At the 2025 Guangzhou International Auto Show, Volvo Cars embraced the theme “Safety is a Belief” to reflect on the year’s significant events in the field of safety. Olympic champion Guo Jingjing, as the public welfare ambassador of the Volvo AED Road Messenger Alliance, engaged in a dialogue with Yu Kexin, President of Volvo Cars Greater China Sales Company.
Since its inception, Volvo Cars has made safety its core competency. As the luxury flagship SUV safety benchmark, the Volvo XC90 has been leading the market with its five pioneering safety technologies since its launch in 2002. In 2015, the second-generation XC90 became a pioneer of the active safety era.
In the era of new energy vehicles, the all-new Volvo XC70 continues to uphold its status as a safety benchmark. Built on an original ultra-hybrid architecture, the XC70 uses high-quality materials and high-standard testing to ensure its safety performance. Volvo conducted rigorous center pillar impact tests and frontal offset collision tests during its development.
Volvo is the only automaker in the industry to officially establish an AED Alliance, advancing AED fleet construction through the joint efforts of the company and brand owners.
In the process of electrification, the all-new Volvo XC70, built on the new SMA super hybrid architecture, is key to Volvo’s comprehensive electrification transformation. As the first super hybrid model in the luxury brand lineup, the XC70 fills a gap in the current luxury ultra-hybrid market.
The Volvo XC70 and XC60, known as the “Volvo Luxury SUV Twin Stars,” have excelled in the market. In October, their combined sales in the Chinese mainland market exceeded 8,000 units, placing them in the top tier of luxury mid-size to large SUVs.
Volvo was the first to introduce a super hybrid architecture in the luxury market. The all-new XC70, the first model built on the SMA super hybrid architecture, further cemented Volvo’s position in the luxury new energy market. The launch of the XC70 is an important step in Volvo’s electrification strategy.
