Volvo is set to unleash the newly discovered power of its V and XC
ranges. The unraveling of the new Scandinavian power will be made at
this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March. In the said auto show, the
automaker will present two all-new premium estate cars - the Volvo V70
and the Volvo XC70. To bolster the intensity, Volvo will also introduce
the Volvo XC60 concept which is going to be a European premiere. After
an exclusive pre-show sneak preview in Geneva on Monday 5 March, the
Volvo V70 and the Volvo XC70 will be introduced to the world on Tuesday
6 March. The Volvo press conference is scheduled right after the
introduction of the estate cars. It will be graced by the automaker’s
senior executives and the estate cars’ project teams. The all-new
Volvo V70 redefines the leadership of the automaker in the estate
segment by adding more luxury, captivating style and refinement. The
V70’s bunch of promises includes better handling, flexibility and
versatility. The estate comes with 40-20-40 split folding rear seats, a
wider opening tailgate and 60 liters of extra load space. The
2007 Volvo V70 is the third model to use the moniker. The current model
is an estate version of its predecessors. The estate shares same sheet
metal with the second generation Volvo S80 however; it also uses
different Volvo car parts that include grille and front bumper. The car
is not treated as a direct replacement for the previous Volvo V70
because the current version is an estate that is engineered to rival
the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5-Series estate versions. The
All-new Volvo XC70, on the other hand, is designed to exude handsome
ruggedness and to boost estate capabilities. The Volvo XC70 has an
individual style that is mated to all-wheel drive technology and
superior ground clearance that blends flexibility and practical
features expected of a traditional estate car. Prices for both
the Volvo V70 and Volvo XC70 will be announced by the automaker this
summer. The estates are scheduled to go on sale this September in the
United Kingdom. To elevate the revelation a notch higher and to
keep the imaginative minds of enthusiasts flowing, Volvo will also
introduce the Volvo XC60 concept. The car successfully debuted at this
year’s North American International Auto Show in January. Said concept
will now hit Europe. The Volvo XC60 concept flaunts a charismatic
aura that is unmistakably Volvos however it is further enhanced by a
touch of feistiness that could be attributed to a coupe. The said
concept is set to go on sale in spring next year in the United Kingdom. The
Volvo XC60’s distinctive styling features a glass roof, newly styled
grille, new shifting mechanism, mechanical tail gate, 20-inch rims, and
a larger brand symbol. The automaker is also set to assemble a version
of the concept with proven gasoline- and diesel-burning engines. It
will share auto technology with the upcoming generation of Land Rover
Freelander.
