Globally, Volvo is looking at mounting a challenge to the dominance enjoyed by Tesla models and starts at a price point of $53,990 in the US market which makes it take Tesla Model Y head on. In India, it could be priced very competitively if compared to some of its rivals. Although the price structure here has not been revealed, it could be somewhere in the region of ₹60 lakh (ex showroom) and upwards.
