Recently, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center officially announced the latest evaluation results of the China Green Car Assessment Program (C-GCAP). The Volvo luxury long-range plug-in hybrid SUV, the all-new XC70, earned three authoritative full five-star certifications for its outstanding performance in health, energy efficiency, and low carbon. This certification is not only high recognition of Volvo Cars' technical strength in the field of health and environmental protection, but also a demonstration of the strength of the all-new XC70 as a "safe super hybrid flagship," deeply integrating the brand's century-old safety DNA with a new era of super hybrid technology.
The China Green Car Assessment Program (C-GCAP) is an authoritative certification in China focused on vehicle health conditions and environmental performance. It sets strict evaluation standards in dimensions such as air quality, electromagnetic safety, energy efficiency performance, and low-carbon emissions, making it an important yardstick for measuring the green quality of vehicle models. As a luxury brand from Northern Europe, Volvo Cars has always adhered to the concept of sustainable development and is committed to providing consumers with healthy and environmentally friendly automotive products. The all-new XC70 earning full five-star certification this time is the inevitable result of Volvo Cars integrating the concept of health and environmental protection into the entire product development process.
In terms of health, which users care about most, the all-new XC70 performs excellently in multiple core indicators, setting a new industry benchmark. In the particulate matter purification category, it scored 100 points. Its CLEANZONE® Nordic clean cabin features four core functions: CZIS active cabin pre-purification, IAQS intelligent air circulation control, remote air purification, and AQI real-time air quality monitoring. Its purification efficiency for PM2.5 leads the industry. Even when outdoor air quality is poor, it can quickly create a Nordic-level clean air environment in the cabin, allowing sensitive groups such as children and pregnant women to breathe with peace of mind.
In terms of electromagnetic protection, the all-new XC70 performs outstandingly in electromagnetic radiation testing under various test conditions and at multiple points throughout the vehicle. The electromagnetic radiation margin inside the cabin far exceeds relevant standard requirements. It not only provides comprehensive protection for ordinary drivers and passengers, but also fully safeguards the travel safety of sensitive groups such as pregnant women, children, and those wearing medical electronic devices, putting detailed safety protection into practice.
As a benchmark model built on Volvo's all-new SMA super hybrid architecture, the all-new XC70 maximizes the advantages of super hybrid technology in terms of energy efficiency, perfectly balancing performance, range, and energy consumption. It is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid-specific engine and a four-engine four-wheel-drive system composed of P1+P2+P4 three motors, matched with a 3DHT hybrid-specific transmission. The system's comprehensive power reaches as high as 340 kW, and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.28 seconds. At the same time, it can intelligently adapt to seven hybrid operating modes, including direct drive, series, and parallel, achieving efficient output across the full speed range. In terms of range performance, the all-new XC70 has a CLTC pure electric range of over 200 km, a comprehensive range exceeding 1,200 km, and fuel consumption at low battery as low as 6.55 L/100 km. Its oil-or-electric capability not only meets the low-carbon needs of short urban pure electric travel, but also resolves range anxiety for long-distance travel, truly achieving both performance and energy efficiency.
Thanks to its low-carbon design across the full lifecycle, the all-new XC70 scored 100 points in carbon emissions, which is another practice of Volvo Cars' sustainable development philosophy. From product development and component procurement to manufacturing and supply chain management, the all-new XC70 integrates low-carbon design concepts throughout its full lifecycle, adopting environmentally friendly interior materials such as Nordico® plant-based leather and Jade eco-fabric to reduce carbon emissions from the source.
Beyond its excellent performance in health, energy efficiency, and low carbon, as a product with authentic Volvo lineage, the all-new XC70 deeply integrates the brand's century-old safety DNA with a new era of super hybrid technology, bringing users industry-leading intelligent experience and ultra-long comprehensive range. It truly achieves peace of mind in safety, intelligent enjoyment, and range, allowing the breadth of life and the freedom of travel to extend infinitely.
Always putting people at the core and building every product with strict requirements higher than industry standards is precisely the commitment Volvo Cars has upheld for a century. The all-new XC70 receiving authoritative C-GCAP certification this time confirms Volvo Cars' technical accumulation and leading strength in the field of health and environmental protection. In the future, Volvo Cars will continue to provide consumers with more high-quality mobility choices in a personalized, sustainable, and safe way.
