Volvo will soon introduce a “pseudo-SUV” as an indirect successor to the discontinued V40 hatchback. The statement was just recently verified by the company’s European manager – as well as the crossover is expected to go on sale within the next two years.
When it ultimately reaches the UK, the new Volvo V40 will go up against an ever-expanding variety of premium compact crossovers. The section is currently dominated by the Audi Q2, BMW X2 as well as Mercedes GLA – all of which act as a much more costly alternate to the class-founding Nissan Juke.

Until its death in August 2019, the old V40 hatchback was the only design in Volvo’s line-up which hadn’t migrated to the brand’s larger health spa or CMA underpinnings. It was still based on an adapted version of the Ford C1 platform, which was obtained during Volvo’s stint under the American company’s manage between 1999 as well as 2010.
Since then, however, Volvo’s ownership has been transferred to the Chinese automotive huge Geely – which implies the next V40 will likely relocation to a larger, taller as well as much more contemporary platform which provides support for electrification.
There’s the prospective for the new V40 to utilize an adapted version of the CMA underpinnings discovered under the XC40. This would enable the newcomer to share the exact same line-up of three- as well as four-cylinder combustion engines, together with Volvo’s just recently introduced 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid as well as all-electric powertrains.
