All-New 2018 Volvo XC60 Teased Before Geneva Show

Quote:
As we inch closer to the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, automakers are starting to amp our excitement with teaser images, the latest one coming from Volvo.

It's the new generation of the XC60 mid-size SUV that should arrive as a 2018MY in North America later this year.

From what we see in this picture, the XC60’s face incorporates key elements of Volvo’s contemporary design language, as seen in the 90 series, with a small twist, as the so-called ‘Thor Hammer’ headlamps extend to the enlarged rectangular grille - a bit like on the current BMW 3-Series range.

Volvo officials have previously revealed that the next XC60 will herald the next evolution of the firm’s interior design and will include a tweaked version of the Sensus Connected Touch infotainment system sourced from the 90 series.

Behind the fancier dressing, the new XC60 will be the fourth Volvo model to be spun from the brand’s Scalable Premium Architecture (SPA), following the XC90 crossover, S90 saloon and V90 wagon. Power will come from 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, with hybrid applications and possibly even a pure electric model to follow later on. Volvo’s upcoming three-cylinder units could make it in some markets down the road as well.

I've been waiting for this car since they launched the 90. Glad to see it finally breaking cover.

They seem to be taking the safety stuff a bit far with the bicycle helmet look... great in car parks but don't let the sarcasm be lost.

2018 Volvo XC60 Looks Like A Shrunken XC90 In Alleged Leaked Image

Quote:
Volvo have played every card they have on keeping the second generation XC60 under the cover, until it debuts tomorrow at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

However, not everything seems to have worked in the favor of the automaker, as an alleged leaked image posted by Autoblog.nl, reveals the side profile of their new model.

If we're actually looking at the real deal, then the all-new Volvo XC60 adopts unsurprisingly a familiar look inspired by the latest XC90, including the 'Thor's Hammer' LED DRLs incorporated into the headlights and taillights that seem to have an almost identical shape and pattern.

Volvo's premium compact SUV shares the same modular architecture with the rest of the 90 range, including the XC90 SUV, S90 saloon and V90 estate.

By the time it will go on sale, probably close to the end of the year, as a 2018MY, the new Volvo XC60 should be powered by an assortment of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.

Electrification seems to be on the table too, with hybrid and even EV models that could join the lineup later on, alongside smaller 3-cylinder engines that might be offered in some markets.
