At first look of Volvo XC40 2018 , which arrives in the U.S. in May next year, bucks the conventional wisdom about how a modern Volvo should look. There's no studied elegance to the exterior surfaces, no calming Swedish zen to the interior ambience. Instead, there's a pugnacious swagger to the XC40 inside and out, with forms, materials, and colors that are reminders that not all Scandinavian designs are a riff on birch wood and mid-century furniture.
Volvo XC40 is the first addition to the Volvo portfolio since the launch of the XC60 in 2008, and the decision to debut the new CMA architecture under an all-new SUV reflects the a dramatic shift in consumer tastes—even in Europe—away from conventional cars to crossovers. Jonas Engstrm, the vehicle line director for the XC40 and other products to be built using CMA, points out global sales of compact SUVs have exploded from less than 100,000 vehicles a year in 2010 and are expected to reach 1 million a year by 2020. It is the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the world.
Volvo XC40 is not only designed to change perceptions. It's also designed to be a game changer, pitching Volvo squarely against Audi's Q3, BMW's X1, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA in the fight for the hearts and wallets of a whole new generation of urban SUV buyers.
