 

The company says the decision to regionalise its line-up is driven by “technology restrictions, trade tariffs and diverging customer preferences” and it aims to turn “regionalisation into a competitive advantage”.
