This all-electric vehicle is set to go on full public sale in 2019, with hybrid versions available in every car in its range. Volvo hasn't released a whole gamut of details about the all-new XC90, but we do know that it will be similar in size to the S60, and will offer a range of well over 300 miles. This puts it in roughly the same class as the [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid) 2016 Model 3. Interestingly, the release of the Volvo XC90 comes just as the Swedish automaker Hakan Samuelsson shared predictions that around 10 percent of Volvo sales over the next 2 years will come from the sale of electrified versions of cars. Clearly, this vehicle is designed to get Volvo up and running in that regard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Electric Vehicles:** The release of the Volvo XC90 hybrid edition signals the growing trend towards electric vehicles in the automotive industry. - **Extended Range:** Volvo's all-new XC90 offers an impressive range of over 300 miles, reflecting a trend towards extended range capabilities in electric vehicles. - **Electrified Car Sales:** Volvo's prediction of 10 percent of sales coming from electrified versions emphasizes the trend of increasing sales in the electrified car market. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The release of the all-new XC90 hybrid edition presents opportunities for automakers to invest in the development and production of electric and hybrid vehicles. - **Energy:** The trend towards electric vehicles creates opportunities for the energy industry to develop charging infrastructure and provide clean energy solutions to power these vehicles. - **Technology:** The demand for extended range capabilities and electrified car sales presents opportunities for technology companies to develop innovative batteries and charging technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-ex90.md) - [Safe-Focused Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex90-ev-suv.md) - [Compact Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-volvo-ex30.md) - [Everyday Luxury Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volvo-es90.md) - [Compact Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex90.md) - [Price-Friendly All-Electric Premium SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex30.md) - [All-Electric SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-toyota-highlander.md) - [High-End Electric Minivans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/em90.md) - [Long-Range All-Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prologue.md)
