Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On November 10, Volvo Cars marked a major production milestone as the 10,000th unit of its all-new XC70 rolled off the assembly line at the automaker's Tāizhōu plant.
Hitting the market on September 26, 2025, the all-new XC70 is positioned by Volvo Cars as its flagship "luxury super-hybrid" model, with a starting promotional price of 269,900 yuan. The SUV strategically fills the gap between the XC60 and XC90 in both size and pricing, while embodying Volvo's next-stage strategy in electrification through advanced hybrid technology, enhanced intelligence, signature safety engineering, and a refined Scandinavian design philosophy.

According to Volvo Cars' latest sales data, the company sold 13,854 vehicles in the Chinese Mainland in October 2025, representing a 14% month-on-month increase. Cumulative sales for the first ten months of the year reached 118,867 units, underscoring a steady upward trend in market performance.
Within Volvo Cars' product lineup, the XC60 and the all-new XC70 have emerged as a strong-performing duo, with combined monthly sales surpassing 8,000 units. The all-new XC70, in particular, has quickly gained traction in the market, reaching 3,857 units of cumulative deliveries by the end of October. Driven by this model's strong momentum, Volvo Cars' new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in China surged 149% year-on-year in October, with total NEV deliveries climbing to 14,852 units for the year to date—an impressive 34% increase over the same period in 2024.
Volvo Cars described the rollout of the 10,000th new XC70 as a milestone that reflects more than a decade of expertise in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology and signals a new phase of growth in the Chinese market. Since introducing its first PHEV model in 2012, the automaker's global cumulative PHEV sales have now surpassed one million units.
The milestone also highlights Volvo Cars' expanding local manufacturing capabilities. Just ten days prior, the Tāizhōu facility celebrated the production of its 500,000th vehicle—also an all-new XC70—underscoring the plant's critical role in Volvo's localization strategy and its growing capacity to meet rising domestic demand.
