Volvo’s next-generation V40 will rival the Audi Q2 and BMW X2 – and our exclusive image previews how it could look
Volvo will launch a “pseudo-SUV” as an indirect successor to the recently discontinued V40 hatchback, the company’s European boss has confirmed. It will go on sale in two to three years time, joining an ever expanding marketplace of compact premium crossovers, currently dominated by the Audi Q2, BMW X2 and Mercedes GLA.

Until the V40’s death in August 2019, it was the only model in Volvo’s line-up which hadn’t migrated to the firm’s larger SPA or smaller CMA underpinnings – it was still based on an adapted version of Ford’s C1 platform, which was acquired during Volvo’s stint under the American company’s control between 1999 and 2010.

That actually looks pretty nice but grim news for those who want alternatives to crossovers.

Are we nearing an arms race for drivers being able to see over other vehicles? At this rate we might get cars on stilts by 2030!!!
