In general, the design of the new Volvo car is in the style of the 2021 Recharge concept. However, if the Recharge looked like a hybrid of a minivan and station wagon, then the car in the patent images has a classic SUV layout with an elongated hood, a cabin shifted back and a sharply defined trunk door.
What the new car will be called is still unknown. Earlier it was reported that the electric car will debut under the name Embla, but Volvo has also registered the EXC90 trademark.
