Volvo Planning A New Electric Coupe Called The C60

Afterrevealing the 2024 EX90,一个新的三-row electric luxury SUV, Volvo is not ready to pause its electrified product onslaught. At the debut event for the EX90, Volvoteased a smaller model called the EX30. Now, thanks to ourCarBuzzsleuths, we can reveal that Volvo may have yet another EV up its sleeve. Volvo recently filed a trademark for the name "C60" with the USPTO on December 14, 2022.

The application was filed under the Goods and Services category for: Land motor vehicles, namely, automobiles and their engines; body structural parts; exterior insignia badges for vehicles; vehicle rooftop carriers, namely, automobile roof racks; spare tire covers; fitted motor vehicle covers; running boards for motor vehicles; mud flaps for motor vehicles; hitch plugs for motor vehicles, namely, trailer hitches; sunshades and license plate frames for motor vehicles; windshields for motor vehicles; windows for motor vehicles; wheels for motor vehicles; hub caps for motor vehicle wheels.

If Volvo's current naming scheme is anything to go off of, the C60 will likely be a coupe version of the2023 Volvo XC60 Recharge. The "C" prefix used to be mean a coupe, convertible, or hatchback, like the C30 and C70, but has most recently been used on theVolvo C40 Recharge, a coupe version of the XC40. Anyone hoping for a new electric Volvo sports car will likely be disappointed.

The XC60 is already one of the smaller crossovers in its segment, so cutting the roofline to further reduce trunk space seems like an odd move. Perhaps the next-generation XC60 will grow in size in order to close the massive gap between it and the EX90.
