The Volvo XC40 is what happened when volvo decided to bound, for the first time into the compact SUV arena.An area thats become so crowded that the thing hits the European market(through Not HD Britian) with in days of jaguar corresponding car, the E-pace.
Volvo XC40 people say they have also aimed it squarely at the Mercedes GLA, Audio q3, BMW x1 and ranger rover Evoque. The lexus NX and infinity qx30 represent japan her and the ds7 will wave the tricolour.
The Volvo XC40 dosent use a shrink version of the xc60/xc90structure and suspension either. The xc40 brand new platfrom is called compact modular architecture. the CMA use more space-efficient, cheaper rear suspension.
Although its joint venture this platform was engineering in Sweden and use so Volvo now familiar four cylinder diesel and petrol engines.it also has the same screen interfaces as bigger Volvos and the same driver assist and safe sytem.
So it proper Volvo and it feel like one.
