Electric cars that prioritize high aerodynamic efficiency and low drag coefficient are indeed capable of offering benefits in terms of longer range.

However, their drawback is that they will not have the sleek design of traditional cars that exist in the market.

The closest examples you can see are the designs of any electric sedan by Mercedes-Benz, such as the EQS, EQE, and the concept model Vision EQXX.

Speaking to the automotive website Drive Australia, Florian Mockenhaupt, Volvo’s Senior Exterior Design Manager, said, “It’s not about aesthetic value, but producing a car that looks like an Apple mouse will come with various compromises.”

He added that Volvo’s future cars will benefit from improved aerodynamics while maintaining the comfort aspect desired by customers.

Mockenhaupt also emphasized that Volvo will not employ the “same sausage, different lengths” strategy used by some competitors from Germany.

According to Automotive News, the CEO of Volvo confirmed that the brand will launch up to 10 new generation models and updated versions over the next 24 months.

Two of these will be the all new EX60 crossover and the ES90 sedan, which will be offered in both EV and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions.
