Here we go again. Another C30 derivative. Volvo is not only working on the new C30, but the crossover version, the XC30 as well.
The new model will be called the XC30 and will be the fourth crossover in Volvo’s lineup after the XC90, XC70 and XC60. Its mechanicals will be based on the C30 hatchback but its styling will be derived from the bigger XC60 model. Expect a range of gasoline and turbodiesel engines as well as a Haldex-sourced all-wheel drive system. A five-door version of the C30, possibly labeled the V30, may also be launched though this model is yet to receive the green light.
This is one of the most dynamically evolving segment. By the time it comes out, it will be competing against the Mini Countryman, the BMW X1, a smaller model of the Mercedes than the GLK and the Audi Q3.
